Certainly do Ian. It's great to have the tracks in chronological order by venue.

Spoke too soon. Disc 4 track listings not on Gracenote yet. Might upload them myself if they haven't appeared by the time I rip the other discs.

Royal Mail called at 1230. Very nice looking box set, top marks for presentation. Look forward to listening to the tracks, watching the DVDs and reading the book. Good to see all the track listings are already on iTunes. Well done all at Harmless.

Still waiting for Royal Mail to get their arse round here with it. My heart sank when I saw that they were the courier.

The cape man made it for me.

Amazon have just dispatched my copy. Hurrah.

That's good value.

Crafty beggars. https://thesoundofvinyl.com/search.html?term=motown

Also available direct from Universal for the same price. Haven't heard anything about the quality of this box set yet. Would like to think they've done a better job than the first Motown 7s box set. https://store.universalmusic.com/udiscover/*/Vinyl-Back-to-Black/The-Stateside-Motown-7s-Vinyl-Box/3LD504F9000

There are over 100 US military bases in Italy. Would this have any bearing on the type of music that found its way over there?

Only if manusf3a writes the script.

I think that I'd be handy If they cast me as Winstanley I'd be good in that role With the music you'd be hearing The dancefloor you'd be clearing Oh if I only had some Soul

This doesn't look like Wigan anymore, Toto.

The mole was active today......Toni Lamarr played on the Graham Norton Show.

Happy 75th birthday to William Smokey Robinson, singer / songwriter extraordinaire. One of my favourites, "The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage"..... https://youtu.be/Xu8WOh58EvI

Have to agree with dedji on this one. The Archers was more entertaining.

Or an Eddie Parker.....I'm Gone.

Well deserved.

Amazon have got it for £32, still a bargain for a 10 CD box set. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philadelphia-International-40th-Anniversary-Box/dp/B006ZGDC26/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424275342&sr=8-1&keywords=philadelphia+40th+box

I always ask for an Eddie Harrison.

Try Ikea's Gnedby range. Very flexible, and you can add glass or solid doors if required..... https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40277143/#/10277149

Arrived in the post this morning. Just having a listen now. Tidy.

Probably count on one hand the number of kids my age who were into it when I was in the third, fourth and fifth years at school. There were probably more older lads into it. As a percentage I'd probably put it in low single figures. I suppose Punk, New Wave, Disco and then all the greebo music that was around in the 70's attracted more followers.

Pete, you may need to look into the regulations if you're thinking of using it as a bedroom. It may need a permanent staircase installing, and a Velux window or two, depending on the floor area. Easy enough to board it out for extra storage, but if it's used as a living space I'd seek professional advice.

With BBC Films scooping the award for Outstanding Contribution to British Cinema earlier in the evening, "Pride" (by BBC Films) was always going to win the Best Newcomer category. Difficult to compete against all that TV Licence fee funding.
