Or trying to save a Burning Piano!

These days you'd be more likely to die by walking past some flats and the kid lands on your head! Sean

Sounds Great Ken. More Power to 'em! Have a great one Buddy! Sean

That's very rare footage of me and Tats at the Youth Club! Sean

Well............ seeing as you're asking! I'd happily give it a go! Sean

Neither. It Nutted him!

Nope - he drank Hemlock and was poisoned. A Greek tragedy! Or was that Socrates? Aeschylus was killed by a Tortoise. Sean

Think its clear its South African David. Just making Mr Rounce work for his reputation! Sean

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think you've bought a load of Oz Pressings from a dodgy South African mate. mmmmmmmmm Then again.... Antipodes 'technically' includes South Africa.......... so I'm still right on the second shout! Do you have the same pressing as this one then Tony? Sean

Just checked - It's the same coupling as Brunswick BR 18 (Sweetest Feeling / Higher & Higher) which was released in the UK in May 1975 and was in the charts for 8 weeks reaching number 25. Follows to me that this was issued on the strength of the UK 'success'. And I'm definately thinking Antipodean! Sean

mmmmmmmmmmm I'm going by the Intersong Pty Ltd detail That's the Publishing for Intersong in Australia. iNTERSONG PTY. LTD., 225 CLARENCE STREET, SYDNEY What indicates its South African, Tony? Certainly looks to me its a mid 70's Aussie (or perhaps NZ - as Ken suggests) press of two classic sides. Do the Bohannon / Al Green etc SA 45's say 'Intersong PTY Ltd' on the label? Sean

Don't think it will be a Boot. Came out twice... on Canyon 1000 and Maple 1000. Was an old Bradford spin of mine. The guy I bought it off was raving about the "Taking All The Love I Can" side. Turned it over and found this moody, atmospheric, group beauty on the flip. Smashing tune! Sean

I have the same 45 Andy. It's a legitimate Test Pressing. I also have a full LP on Acetate from this session, which remains unreleased. Sean

That's no excuse for being out of touch, Roger. Do try and keep up. Sean

Link to Lyfe Jennings "Cry" for anyone who might wonder who I'm on about... Sean

Three mate, 1. Lyfe 268-192 in 2004 2. Phoenix - in 2006 3. Lyfe Change - in 2008 Plus the special editions. Agree, a lot of his stuff is a bit 'iffy'. All the trademark 'Hey Yo Yo' does my head in... but he does have a remarkable voice and for the handful of tracks where he delivers, vocally, its some of the best 'Raw Soul' stuff I've heard from this century. Sean

A lot more than two my little Modern Soul Meister! There've been THREE on his own and many collaborations with the likes of Alicia Keyes, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Talib Kweli etc... And I've got 'em all! Hows your Lyfe Jennings collection doing? Sean

I've got everything by him. "Keep Your Head Up" is an anthem. Also check out his "Smile" track... been playing it out on a regular basis and always gets a Positive reaction! Awesome singer. Sean

Looks very nice! Sean

Not in the UK but that's Australian. Sean

How about a Bill Brandon, Jock?

Oh... and I know you were kidding Brett... ...but I wasn't! Sean

"Philly Soul" was inscribed on my brand spanking new UK CBS copy of the O'Jays "Time To Get Down". It was the first indication that Philly International was coming to the UK. I can still recall how I got all giddy at the prospect. Looking back, I must have been one sad Fecker... ...except that such stuff still excites the fool out of me! Sean
