Happy Feet

Not sure if mentioned on here before , but on the BBC iPlayer saw Clint Eastwood's " The Mule " , story about the oldest drug Mule in America , the other night , with " More Today Than Yesterday" in the soundtrack , would recommend it if you haven't seen it already .

It was about 5 am in the morning, but the cards where a regular event at many a venue especially Yate ,I seem to remember back Stage .

I remember back in the early 80s , playing cards in the back room at the Carlton in Hinckley, with Woody , Tommo, Martin & a few others and someone brought up the subject of what will be still be doing in our 60s , and the answer was sitting on our arses listening to Rare Soul music between the Bingo sessions, the dance floor at the time in the other room wasn't full by any means , so sitting chatting and having a good time has been a feature for years in good company.

I did think that Mick after I wrote it, a Senior moment it comes to us all eventually lol .

I'm not so sure , "I Can't Help Loving You" was originally covered up , Danny Wagner ? I think.long time ago maybe wrong . If "When We Get There" , was covered or recorded by any other artist would you still feel the same . This guy sang and wrote some of the most revered songs of all time including "MyWay" for Frank Sinatra , but this particular tune was ignored by the pop music world , isn't that what Northern Soul at the time was all about , not a rant just a different opinion.

About 83ish was scorned by Ian Clark for playing it, in my spot at the 100 Club , personally always liked it and it packed the floor , he told me I'd souled out lol .

Bobby Harden , new one to watch out for , scheduled for a May release ,

Hi Dave pmd , Dave

Hi Ben , Keep looking , I had a promo from Silverfox £15. VG just a month ago , plays superb more VG+ they're out there ,,,

I know I posted this one last night in the Penrose topic , but it is so worth a second mention , for those that may have missed it , and now available.

I have often wondered if "Mike" works for the Royal Mail , service is impeccable even during the strikes .

This is very very nice , and now available

Didn't see anything in the original posting of the Coventry Sports Centre and later the 6th form college in Canley , Coventry .Both venues , great DJs and music in the late 80s early 90s . And the Leicester 2001? Alnighters early 90s .Ran by Rudzi. Great article non the less

Just received the next 2 Kent selects Classic Example " Right On " City 083 & Warren Raye " It's The Feeling I Get " .City 086 in the post this morning . 2 suburb tunes and didn't expect them this early , nice surprise , cheers Ady and the Ace / Kent team .

Most of the shelving as long as not too much , can be altered , I recently altered the Kallax 1820 x1820 unit , removing the top 6 left compartments, plugging the holes with left over dowel pegs , in order to house my TV , you'd never know , and looks purpose bought . It was the mock ply version with grey shelving/ sides etc . Waited almost 18 months for it to come back into stock following lockdown, but worth the wait .

Within the realm of early Old soul/ prior to the Northern soul scene was this a first or second issue ?

That's not a bad looking shelf unit , with separate compartments, ideal for sorting , and perfect for a corner position.

Sorry Cruets, too much red wine and work, long week Sorry too much red wine and very long week at work, Cruets salt and pepper sets !

Now there's a topic away from the obvious collecting of rare/ soul music etc , apologies if done before , what do you collect . I have a collection of die cast minis , and my wife has a rather nice collection of cruets ( salt & pepper pots to you and me .) Personally thought last night's visit into the world of Northern Soul ok , but to be honest To Late , but if all the footage from past times is of W.C. and nothing earlier or later , then ,,,,

Hi have Pmd

What a great flip side , Wonderful . The A side not to bad either.

Wombat "I'm Getting On Life " still got a copy , played it numerous times, never sounds the same , probably a Cat's tune massive WC ,circa 74 , doesn't do it for me no matter how loud it's played nowadays.

Public demand ?

Yes but the comedown was s**t

Happy Birthday Ste , from the BVN Crew , hope all's well mate
