No Sly involvment though these days ... https://thefamilystoneband.com/the-family/

On a PC or phone it's just an OK tune. You really need to hear this in a big dark room , on a big system , at three in the morning .

Synth or organ ... ?

Nice , lots of new to me tunes there to binge on over the holiday ...

Only really familiar with The Stiperstones from Malcolm Saville's "Lone Pine" series along with the Long Mynd. I do recall an outcrop called "Cranberry Rock" though and a quick 'google' has lead me to a whole new bunch of berries to investigate , as well as rekindling memories of some great reading , off to find the books again now , thanks for the memory jog ... https://www.shropshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/autumn-berries

Been working for me for nigh on six decades ...

For lard read "real beef dripping" , absolutely essential for the following day's breakfast on toast ... And I'd better not start a flame war by mentioning having 'spare' yorkshire pudding with golden syrup on it as a little treat after a roast dinner ...

Just finished series one of "Das Boot" , not particularly "christmassy" but the next three series will be my festive binge-watch ...

Same as it's always been , there have always been folk with deeper pockets than the "average Joe" and have got the big ticket items that mere mortals have to dream of owning. The prices might be bigger today but the ratio of loadsamoney to lessmoney probably remains the same.

Thanks to a timely re-issue from @Mark Bicknell to remind me this sublime double sider from '68 is right up there ...

Betty LaVette - "What Condition My Condition Was In"

What an unholy racket ... 🙉

And that would be ........ ?

Same stable but the better 45 in my world ...

A tracklist might be somewhat useful ... !

Hayes Cotton on Resist , Ronnie Forte on Tarx , Otis Clay on Dakar/Atlantic , Carol Anderson on Whip , Gwen Davis on Sound Stage Seven.

Maybe I should ... like how to use the in-house "Search" function for starters ...

I think you'll find that most 45s are double-sided ... I guess today's folk are too lazy to do their own discovering , instead relying on the tedious repetitive posts regarding favourite this , best that ...
