Wigan
Whilst I have no desire to take pictures of the Casino Cafe, preferring instead to remember the place as it was, each to their own. And to me this is just another example of what's wrong this this country. I am all for protecting kids, anti terrorism etc, but some of these numbnuts don't seem to have an ounce of common sense in them. In the old days there was something called "discretion", where you assessed the situation and took a view. I realise this is harder now, but it seems as if there's a whole army of people writing silly rules, and an even bigger army of small-brains "carrying out" these "rules".

The Detroit Soul
Gotta say I've never been able to get into this one. Bought from Mr M in the 70's for £2 or something, but....it's not quite there for me. All of my life though is a great record - even if they are hippies .

The triangular ones...just as bad the badges you put on your jacket to say where you'd been

Grey And Hanks
Fantastic track! Godin used to rave over it and quite rightly so, as did Richard. It did get plays on the modern scene.

Volcanos
Right, I have Arctic demos with sanded B sides, ordinary B sides, and blanks - a real hodge podge. I still need "Chains of love" to complete - anyone ?

Otis Clay
Ironic that, in the sam,e way as we were talking about Tom Tom Washington a few weeks ago and how he made a lot out of Phil Collins. Every cloud etc.

Radio Station In The Bank
I was in the HSBC today when on the radio they announced next up would be Frank Wilson. I listened eagerly expecting to hear some gushing 20 something witter on about ISA's, Pensions and secure homes for my money, only to be greated by "Do I love you" I did complain to the customer liaison officer (or whatever they're called), and she said "Oh yeah I've heard this before". I am now seriously considering moving to Nat West?

Gil Scott Heron - Bottle
...and UK Arista 12 The latest remix uses the Arista version. However despite the harsh words it's a classic record in it's own right.

Re Activisation Of Oldies
Well the Salvadors has been hammered to death. As for JF, I did reactivate this briefly down here, because it wasn't being played anywhere round here. It might well be top 500, but at the local do's it wasn't even in the top 5,000. As for The Crow, you'd have to ask Mick Smith about that Think Keb started that one off again anyway.

You can't beat making your own in some nice pine.

Cover-ups What Do You Think Of Them?
Nor me. BTW I also agree having a few cover ups is great and adds to the mystery.
