But it was never used as a label in it's own right in the States , just everywhere else ...

No mystery ... there was "Tamla" and there was "Motown" as well as numerous other labels ...

Evidence of this , a label scan maybe ... ? It was used in virtually every country worldwide apart from in the States that I was aware of ...

I'd like a Double Whopper with Cheese and a Pepsi please ...

Each to their own I guess Alison. I stick with my original opinion , I guess some of us aren't as easily blinded as others by today's emphasis on dyed hair , perfect teeth and CGI as sleight of hand used to try and disguise a badly written , badly acted rehash of the original movie , that even regurgitates the cheesy one liners that were dotted through the first one and fun one time. Just wringing every last drop of cash out of an idea to line TC's pockets is not something I'm impressed with hence why I'd never pay to see it . "Emperor's New Clothes" and all that.

"It's" actually if you want to be pedantic ...

Remember the CD Box set well , it was bloody expensive as it was my first ever CD purchase and I had to buy a CD player to go with it ...

Was waiting for the Spitfire to appear over the trees ( could hear his Merlin growling from miles away ) when this fella kinda distracted me ... Knocked up a quick animation in Moviemaker of the 20 odd frames.

Just knocked up a quick animation from the 28 frames I caught as he turned for home overhead ... Generally they just fly by straight and level so the timing was a tad lucky today ... P.S The thumbnail's a shot I snatched earlier , unfortunately he wasn't as close this afternoon ...

Interesting article on the BBC news site this morning . https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-62426472

"Top Gun : Maverick" Please don't waste any of your hard-earned on going to see or streaming this ... It's truly dreadful ... 🤬 If you still feel the need to endure it then watch it online on a free site ... I won't go all Mark Kermode on it , just don't say you weren't warned ...

Thread already running on this subject ...

Here are a few shots I took of the two Lancasters together in the sky from Little Gransden Airshow back in August 2014 ...

Am I missing something ... ? That's a Hercules. You'd need a slightly longer focal length to see two Lancasters in the air as there are only two flying examples in the world and "Vera" is in Hamilton , Ontario ... she and our own BBMF Lanc haven't been in the air together since 2014.

LP only ... well it was originally ... loads on Discogs ... https://www.discogs.com/release/3431786-Various-From-The-Vaults 'Twas the first tune I ever heard at an all-nighter at the Wirrina in '81 so fond memories of a great song ...

According to Popsike , something slightly north of the £26 it made six years ago ...

Just read of the passing of Lt. Uhura aged 89 ... Thought I'd share the news here as she had a single that attracted some interest on the soul scene. https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/nichelle-nichols-dead-star-trek-the-original-series-1235330159/

Think there's 5 or 6 Karl , the one John's got up at the moment is definitely one of the weaker takes ...

Well I've seen some rather questionable descriptions on John's site in the past but the way he's bigging-up the weak Session Two recording is the best yet. It sits at £2800+ at present and lawd knows where it'll end , there must be some desperate folk out there , the issue's 'only' about £1600-2000 now surely. Might start thinking about letting my Session One Take One 8" acetate go at this rate , it's a much better ballsier cut ... I think it's also time I donated my Mum's hearing aids to YKW ... https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/hayes-cotton-black-wings-has-my-angel-the-miles-grayson-2nd-session-audio-disc-acetate.html https://soundcloud.com/woodbutcher-2/hayes-cotton-black-wings-has-my-angel-session1-take-1

Watched it last night ... Still available on BBC iPlayer for another 27 days ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0019n5y/the-mule

Male version of Barbara Acklin.

No need for Netflix , plenty of free sites out there with a better choice of viewing matter ...

No problem whatsoever , I just find it strange that folk get surprised when they hear their precious tunes outside of the setting they usually hear then in , as if they have some sort of exclusive hold over the records/tunes like some kind of secret caretakers ...

Who'd have thunk it eh , american tv producers using american soul tunes in their programmes , how very dare they ...
