I have that one. I'd like to have it on vinyl but it's not particularly common/cheap.

If that's the Epic CD it has the first mix of the title track on there which is replaced on many vinyl versions of the album. The EMI100 edition has at least two alternate track mixes: a curious release!

I like Student Demonstration Time! My music teacher played it to the class years back at school. I don't recall why but it was not as part of the album.

Prunella Scales, who has died aged 93, was superb as Sybil in Fawlty Towers and in so many other roles. Here’s my musical tribute to a wonderful actress.

Thumbs up for Buffalo Stance and The Passions.

@rockingbob.bsky.social Hey Bob, do you know where the stereo mix of Freddie/Dreamers first album came from? I've not seen it on vinyl anywhere, only a 2fer CD where the stereo mix has the tracks a little bit in the wrong order? Also, any sign of a Brown & Porters stereo mix that you know of?

On snot green vinyl?

Does When You're In Love... have Dooley Jones on the back?

Nolans = banger

The rest, errrrrrrr

More from the singles box please!

Oh that sounds nasty. Here's to a full recovery.

Bargain!

I've cleared a backlog of poo and paper from our sewer manhole today. I'm feeling a little fragile but I'm glad it could be done mostly with water and not with the fork and spade I was preparing to use. Also, dog poo vomit was a worse cleaning experience I think.

Uath Lochans from Farleitter Crag, a recent one from an early stakeout overlooking these bonnie lochans. A long chilly wait before the warm light finally broke through the dreich and spread over the Inshriach forest #Scotland #Cairngorms #Rothiemurchus www.damianshields.com

I really like Steppin' Out from this album. Frustrating that the 7 inch has a clean intro but the (UK) 12 inch with the full length version has a quick fade up from the segued album version.

I'm quite fond of Real To Real Cacophony. I picked up a tatty copy of New Gold Dream for maybe £2 a few years back but haven't played it much beyond knowing it's too clicky but a bit pricey to get a nice copy. Hearing Love Song on a compilation in the last 5 or 10 years or so was a woah moment.

Genuinely thought that was Dennis Waterman for a moment.

I love Tesla Girls and Never Turn Away from Junk Culture.

Yes! I did a search due to his composer credit and checked it out. I prefer the more produced Summer Wine (although credited to John Perry solo on 7") version.

Checking out some albums on an old CBS inner sleeve has put me on a trail which lead to this...

Ah, The Donkeys. That was the first 45 of theirs I bought albeit within the last ten years or so. I was intrigued as it was on a major label from the 80s and I didn't recognise it. I really liked it, but it turns out it might not even be the best one!

The first time I heard Extended Souvenir I didn't spot the difference! I like how vandalised the Spanish sleeve is there.

Post lunch bonus round of #WeekendSingles

Particularly appreciating the Orbison and Benatar 45s.

Quick #WeekendSingles comparison to the Harry J label version reveals the Trojan sounds a bit better (this could be down to condition, despite initial thoughts) and appears to have an earlier fade.

Ah, I haven't played Slight Return in years. Only have it on CD single, mind you.

Good morning! Today's #WeekendSingles brings a Bob & Marcia single without the Crosby, Stills, Nash credit (& different b-side to the Trojan single) and a possible Mexican Folk promo single. Playing both sides, clockwise from top left and again for the second picture.

I'd probably go for Actually and Yes.

Nearly had a US reissue of Walk On By in my selection today.

Looks interesting!
