Like both but prefer the earlier one.


Weird thing about versions - yes there are lots of them and that's as it should be but I thought I was going nuts seeing Susan Cadogan on one of those retrospective TOTP shows as the song was way faster than I remembered it - but this just shows there were two speeds back when the BBC were afraid of anything that wasn't upbeat enough: Trojan and TOTP.




Yes I know i shouldn't be posting this late but it's friday and i have just discovered tequilla martinis - here's 2 more versions of a song I loved back in the early 80s (local-ish band who never got any recognition) and I prefer the later, slightly more up-tempo and brassier version with the realistics


- original


- with the realistics

I've always liked ska, but I've been listening to a lot more reggae since I realised that it helps get my baby daughter to sleep. Alton Ellis and Max Romeo work well... as do the more soulful moments of Burning Spear, and any repetitive dub stuff (Lee Scratch Perry, Scientist). But I'm afraid to say, Sorehead, neither of us can get along with the 80s stuff with all the tinny DX7 synths.

I always liked and rock steady, and strangley I remember a friend of mine remarking on how some of these tunes were very much like childrens nursery ryhmes, could be why they have a soothing effect on little ones. I'm with you, 80's digital stuff is skank

Yeah I think it's the combination of nice melodies and harmonies, deep bass lines, and laid back vibe.. quite often it's simple music which is relaxing rather than stimulating.

    • what type of car was it, if they are in demand, might be helpful info.
    • Which has, unfortunately, closed. Au Ciel is much better than Gail's. Big bakery in the parade of shops near Rocca in Dulwich Village with all the seats outside - you can't miss it. Normally a big queue outside at weekends with walkers and cyclists topping up on carbs and coffee!
    • Hi, just to say there was an attempted car theft at the FH end of Underhill over Friday night. Without wanting to go into all the detail, they were pretty adamant and took a great deal of time to (try) take the car. The police came within minutes, and drove around etc.. The police said the car was in demand at the moment. I don’t know if that was brand or model. notwithstanding what the police said, all car owners should be vigilant and neighbours. These thieves were interrupted twice by neighbours, but the thieves came back etc and the neighbours didn’t put 2+2 together as to what was happening to the car. The thieves were two guys, on the cctv it looked like they were wearing grey, but it may have been black (cctv can look odd at night). My neighbours said they were black. They had a bag with them, no doubt carrying tools and they may have been dropped off by a car, that is being investigated.  Take care!!
