I think there is always room for other versions as long as they offer something different to the original. Depends on your buying habits and whether you are stuck in a time warp as some are. Not saying you are , I personally would not buy this even though I quite like it. Not a new thing is it different versions. What's the count on Open the Door to Your Heart, thread on here long time ago,think it was 14 or maybe more,could be wrong,I often am,think Mike did a poll on that as to what was the best,I think Darrell came out on top but if memory serves there were plenty of votes for other versions.

I'm showing my ignorance in my initial post, I meant a turntable with pre amp which i assumed I needed to go with the active speakers.

Cheers for the reply Karl, appreciate it

It's for downstairs in a smallish front room. I already have two cheap Gemini decks with a Sherwoood amp and two speakers from a Sony Giga Duke .I upgraded the cartridges on the decks. I have those in the man cave where i play most of my music,rarely play albums. I might do a swap and have whatever i get in the cave.ive been looking at an Audio Technica lp120 or an Argon Audio TTmk2 deck wise. Speakers the Dali Specktor 2, Reason what I have at the moment is a bit of a miss mash I'd not played my vinyl fir 30 years until a mate at work gave me the decks and mixer. After starting buying again 5yrs ago I think it's time to treat myself to something half decent for downstairs. Cheers for the reply

Anybody clued up and can help with opinions on which way I should go. I'm stuck between a turntable with amp and active speakers or the usual turntable,amp speakers set up. I'm not looking for top end just want a decent set up the thrust of my question being as above.

I can't remember the exact details it gave at the end of the programme and what date those results were up but they did say investigations were ongoing, I've just read that a guy from Liverpool was convicted and sentenced to 10 yrs at the end of July for drug offences . In the article it said data was still being looked into and people could still expect a knock on the door.

Hi, did you mean to post this in record wants?

Click on the forums link, you'll see a list of forums, click on the Soul Media one that's your place to share.

Same here, a very gentle man ,very quietly spoken. My mum worked with his wife who was the complete opposite.It wasn't until after he died when I said to mum what a nice man he was that she told me he was a Chindit behind the Japanese lines and had been captured. It has stayed with me ever since when you hear about old people being attacked,disrespected etc that you never know their back story.

Nice tune, cheers

Binged watched it over the weekend Kathryn, brilliant, there's worse to come. Not a spoiler but as is usual with me I looked up the background to the book and tv series. They had a meetings with someone in Japan I guess about how far the should go showing the brutality of the Japanese on the Burma railway.They were told to hold nothing back, as a nation they had to own their history.

I'd like it if more sellers updated when a record is sold, can't be any more time consuming than having to answer an enquiry message if a record is still available.

Slightly relevant to the topic showing the hopes of teenagers around that time. My mate now on his eighties used to sing in the clubs and pubs in the early 60's singing hits of the time in particular Billy Fury. He was approached by some lads who were forming a band to be their lead singer, he was happy at the time being solo. That band turned out to be the Hollies, his near brush with fame.

This is a jolly instrumental,probably a bit too poppy but some great sax playing, I like it anyways. Postage costs more than the record. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiWSjBZPtws&si=5rFmC7q-NYcbCFGt

I think you could well be right about that, I'm sure I've seen an interview with Steve Cropper where he stated as much, memory isn't what it was hence it won't be the first time I've been wrong.

Very nice Mal, I'm with you on Emma's Gotta Be With You being the better version much as I have always liked the Malcolm Hayes.

Enjoyed listening to those Mal, I didn't know the Emma Rede version when I saw it listed with 3 mins to go on ebay a while back, after a quick listen was very happy to find no one else bid on it with a low starting price. Bought the Kieth and Billie after buying the Bigman Jimmy Radcliffe issue only to get a message from the seller saying he couldn't find the bloody record and had issued a refund.

The Sensations a great double sider and a nice recommendation, Manhattans, one that had slipped from the memory, cheers.

Mix Tape on BBC with catch up on iplayer is well worth watching. One for the romantics,set in Sheffield in the late 90's and the present, a tale of lost love. Soundtrack won't be to everyone's liking, The Cure,Joy Division etc with a nice nod to a Northern classic in there. I'll admit I enjoyed the soundtrack late 80's early 90's indie is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Depends what to you is a cheapie, here's a few that are definitely cheap, might broaden your horizon away from out and out Northern in some cases , bit of a mix of styles, I'll put the tin hat on The Platters Don't Hear,Speak ,See no Evil Ronnie Dyson We can make It Last Forever /A Little Love great twofer Donnie Elbert This Feeling of Losing you Rachel Maxaan All of this and Nothing The C.O.D's I'm a Good Guy Smith and the Honey Badgers Nothing lasts Forever Harold Melvin Reaching for the world Fantastic four As long as i live Cheryl Hunter Make Good Love To Me The Platters Devri Jive Five Cryin Like a Baby/ You'll Fall In love The Nite-Lighters Cherish Every Precious Moment fab instrumental Bobby Byrd and Vicki Anderson Here Is My Everything Hope you find something that floats your boat

Don't know if anyone had mentioned Pale Mountains, Italian crime series on Channel 4 catch up. One of the best things I've watched in a while. Highly recommended, keeps you thinking to the end.

It would seem so, telling that she says we will make no further comment at this time. I think I'd be protesting my innocence to all and sundry were the accusations false.

Brilliant series, we've watched all four,the quality never drops, excellent recommendation for those who have missed it.

I've read the book and when the film was announced I couldn't see how they could faithfully recreate it, as with the people you have talked with the book is a really good read. Much like the film of Where the Crawdads Sing which I saw after reading the book you didn't get a sense of the depth of the people portrayed in the film as you do in the book. With a film I think you either engage with actor playing the part or you don't whereas with a book you get to know the characters more slowly and build up how they look etc in your imagination. A case in point being Tom Cruise cast as Jack Reacher, I have neither read the books or seen the films but my mate being a fan found it hard to accept Cruise as Jack due to a height difference as Reacher was described as 6' 5" and an imposing figure, Cruise being 5' 7".
