One minute of your time


I’m conscious it’s been some time without a post again. I’ve sort of lost the beat of this thing recently. It’s partly because I have become completely obsessed with reading a couple of record collector forums – Waxidermy and VG+  which seem to take up most of my online time lately. I’m what’s known as a lurker on them at the moment and it's possibly just a phase... but there again I am in the process of trying to register on VG+ to allow me to post (Waxidemy is a bit more intimidating and heavily US biased, and quite frankly I struggle to keep up with the lingo sometimes). Anyway, registering on VG+ is proving difficult and I’m beginning to think that is a good thing because if I end up posting on the forum as well as reading it could be curtains for this blog – and I don’t want that to happen.


I was chasing a Cynthia Sheeler 45 on ebay recently but in the end the bidding ran away from me. To make myself feel better l have been playing this 45 a lot, the only one of hers I do own. Once again I have Sir Shambling to thank for bringing Cynthia to my attention. She has a lovely voice and didn’t record enough.

I particularly love the subtle change of gear and what amounts to an extended outro on this song. And it’s on my favourite label!

Did you ever grab this from Simon? If not I can send. I know it's not like having the actual single, but still...

Yours has downloaded now and I'm listening. Goodness me, it's lovely.

davy sent me. (He's good like that).
That's a warm sweet listen. Many thanks.

Ooh yes please Davy I don't have that one in any form. Sir Shambling is a bit sniffy about it but I like it. If you follow my link to his Cynthia page you must listen (and download) "I Love You More Than Words Can Say". That's the one I'm chasing at the moment. Top class.

You're welcome dvd!
