Spyder Turner - No One Else Will Do (I Can't Make It Anymore Backing)
It is, but I always thought it has a really weak chorus compared to the verses....probably just me :-)

John Manship Auction Results 13 - 8 - 2014
Because we can't believe buyers can be so carefree with their money basically when a tiny little bit of work would get them the item for a lot less!

95% of all records I sell are for other people as well. Just thought I'd point that out.

Reddington's Selling Up
From my article about how it took me 30 years to find a record, printed elsewhere Go forward now to 1981, and it was my 21st birthday. Me and my then girlfriend Debbie decided to go to Birmingham for a day to do a bit of shopping. Now I don't know Birmingham at all, in fact apart from visiting the Locarno and the old Birmingham Odeon, I've only ever been to the shops there twice in my life. But I somehow managed to find Reddingtons Rare Records. Guess what I found in there then? Yes, it was Rise And Fall and I thought "right you bastard, you've eluded me for almost 10 years, I'm having you this time". Then the bloke behind the counter told me the price. "That's £5 please mate" "£5??? Are you joking? It's only worth a quid" "Well go and find one somewhere else for a quid then" "I f-cking will, it's all overpriced in here anyway" So I stormed out of the shop due to this appalling customer service and left the record in there.

Tommy Neal -going To A Happening
I think the backing track is great, but just can't get over his voice, especially at the end of the second verse when he tries for a note he can't reach. This is way pre-Wigan Jock, it was played on it's UK release in 1968, hence there being a lot of UK Vocalion copies about. Last release on the label I think.

Tommy Neal -going To A Happening
The strangest thing of all is how it ever got released, one of the worst vocals you'll ever hear

Dave Mac claimed that he and Siz both found it on the same day in different parts of Manchester, met up later to see what they'd found and both had the same record!

I still get the urge to do a magazine or something like that from time to time so this sort of helps me dismiss the idea as folly!

Old School Northern Soul Part 9 - At Last
Garry if I can do it, you can do it, especially if you already have your music on your computer, you only need one piece of software to create the continuous MP3 file, and then you upload it, it's so simple.
