That will be "Did You Tell Him" on White Cliffs. Sean

So Who is the president of China? Not Court davis... is it? Ok... so which came first... East Coast or Kresla?

I'm neither 'for it' or 'against it' mate.... I was just contemplating that your local DJ mate reckons that Pete (for example) should spend a large part of his life looking for an ex group member to bung, before he cuts the carver, to make it, somehow, legit. Particularly as we're all (as someone alluded to earlier) copying stuff onto CD or tape (for personal use) on a regular basis! The mind boggles!

PMSL

I did. I understood them completely. Now, perhaps, you could reflect on mine? I acknowledged, that, since I was working from memory that I had not mentioned the 'Words' side. But the fact is, the East Coast 45 and the Kresla 45 share a side.... or do they not? Or were you talking about the record?

Can't see anyone ever turning up Tuska titles in quantity. But if anybody ever does... it'll be Ted. While you can (if you can) get yerselves a Jimmy Tig. Quality! Sean

So we agree. The East Coast 45 and the Kresla 45 share a side. I was working from memory. Had the record for decades... but it's not one I dig out frequently, I must admit Infact... it's just not very good at all.

What? So in order to replicate the record on a carver, it would be OK to pay ONE of the artists an 'agreeable fee' and that would make it all OK? What was your friend, the 'local DJ' thinking of? Does your local DJ friend believe that Pete Smith has to find a group member (to bung a brown envelope to) everytime he gets a carver cut?

Not sure about that, Chris. Have you heard him sing?

CD was it Sean, I thought it was a country n western station on the radio Huh! You didn't mind a bit at the time! Course you've never been the same since you moved out to Lincolnshire. Here's that nice pic I took of you, hobnobbing with the local Mayor! As you said, it's just like Mississippi... only but a bit less classy! Anyway, my chunky chum, move over will ya. You're taking up two thirds of the bloody PeaPod. Tats_In_Lincs.bmp

Ouch... You got me there cobber. Got a scan? Is it the solid middle - beige RCA?

So do I, Its a quark! Not sure about the first one though. Is it the Platters?

Phwooooooooooar! Some list that Andy!!! Smilin' just thinkin' about some o' them! Sean

Which, in itself, just goes to show what technical incompetents we SS CD swappers are! And we love it! Sean

Think Chris Anderton had a James Walsh on his list today But I might be wrong.

Hi Graham, I'll check tomorrow if you're on my 'already posted' list. If you are... it should be with you tomorrow. If you're not... it will be with you on Tuesday! Sean

Might not be so spooky, my Bovine buddy. Think he might just have been trying to steal my thunder... rather like you did his! I took the 'Master' of the CD to Memphis to road test out there, last month! We had it on constantly during the trip. So to be fair, he did have a sneak preview... before he claimed 'em as his own... All we need now is for you to copy the tracks for your 'Soul Mates Database' and the whole world will be a better and more soulful place. Cheers mate... and enjoy the other 11 Sean

Thanks John, As you're a man of great taste, I thought you'd enjoy it! They've all been sent out, bar one, as I'm one name short on my shipping list - so if anyone's not received there copy please pm me your address. Thanks for your patience - and your CD contributions - one and all! And thanks in particular to Chris for pulling it all together. Another stunning SS CD swap! Sean

Close Rod, it was "Maybe This Time". UK ERC label. Came out on US Queen City 56545 on the flip of Oakland Stroke "You Just Fall Down" in 1975. Sean

Yeh - but you gotta pay a premium for a 'smoke and pet free house!'

Strongly suggest you visit FAME studios and Muscle Shoals Sounds studios in Muscle Shoals Alabama. Well worth a slight divert to visit this Hallowed Ground... In Memphis, you MUST go and see the MASQUERADERS at the Blues City Cafe - Fri & Sat shows 7:00 to 9.45 (on both nights) at the top end of Beale Street opposite BB KINGs. They are still MAGNIFICENT, put on a great show - and the ribs are pretty serious there too! James Govan and his rhythm section perform at the Rum Boogie Cafe on Beale Street most nights. The show is INCREDIBLE! Stax Studios (Museum) is also a must. You won't need me to explain why. Just go there! Plus, if you're keen on culture, visit the National Civil Rights Museum sited at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis where Dr Martin Luther King was assasinated. There's Record shops a plenty. "Shangri La" & "River Records" are well worth a visit. New Orleans has a few decent record shops including Louisiana Music Factory and Jim Russells. And of course Bourbon Street in the French Quarter has loads of great bars and music. Whatever you do, I'm sure you'll have the time of your life! Sean

Got good news for you then! "Living In The Footsteps" is on the flip of "Hey World". Awesome version! Sean

Serves you right Shaun... fer living so far away from where the action is! Our Mailcoach only heads sarf once a month! Be with you soon, mate. Promise! Sean

Yeh... and me ... and he's still got the sweater and the Damart too! Sean
