  1. Back with the old beef Beefy hey? Tell you what, take it up with Craig - it's his post. As it happens I have loads and loads of motown CDs and 45s and, Like Craig, as I dig em out a new favourite emerges.
  2. I thought it was Andy Clifford! Brill! Don't suppose anyone knows any pubs in Awsworth? Do we know if he stayed with his Missis?
  3. Just in case anyone likes stax there is 'Respect Yourself and a Stax tour on BBC 4 tonight!

  5. I sent you a message about it, 'coz they don't want publicity! I'll resend it.
  6. Pete it's kind of 60s 'jive' talk - Memphis slang - it's code, it's very rude and other than that my lips are sealed. !secret!
  7. OK - lets go for the big one - altogether now......................'Talking 'bout My Girl'. Even if you hate Motown you have to love that song! Although.....I CAN think of two people that won't !laughing!
  8. He also did 'Love is a wonderful thing' and that's great too!
  9. See now, was it Sultana by Titanic or Titanic by Sultana - good tune though! !congrats!
  10. Aha - but which CD? and did you take a look at the website?
  11. A little bit more temptation - 'Ain't too proud to beg' 'Beauty's only skin deep' and 'The way you do the things you do'
  12. Okay..........................6345-789 and Funky Broadway and one of the best Atlantic tracks ever - Otis and Carla - Lovey Dovey - which is on King and Queen......Sam and Dave - Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody and then back to the Hippo and the amazing records that I used to hear there - Love is after me - Charlie Rich and sixty minutes of your love - Homer banks !!
  13. So, I did a google and found it - it's brill!

  15. Wright's Coal Tar Soap..............and Vim
  16. Never heard of it!! Is it on a compilation - I might have it already and not know! How about one that everyone (nearly) will know? Down on Funky street - Arthur Conley
  17. Funnily enough I heard Eamon Holmes talking about LSD (no - not that LSD) on the radio - he was trying to work out what an old-time paper round would be in 'proper' money! He thought there were 12 shillings to the pound, so it was interesting to hear him trying to work it out. Bet some of the folks on here had paper rounds - I wanted one but being Tom-Thumb-sized they wouldn't take me on, so I had to look at the boys in the shop and dream.................. I used to be there to buy my beloved copies of the Beezer and the New Hotspur.
  18. Yeah - but who's going to be the one to tell them?
  19. Does 68FB mean something?

  21. I expect you probably would
  22. Also, I didn't wear specs then - so I couldn't learn to read becasue I couldn't see the words - everyone thought I was stupid till someone asked me about it. So, they tested my eyes and got me some glasses - turned out I was still stupid - but luckily - too young to care. :smile:
  23. Me mum had a real Davey's miners almp (I htink that's what they were) it didn't work but we all thought it was brill.
  24. I do remember the sleep - on little camp beds - and the tiny toilets - and the (half?) pint of milk or orange juice - the milk was always warm and yukky so I went for the orange juice! Because of my total lack of musical talent I got to play the triangle in the school band!
