The crux of the whole thing is "If you think that life is just a game, do you like the part you're playing".

It's the whole LP, full of insights and philosophies which can affect your life if you let them. 'Bummer In The Summer', 'A House Is Not A Motel', 'Clark Ans Hillsdale' and the utterly brilliant 'You Set The Scene', which vies with the Beatles' 'A Day In The Life' as the best LP track ever. All of those surpass any of the above and I'm a massive fan of 'Little Red Book'

This isn't a discussion about which is meant to be the best album of the sixties, it's a tribute to a great musician who just died. Start another thread if you want to. Tabitha the Clark & Hillsdale is a reference to the two streets that border the block on Sunset Blvd where the Whisky A Go Go was. The songs about the people who frequented the club. I was sad enough to have my photo taken (by one of the Zombies) by each of the street signs.

Arthur Lee the leader and songwriter of the LA 60s psychedelic group Love has died in Memphis yesterday of Leukemia. The group's third album "Forever Changes" is cited by many as the greatest of all time and I concur. Arthur produced Rosa Lee Brooks 'My Diary' on Revis and was mildly amused to see I had a copy a couple of years back when I collared him for an autograph. He was an utterly brilliant geezer.

You were never banned, I would have just helped you down the stairs a bit faster!

I've got the greatest respect for John but when I heard it at the 100 Club I just thought it was a geezer singing over the record. What's the acetates provenance, are 100% trustworthy sources involved all the way along the line? (sorry if this has been answered already!)

I'm in

Me and Kenny and JT and BB haven't been contacted concerning any cross promotions ban, so I'm sure she'll be more than welcome at the 100 Club next Saturday if she needs to hear some good old stompers!

Still sounds great, thanks for the plug, I'll make sure the other 23 tracks are belters too.

Bloody hell Sidecar, that made me laugh!

https://www.acerecords.co.uk/content.php?pa...mp;release=4586 Is a link to the several hundred words I wrote about how the tape was discovered in the CDKEND 248 booklet. The scan will be in the next volume of the CD's booklet. It's the second lump of text the first is a general blurb for the CD.

Perhaps you should wipe your top lip. As I said in the previous post it'll be in the booklet of the CD with the Waves on when it comes out.

And lets not forget the original female vocal 'Is It Love Baby' by the Waves which I'm playing now. As the doubting Thomases don't seem to believe me, we'll stick a scan of the original tape box in the booklet of the CD when it comes out. The label song's owner and writer Herbert Campbell told us the full story and it's on CDKEND 248, opening track The Magicians, which to my ears is by far the best.

I'm sure you're right about the Boys In The Band, it was only a vague recollection I had. Oz sounds good if I can play cricket against some very old bad cricketers. I'm permanently skint though, will I have to work my passage? (That sounds bad)

Yep that was one of my early attempts and I put it on Southbound because it was the soul hits and the funky less soulful numbers than I put on the Kent release. There were some great tracks on there including the Mayberry Movement's unissued version of 'I Can See Him Making Love To You' which eventually came out on a 100 Club anniversary single. Does anyone know if there's any difference between the Joneses versions of Pull My String which came out on three labels? Which was first Spring, VMP or Pride. I could do with hearing 'Movin On' on Posse if anyone can help. Never heard of Personal Touch at all. When I do the 2nd Kent vol I'll put a couple of choice cuts from the Southbound CD which is pretty old now and take all your recommendations into account. Thanks Ady

The first Spring track to go Northern was probably 'How About A Little Hand (For The Boys In The Band) by The Boys In The Band, from the soundtrack of a gay musical! I think the musicians might have been the Philly session men.

Any chance of a sound bite to help us guess or am I missing obvious clues?

Can anyone send me the writers, producer credits etc on the label (and the flip) Ta Ady

Not too much, but Tony R found some good alts and stuff on the Millie multis which he's using on the repackaging of her old albums onto new CDs. We live in hope!

I did knock out a couple of CDs of Spring material (one on Kent, it's one of my faves, and one on Southbound, more the hits) and another is in the pipeline, so I'll borrow a few of your recommendations, if I may. My faves are anything by the Mayberry Movement (though it's more Event, the sister label), Ray Godfrey's I'm The Other Half Of You and the Act One tracks.

The mad hippy shopkeeper wouldn't let me take them all!

And mine are normally done with a John Bull printing set. If it's one of Virginie's she does her own mad drawings. Hey we're art; dead sheep with black fists a go go!

damn, i had four of them and had to leave two! Anyone know what Tobi Legend went for?

No you're alright I just heard it and it does sound like tirt! Lets call it quits. It's a bit too rockish but the brass is something else.
