Cheers. Appreciated.

Indicative current price please for an issue - ta!

Only rode in them - Tina F was the one with a dad in the motor trade and a bundle of Ford keys. Best she got were Mk II Cortinas - worst we had was a Vauxhall Victor which a couple of her jazz-funk mates liberated from the Octagon multi-storey in High Wycombe. Flipping thing packed up just west of Reading. We rolled up outside a pub in the village of Theale which the locals helpfully assisted us with a push into the car park. We had a couple in the pub, made our excuses that we were waiing for her old man to come out, laid low and then went on the hunt for a MkII. Sweet.

Blimey Russ! I'll stick with me album version in that case. I prefer the other suggestions for sure. LOL

Ah. Just noticed - 2 more episodes on the same theme and it says 'available soon on BBC iPlayer'.

This is it - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010dp0z - but, seems it cannot be repeated (must be some way surely?)

Thanks mate.

Probably been asked before. Got the Stax album but what does the 45 go for?

The US release was on Bronco - '67 or '68 I believe and I believe prompted the UK President release. Is this 1974 album version different from the 60s releases?

I was always told this but personally prefer the one with the girlies.

I suppose there are all manner of reasons for people like me for instance not getting out - not least habit (I think going becomes a habit too). Stopped going regularand travelling when Dave Flynn and Greg stopped doing Capitol Soul Club - not because of them stopping (the new guys at the Dome were very fine indeed - Mick H etc and I coulda/woulda/shoulda supported them) but a number of shitty things happened in my life around that time. Also, I was by then busy with a new venture which diverted attention and very often took up weekends. Been to a few smaller events since, but not travelled far at all. I would also add that music policies can be off-putting for me. I personally don't like much of the r&b stuff (mainly the earlier tunes) - stuff like Dean Barlow, Helen Troy, Charles Sheffield etc which just seemed to get hammered all the time, especially at smaller venues along the M4/M5 and the over-reliance on guaranteed 'floorfillers'/'crowdpleasers' at those venues - Ruby Andrews etc. I know local promoters, local DJs etc have to cater for many tastes and I don't necessarliy criticise them for it, just my own choice.

Off centre, out of tune, overrated................yuk.

thought it sounded a bit flat...................

Might as well be Imelda Marcos!! (Sorry Nev - I did take your point earlier but couldn't resist)......

Does it matter? Horrible record whatever format IMO.

I know it all comes down to taste, opinion etc etc but I was saying to my girlfriend when we were watching JH's Hootenanay how nauseous I find this bloke's voice. I don't think he's anything special - I find his voice very unappealing and that Gnarls Barkley thing ('Crazy'?), to me at least was an irritating pain in the backside not to mention the song itself. Just my humble opinion.

Saw the great man at St Davids Hall, Cardiff 15 years ago and he was gracious enough to meet and greet about 20 of us adoring fans in his dressing room after the show and sign copies of his book. What a thrill and an honour to have chatted with and shaken the hand of the man Bob Dylan famously described as "America's greatest living poet". Awesome, absolutely awesome.

Absolutely. Early-mid 80s I recall this being played and if I recall correctly was featured on one of Ady's Kent compilation LP.

Darrow Fletcher was lead singer in The New York Dolls until David Johansen took over and Dennis Coffey played lead guitar on Iggy and The Stooges 'Now I Wanna Be Your Dog' because James Williamson had a dentist appointment that morning.....................

Thanks for clarifying.

Does the Rampart release have the intro?

Hilarious Pete! Sent the link to my son who's in a ska punk band (another shameless plug for Dirty Revolution; check out https://www.myspace.com/dirtyrevolution - I thank you).

Absolute

Saw it at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff on Saturday night with my girlfriend (non-soulie), my son (took to a few venues inc Kings Hall about 10 years ago when he was 13/14), the lead singer in his band (non-soulie but she comes from Hinkley and was always aware of it) and Billy Jones (still souling though does more rock n roll weekenders these days). Some ex-Casino goers were in, lots of ex-Cardiff Cougars scooterists. Good atmosphere with a few of us singing along to Magic Carpet Ride at the end which bemused those attending who clearly had no connections to the scene! Not going to make any more comment as most has been said. We all enjoyed it, thought the nighter scenes looked pretty good, some cheesey moments (yes - the dance-off), some funny moments and we thought the film had a decent heart and made Northern Soul mid-seventies look genuinely exciting (as we know it was but others might not). And now, a shameless plug for my lad's band, Dirty Revolution. They are on tour for the next few weeks and you can check them out here - https://www.myspace.com/dirtyrevolution - or tap the name into YouTube and samples will come up. I thank you.

Because it's so bloody boring to hear the same old, same old, over and over and over.....................one of several reasons why I can't be arsed to go anywhere anymore.
