Happy Feet

A couple of slightly quickly taken shot's on my phone , of the most famous train the Flying Scotsman , on its way to Bridgnorth on the Severn Valley Railway , which passes by the top of our garden ( I should invest in a decent camera really ) great to see the whole line back open again.

Happy Birthday Lorraine , hope you had a good one x

Thank you , Thinksmart that's what I had in mind , The Stones must have been a good night & The Club Americana before that , things our parents kept quiet about dancing all night !!!

Hi Dobie5 , Have Pmd , Dave

Hi Robert , what year where these posters from ?

Hi Gilly, is that the copy that you see in the clip that Johnnie May wipes first on her jumper , & my like was for the autograph book lol .

Was out in Kidderminster yesterday and had to pop into Poundland, and came across these .200mm x .200mm x .200mm storage / filing , material folding absolutely perfect for vinyl storage boxes ? . If your shelving is .210mm spacing they've perfect for storing , labels or artists , hold approximately 75 records with all sorts of sleeves & poly covers . Only £1.25 each . I know it's Poundland & they've £1.25 , still good value .

Since Wednesday this topic has jumped in views 400 from 15.7k to 16.1k , which is what this topic is all about , getting the word out , so both the artists & collectors benefit , keep em coming

I do have a few signed 45s , I think this is the most subtle, mostly on sleeves fortunately.

Sleeve every time , writing on record labels , vinyl vandalism & shouldn't be encouraged, & definitely not dedicated to the current owner , be it sleeve or label ..

Definitely a very good new release & a pleasant change to the norm , slow , ballad , type new release that everybody was getting a little bit bored with , not sure about the Soul Notes comparison, but definitely similar to something ? , Thanks for the heads up Mal , mines ordered too .

You could listen to Chris Anderson , Dab of Soul , listeners choices "All Under A Tenner " posted in soul media , 8/7/25 last week .

The debut single from The Womack Sisters , If You Want Me , Daptone Dap 1114-A due around 22/8/25 , is worth a listen , can't find a way to share but I'm sure some one will . https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/product-category/vinyl-singles/vinyl-singles-soul-rb-jazz-house-7-singles/ This is as good a link as I can find .

Hi Urcal007, Have pmd , Dave.

Agree with Chalky & Rick , can not understand why they don't pick a country or countries, that all the players are comfortable with playing in the summer , after a very competitive league season , it's not about the football simple . This tournament could & should of been the best of the best but unfortunately FIFA ,,,,,

Yvonne Baker, I Need Love , ( but she sings You Need Love ) same backing as The Cooperettes, Shingaling .

We watched this a couple of weeks ago , highly recommended. The Six Triple Eight , it's an untold story ( personally my type of war films ) about how a black woman Battalion of 855 , joined the war effort to fix a 3 year backlog of undelivered mail . Faced with discrimination, racism , & war torn conditions, they sort over 17 million pieces of mail , ahead of schedule. Netflix . 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion , I think was their real name

Wow what a version , Barbara must have done really well at school in her Italian A Levels 😂, joking apart one of the best european versions by an American artist ever , thanks for posting Valentina .

Sorry Robert

Andy Bellwood RIP , Also released The Chicano EP, featuring Hello Stranger , Monica Rocha/ Malik Mano on his Last Bastion label , 5 years ago

Here's another https://youtu.be/VmQyhwSjaGE?si=oQcdC0EbJFlVpV-Y Reggie Milner

There was a boot lookalike in red vinyl a while back maybe 2/3 years ago https://ebay.us/m/JFP5u2 Here's one

This is now available very enjoyable me thinks https://youtu.be/NjRayuqv4oY?si=HvGPVWEKaZAeH Cheers Mike THEE SINNERS , IF WE TRY

I hope all you youngsters on here are taking all this in , hindsight is everything but advice & knowledge is king . I sold up 93ish when we purchased a new home , 300 years old & needed rewiring, a Kitchen extension & was working in the south of France , so 14 years later the house was finished, back working in the UK , & decided to go down the cd path which I still have 3k + but nothing beats vinyl ,,,, & now buying vinyl again , probably only 10 that I owned before big tunes but loads of new to me & comtempory new releases , do I wish I'd kept my collection back in 93ish , Yes , should have borrowed the money needed at the time but hindsight again . What Tim has written above should go down in Northern Soul folklore , as my daughter said when they've gone they're gone , You'll never get them back . My wife as asked me to value my current collection, by writing the current value inside the cardboard sleeve in pencil , as & when I play them when I'm in the Man cave, she's already valued the CDs , quite surprising what some go for . Neither of my children are interested in the vinyl , but I do believe they will be when I'm gone if only for the money . So this time I'm keeping them & the CDs . Good luck Mick , It's your choice whichever way you choose .

Thanks Phil J & Mike , I should have recorded it too rather than just a link , still not used to the new modem . Cheers
