Mal C

Here is the Rick Backer Acetate I have of M-1000 Cut March 1968, this came from a Goodwill shop in Sacramento. Columbus Recordings is a studio in the centre of San Francisco.

Right on the nail, and what I was trying to convey above. We ALL love the music, I just hate seeing every slow, or / and slightly sweet 45 I'd like to get, priced and described as 'Low Rider'! and because of that, its tripled in value, to what it's actually worth.

Rick Beato's YT channel is an absolute must. He talks to big stars, loads of famous session players and lots of the seminal backroom / studio folks, and some really great up and coming singers / writers, always something for everybody. This episode with Jimm Webb, if you are not glued within ten mins, you’re in the wrong place dude :-=/

Fair comment. I guess that kinda links to the other AI thinks out there, or soon to be in 2025, the Rikers label stuff...

Bit ambiguous, what do you mean?

Point taken. Let me say, I really like this track, Malcolm that is. It is a hell of allot better that some I've heard, but I personally would not buy it, well maybe a MP3. Lets just say, if you know of the 'Northern Scene', which even water molocules on Mars know about! you gonna love this. It will get played a scooter dos, it will get plyed at main stream parties and maybe mainstream clubs if you have a Dj that is inclined, but as they know, and all of us know, it's not the real deal 6ts, they state that, and thats fine, its a HOMMAGE. There is room in the world of music for Silky Hargreaves, and Malcolm. Good luck to him.. Question, what have they based this on? I hear 'Turning my Heartbeat up, obviously, with inflection down at the end of that phrase, and that backing with the plonking piano, I can't place it, but its a big record... Du na nu-nu nu-nu nu-nu Nu, repeat - repeat etc... can anybody sheet read my jibberish! laughing

Well if Nosmo King Can do it, Malcolm can do it…!

Sonny Parker, Soul's opposite to Morrisey! just love his voice, and that warble... dunno what they pay for it now, cost me £300 of Pat Brady in maybe 2003/4. 'Think What can I do' is the better side I think, Mr Romance is a ok, bit planative, but yery good record. Thing I have noticed with 'Low rider' as a genre, as it's been uncovered and introduced to us here in the UK, or Northern fans, is they had a sound right that they collected, with deffo Mex influence in some of it, but that sound now, seems to be every slowie of a certain tempo! I'm sure they over there like those records, but Ive heard some tracks that I just though, nahhh Is this a Low rider track? Some might just go yeah and if they were selling it, pop Lowrider classic after the grade and price, fair enough... Am I saying not all slowies are not 'Low rider'? I'm sure loads are, but its not exclusive is it...

Final Batch from Madrid. Museo de Prado, the main road outside, which is really nice on a Sunday, as they close it to all traffic. Also, the view from one of the roof top bars on Gran Via, they are ten a penny up there, and if you have aching feet, Wanna get away from the crowds, really nice way to have a cheeky half and soak up the sun. Hasta Luego chicos

More pics from Parque el Retiro today in Madrid

A day out in ‘Centro de Madrid’. today we are going to see the Duke of Lerma, the old ‘ El Duque de Lerma’, that’s the Rubens portrait at the Museo el Prado, you know who he reminds me of? About to take office over the pond, or is it the pong! then we will hang out el parque el retiro. Was a very nice 16 degrees yesterday in the Sun, bit misty just now but will clear up before noon I’m sure. Luego chicos :/)

Great, great singer, Rest in peace Brenton... Here is one of my favorites

I see it, a little ironic, one of the posts on there states, Tim Brown said on one of his lists, back then, that it didnt exist on Issue... lol 'Gentlemen Four - I Don't Want Nobody To Lead Me On', on Sonday in the US, also came out on Yellow Festival in Oz, which is a nice track, same song as by the The Masqueraders on US Wand. All good stuff
