Not a straight compilation -but Melvin Davis has a couple of CDs out later in the year covering his Fortune recordings -watch this space. Rob

After EMI decided to dump the studios . Great new today is that the building has been afforded Grade 2 listed building status. So its been saved from the developers Rob

can remember The Empire state SC-is t still going Any of our Stateside brothers on here running anything in Manhatten or surrounding districts playing original Vinyl ? Shout up or PM me please Rob

Anyone got a listing for Contempo? Amazing variety 45s came out-something for everyone-classic Northern, Funk, totally Oddball, UK produced stuff as well. 45s, 12" & Albums The Armarda Orchestra LP-years since I heard "Disco Armarda" (is that how its spelt ? Good label ! Rob

Oh dear But as always wish the gorgeous Miss Lavette the best of luck with this as she deserves every ounce of success I personally HATE the song Nights in white satin --utter twaddle slit your throat music Rob

I bought one at the time £4 I think rings a bell-a member on here was behind bringing some copies in advance all in nice GSF sleeve s too !! must have been very early on 1975/ 1976 ? Tats has got one they are easy to spot "In the flesh" you can feel the label A long time personal want for me.... Rob

I recognise that box of records-I knew you were up to something Pete As her to play "I got to pieces" Rob

Its good issuing the DJs with ear plugs at Brid isn't mate !!

and in case you didn't know The children of singer Seal and supermodel Heidi Klum have received tennis lessons from Roger Federer, says Seal. "Roger [Federer has been teaching the kids too.That's one of the joys of being connected in the showbiz industry. It's nice knowing these people," said Seal. "I've had a knock up with him too." The children, however, are only aged 4, 3 and 1. Federer, I think they want you back for their dog too. Seal cannot possible replace Wawrinka, so are we looking at Hiedi Klum for someone? Why not? Chris Evert has already set a precedent. the lad done well-i wonder if he still gets turned away from the local cinema ????? Rob and how about in your best Harry Hill voice-who did the best version of ACIGC--SEAL or SAM --only one way to find out--FIGHT !!

I DONT RECALL HEARING A BAD VERSION OF THIS SOUL MASTERPIECE. SEAL'S IS ESPECIALLY GOOD, CHECK OUT HIS RECENT ALBUM OF SOUL COVERS, COS HE'S NOT AMERICAN DOESN'T MEAN HE AINT GOT SOUL DOES IT??? REPEATING ANOTHER POST HERE BUT THE HAIRS ON THE BACK OF MY NECK WONT GO DOWN WHEN I HEAR IT.

Oops almost forgot. The Seal version is on the link below.

Fu**king Al Green that opening I was BBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORNNNNNNNN by a river! sent a shiver through me Liver and down to the tips of my toes!!

Love ACIGC--the singers who have recorded this-Reading, Cook, Womack can sing it with feeling. You know they have felt the pain and tasted the Chitlin's in grandma's shack. I can sit and listen to Sam sing "I was born by the river" and believe every word its sheer poetry . However the recent cover by Seal was sung well, but you knew damn well that the Pain wasn't there. Great song Rob

An un-sung hero for me is CLIFF STEEL, followed by Carl Fortnum and Ian Clark , all 3 play something a little off the wall and have superb original collections built up over ,many years and have the DJ skills to rescue the dance floor if needed. Best all round DJ Rob Smith by miles !! Rob

Que ? But they did put out some rather nice pic cover 45s & EPs !

YEP.......................

no prob Pete-pm'd ya just dont have time to list thats all

Along with a white fiver And several large Moths !! Malc Burton

Happy Valentines Day Mrs Jumping xx Rob

In a strange way, its probably a little "too good" as in "well produced" and polished and not "raw" enough for the scene, its also a VERY hard record to dance to VERY Fast, but with some off beat bits in there. Love it and owned it since the mid 70s on UK -but it'll never be "just right" IMO Rob

Plus those prices were actually expensive at the time. In 1970 I was still at school but had a Saturday job which paid 2 pounds and ten shillings, so some of those records would have been almost 2/3 of one day's wages at the time. Pretty expensive believe or not. Plus, if my memory serves me correctly, 3 shillings and 6 pence (approximately 32p today) would have bought you Chicory Tip so you made out like a bandit Ian D

A lot of views but no takers Ok then £375, or I start listing them individually tons of £10 ers in there and plenty of scope for making money if you want to split them up. I can't really be bothered to sit and sell them at venues! As I say give me a call.
