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

Used to have one of these in the good old days- Can't remember how effective it was, probably not very. Trawling ebay came acoss UFO LP cleaner-looks interesting, anybody else seen, bought ?? Tony

I don't know, but I would assume The Players. Tony

Only ever had it on the Nolan Lp-which unfortunately got nicked Tony

Hi Andy- you forgot Hime & Addison, across the road from Rare Records, was also one, name slips me, on Stevenson Square that had a few bits. Also a stall on Salford Market where I "liberated" a copy Of Betty Swann-used to have the usual box of imports, and Spin City on Cross Lane, Salford always had Motown Lps in the window--Chris Clark, Tammi Terrell, Fantastic Four are the standouts I can remember. ATB Tony

Best would be Cliff Nobles-My Love is Getting Stronger, thinking it might have been a take on Jason Knight. Well, I was young........ Worst (of many) picked up one on a lovely R&W Stateside Demo by The Dillards, could have been Moses & Joshua It wasn't T

Yes, like Joan said, why would you buy something you don't like ?? And, once again echoing Joan, so many I do like I can't afford.. Ah well-So much soul, So little Time ATB Tony

No, I don't think I would be .. T

Yeah, and their "you Can't Dress Up A Broken Heart" is even more so. Tony

I guess it's also an advantage if you're working for the No.1 Self sorry Soul promotion Company in the World T

Blimey, that was quick...

Just a quickie.. Was Free For All-ever booted on a White Sout Demo?? Thanks Tony

Well, they were less Politically Correct times than these-so they were probably thinking "Marsha Hunt---Whho Hoo!!" Tony

More like no-fi Tony

Not seen Paul Anka- Can't Help Loving You- yet.. had to be one THE biggest tunes around early 70's. Tony

Jimmy Conwell pressing of To Much is pretty crap too. Tony

Haven't heard that-is it a real 'un or a knocked up thing i.e. one of Simon S*ussan specials ? In fairness- the backing track to The Invitations is quite meaty, and I wouldn't mind hearing that. ATB Tony

The Invitations or wigans ovation,?? hmmm let's see. One's a Soul Group-the other isn't ( and never will be) T

Which version are talking about Stevie?? Wigans Ovation is a poor cash in piece of pop crap. The Invitations-while not to everybodys taste nowadays, was a Very Big record in the early 70's. As for the Beach Girls, well, let's leave that one alone Tony
