I have this one - Dance, Dance, Dance - a compilation of Contempo releases. Among the tracks is JJ Barnes singing "Baby, please come back" and I got him to autograph the cassette insert when I saw him perform at Hinckley (in '83, I think) at what was my first 'proper' nighter.

A lovely tribute to a very talented lady. RIP Leola.

I wouldn't take Wikipedia as gospel. All that means is no one has updated the page yet.

For songs written in the time of the Vietnam war, pretty much yes, although the term refers to anyone who steals a guy’s girl while they’re away on military service. Brief but interesting background to the origins and development of the expression here... https://taskandpurpose.com/brief-history-jody-original-mr-steal-girl

RIP. From what I've read, Johnson made an appearance on Ready Steady Go in 1965. Is that correct? And if so, any footage?

Just for fun... About 10 years back, I was experimenting with stereoscopic 3D photography and worked out you could get the same effect with digital images and not just photos you'd taken. So using a scan I'd done of Linda's classic publicity photo, I made a 3D pic. Not much good if you don't have anaglyph glasses, but if you do, it works rather well!

Obvious one, and very bittersweet...

And I also saw... Oystercatchers Ducks in flight Frogs - singing a full-on frog chorus! And hares One thing I didn't get a photo of was a little grebe. It could sense me as soon as I approached the pool it was in (no hides anywhere in the woods, unfortunately) and would dive and swim away to safety. Next time, maybe.

It's the same with desktop computers and even laptops. Increasingly they're manufactured without a DVD/CD drive on the presumption we're all streaming music, TV and films.

Can’t help you there, Steve, as I’ve not been. Sorry.
