James Bell..etc. The Love of My Girl
I was in a conversation when JB and The Hightlighters Band cropped up, and i mentioned i'd once heard TLOMG played before at least 1972/74. But was poo-pooed. So i was probably wrong, or maybe it was a one-off? (it being the flip) So i wondered...at which venue was "The Love of My Girl" played most and when? Or doesn't it get out much? maybe someone at Prestatyn 2004 weekender may know- i understand JB was on the bill. cheers

Selling my collection help wanted.
i do the similar thing as bbrich. i use (un tech i know) access db with A&R, lable, pics, writers, etc. One day i'll migrate it to SQL or some such thing and maybe 'webize it'. Anyhow, should i ever decide to sell, i'd most likely give the db away with the sale of my records.

UK Pirate Radio Stns -- 1960's
Beggin- Timebox My copy has an ex-Radio Caroline DJ (Paul Rusling) signature scribbled on it- to let shipmates know who's copy it was. I guess it diminishes it's value...but a little piece of Pirate Radio history nontheless.

no listing fees or no commission sales service
hi Mike why do you think this hasn't quite 'taken-off' (maybe yet?). For me, it would be a trusted way to buy (and maybe sell) from SS members. Not having looked to deep...i guess it's just PayPal F&F between adverstiser and buyer, or other such transaction-is it? seems like a good idea to me-am i missing something.

Valerie Simpson thread
another 'sort of wierd one'- and not my favourite, but worth a mention...maybe. Amy Winehouse's 2007 CD Back to Black for the single "Tears Dry on Their Own". The track is based on a sample of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's 1967 Motown hit "Ain't No Mountain High Enough".

I do know the BPI I can now dance to, is also now proportionate to my BMI. Let’s just say at 140 bpm i have to sit down ½ way through.

The Guardian's take on a NS top 10
It's not his opinion I object to-however I'll informed it may be. Worse for me...is the "skew" from responses on the guardian site (someone has already mentioned)
