Happy Feet

I know it's an awful long time ago ,to revisit this topic , but just read a very moving and interesting topic on the BBC news website regarding Rebecca Ferguson, about the mismanagement, bullying, and of course X factor and what she's had to put up with until now , I always thought she was a great talent and for whatever reason was probably held back , now we know why ( check out todays BBCs website for details ) for me this is up there and should have had a 45 release , what a talent and I hope she can break away from the shackles .

No one as yet mentioned, Eddie Spencer, if this is love , Jackie Lee , Darkest Days , Flowers , For Real . The list is endless , thankfully

Originally it was best intro , and then I amongst others suggested 3 or more , so likes don't count lol

Is anyone doing the old poll chart , isn't that 3 now for Tony Clarke , Landslide. ?

Someone has kindly reminded me of the other version, is was by "Copper n' Brass " for me the less soulful version but it too got spins , with a much less run in , I can see why it would've been the preferred version .

I am pretty sure if my memory is still 90% working , It was a Blackpool Mecca spin , but possibly a reduced intro , maybe someone else knows better , sounds like a Colin Curtis sound to me

If it's perhaps possible to add a 3 & half ? Chicago, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is ,,,

Yvonne Baker , You didn't Say A Word Lou Pride I'm Coming Home In The Morn' un Darrell Banks , Open The Door To Your Heart . But Tony Clarke Landslide,, Dave beat me to it , a very close 2nd

Someone did say many years ago , there seemed to be a bit of Zoo going on back in the 60s regarding Band names , it appears the same can be said for labels too !

Blue Elephant, reggae based label

Mylestones on Hawksound. Fatfish .

Oh my , what bloody awful news RIP Andy and deepest condolences to all his family & Friends 🙏

Lots of videos on YouTube of all his early stuff , including sessions at the BBC from back in 2017 , my favourite "We Fell Out Of Love " proper stomper . But to be honest I don't think he's made a bad one yet .

Yes , early 80s me and my mate was asked to empty a well known record shop in Brighton, called Royce's Radio , occasionally there would be something worthy , placed in a cellphone bag stuck to the inside of the window , if you wanted it you had to knock on the door and if you where lucky , Mr Royce would answer and sell it to you (fortunately it didn't face the sun ) and he wouldn't let you in to check or search for more . Following his passing , we where asked by his widow to go through the stock and clear out the unwanted into a skip. 3 skips later and 200 copies of every no 1 since the charts began , and out of date radio valves etc the only record of any use we found was a copy of The Flamingoes , Boogaloo Party and a first issue on 78 of Jailhouse Rock by Elvis cracked , and a completely buried upright piano under all the tat . The only good thing that came out of the experience was that every no 1 , upto then went into the skip probably to landfill , when you think about it , in them days to get to no.1 you had to sell a lot of records, so it was really just scratching the surface , but we left feeling pretty crap because we never found anything apart from The Flamingoes, anything worth saving from the tip .😞😂

" Give Me Another Day " yet to be released as a 45 ? but what a bloody great album this is , or just wait for the whole album on a 45 release, if you can !

There are currently at least 6 copies listed unofficial, from £30+ to £70+ on discogs & 1 real one at £900 , the one that was for sale on eBay was definitely an unofficial, but I thought these where banned on discogs , but definitely not on eBay , don't you think it's about time that eBay had some kind of Quality Control , wether an employee or feedback , that insisted on pointing out to the poor f*"ch*rs who obviously don't know or realize , that this particular site is full of bootlegs , reissues etc so check before you bid . Or is eBay hoping that nobody knows the difference so they get more from the sale and is technically aiding and abetting fraud . I have doubts on his Jimmey ( soul ) Clark too , currently over £100. ?

Wow , that's some list , is he still recording?

Same tune , can only imagine they changed the title as it had been done before , as "Fever" by Peggy Lee and numerous other artists , but definitely not the same tune in any way , but definitely the tune that you posted ,

Hi Steven Have pmd Cheers Dave

So it is , odd that they changed the title on release ? When I play it later I'll check if same version too , odds are it is the same , cheers

Thanks for the upload but although it has fever in the title it's not this one , the one I found is just called , Fever , strange I know but even discogs didn't have it listed until I did a full research , but still couldn't find an upload . The one I found is , Joe Anderson , Fever , Buddah , BDA 454 , 1975 , same both sides / stereo / mono, It's only listed at about 3$ , but worth every dime , it was in a sleeve with Symarip, Skinhead Moonstomp A side funnely enough , and was sat in a box listed S , Decently not shite .
