I think she is helping out here on the U/R version of "When he's not around" Anyone confirm?

I've found the CD now with that Joe Pirolli version and it is bad!! There are 3 takes of V.C. 27/10/65, 10/05/66 & the final released version from 28/09/66 (plus instrumental) I wonder what she did in the times between the takes? The funny thing is that the final mix is a really bad recording and that is probably why it didn't get very far!

Yes. I seem to remember she's the first person on that "Strange World of Northern Soul" film/video/DVD

No. The tapes of Come Go & Tainted Love were dug out about 3 years ago and a few different mixes were done, including the intrumentals. Where did you get it from, Pete?

I have not heard of this Donald Albert version,

holly st james, quite famous country chick Sound, nice country label ..... you got to keep on, keep on going..... to Wigan

again, any chance of putting up some sound files?

Can you post up a sound file or two?

It's on ERECT (Canadian) a 12" record. Gospel...........

K Smith - lord's what happened? T . Callier - I don't want to see myself Don Thomas - How can I help but love you Micheal Smith - A love heavenly inspired owt else?

will a sample do? the full ' Erect 12" ' mp3 is over 3mb!!!

There's a "funky" version of the Del Larks complete with waa-waa pedal guitar! mp3 anybody?

Trouty, grooving along nicely all day thanks, detailed feedback to follow. ToS is quite shite apart from the bongos. Boat rocking wise, you can expect a CD of Earl white Jnr X 30 soon!

Amphetamines?

Can't remember who it was, but a dealer approached the label owner to re-press the C.A. track, but was told that he wanted to try the song with another artist, which was Donald Albert. Personaly, I think the DA is a better cut, pity it never came out on a 7" To me D.A. sound like C.A. though! FoE was a £5 record from Dave Raistrick who had several copies when I bought it of him.

Bus trip, to stock up on "Wife Beater" and a spot of dealer leathering? :-)

Where will it all end??? It will end with a load of foolish people with a "£10,000 collection" consisting of half a dozen records that are really worth a couple of hundred quid. They'll be too embarassed to try and sell them for what they paid, and naturally unwilling to take the "negative equity" hit that selling would incur; and so will hang on to them stating that they'll never sell, but probably wish they could! Soon a lot of people will be much, much nearer retirement than their last attendance at Wigan and will have more important uses for their hard earnt cash. They'll be a few people with a £50k collection that cost them £50k. They'll be a few more with a £50 k collection that cost them £5k. But most probably they be lots of people with a load of Northern CDs, great Northern memories but who don't really give a **** about bit of 7" Northen plastic!

- If you pst file is corrupt, then you shagged, I think. Search your hard drive with *.pst and hopefuly you'll find the old (large).pst file and the (small) new one you created yesterday - probably under documents\ user name\ applications data\microsoft\outlook. close outlook Rename the big file something like ''pete.pst'' and copy it to another folder as a back up. open outlook. Go to "File" and then "Data File Management". Here you can add a .pst file i.e. the one you've just renamed - pete.pst Failing that go to "File" then "import & export", then choose "import from another programme or file" and press 'next' then choose "personal folder file. pst" choose your renamed file which hopefully will allow you to add from the old .pst file to the one you created yesterday.

It's best used neat with a lint free cloth, it will evoprate off as you wipe the record. If you use it neat you do have to worry about spilling any on the label and getting "water damage" .You can buy alco wipes that are for cleaning skin before injections that contain isoproply alcohol on a little square of soft cloth which are useful if your out and about DJing and get crap on a record. Two thing though, DON'T smoke etc as it very flammble and DON'T get it any where near your acetates as it will melt them! If you got a really hissy disk you are record to CD etc, you can litteraly soak it in isopropyl alcohol and playing it thus will markedly reduce the noise. If you've got a really shagged, dirty record that you want to spruce up and sell to some poor unsuspecting mug, you can use WD40 (watch the label!), works very well but stinks!!

Marvin Gaye – It’s not unusual Puts Thomas Woodward's version in the shade, any day!

Sorry, John, at work pretending to be at work! Any requests for the return? thanks Simon

I reckon he sounds like Mill Evans (esp ain't you glad), but have been told it is definately not.

I've got it on tape from Cleethorpes, i think, late seventies? Ah, mogodons, the original meaning of smillies 's !!!!!!
