Ta for that.

Well, we should our collective eyes and ears out Garv, ay fella?

Just dropped on this on Youtube and wasn't aware of it, had a flick round and release, it seems, was July -anyone seen it?

You're not from St Helens are you?

I've just seen it for £50 - I used to run a small record shop in Culcheth that had boxes and boxes of US 7"s (Dave Rimmer'll remember the shop) but they were what I would have seen as mid tempo, raw 60's small label stuff (Yeah, I know ), not quite the rigfht sound for 1981 and to add insult to injury they were 10 for a quid.

It's funny, I remember winging about 6 or 7 of these over a field in about 1980 - I feel quite ill now.

I suppose it could be down to when you have the money available too.

Funny innit? For years owd bastads (I'd qualify!) have been moaning on "Music today PFHAAA!! not a patch on the stuff I was brought up on!" Then as soon as someone makes music in the same vein as the stuff they were brought up on.....

Didn't read it regularly since the early 90's but it was like an old dog, just nice having it there.

Ian spends his time on the EMS board presently.

I had no idea of this track and I loved it - until the 'Popp' break that is - !! I would definately have been dancefloor side when it got played though, but I think the break would have left me stood cold - courts out.

Thanks.

Alledgedly.

I remember a certain mega star dj offering me an EMI of 'When He's Not Around' for £150.00 at Rotherham - I may have been young but I wasn't stupid.

I bottomed out at £130, good job I did ay?

I was bidding on the last one I saw on Ebay about 3 month back, it went for £160 I think.

...my 'Keep It Modern' patch - many thanks mate, it's spot on.

I have the 12" but not a sound clip - fairly big for me at Bradford in the early 90's.

Here's the Devon, one on Ebay presently, didn't know it but I've copied and pasted the link- I don't have one of the Chantelle but it used to work a Modern dancefloor back in the day. https://media.putfile.com/DEVON-RUSSELL-MAK...-BELIEVE-IN-YOU

Used to at Bradford, and still, play a UK version by 'Chantelle'.

Lovely track-listing. Did you know Viola's 'Littel Girl' was about prostitution? Puts a whole new slant on the song.

I went to watch Slave in Glasgow in the early 80's and was reliably informed that Larry was their bass player for that tour - got to meet 'em but didn't get chance to speak directly to him to see if was true or not.

Great stuff, cheers.

Thick old thing, I used to salivate at what was in it.
