  1. Richard Searlings old"Salvadors"cover up,if the old memory serves.
  2. She chose Dobie Grey yesterday on Radio2..Ooer! "Heartache ave"by the Maisonettes was a little flat in places I thought.. maisonettes,flat..never mind I'll get me coat!
  3. Antiques.. aren't they great!
  4. Frank Lynch..what a great uplifting track that is.. well in!
  5. Did he have an"ask Pete"agony column for the confused amongst us?..or even"pop up"surgeries from various venues? They could've been held in adjoining cubicles in the bogs along the lines of a confessional...forgive me Pete,for I know not what I do,I have succumbed to the lure of the 12"..'ll get me coat!
  6. I would have thought it was easy to make comments like those at that time,I'm sure no one thought there was a finite amount of top quality 60's sounds to be discovered, but as we know from the last few years this is turning out to be the case.So who's the forward thinker?.Would be interesting to have his opinion today, would he still be as static or would he have thrown his hat in with the majority of us?
  7. Fletcher Walker, what a stunning piece of music that is.
  8. When we want your opinion by the way,we'll give it to you.
  9. You're far too opinionated already, mouth shut, ears open, listen and learn. Put some considerable time in,then you can pontificate on here,you'll only alienate folk by not respecting what or who went before.. amen.
  10. "Hair is the first thing,and teeth the second, hair and teeth.. A man got those two things, he's got the lot"..James Brown(who had both in abundance)
  11. Maybe too fast these days? Always had people throwing themselves around the dancefloor at its peak though didn't it? Mid tempo,even down tempo seems to be the"in vogue"style at many venues, ie Bernard Drake, Arthur Foy etc,something the over 40's can actually dance to!
  12. Hard to believe how Carl Carlton's version hardly ever features,can't remember the last time I heard it anywhere.
  13. Clark's "commando's"real sensible footwear, animal tracks on the sole and the added bonus of a compass in the heel..just the job for getting down.
  14. Spot on,talented guys.
  15. Peter's son plays keyboards and sings backing vocals for depeche mode, check his superb vocal on"I'm not in love"on you tube,a really talented guy.
  16. Another great radio theme,Alan Haven"image"atmospheric Hammond organ inst.Used by many including our own Mr Evison.Hammond...a vital organ!
  17. Saw em yesterday Pete,donkey stoning thier front doorsteps in Gorton, still a pair of lookers!
  18. "Rubberband"by them also worthy,sampled(stolen)lots of times.. by that 50 pence fella to name but one.
  19. Just to diversify, The Chi Lites cover of"inner city blues"pushes Marvin real close, must rank as one of the best ever covers.
  20. I like to showcase styles of dance that are referred to in songs,I.e camel walk,mashed potato, New breed boogaloo when I'm out, although the hucklebuck drew some stares, and I'm struggling at the moment with the titty shaker!
  21. Still have nightmares about that!..Some people have Van Gogh's ear for music don't they?
  22. Seem to recall multiple copies in Tim Brown's shop,Richard S played it once as Mr Taylor,it so obviously is!..imo.
  23. Swirling strings on Chris Bartley/Presidents"sweetest thing this side of heaven",always makes me want to turn my collar up against the wind!
  24. Chuck Bernard just about as good as it gets!
  25. Saw"20 feet from stardom"last week,up for best documentary at the Oscars.Took $5m at the U.S box office,opens here next month and is guaranteed to uplift you,stunning example of how to handle the subject matter.
