Will do & very probably will.
BTW I should have mentioned 'Reds Not Blues' was recorded with and produced by Mike Westergaard of '3 Blokes from F Block' thus the connection to your collection photo

Reds Not Blues, by Ralph Clayton & Francesca Payne from the album Reds Not Blues

Very interesting and here's my song about going to a game at The Valley 'Reds Not Blues' featuring Francesca Payne on vocals.
"Sometimes feeling the heartache
Other times on top of the world
Pure emotion
In slow motion
Always reds not blues" #cafc #SEHeaven

Aladdin Sane Piano Solo
YouTube video by The Rock'n'Roll Alien Aladdin Sane Piano Solo

Cover of one of my favourite bits of one of my favourite Bowie songs - the remarkable Mike Garson solo, maybe the most astonishing piano part in rock.

If this isn't your thing, nothing about this will make any sense at all.

I know it well but not seen that. The original was improvised and recorded in one take so it must have taken a bit of time to work out

Following a feature on BBC South Today on 25th Jan about Tuckton House in Bournemouth and the part it played in the early life of Melita Norwood I've written a bit more about it and recall the unlikely friendship with my gran when they both lived in Bexleyheath:
