Knock Your Socks Off
Oh, and I got an LP that I left behind loads of times before and thought I ought to finally get myself a copy after hearing a track at A New Chapter at Smersh, London earlier this month. Al Wilson - La La La La La La La La La La La La La Peace Song for a fiver too.

Knock Your Socks Off
I bought Little Milton "I Know What I Want" on Cadet at a local record fair recently for a fiver. Very nice record.

Am I Normal?
Surely not. Looking at the photo,it doesn't look like a lady. Can someone offer conclusive proof?

Use Of The Microphone
I think the first post summed it up nicely. Too much waffle and you can't understand a word anyway. Nothing much interesting gets said aside from "This one's for the dancers"Lol . There are a handful though who are very good at it e.g. Terry Davis,Terry Jones, Jo Wallace and Soul Sam to name a few.

Rose Batiste - Hit And Run
Arguably one of the best ever. Certainly the best Motown record that never was.

DIY BOOTLEGS OF BOOTLEGS
Maybe they want to compare a genuine scan to a dodgy bootleg so they don't get stung :-)

"Strange Wordl Of Norther Soul" DVD
To me the biggest plus of the film is the vast amount of time dedicated to interviewing punters, djs, promoters and lots of people who lived it. I fast forwarded through some of the songs whilst watching it for the second time but the interviews are great. Some very funny anecdotes and some very interesting tales.

You can get another Tamla Motown reissue for £3.99. It's been rerelaesed along with a load of other standards to celebrate Motown's 45th anniversary. It's better tham paying £20 for a Stardust copy!!

Who's this?
That face is very familiar. Someone who had a long career and hits in 70s/80s, right?

Who's this?
No 1 looks like Bill Cosby's wife! No 2 is Bessie - but I'm not sure which one

Name this mega tune?
I only know the Maze version and think it's pretty good - as virtually all Maze stuff is. I'd be interested to hear the earlier version. As for cover versions that don't quite cut it, I always think of the mid 60s British pop versions of soul records that still got NS plays, such as Timebox, etc.

What Motown track rocks your boat?
Two of my long standing faves: Smokey Robinson & Miracles "More Love" Martha Reeves & Vandellas "No More Tear Stained Make Up"

What Motown track rocks your boat?
I'll try again.... The Marvelettes "Poor Little Rich Girl" Four Tops "Red Hot Love" is a real grower.

What records r u wearing out @ home @ the moment?
I can't stop playing MIchelle Williams "My Only Love Is You" from her recent CD at the moment. It's superb.

Thoughts Please
Don't worry about it. The punters won't care. Why deprieve of them of hearing good music just because it's on a CD?

BLACK SUGAR WANTED
Sorry, can't help. Excellent track though.

I think there's one on Manship's auction. At least there was last week.

LP TRAX ET AL ON PLAYLISTS?
Grant, I know that. I just don't see the point of creating a dub from a CD for a previously unissued track that has suddenly appeared on CD. Why not just play direct from the CD?
-
LP TRAX ET AL ON PLAYLISTS?
Why not play previously unissued tracks direct from the CD? The sound quality is bound to be better, I would've thought. After all, the CD is the original issue.
