Gladys Knight-Here are The Pieces of My Broken Heart Gladys again-If you Ever get your hands on Love, Marvin-Lucky Lucky Me Brenda Holloway- Crying time ATB Tony

Had a promotional lap top shoulder bag given at one of the conferences-carries half a dozen or so quite comfortably. If you can live with promoting an industrial cleaner that is Tony

I know the tackle was good back then, but.. Brilliant??? You're having a laff!! Been discussed on here before, and Mr. Dewhirst gave the best description I have ever heard " The Dunkirk of the amphet generation" Oh, and I certainly don't remember The Impressions being on ATB Tony

Listened-didn't look Looked-Now I know Tony

Lou rawls is just cool as F*ck. but I have say I really like that Clara Ward - is it on Verve, hard to find ,, what ?? ATB Tony

Nip to the loo?? Chuff me, some of 'em gave you time to nip for a Curry. Having said that,was rather fond of some of 'em T-connection for example, 4 minutes or so of percussion before it even got going. Now that I am a little older though, attention span has shortened to where even 2.30 is a strain ATB tony

Now known as Professor Andrew Wilson no less-there has been the odd mention of his book on here. Tony

Coz, "Characters" doesn't quite do 'em justice mate... Tony

Hi Pete although the documentary was on the beeb I'm pretty sure that the original footage came from Granada, who did a few "blues" specials in that period, probably overseen by Johnny Hamp ( of Comedians Fame) who seemed to lead the way with that sort of thing. One of the first Beatles TV appearances, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters etc.-bit out of the ordinary for a "parochial" TV company. And yes -it probably was by invitation only-Left Wing Cafe or Brasenose Street Wheel types? Tony

Can't get the youtube link at work-presume it's the Sister Rosetta tharp do. So, no- I'm a bit young But saw the documentary on the Beeb ( I think) which showed the footage from that concert -very early 60's if memory serves. ATB tony

Re the dragonette T Shirts & Vests mentioned earlier There's the vest There's the Pinball Machine the design was taken from-which was ( I'm almost sure) inspired by a 50's comedy record St. George and The Dragonette-spoofing Dragnet.-Just the Facts Ma'am. Anyway, can't see them being revived any time soon Tony

But the B side He who picks a Rose-- still the best version Tony

Yep, now I think about it there was one on Fennel Street, same side as Pips( or if you're of a certain vintage Nice N Easy/Time & Place). I think though that was opened toward back end '70s or early '80s, and I think i'm right in saying it was either a branch of Rare Records or they moved there from John Dalton Street. Also Robinsons on Blackfriars Bridge, ATB Tony

It's on Sophisticated Soul LP, not sure if it's the version in question though. Tony
