Mel:

Good to see you on line!

Good that you think that!

Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humor!

When you live where the vinyl lives, you get to have the vinyl one way or another!

See you soon!!!

Wow! An alternate version of "My World is On Fire". That's one of my all time favourite recordings. One of the few non-Motown recordings that holds it's own against the best of Motown. I'd sure like to hear that! Is it as good as the released version?

I second that emotion regarding "My World is On Fire"--and not only is that song great, but so is its flip, "Go On". And I would also like to hear the unissued take on this classic!

Mel--hope you enjoy the venue you're visiting. Could you tell us a couple of the songs that were played (just to make those of us who can't make it to the UK a little jealous)?

Best,

Mark

WOW...Frank Wilson, the Majestics and Douglas Banks...three good 'uns there!

As I mentioned in another thread, "My First Lonely Night" is by Jewel Akens. It's the first American translation of "Sukiyaki".

Best,

Mark
