You can get an ointment for it.

Lets go back, way back, back into time...... Three questions: When did this behaviour [on the rare soul scene] start? What records inspired it: I always think of 'Tainted Love' but there must be many more? When did it fade out? I remember it at late Ritz all-dayers but not at Morecombe or Stafford but I could be wrong. Anybody got a memory or two to share. dean
