Great track mate - very under rated Mr Miles. Check out Got To Find Miss Right - LP Only, absolute stonker!

Bugger! I did this post last night but forgot to hit the submit reply button! Ah, well, pissed again. Innit. It's the start of the weekend, dust down the deck, and crank up the volume into overdrive. Move your ass! J. Jocko ‎– I'm Gettin' Over - ave it.....................

Yep, well done Rob. You've been hard but fair taskmaster at times but have kept the sales forum relatively problem free. All the best mate. Pete

Yes Dave. Where I grew up. Albert Gray owned a really nice set of gallopers, the big wheel and a dodgem track.

Cracker that Bruv. Pete

As a kid I worked on a set of gallopers for about five consequetive summers - weekends and school holidays. Became great friends with the Showmen family who owned them - the Grays. They really looked after us - doing little but important things like making packed lunches for school trips when my mum was in hospital (which was often). My dad was dead and we were really hard up. I wasn't used to such posh snap! Pete

Cheers mate. I spent quite a lot of time there and on the Isle Of Wight where they build the fabulous boats. Had a few great times taking a B Class Atantic out and bombing round water between Portsmouth and the IOW. I was a fundraising manager for them - also went out of a few rescues on the East Coast in a Mersey Class - Skegness and a Trent Class at Spurn Point. Atlantic Mersey Class Trent Class Ahoy me shipmates!

I could be mistaken but is that the RNLI national headquarters in the background. I've been there many times - I used to work for the RNLI in the early 90's. Peter

Nice pick. Scroll down to to see my pick which is culled from a Capitol compilation featuring this track too. I'm sure I have posted before but the two go together. Najee, with Janice Dempsey on vocals. Its So Hard To Let Go.

No problem mate. Didn't used to care for this Marie Knight offering but it's grown on me over the years. Certainly a big, big spin in its day.

Nice pick mate.

I concur Steve. Although it is definitely better than Muriel Day and numerous other records.

Yes, Gil Blanding a super soul record isn't it. Always reminds me of Nev Wherry and Soul Sam. I paid a little more than £4 for mine! Pete

Hi Dave I buy randomly - mainly 70's and crossover but I do buy 60's things that I like and that have some nostalgic value to me. I also like really down tempo stuff and deep. For example, I have recently bought a copy of Rules by Gil Blanding. My main criteria is that it has to be really soulful, and I dont like or buy 100 mile an hour stuff. I only started collecting again a few years ago after selling up - and my record price limit keeps going up! You will have a good flavour of the things I like/buy as I am regular contributor to your great Record of the Day thread. In fact that is one of the main sources for me picking up new things. I have also now got my first ever wants list which I add to from podcasts etc. I hope you are well Sir. Pete

Yep cracking tune. P

And its a shite record!

He's on here Andy. User name is Silver Fox.

Adey Pearce has got a minter.

How good is this. Mellow Moods - Tell Love Hello. From the pens of Gamble and Huff - turn it up loud!

Final one for now - from the same Bobby album. American Dream featuring a sample of Martin Luther King's history defining speech - absolutely stunning and a fantastic example of Bobby's brilliance. So, so powerful. Poetry indeed.

The wonderful Bobby Womack featuring Patti LaBelle from his 1984 Poet II album - Through The Eyes of a Child.

They dont get much more profound than this - particularly with the images on this video. Sam Cooke.

Great Roger. Not seen many of your great scans lately. I hope all is well mate. Peter

I wasnt far out Dave. I always (nearly) remember then name as its one of the first climbing plants that me and my ex planted in the garden - grows really really quickly, you could get a fence well covered in almost one season. The other reason why I nearly remember the name is that my next door neighbours grandson is called Reuben.
