Hi Suz I have memories of playing in a huge field full of Cowslips when I was very small. We made necklaces out of buttercups and checked to see if you liked butter by holding a buttercup under each others chins. There was a small wood - we used to be scared of getting lost, and we built a den in a small dyke. The roof was made of some corrugated steel sheets - no idea where we got those from. To be a child again - seems an eternity ago. Peter

Wow! Lovely Suz. P x

Had a bit of a scare earlier. There was only one chick in the nest - the other three were nowhere to be seen. After about an hour one returned, and now the other two have returned. They do start going for a walk around that ledge as they get more daring - but it is a long way down! They also get a little fed up with each other and like to get their own space.

There's a couple of originals in that list Nick https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/346585455?ev=bp_det

Hi Ian Funny how one record leads to another, and how one record, which really gets to you opens your ears to a particular artist(s) voice, who, hitherto that point in time hadn't even featured on your radar. This Isley Brothers thread(s) being the perfect example - well, in my case anyway. If that makes sense. Funny old world innit. Peter

It's a cracking soul record for sure - I'd never heard it until recently. Yes, there's the green boot knocking around.

Yes the box set is an official release but was album only up until that point - thanks John and Ernie for replying.

Give us a clue!? 60's,70's - male female. Crossover, stomper?

Cheers Kev Got one of the 45's from the box set now. Peter

Lots of the Kent reissues on Discogs. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/2720340?ev=rb Peter

From a previous SS thread - not my comment but Trevs; "i remember neal clowes playing the larry allen with female backing at bradford queens hall in the early 90's, i was sat with tony coleby at the time, tony went off to investigate & apparantly, it was neals daughter singing the backing, as neal was quite friendly with chris king it was probally done at chris's studio, i remember going down to see chris a few years later & he played me a frank wilson / chris clark duet of "do i love you" which he'd sat up all night splicing together, it was amazing, frank wilson and chris clark sung alternate verses & he dubbed both there voices on the chorus, it was a real professional job, you couldnt hear the joins, chris was always messing about with things like that, he certainly knew his way round a mixing desk" Peter

Could well have been Nev Chalky - I can't remember.

My earliest all niters/dayers were Cleethorpes, Derby Assembly Rooms and events round Notts etc. Thats where I rememeber it from - memory could be shot though as it was a long time ago! The Derby Assembly Rooms never gets talked about - it was heaving with a bouncing dance floor.

One of those great early memory records for me. Still love it. Twas a huge record in my memory. P

I'll vouch for Ernie,

Nev had one Bob. Peter

That's what the Look At Your Box Forum is for - debating stuff about records!

I suspect it might be that we are from different regions of the country but I can't help but detect a little "attitude" in your post!

Wow! I have wings - and extremely large feet!

The Royal Memphis Soul : Hi Records Box Set is awesome. Peter

There's a minter for sale on the web from a well known seller which probably puts Chalky's price about right.

The chicks are growing really quickly now - that nest will not look so big soon! All four appear to be doing really well and they are starting to look out of the nest into the big world.

That's a great track isn't it. Great stuff Steve - keep em coming. Thanks Peter

One on discogs - can't comment on price as I don't know what it goes for. P
