Happy Feet

Cheers Andy , seasons greetings and best wishes to you and your colleagues, A great first year with all the problems and hangovers from the pandemic etc , here's to a great 2023 🎉🎉🎉💥🎉🎉💥🎉🎉💥🎉🎉

So many to choose from, hit or not and even this one sold thousands , Maybe not in our neighbourhood , but plenty in sales boxes up and down the country, and what a tune !

Another Legend lost , so so sad, RIP JJ This one does it for me .

Have since seen it screened on other ITV channels , at least it's been tastefully done

Just heard the Al Kent mix on the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show , last tune , sounds earlier more funkier and not so disco etc , possibly 79 ? The recent mix still unsure

I thought no one cared anymore " Indeed they do "

This sounds very special, and exclusive, a great mixture of unissued and wanted tracks well done Ady and the Kent team , look forward to it .

Did anyone else just hear and see off course the latest Johnnie Walker Whiskey advert during the half time break on ITV , never saw that coming during a world cup in Quatar , Gloria Jones Tainted Love , whatever next ?

I've played it a few times , disco or soul not sure ,but the name of the band "House Bros " house music was popular 84ish maybe a little bit later , strange 1979 band name ? or am I just edging my bets it's possibly later

Another great tune from the Decisions, thanks to all concerned, and sounds like a great day out Kitch , arrived today can't wait to get it on the decks

Interesting take in this month's The Atlantic , https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2022/11/bruce-springsteen-only-the-strong-survive-soul-covers-album/672177/ . I think that should work if anyone's interested.

Hi have sent PM

Sounds to me he may have found a cheaper copy elsewhere etc etc ?

Surely the buyer should have done his / hers homework , A record that has been booted at least 3 times and visually on eBay can be seen and questions asked prior to purchase , the buyer is to blame . Good luck Soul16 , hope it goes the right way .

Hi Dave have pmd

Never I Hope , I can't remember anyway , used to run to Mr Ms to avoid it when played in the main room Lol

Just listened to the podcast no. 2 tracks 2 and 4 when will these be available? , I know you're probably too busy to answer Kev this weekend, no info on website yet .

When the main man says sold out , does that include to suppliers of good soul music this side of the channel , so if your quick there's got to be one or three available,,,, just a thought

So it's Jeff Wayne , Gordon's Gin advert , Covered by Human League, and sampled by Mr Weller , The Crazy World of Northern Soul eh

Just looked and it's on YouTube Gordon's Gin advert 1970 if you want to watch it ,

So bloody sad , known Steve since the very beginning of Mr Ms , his enthusiasm and presence will be sorely missed, condolences to Steve's family and friends RIP mate

Heartbreaking to watch , but Ben should have taken Stuart Cosgrove with him to fill in the gaps , just a thought , Cheers David for the heads up .

I feel like a bit of a light weight , only 2 & half years , but very late in purchasing my first Laptop ( about 3 months earlier ) never had the need for one , until I wanted to buy a record and my wife , who's Laptop I used to use occasionally, told me to #+#+ off and buy your own , so I did . Then came COVID and Lockdown and during Furlough I discovered SS , the rest is history as they say . Been a blast , great for info, great for purchasing records and I wish she'd told me to #+#+ off years ago .

Ralph , RIP mate, had the pleasure of Ralph's company away from the scene ,we both played darts at The Bishopsgate Club , on the Foleshill Rd in Coventry , he once was DJing whilst we played darts at a Bobby George charity evening and as I did my walk on to play Bobby he played my favourite Lou Pride I'm Comin Home , it didn't work 2-2 final leg I was waiting to go back for a 96 out shot after 12 darts and Bobby finished the 127 he needed to beat me , gutted but a great night , even a kind word from Bobby didn't make it any better . As mentioned previously Ralph , a perfect gent lovely company, some great stories of days gone by will be sorely missed , love to all his family ❤️❤️❤️

I guess it was an error , looking at discogs and checking the times printed on labels , Originally 2.51 mins. back in 1965 . Reissued in US, Canada , UK all 2.51 mins. in 73/74 Australia 2.54 mins /74 South Africa 2.49 mins /74 Germany 2.48 mins /74 None of the 6 x I think, UK reissues have a time printed on them only the promo's at 2.51 I've never seen or heard a copy from either Australia ,South Africa or Germany anybody ? To prove one way or the other a one off . Good luck
