I'm a big fan of Bettye. Nice one Martyn. Peter

Where's the fecking train Dave?

No.

Thanks for the replies. To me the vocals sound a bit different too - but that's no guarantee of anything. I'm tone deaf!

Nice scans mate - thanks. I do like those Linda labels. Got to be the Majestics. Peter

Nice record Trev.

Just listening to some old 60's stuff which I happen to like - prompted by something or another. So, probably been done to death, and may be a stupid question - which is ok, but what's the story behind the two versions of I Love Her So Much It Hurts? First, second, rarity? I think people have shot me down previously for saying that I like the Majestics - I like em both, but the Majestics just pinches it. Any thoughts, comments or views? Cheers Peter

Great stuff Chalks - thnks to you and John. I'd forgotten that Adam used to spin the Treat Her Like a Lady record - sounds good still full blast! Peter

Willie Clayton - Your Sweetness Peter

The great, great Willie Clayton. Cheers Andy. I might post one of his up. Peter

Stunner Dave. Peter

Nothing to compare with Roy and Barry - and I have posted this previously. Had a pair of denim patchwork bags back in the day - very baggy they were too. They weren't everyone's cup of tea. In fact my mum, who never swore, said when she first saw them "Our Pete, you look a right twat in them". Mm, thanks ma. Anyway in a nutshell I was about to come down the stairs one evening on my way out and one foot got caught up the other trouser leg - fell right down the stairs. Be mum came rushing out to see what had happpened, took one look, and just said, "You silly little bastard - I told you". She never swore me mam. I wasn't badly injured but fellt like a right prat. Went off to a niter at the Birmingham Locarno if I recall and had the piss taken out of me summat rotten by the more modern jazz/funk crowd who I think were downstairs - can't remember. It was a shit niter though - hardly any one there. I gave the fecking trousers away the next day and never wore bags again. I think it was about the same time that I had the confidence not to be bothered about being shit at back drops and stuff!

Never really a record that I've been fond of. Scotty from Donny always begged to differ if I recall. Peter

Blimey. I'm sure I've got a blue one somewhere - might have a look in a bit. Always thought it was dodgy.

Brilliant Barry. Peter

Bless you Brummy Mick. That made me smile though. When I lived in Lincolnshire I used to organise summer beach parties - not huge afffairs they were just a few lads and lasses, maybe's about twenty or thirty of us. Big fire on the beach, loads of booze and some soul music from a ghetto blaster - thinking back now they were well fecking cool. Anyway, one of the girls - either Anna or Hayley from memory, span round with a bottle of wine in her hand and smacked me right in the mouth! Didn't knock my two front teeth out but chippped em both! I felt like I'd been disfigured for life - I was such a vain bastrard back then. They're not huge chips and I've grown to accept them over the years. Hope yer bridge looks good matey! Peter

Yep, that's very nice Dave. We've all been short changed at 2.07! Peter

Another one from me today. Keeping with Prince Philip Mitchell theme - Something for the Head. Now not much matches the superb Bobby Womack but I do prefer PPMs version of this one. Both great records - what do you think? It is PPM's song. Peter

Hi Swifty. Keep on Striving is the side for me. Great soul music. Peter

Love the intro Paul - new to my ears. Which is why when she said "Who is it" and he said "It's me" I didn't know who it was! Nice one. Peter

I know you can Mr Pickles - I've been with you when you've experienced the same shit too. I have memories of you, Shippo, Cleethorpes Winter Gardens ............. and a small white van. I hope you're well buddy.

Nice Mal - new to me I think. It ain't bad - it good. The man can sing - and he got soul.

I'm still none the Still don't get it Andy - sorry. The link I posted up has backing vocals and is smoother - that is the record I have. The other version - on Mr Fish's podcast and also on tinternet is very different but also has backing vocals. So - which one have I got and is there another version without any backing vocals?
