  1. Just finished playing the new release of an old album from Bobbie Gentry The Delta Sweetie ,very disappointed with it, one disc is a remixed version of the second disc which is the 1960s original mono record, both discs have bonus tracks added . I found it boring and a waste of fourteen pounds i bought it after reading a rave revue in a daily news paper. I think we all need more details of the warm blonde.😄
  2. Just downloaded the album from the first two tracks it reminds me of The pixies from the eighties I'm going to keep it on for a few days could be a keeper, thanks for posting.
  3. If something unexpected happened my dad used to say "Chuffing Heeley Palace" Some one dressed up was described as "The Duke Of Darnall" Someone dizzy or drunk "He don't know if he's on this earth or fullers" Something not vertical was "Cockled over to one side" Some one skint "didn't have two half-crowns to scratch his arse with" why would you want to? Some one who pinched things was "a bit light fingered" or "found things before they were lost" School teachers favourite saying was "empty vessels make most sound" that ones spot on. A quiet pub was a "dead oil" Chip shop was a "chip oil" A pub was that was full on a dinner time, it was like a "Colliers Monday".
  4. Got Dr.Wu playing now, some great rock covers live recording from billy bobs 81 club Texas .
  5. when will pub owner realise some people actually hate football and would not enter a football showing pub if the beer were free.
  6. Been playing the Mojo Blues Band -Blues Parade 2000 first class double boogie woogie blues album, never heard them before well worth a listen. Nice laid back style great for late night listening.
  7. Don't very often agree with you pal but she is a great entertainer and deserves all the success she has earned ,welcome at our club any night she fancies.
  8. I would just like to remind all readers of my original post, it seems to have been hijacked ,basically all I said was I prefer Barnsley to Sheffield and still do .
  9. Finally got back to Barnsley today but was disappointed to find apart from the deli the shops were shut in the new indoor market ,the Alambre was open with most shops trading without queueing .The progress in the last four months has been amazing all the work on the main area has been completed and it looks so modern ,almost downtown L.A. Bonus the busker was playing some Dylan .
  10. Been on a nostalgia trip today back to the seventies playing the excellent album from Badfinger * Magic Christian Music* strange title for a great rock album guaranteed to put most rock fans off buying it .The album kicks off with the world wide smash hit Come and get it the b side of this one was the number 7 track on here Rock of all ages, quite a varied selection of material the heavier side of Paul McCartney's influence is never far away .The band were the first non Beatle artists on the Apple label but were hit with many tragedies after the Apple label was wound up ,including suicides. They never recovered which was a shame as the band showed great promise ,well worth a listen ,as with most albums a few padding out tracks but some real jems if you like a good harmony rock band this is for you.
  11. This is a common problem ,you know about it, the locals know about it, asda know about it, but the police either know about it or choose to ignore it ,either situation is a reflection of the times we live in.
  12. My comment was of course relating to the fast progress the builders have made and not to be taken literally.
  13. The last time we were there the steel work for the new cinema looked complete, I wouldn't be surprised if they are showing films now.
  14. For what it costs you would do better using a UseNet service *a.b.sounds.mp3.classic-rock* is one of the better groups with posts going back to 2012 still on the *news.ewek.nl* news server via Newsbin pro there are several lossless groups posting flac. files ,but most groups post at 320 nowadays anyway.
  15. Would love to know when lead plumbing was discontinued ,i have just done a refurb of my bathroom and had to rip out the old lead water, waste and gas pipes the bath waste pipe had rotted through and was soaking the hall ceiling ,the house was built about 1900. Sounds daft but i love the smell of carbolic soap, don't suppose its still sold.
  16. Still not been back to Barnsley shopping Mrs choogling doesn't fancy mixing with the crowds just yet ,if anyone has been recently ,is the market open yet?
  17. New one on me Ana Popovic, Serbian guitarist American based, listening to her album Live for Live pleasantly surprised by this one its a mix of fusion, rock and Hendrix riffs the first track is almost early Chicago track 17 at 13.50 mins is a medley of presumably her greatest hits the last track is heavy on the sax ,love it to bits.
  18. Another long lost favourite of mine from the eighties nineties were the pixies, I bought Santa Rosa after hearing it while queuing in HMV to pay for something else ,at the time I never went in a record shop with more than twenty quid in my pocket and rarely came out with out blowing the lot. Santa Rosa is so well produced it sounds good on any mid range hi-fi system but on a decent system it rocks, stand out tracks are Bone Machine and Where is my mind i was playing this on good old scratchy vinyl through an AR legend deck and an exposure x amp and some delta 30 speakers .Fancy some Dead On Arrival tomorrow with Words Without Action = Nothing , excellent example of Canadian punk this time on cd.
  19. Green On Red -Here comes the snakes, not played this one for ages forgot how good this is, from D.T blues to We had it all ,cant believe this album is thirty years old only seems like yesterday when i bought it of a mate for thirty pence .
  20. Playing the *Flanders and Swann collection* a 1999 release of some fine live performances from 1957 ,good light hearted listening.
  21. The trouble with having so many albums to check out is I become weary of the blandness ,I know some albums need time to grow on the listener but life is to short, I have resorted to playing the first couple of tracks.
  22. Enjoying a tribute album* John Prine in Memorial* not my usual type of music but well worth the effort ,I have been previewing the back catalogue of twenty three Uriah Heep albums *Demons and Wizards* is the stand out one so far.
  23. If you look closely at the screw heads you may see a pin in the middle where the bit fits they are a tamperproof version .
  24. Been playing " A tribute to David Bowie" a great bunch of covers put together by Howard Stern .It needs a couple of plays to get used to the different interpretations of classic bowie tracks ,but well worth a listen.
  25. That's a good thing about Sheffield, in a local no one will mess with someone else's property, a pal of mine stopped going in my local for about eighteen years, when he returned his snooker cue was still in the by then new rack and he still had the key for it on his key ring ,that old scooter could have been the same, over the years no one knew who owned it but no one touched it, respect.
