Cheers Chris. Got this weekends one done now. Something a little bit different

they don't...

Yes it lasts for about 3 minutes, from the start to the finish.

No I said I didn't know there was such a a word as metaphoric. Seriously. Or maybe I just never saw it in print.

Same here, I put it in one of my packs, 50 records for 100 quid.

I've heard and used metaphor but I've never heard the word mataphoric before! I'm going to start using it.

Careful cos this has been repressed more times than I've had hot dinners. It's by Ken Boothe & Stranger Cole, originally a CD (Coxsone Dodd) blank then a Studio One blank then a Studio One labelled copy with no credits - and thats just the first issue. Great tune though.

Well I don't know how you're taking it now that you're accusing me of intimidation. For f*cks sake, it's only a chat forum! Besides, I don't think I've insulted you at all, I've just not liked/enjoyed/got/agree with what you've written and how you've written it, not YOU personally, there's been no name calling has there?

If you remember I also PM'd you last night and hoped that you agreed that this stuff shouldn't be taken seriously!

That Larry Hammond is a "fake" anyway isn't it?

What do you mean, 'trying to intimidate you', I've done nothing of the sort, I'm just carrying on the debate and replying to someone else and explaining why this has been going on for so long. You need to do something about that paranoia. Intimidation, oh come on. If you really think that you'd better report me to the moderators.

I don't think anyone's used the Soul Police expression on this thread. The two original records in question are not god-awful pop cover versions, you only have to open your ears and listen to hear that...and take off the blinkers as well. If you've read all of the thread then you should know why the poster is being 'sneered at' (which he isn't, he's being challenged) and it's not because of his preference for SOUL, it's because of his pompous rhetoric and look-at-me-I-should-be-writing-for-a-living style of posts.

No, he is - he told me.

Now we agree on something. Nothing can ever come close to the Spinners version of Sweet Thing.

Dammit I said I was going to stay away from this topic

The reason that I slavishly follow Tony's posts are simply because I know that on nearly every one, I'm going to learn something from them about music that I didn't know previously. Therefore he gets my respect. I also get PM's. Lots. Usually a dozen a day. None of them say they agree with anything you say. Didn't cross my mind to mention that until you revealed you have a fan.

Do you talk like this down the pub? Do you drink alone?

Here you go John https://new.music.yahoo.com/hall-oates/tracks/girl-dont-make-me-wait--175825575

They seem to issue any tracks they like from any company - is it a legit label or a bootleg label, anyone know?

Tis a bit weird, it's still working for me and the last post on there was at 16.19 https://forums.ebay.co.uk/thread.jspa?messageID=1106520590 try that one

I just clicked the link and it went straight to it and showed my signing of it!

No, I sold it but the clip might ill be up. How can anyone know where or when the last one sold cheap was. Last one I had was 50 quid, about 2 years back.

Yes it's on a Hall & Oates cd, lost tracks or something like that.

I replied to you, it came out in France, was it a hit there or was it stopped from being a hit by white cover versions? You dodge every question anyone asks you, and whenever you're proved wrong you pretend the question was never asked in the first place and it's never mentioned again. Tony has run rings round you in every aspect of this debate, yes it's fine to be able to use big words and put them in the correct order but when it's just the vaccuous reverse racism that you apply to everything, the whole debate has been a complete waste of time. You might be able to fool some of the people here but you can't fool all of them. Therefore, like Mr Rounce, I'm out too.
