  1. I seem to remember there was a Phillipe on here who was knowledgeable of French music scenes. To be honest, over the years of half-hardheartedly selling it, most interest was from France 'buyers' all of which were mal-au-cul
  2. Searching for Sugar Man (2012) Category: Film Sky Arts Freeview:11Sky:820Virgin:165BT:349 Wed 27 Apr 9:00pm-10:40pm (1 hour 40 minutes) Documentary following two fans in search of their musical idol. American singer Sixto Rodriguez enjoyed a brief recording career in the 1970s before fading into obscurity. However, his politically conscious music became incredibly popular in South Africa. Bizarre stories of his death had circulated over the years, but two devotees plan to find out what really became of him follower a bit later by: Muscle Shoals (2013) Category: Film Sky Arts Freeview:11Sky:820Virgin:165BT:349 Wed 27 Apr 11:40pm-1:55am (2 hours 15 minutes) A look inside the acclaimed music hub, located alongside the Tennessee River. The studio's output has helped to create some of the most important and resonant songs of all time. Founder Rick Hall overcame poverty and tragedy and brought black and white musicians together in Alabama's cauldron of racial hostility to create music for the generations. Contributors include Greg Allman, Clarence Carter, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Keith Richards and Percy Sledge
  3. Only asking because when trying to sell 'boogie' titles is like pulling teeth! Anyone care to value Jerry Hoyle - Quit Running - ENL Records 12" for me?
  4. just listened to 'acetate' version; much more punchy version, particularly the lead guitar. No strings, but brass instead.
  5. Robkk on here will know the score
  6. I've only got it on the album from 1979, somewhere. It may have been 're-released' on a 7" in the interim. http://www.dftmc.info/index.html What More Could A Boy Ask For (Harvey Fuqua-John Bristol) published Jobete 02-May-66 The Spinners; recorded Hitsville, completed 15-Feb-66 ; produced by Harvey Fuqua, Johnny Bristol Jan-79; LP (M): Natural Resources NR-4014 From The Vaults 18-Aug-97; CD (M): Debutante 530 818 2 This Is Northern Soul! [UK] 02-May-05; CD (M): Motown 067 024 2 This Is Northern Soul! The Motown Sound Volume 1 [UK] 25-Jun-12; CD (M): Kent CDTOP 371 Truly Yours ... Their First Motown Album With Bonus Tracks [UK] there is an alternative take too, ? studio acetate, out there
  7. Any 'boogie' experts on here? Or anyone point me to one / forums etc. TIA
  8. swings & roundabouts isn't? if the true value of the record is £1000 but when you're asked at the PO its value is stated to be £10, the postage will be less, but coverage for loss / damage will be for the lower value. Like all 'insurance' if something goes wrong, you might not get near to 100% compensation. If a buyer is paying top dollar for a record they've spent years tracking down, the import duty might not be problem in the grand scheme of things, I'd consult the buyer.
  9. They must have existed at some time, and so I was just wondering if anyone has seen the records from pressing plants of what records they manufactured and in particular, the numbers made, standard run count etc.
  10. If your mate goes into any PO, he can get the leaflet 'Our prices' - your handy guide to our UK and international parcel and letter service prices. (April 22). Plus the appropriate custom forms. When checking the prices online you can read about each service 'more details' there are subtle deference between Royal Mail International Tracked More details Royal Mail International Signed More details to Australia, weight up to 500g, value £100

  13. How bizarre, like you, aged 27 i went out on a 'randy' evening in Blackpool, with a 39 year old woman, Veronica "Randy" Crawford. True story!
  14. (It maybe on YouTube somewhere) I've seen video footage where just the DJ's all have a dance together at the Cleethorpes' 60's weekenders.
  15. I'm a bit lost here: it's not a 'carver'? it's a proper pressed up record, 1 of several? it's is or isn't licensed reissue through Jamie/Guyden Dist Co? it's totally 'moody' done for profit? it was sent anonymously to JM for auction? it's a sweet soul modern day leaked-out copy for mischief, remember the Four Vandals debacle?
  16. All we can hope for John, as penitence for his faux pa , a stale (Melton Mowbray) pork pie catches him in the eye.
  17. Perhaps it was supposed to be post a week today? The sound file was pristine, almost as if it was taken off a CD (tracks 15 & 13)
  18. I won’t comment as obviously everyone’s tastes are different, but you canhave a look here - https://www.imdb.com/ X (2022) Death On The Nile (2022) Licorice Pizza (2021) House of Gucci (2021) Miracle in Motor City (2021) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) Lapwing (2021) Watch these instead: Old Henry (2021) western Even Mice Belong in Heaven (2021) animated Petite Maman (2021) French, but watch even if you don't like subtitle
  19. Dog (2022) Two former Army Rangers are paired against their will on the road trip of a lifetime. Briggs (Channing Tatum) and Lulu (a Belgian Malinois) race down the Pacific Coast to get to a fellow soldier's funeral on time. Exactly what you’d expect, but better. Predictable, yes, but good fun 7/10 Moon Crash (2022) A global steel company is working with an aerospace partner to extract lunar material. When a drilling accident causes a giant piece of the moon to break off, it goes on a collision course with Earth. So bad it’s …….bad. They must have nearly spent $10 on production However, you might watch it all out of disbelief. 2/10 (not the Moon Fall film also released this year too) A Violent Man (2022) Steve Mackleson is a dangerous prisoner, incarcerated for double murder in a maximum security prison. We follow, as he navigates his struggle against redemption the system and his inner turmoil, when a young black gang member becomes his unlikely new cell mate and a daughter he has never met, finally requests to meet her estranged father. Face to face. I think it was made in 2020, but covid etc. I thought it was gonna be more ‘Foot-Soldier’ dross, but wasn't too bad. 6/10 The King’s Daughter King Louis XIV's quest for immortality leads him to capture and steal a mermaid's life force, a move that is further complicated by his illegitimate daughter's discovery of the creature. Made in 2014, but only just released. I couldn’t make head nor tail of it 4/10 Ali & Ava. ALI and AVA, both lonely for different reasons, meet and sparks fly. Over a lunar month a deep connection begins to grow, despite the legacy of AVA's past relationship, and ALI's emotional turmoil at the breakdown of his marriage. Loved it 9/10 Shane (2022) This will present an intimate portrayal of Warne, the retired Australian cricketer and larger-than-life character whose reputation on and off the green pitch saw his fame transcend cricket. More of a documentary, made early this year. Brash, arrogant, troubled genius etc, but when you’re that good. Non-cricket followers might find it interesting too. RIP Shane.
  20. Great stuff, but then again have you ever seen any crap scenes with Steve Graham in them? 9/10
  21. a lot more than i would have thought, even if only half are relevant https://secondhandsongs.com/performance/874655/versions#nav-entity
  22. I sometimes listen the doo wop cafe, the degree of 'soulfulness' depend on the DJ http://www.doowopcafe.org/
  23. I've substituted my ISP name with ABCDEF, if your email provider is a small one, you may be effected too: We are contacting you today due to an unforeseen issue that has arisen with sending emails to Gmail from the ABCDEF email domain. After thoroughly investigating the issue, we have come to the unfortunate realisation this is not something that we can assist with, as this is an issue with Google servers and their programming. Google have recently introduced a new layer in their spam security to ensure they can identify genuine email senders to some of their servers. This new layer requires domain owners, such as ABCDEF and Hotmail etc, to add a digital signature to the domains they own. (A domain is the part of an email address which comes after @ symbol. For example, @username.ABCDEF .co.uk or @hotmail.com). Google are only partly enforcing this new requirement on certain servers, which is why the issue is not occurring on a wider scale and not happening on every email sent to a Gmail domain. ABCDEF adheres to the standard email protocol known as RFC, which are guidelines implemented for the best practise of sending emails. The new layer Google have introduced is not part of this protocol and therefore not a requirement of the RFC. This issue is not unique to ABCDEF and is affecting other ISP's elsewhere. We apologise we cannot offer any other advise on this matter currently. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
