Ian, thanks for bending the rules, you should be careful though for suggesting such a thing, your post could get deleted LOL. I will take one of my Tamla Motown singles, it's my all time favourite.

If I were stranded on a desert island listening to most of the above, I would welcome a loaded revolver to put an end to it all. lol

Oh! I could go for that But in H.D. & slow motion

I got it second-hand from a stall on the old Central Market.

Was it an ex-juke box record with the big hole in the middle where you had to buy an insert to play it on your home record player?

The first record i brought was from Woolworths 4/6 at the time I could not afford the 7/6 for a record by the real artist,  can't remember what it was though. The second one I did pay 7/6 and it was "Poetry in Motion"  by Jonny Tiltson.        not sure how to spell his surname.
