Happy Feet

Great title too

I only mentioned it as a teaser, due to its date of release and according to comments made over the years " Funky edged banger with a tinge of Jazz " not just a Northern Classic sorry 😐

Hi Rod, Have Pmd. Dave

Thanks Peter I'm doing fine , 67 got over the worse ,back at work loving life etc , What about the Instrumental version , definitely a modern take lol .

Personally I always thought that " modern soul" was just as inclusive as the traditional Northern Soul tunes and if mixed in to a set , as did RS , a second room would never have been necessary, unless overcrowding was the problem , Ila Vann , You Made Me This Way. Carstairs, It Really Hurts Me Girl. Dooley Silverspoon , Game Players. Fifth Amendment, I Got You where I Want You . Mandrill , Too Late . So many as mentioned earlier, and a very important topic , perhaps not the big money tunes but all great tunes at their introduction, and have obviously helped to keep this wonderful music genre moving on to 2024 and beyond .

1 in 1 out 2 to go , was hoping for a Germany V England final , and we win on their turf that would've been worth a watch , now probably Spain , come on England,,

Not at all Peter everyone's entitled to their opinion, it was just a teaser ,,, like The Montclair's, Hey you , personally prefer " Hung Up On Your Love " have them both and one was played on its release , and sold in bucket fulls and definitely should be in a Top 500 modern list . Glad to see you up & running by the way , stay strong mate

One that was released in 1970 , but you'd never believe it and sounds like an old soul classic , Lou Pride , I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un, Suemi , 1st played 74ish , can it be considered in the top 500 modern soul list ?

Great game though , could have gone either way well done Spain , but why did the Germans bring on Muller legs have gone unless they where playing for penalties?

Me too

Lol, A mate of mine early 80s made a large wall in his lounge, into his record library come music room , he stacked bricks with scaffold boards , floor level up 1st 2 shelves for albums then 45s . It looked quite impressive and wasn't permanent so could be altered to suit ,not bad for an history teacher with limited DIY skills .

Not forgetting the right kind of mood lighting , made this one a few years back , it measures 50cm. x 15cm. x 10cm. using an under cabinet neon tube light from BnQ , it's one of the pre made light fittings including plug so no fears of overheating when the stompers come out 😆

I recently upgraded from one to two decks , small mixer etc check out Juno media 2 x reloops mk 11 direct drive decks plus Citronic mixer ask for best price ( it tells you to) prior to ordering , £203 each deck & £72.for mixer all in free postage via DHL , fortunately able to make my own cabinets and top to house everthing , at a level , low enough to sit in my comfy all leather John Lewis recliner and footstool , that I treated myself to via ebay £50. ( was over £500. new ) All my records are shelved in front above or under the decks , back & side wall , so I can just spin and reach out without having to move too much , beers in the chiller box sorted

Was this a reaction to England's p*ss poor performance for 93+ minutes , to try and distract us poor buggers , looks to me the kinda thing Rishi would try to put the blame on the Labour party 😂😂😂

Just came across these cabinet makers on line bespoke and made to measure etc , https://www.fletcherandmils.com/collections/bookcases-toy-boxes-and-storage-units/products/cube-storage-unit

Recently on the BBC iPlayer, they had the usual BBC style coverage of Gladys Knight with & without The Pips , but the one that stands out for all the wrong reasons , was the one in Hyde park , so many covers and ballads , playing to the crowd obviously. Still touring in 2024 , with all the ups & downs she's had to put up with over the last few years , her son etc , perhaps Gospel is an escape , God works in mysterious ways , ( not for me yet )

That's amazing , thank you

Hi Soul- slider , no but now I have , so far I've found 20 versions Inc .Kenny Lynch, Johnny Mathis , Will Downing , George Benson , The Lettermen , The Vanguards, Lamont Johnson, Righteous Brothers, Isaac Hayes , Carole King , Brian Poole , the previous plus Berry Lipman & His Orchestra , with Daze Of The Weak , 21 versions so far , there has to be more , just for the record Donny Osmond & Mickie Dolenz where the popstars .

Should have done more research I'm now upto at least 10 cover versions , Ray Charles , Michael McDonald, Billy Joel , lots of famous Pop stars , and even a CW instrumental version , The Temptations, is a great version can't remember if it got a mention in the earlier topic , Motown album tracks worthy of a 45 , maybe yet to be ? via our favourite Spanish label of the moment ( yes it did get a mention cheers Wilxy )

Pretty sure no 45 release by The Temps , was included on their "Cloudnine " album released in 69 , but sounds much earlier recording . Was of course 1st released by Freddie Scott in 63 , then at least 5 cover versions .

It seems that this has been around a while but available now on a 45 release, there has been a whole bunch of releases on I.M.G. recently mostly Low rider , but this one's a bit of a mover .

That has to be the worst performance in a major tournament by any England team ever , is it possible that a Manager can be replaced and bring in one that knows how to get the best out of his players during a tournament, all these players are top quality and we are meant to be one of the favourites , B*llsh*t .

Ever thought I know that tune ,

A few years back , bought a copy of a popular and a brand new 45 from the States , when I took it out of its sleeve for the 1st time and put it onto the decks , after 2 or 3 revolutions it was pretty obvious it was knackered and immediately threw the arm and stylus into the air and skated across the vinyl , tried a record sleeve underneath the record and it played but not all the way . So I experimented by cutting a perfectly cylindrical spacer to match the warp / dish using the type of very thin foam packing used in most household products and hey presto , sometimes maybe one or two required , but it worked , kinda like a 6 inch ring of foam about 1 inch wide , 1/16th or 1/8 th of an inch thick , or two if needed , because the centre of the record is flat and the vinyl is warped or dished packing is only required from the middle to outer edge of the record , so a paper sleeve which is the same thickness throughout scientifically cant work , I will try and post one in action , won't cost you a penny , and fits perfectly with any warped or dished record in its sleeve ready when needed .

I just got back from shopping & my wife told me the whole country is flooding , I asked why , and she said " Because everyone's p*ss*ng them selves laughing at last nights Scotland result , boom boom .
