  1. A Chattering of Choughs. Photographed at Treyarnon Bay Cornwall.
  2. Where did that Velvelettes test press come from anyone know? I had it, or one identical, in about 1970. Pretty sure that came out of the Cavern club. Possibly Bob Woolmer, got a few things from him. Got rid of it the same year, but I don't know where!
  3. An absolute Monster at the Torch and now largely forgotten. To me it just explodes excitement. Lots of "northern" very little "soul".
  4. On my way to enjoy my other passion. Bodyboarding at a secret Cornish cove.
  5. Started my NS journey in 1969, built up a sizeable collection then sold it all up. To JM as it happens! Still collecting tracks but now in digital format. But for me the biggest change has been the internet. Any song is just a click away. A far cry from travelling the length of the country to hear a track just once. I enjoy JMs descriptions and usually there is a track new to me or a "b" side I forgot. It's all part of spreading the faith. Dave Banks
  6. Still got my Dunlop green flashes. But how do you dance in them??🤣
  7. Was Eddies my name really played as early as 1973? Suppose it must have if it's in the ad. Could have sworn it was much later. But then my memory like lots on here is not quite as good!
  8. Back in the day (late 60's) at our local youth club we used to do a type of line dance to "Harlem shuffle" ; we thought it was the Harlem shuffle!! Then we did the "Temptation Walk" to the Jackie Lee song, just like the Temps (well nearly). Then someone came back from the Wheel and showed us the true way and our lives changed forever and we never danced in line or with anyone else again.,
  9. If you contact me with an address I will post it to you. No charge. Maybe if you feel able make a donation to a charity. I would have probably donated it to our local air ambulance shop. Dave Banks
  10. Just found this cassette at the back of the cupboard.
  11. From "the Yanks" post on another thread. It's also listed in Manships guide. Others will know more but I think its a fairly common record. Dave Banks
  12. Have been enjoying his version of the Volcanoes Storm Warning on YouTube lately. Filmed at "Daryl's House" and has a nice symmetry as Daryl Hall was at Arctic Records at the time the original was recorded. Seek it out you will not be disappointed. Dave Banks
  13. According to his twitter feed Rose Battistes Hit and Run is one of his favourite tracks. Who knew? My respect for this man has increased enourmously !! Dave Banks
  14. I enjoyed readings Tims story of the Mello Souls discovery and his "take" on it. As one of the old school who started at the Mardi Gras/Torch I have to say I really love the MS. I have not heard it at a nighter but only at home via the net. I think it still sounds magical and so northern. It is certainly in my top ten. Tim is right in that it probably wouldn't have stuck around much if found in the heyday of the 70's, but as a "new" sound found later it packs such a punch. And without a nighter experience it still sounds magical played loud on headphones or in the car. Dave Banks
  15. That version of Stormy is so good, all the more so as Supremes versions of songs tend to be awful. Normally I can't get on with Diana Ross' voice but on this she seems to sing in her normal range and hits the spot. One of my favourites that really surprised me.
