Yes, did think pricing seemed a bit off, but didn't go back and check or crunch the numbers. That's pretty steep.

Some nice, usable tones there. REALLY DON'T NEED ONE!

Thought I'd seen most of the great Tom Jones clips - Janis Joplin is a good one, but this is new to me and an absolute corker!

Ooh, coming my way! I wonder which town? Just seen - Haywards Heath, next town up from me.

Just about the only thing I could dance to back in the day!

I see where you are coming from - some of those crazy old Eastern European models spring to mind, but I still like it a lot.

It was written in a conversational style, and yes, from a PM from a friend, probably wasn't as clear as it needed to be. Sorry.

And we sometimes wonder why there are so few of you on here!

Sounds like the voice of experience 😄

35.5mm - that is small! Got to love the mix of imperial and metric in the spec, and the use of a decimal point of an inch!

Anyone else see the Bass DIrect newsletter? This is slightly bonkers but I love it! https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Nordstrand_Acinonyx_Bass.html

OK, all 11 hours and 5 minutes now available! Will keep it updated. Have fun 😎 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/59RhYT5dLPwboS9u3njL4S?si=P2uDVC3MQQaMQACfEHilGQ

This was the one I was going to recommend, by Ed Friedland (Hal Leonard being the publisher).

That's great, and like the not too nerdy video.

OK, up to and including page 10 now on the spotify playlist - 136 songs, 9+ hours of reggae! There have been a few more I couldn't find on this tranche - @ubit you seem to like some rarities that don't seem to have made their way on to Spotify, apologies for their omission. If the artist but not the track is on Spotify (e.g. @Reggaebass one of your B sides) I have put a substitute track in, usually the most popular. Take 5 - whilst I am not doing any editing except for only adding one song per artist, I have culled the multiple versions of Take 5. If anyone who contributed a version wants the band they posted represented on the playlist please post a new track by them here and I'll hapily add. Will see if I can reach the end this evening (if you all stop posting for a few hours ).

Think I must be mad, but I've decided to put a Spotify playlist together of this thread. 4 pages in so far. One track per artist - I thought if you like th eone track you can investigate more yourself. A few where I've had to choose a different track from the one in the thread as they are not all on Spotify. I will carry on with this - but here's the first 40+ songs, all 3 hours and 27 minutes. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/59RhYT5dLPwboS9u3njL4S?si=dMaJvNNkS86vEjP5HfNz7Q

Sell but expect to take a huge hit on the price. So glad I love my Shuker!

There are some better forgotten

OK you have just proven to me that @Bill Wy,Aye,Man was actually right with Groove is in the Heart for the same reason. My upstairs neighbour at the time bought the 12" version of this when it came out and proceeded to use it for her warm up before going out clubbing (every night except Monday). She would play it several times each night for a good few weeks, and yet somehow I still love it!

Couple of good contenders on here already - OP's Black Box, New Order, Deelite, but would have to be something from the peak disco years for me - Donna Summer, Brothers Johnson, or of course, Chic.

Thank you, but nothing to apologise for 👍🏼

Not you, the OP - this should be in general discussion. Sorry, bit of a pet peeve as I really try and steer clear of OT!

Why Off Topic? Thanks whoever moved this to the right place 👍🏼

Fabulous album. Sad when Oteil left but saw them at the Palladium with Brandon Boone on bass and they were still great.

Glad you said that 😄 Oh and 5/5 would be a semibreve and a crochet.
