The Unforgettables 45 is also known as Bags & Beans. Looks like the band had a name change as 'Unforgettables' stamped on after release. Anyways, a very rare Texan 45.

pm'd you.

A very good show with a high Soul content. Feels like a more relaxed at home I.L.

Next 10 year anniversary.

Very good. When's the next one?

Now that's what I call a playlist!

As far as the titles are concerned still got some blanks, although I will put up the full track list before Xmas. Here's the download link for anyone that fancies it? https://we.tl/VqeW8gG9HT It's only valid until Monday though! Cheers, Steve

That's what I thought. Hadn't played it in ages. Magnificent tune.

YES!! I knew you'd get it. Well done.

No Moments either mate.

Correct on two. No Whatnauts though.

Reissue mate. Not originally issued on a 45. Sent you the link. Cheers Steve.

Funny enough it is mate. Sending you the link.

LP tracks Vol 2 - 35 tracks - over two hours of blissful non 45 tunes. I've been meaning to do pt 2 of the LP only tracks for ages and left it so long I had enough for at least two mixes, so why not have an extra long mix this time - at just over two hours this is a mighty large platter feast. So dig in and enjoy some of the greatest tunes never originally released as singles. Name any track and (whether right or wrong) get a free download link (you'll need 2 CD's this time!) or just message me for the link https://www.mixcloud.com/albertfish/mister-fish-presents-lp-tracks-vol-2/ A very merry Christmas and New Year to you all. Steve
