We went to see it a few weeks ago and I enjoyed it. Of course not as good as seeing the actual Temps but as a West End show it ticked the boxes. More than anything it concentrated on the tragedies that surrounded The Temps eg David Ruffin’s drug addiction etc. and their success in the backdrop. You also have to bear in mind it moves along at a fair pace as crammed in a lot of years history into a couple of hours. Of course it mostly concentrates on the hits but surprisingly included I Want a Love I Can See which I was really pleased about as it’s one of my fav Temps tracks.

Sometimes I can’t remember what happened 10 mins ago 😂

Paul the owner was an older guy and the business was running since 40s or 50s as my parents use to buy records from his stalls in Whitechapel and Brick Lane markets. Maybe the guy you remember was coincidentally called Paul. His son David also worked in the Cambridge Heath Road shop and carried on running it when Paul passed away. When the shop lease eventually ran out David carried on selling all the old stock online. Bethnal Green tube station never had a lift but had/has escalators, must be fog of time although Finsbury Park does have a lift 😉

That’s the Cambridge Heath Road shop, spent a great deal of my teens in there 👍🏼 Was still going until shutdown in the early 2000s

23rd May 2003 but there was loads on here way before me

You know you could be right, found this on Funky16corners and it says about his keyboard skills with groups with various aliases https://funky16corners.com/?p=6359

The delta number is 59957 so should be later part of 1965 start 1966 I think.

Read this was released 1966 which would tie up with Yesterday being on the flip 😁

Oh didn’t realise that. Can imagine this being played on a big system, would think would go down well.

😂

Yes a bit Ramsey Lewis’ish, I really like it. The flip is awful though 😁
