  1. Is there a decent recording of this track available or just that one crackly acetate?
  2. What's the title of the b side?
  3. Are the first letters of the A side's title TWABMB ?
  4. Did Simon have his 'Broomfield' boots, Dee Dee's spandex trousers & Geordie Jumper on?
  5. I think the 12" format was utilized to enhance the bass parts of the track to give it the 'disco' vibe. To increase the bass elements, the stylus needs to move a little more from side-to-side and hence the width of the groove increases. Keeping the same space between the grooves, the total physical space needed for the recording is greater, hence the use of the 12" format. The total length of the entire track, if laid out in a straight line, would not be any longer. Imagine coiling a piece of string around in a (7") spiral, and then increasing the string's girth slightly; the size of the spiral would enlarge, in proportion to the increase in the girth of the string. As the increase wouldn't be anywhere near enough to increase the diameter of the spiral by 171.428 %, it would not fill an entire 12" record.
  6. It's on Destination, an old Keb spin from Stafford era. I've not seen it for sale for years, so couldn't guess at it's value. Search Refosoul for Sweet Nothings if you want to hear it.
  7. Duplicate post.
  8. It sounds like a sample from the intro to Larry Saunders - On The Real Side, but slowed down
  9. Is Ooo Wee Baby the same tune as the Supremes track, or just the same title?
  10. Is Ooo Wee Baby the same tune as the Supremes track, or just the same title?
  11. I thought someone had accidentally leaked the answers the ''how many are there and who's got them'' Frank Wilson quiz!
  12. Don't know if this helps, but these were at the top of the home page in recent minutes Warning: Incorrect key file for table 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on line 128 Warning: Table 's' is marked as crashed and should be repaired query: xxxxxxxxxxxxx on line 128
  13. Possibly my favorite LP, definatley my favorite LP cover.
  14. I'm think I'm sure that J.J. Jnr only used his index finger as the 'hook' but did any of ,Bob Babbitt, Michael Henderson, Eddie Watkins, Clarence Isabell, Professor Beard, Joe James or Tony Newton use a plectrum ?
  15. CONTESSA - NEED YOUR LOVE - LAZ BAR.
  16. I taped Guy's spot at Stafford mid 1985 and although I can't find the tape to check his exact words he introduced it as 'all the way from Chicago, the Albanians - That's The Same Thing' A few years ago I asked him about it and why the Albanians and the Chicago tag; he told me he decided to cover up a record as the Albanians whilst on holiday in Corfu looking over at Albania!
