Hadn't heard this before - do like it but doesn't kick arse for me the same way HF does - anyone else?

The only 45 I could find was on here recently as 'offers'. Can't find the one Mal saw on ebay. Seem to be plenty of 12's around but not many 7's

I like the 12" too though can see the 7" is the one for niter play What value on a 7"? Several copies of both the red and the gold 12" versions currently on discogs etc for under £100 but no 7" Anyone know why two label colours? Both are NIA 1004 and both apparently originals, though presumably one a first pressing Wonder where I read it had been played at M's?

Did you get the 45 Mal? What did you pay for it? Seems to be rarer than the 12"

Brilliant, thanks Arthur - so presumably you were playing it at Clifton Hall? A Wigan tune at all? As mentioned I seem to recall reading it was played in M's

Belting tune - memories? Seem to recall reading it was played at Wigan / M's - anyone confirm? Presumably the 7" rather than 12"? Great 12" mix though Also on a Dave Thorley Stafford playlist on Chalky's website Cheers, Chris.

Now sold for £140 thanks!

For info the light on the photo makes the scuff on the 'How can I' side look worse than it is

Used but definitely not abused copy - quite a few scuffs and marks under a bright light but both sides still play well, 'Heartache' side marginally cleaner sounding on my system Have tried to photograph to show vinyl -see attachments below Happy to refund if not 100% happy £140 or reasonable offer Paypal as gift plus £7 special delivery post.

Her voice is still superb though if you check recent youtube clips - doesn't sound any different

You want to ask them if they'll book her while she's here You don't get much for a fiver these days

Anyway it was £55

Why wouldn't you?

Luckily managed to get two tickets for Manchester at face value, but unbelievably annoying that as usual most are now being offered for 'resale' at double the price via the same website (Ticketmaster / Get Me In). How they are allowed to take the piss on such a massive scale is absolutely beyond me

Joan Regan 'Don't talk to me about love' (Columbia) always a funny one for me - opens up like the best record you've ever heard, then her singing knocks the wind right out of your sails. Worth it though for the intro and the instrumental section halfway through - great strings

Love David Huff 'Mary Brown' as you know Ian - rarely off my turntable last year, though maybe not immediate or black enough for some Couple from me worthy of more attention IMO, both on Jubilee:- Jimmy Ricks - The long long arm of love Don Gardner - I'm in such misery Cheers, Chris

If Paramount Four is one of the best discoveries of recent years this has to run it close Wonder why it was canned? Top notch production, strings, etc - no bargain basement recording

It does appear on that big list of Mecca spins on Colin's website though

Great responses on here - anyone add some more M's tunes? The more eclectic the better

Great stuff, thanks - a lot of Wheel / 6t's type sounds I guess. Presumably the more poppy white stuff like Spencer Davis or Frankie Valli 'Opus' would have been played in some more mainstream clubs as new releases and were revival sounds at Mr M's?

Been re-reading this excellent thread and this post stood out If you went to Mr M's what tunes do you remember always being on? What about the blue eyed stuff like Paintbox or John Fred that seems to be forgotten now? Really interesting to hear what was played Cheers, Chris.

Also Dushons ' You better think it over' is a clear re-hash of Martha & Vandellas 'Nowhere to run' - in fact you could sing nowhere to run over the top of the Dushons!

Always thought this was one of the most blatant ones - Christine Cooper 'Heartaches away my boy' quite clearly lifts the main piano / vibes riff from Supremes 'Stop in the name of love' from the previous year - surprised they got away with it

Dave, I'll have a set of 66,67,68, 71 and 72 please if still available Cheers, Chris.
