Happy Feet

After the album release Alex , sometime in the future would it be possible to release the Johnny Bristol on a 45 ? , Deserves one in its own right , superb tune

Took the words right out of my mouth, hope it's a sell out as it's for a very worthy cause and a great version too.

After buying my first copy of The CODs, I'm A Good Guy , from Keith Minshull around 74 at WC. For a poultry £5. and he told me it was a wheel spin , I had no reason to disbelief him( a mear 17teen yr.old ) and then a better 2nd copy from him at at Stafford 83ish ( if my memory is still intact ) then from a purely Northern Soul / Early Soul angle this must have been imported by the bucket full as it's still only worth a £Tenner , and still a great tune , I also bought for the 3rd time a Mint copy 2 yrs ago just for the B side the only Mint copy I ever and still own , so the previous copies being say used somewhat ,surely puts it into the early mass imported section ,, but still a classic .

Still looking , project ongoing , had a few , but definitely require more , Thanks for looking Dave

I'm not going to spoil it for you but I believe all the footage also came from Claude's collection , has to be seen to be believed ,,,,,

Apologies if covered yrs. ago although it does have 2021 on the release date , THEY ALL CAME TO MONTREUX , currently on the BBC iPlayer channel 4 , A 3 part story of the extraordinary world- famous Jazz Festival, and it's beloved founder Claude Nobs . Watched all 3 episodes last night lots of artists that we all know and love , and wait until the part when they show Claude's record collection , well worth a viewing alone , let alone the Festival.

Ticket booked , love a bit of nostalgia, amazing really while it was running the Council and the notorious local constabulary only wanted to get rid of the WC , I'm surprised that the local tourist information board hasn't pushed the council into rebuilding the place , just a thought lol .

I understand where you're coming from but how many teams apart from Man U . can sustain a year in these Thursday night Euro comps. / Sunday/ Monday Premier League, fans being dragged around all over Europe from as early as the beginning of August , just to qualify , probably 2 days off work , it all smacks of Uefa greed with no consideration for the welfare of the clubs or the fans involved, probably both who have a limited budget . How many teams have gone on a downward slide following a Uefa League Thursday night campaign? I bet more than those who've stayed in the top half of the Premier League over the years , just my opinion as a Bolton fan , yes we have played once or twice in Europe and look how that panned out If Uefa had made it an old fashioned knock out tournament like it used to be maybe people would be more interested before the Final .

Well done West Ham , on tonight's victory in " The Inconvenient Thursday Night League " (moved to Wednesday night to suit TV programming ) , Fiorintina where nothing more than your typical ( don't read the next sentence if your Italian ) dive merchants , I think the hardest challenge all night on a Fiorintina player , was when they equalised and the guy who scored stayed on his feet when barged from behind in the celebration by one of his own team members, no rolling around or struggling to breath like he'd been tackled by Stuart Pierce lol. Seriously 14 games to get to a European final is going to take its toll , on any football team , plus the pressure of the Premier League , FA Cup , remember Kidderminster Harriers, so well done , you deserve it.

As I sit here with my hot chocolate before retiring to bed , is this the reason because of the blinkered djs who would rather spend 3 months wages on an overplayed classic , or the audience?

I was very lucky to have been at the Brighton Top Rank , when Tina made her comeback , brought the room to a standstill with her version of " Let's Stay Together" , ( unfortunately for Jean Carn ) but a night that I'm sure she and the audience went home feeling happy. She'd finally thrown off the shackles and loved every minute of it , and went on to enjoy a career so long lasting , she deserved ,, RIP TINA X.

Would be nice if they revisted some of the "Talcom Soul " CDs , be nice to see some of the rarer tracks on Stateside for the 1st time instead of tunes previously rereleased on earlier projects .

Kev , Have pmd you , Dave

Looking for any soul/ associated/club / label / stickers , for a project sticker bombing my VW Transporter/ camper , If you have any then please pm me , Thanks for looking, Dave Pm me , and I will pay P+P ,

" Soul Men " for that midweek pick me up feeling ,,,

"Cadillac Records " 2009 I think , the story of Leonard Chess a Jewish immigrant from Poland who sets up the Chess/ Checker labels , good movie I thought . "Soul Men " 2008 , Samuel L Jackson , Bernie Mac & Isaac Hayes, a good comedy based I believe on the story of Sam & Dave , still makes me laugh

If you think back , over the years of all the Motown tunes that where released , all over Europe and not in the UK , then it could have been anybody , who would never have realised that there was a Northern Soul Scene in the UK , so that counts out Dave Godin & Sharon .

Funny enough , found a a one sided copy on eBay for a tenner , didn't buy it , thought is was too cheap ,,,

iPlayer BBC4, Cheltenham Soul & Jazz Festival, now showing, opening song "Take Me To The River " by Ashton Jones , not a half bad version of the Al Green classic , worthy of a look if your looking for a pick me up.

Now even Dunelm are at it ," Darrell Banks , Our Love Is In The Pocket " , shopping in Kidderminster is becoming a tonic

Thank you for highlighting this documentary, watched it this week on iPlayer , shocking but just shows what President Nixon was all about ,scumbag ,,,

As most of us are getting on in years , how about " 3 before bed "

I Kid you not , Kidderminster Morrisons last night " Bobby Hebb- Love Love Love" and "James Barnett- Keep on Talking " in between the pop music , a pleasant surprise

Wigan Casino 50th Anniversary ( plenty of sockets available, but please bring your own charger) only joking 😃
