    Late 70s early 80s US import 12s were great. 33.3 and only pressed on one side. Stupidly expensive though. Great content too, if like me you like full on cheesy disco!

    Yes, a couple of interesting bass entries that are not the obvious choice but work really beautifully.

    I have a strange memory - remembers things it doesn't really need to, and you having cited JO several times is one of the things stuck in there. What I need in the supermarket, sadly, isn't!!

    Funnily enough I thought of you when I saw it!

    A friend posted this on Facebook - someone has isolated a single audio track from an SACD, giving just lead vocals, bass and drums. It makes for a fascinating listen.

    Looks fabulous. Great build (as always)!

    Looks like Allan Clarke and Graham Nash called themselves The Hollies for a couple of gigs prior to getting signed which is when Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliot joined. So yes, technically, there are no originals, but a bit tenuous if you ask me.

    No, tried to help her with a side project, then Curved Air decided to get back together, did Isle of Wight, but someone had a big issue with Sonja having someone working for her. So petty I quietly backed out. You are right about Francis though, shame he didn't want to be involved, but that was for the same reasons/person as me!

    Looks like Francis Monkman had got his facts wrong when I was chatting with him - now fancy that

    Strictly speaking, I think Curved Air fit this category. I believe that Sonja Kristina was not in the very first line up, but now sometimes goes out under the band name.

    Menudo

    Well that was something special. Thanks for the heads up.

    Fantastic Negrito - Have you lost your mind yet? Bob Dylan - Rough & rowdy ways.

    Not going down that road but suggesting a detour...I like both. They sound different. Neither sounds 'better'.
  15. Mykesbass
    Nostalgia - pure and simple. Dreadful medium!

    Just looked her up, having never heard of her before. What a tragic tale, but yes, what a beautiful voice. Here's that OGWT clip.

    Looks like that's a 'het' then 🇷🇺

    Quickly followed by a new ceiling. Slight flaw in your plan Chris 😎

    Someone ended up with a splendid bread board.

    Had a fun trip over to Modena to organise a photo shoot for a PH album. Lovely guy, wanted to present PH as a band, and the gig there was the only chance to get them all together. Terrible hungover shoot the morning after the gig, so bought espresso and grappa all round, improved things no end 😏

    Loving the main drummer, Karl Wright.

    'appreciate bands who are not only tighter than a gnat's chuff but have the chops to boot' = The Meters 😎

    The Police worked pretty well as a unit for me. Loads of others I'm sure, but they are the ones that immediately spring to mind.
  24. Mykesbass
    One for the teenagers 😄

    @Nail Soup this was the 'old' male vocal - old as in sounded like an old recording. This is the simple, but I found quite hypnotic bassline:
