  1. Never heard Bobby Troup - anyone oblige?
  2. so did I!
  3. Yes, you can hear the same with the instrumental of Try A Little Harder. They never released the first instrumental of Don't Pretend and subsequently it's really hard to get hold of. Russ must have done a few emidiscs because I bought one about 6 years ago from an old collection, not great quality but passable (and with a count in), this is the one without the violins picking out the tune (that one came out on Soul Fox). For some reason I actually gave that emidisc away a couple of years ago to someone who asked me for it. I must have been mad.
  4. I bought Matt Lucas' copy of Baby You Better Go Go off him and asked him to sign the sleeve, he signed the label in silver pen, I was not happy
  5. Absolutely brilliant some of those Mirwood things - well most of them - what about Same Old Thing inst, that was fantastic, I'm Satisfied With You, My Little Girl...they were as good as insts as they were vocal...oh, and to cap it all off, Cigarette Ashes!!!
  6. Is it, the one with Footsee, Panic, Tainted Love etc? In that case I must have just dubbed the cd of it onto a tape...thought it was a different one
  7. Umm not sure, had the sound down for some of it. Just found a tape from 74...have you got that one? No date, just 74. Starts off with Tobi Legend then Carmel Strings then LIving A Lie
  8. Funny actually, I'm just transferring all of the Wigan tapes onto the computer, didn't realise I had so many from 75, but one thing just shocked me, Searling playing Joe Matthews - Ain't Nothing You Can Do - in 1975! It never went big til 77, in fact don't think I ever heard it til then. He's also playing some terrible 70's record by "The Steppers" any ideas Mark, he plays it twice in one set.
  9. Yeah still got it mate, I'll post it up in a minute. I like the fact it's in two separate parts - the long intro then the main theme
  10. Have listened to it many times over the years Steve...fabulous version
  11. I swear on my little Sam's life this is true - the first time I heard "How to make a sad man glad" I thought he was singing "I've been second class". Don't ask me what it means...
  12. Good job I found that bloke who'd got the issues on ebay eh?
  13. Someone mentioned Police Story, and yes, that's rubbish, but another tv theme is absolutely brilliant and goodness me it took me over 25 years to get a copy, and after I sold that, another decade to find another... Bob's Band - Locke's Theme - Atco... doesn't have the soul content of something like Bari Track but it's a brilliant tune
  14. Have suffered from over-exposure to Sliced Tomatoes for years but I agree about All Turned On, awesome record

    it's only an mp3!
  16. Mate I let him know over 50 omissions and errors after the first one and he never said thank you so sod that

    Not sure but I think most US demos have You're So Young on both sides
  18. Thats incorrect Pete, it was booted as a demo, the lettering of the title and artist is red on the bootleg instead of black

    Check these out Steve (SHAUN SORRY TO HIJACK YOUR THREAD)

    This...
  21. I wasn't replying to your point mister, someone asked for records better than the Younghearts, a very average record, and I supplied a start but stopped because it would have taken me all day to type them. In answer to your question, of course I couldn't come up with 500 records better than the top 500, a good 300 of them are the best records ever made. Read my posts properly before having a sarcy pop back please.
  22. I could name you probably 1000 better records than that in the last 30 years, let's start with cecil washington eddie daye billy hambric tempests imperial c's lonnie russ erma franklin nancy butts commands johnny maestro I mean come on, records played since 78 that are better than the Younghearts...the list would never end!

    That's the wrong side of the Mark Loyd record...
  24. The thread wasn't really about instrumentals, just the reaction to hearing a record that happened to be an instrumental for the first time in years and being taken aback - but now we're on the subject, my favourite instrumentals are, in this order Bari Track Exus Trek Frantic Escape The Champion My Little Girl

    Great 12" that, I especially like The Detroit Strings - In The Pocket - it has no strings on it whatsoever...
