I woke with this in my head this morning and I don't really know why, but I'm betting the old popclock is at work again and the day I found it in that Paignton junk shop was a wet one in late July.
We had the A side a good while back* and since this is a 45 you flip over and back again and over and back again, loving both songs equally and all the more because they're so contrasting, I think it's time the B made an appearance here, don't you?
You'll forgive me I'm sure that this Friday spin is a Philly ballad not a funk or disco tune, and you'll pardon the crackles too if I know you as well as I think I do because you'll be too busy lying back and diggin' Teddy to carp about such nonsense.
It's raining, so pour me a gin.

* I've re-upped it
Bootiful Bernard!
ReplyDeleteThe sun has got his hat on in North London, so a bit of Philly of any tempo is perfectomundo!
ReplyDeleteSun-rain, rain-sun; A sides-B sides, uptempo-down.
ReplyDeleteIn nostalgia mood after a couple in the Scarboro Taps by Leeds Station.
ReplyDelete30 yrs ago today I joined the RAF. Sounds a dull thing to commemorate, but I'm so glad to still be around.
Ying, and indeed Yang.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad too Dickie.
I don’t know about you but I would have felt a bit safer 30 odd years ago knowing Dick was patrolling the skies.
ReplyDeleteMy, that G&T looks sweet.
ReplyDelete(56 minutes and counting...)
And....it's five o'clock somewhere! (specifically Washington D.C).
ReplyDeleteYes, but Friday commences at 5:30...21 minutes to sweat er out.
ReplyDeleteOFGS the suspense is killing me.
ReplyDeleteLove the crackles - on the subject of 'For You' songs I've been meaning to blog this bugger for about a year or so Sam Dees - Lonely For You Baby
ReplyDeleteIt's a safe bet that Harold Melvin and the blue notes and Teddy P tracks were the soundtrack to many a 70's conception. Must admit to having played them a lot myself, come the witching hour. I hadn't heard this track before though, thanks. Have to say I'm loving this blog Davy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nick, nice to see you dropping in here regularly.
ReplyDeleteLove that tune Mond.
