Neil Forbes 1st Jul 2015		TV The Rifleman (1958 - 1963)	I remember this show fairly well. Johnny Crawford also had a singing career at the same time as he was in this show, and in the late 1970s, Chuck Connors hosted a series called "Thrillseekers".
Neil Forbes 1st Jul 2015		TV Butterflies (1978 - 1983)	I saw a little buttefly, did watch it as it flutter by. Then it turn and poop in my eye, How I hate that butterfly!(grrr) (ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 1st Jul 2015		TV Ripley's Believe It Or Not! (1982 - 1986)	What we have now, RC?.... Ugh! What a horrible thought!
Neil Forbes 1st Jul 2015		TV Ripley's Believe It Or Not! (1982 - 1986)	Oh, please, 23skidoo, don't say that! Our Australian TV is riddled with this insidious cancer of "reality" TV(and 100 times out of 100, it ain't "reality" at all! It's totally contrived rubbish). I'm with Record Collector on this one! We need to totally "purge" our TV of this so-called "reality" trash! I hate to think this "magazine"-style show, Believe It Or Not was the progenitor of that vile bile which is "reality" TV.
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Ringo Starr - Blast From Your Past	I think the tracks you're after are on other(possibly later) albums. Use the website's search facility, you'll find out from there which albums carry those tracks.
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant	Brrrrrr!!!!
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees	@Monolith: "Oh and I use compatible ink cos the original is out of my price range and is a rip-off". Yeah!!!! I've been using G & G ink cartridges for mine, they're only roughly a third of the price that Canon charges for their "genuine" cartridges, and the G & G ones work fine and last as long as Canon's. Works out a heck of a lot cheaper. The colour(yellow/magenta/cyan) and the smaller black cartridge(not the thicker "page-black" for document printing), I get them for $11.95 each at a "Leading Edge" computer shop in Nelson Bay(north of Newcastle, by about 40 minutes' drive, about 57 kilometres, give or take a few). The Canon's go for around $30. The G & G page-blacks are a bit over $12.
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		TV Ripley's Believe It Or Not! (1982 - 1986)	I have the cassette("You Won't Believe Your Ears") and have transferred it to CD myself, then saw a commercially-issued CD of it some time back. Yes, RC, buy it if you can find it. It's absolutely hilarious!
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees	A model or two earlier than mine, but mine would have been superseded as well, by now!
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant	Allo, 'ere we go! This website's haunted! We've got another ghost(ha-ha)!
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees	Hi. Monolith, my printer's an IP-4850! What's your model?
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant	Aah ya lazy bugger, RC!(ha-ha)!
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees	Yep, Gotta be careful with cassettes. It's the inventor of the format that I blame, Philips. If any other company had come up with the idea, say EMI, or any of the German companies, they would've done a far better job in developing the format. I've stopped using cassettes anyway(except for extracting content off them), I burn all my music to home-compiled CDs these days, inkjet-printable ones too, so I can design my own labels and print straight to the disc with my Canon printer that has that CD-printing feature.
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		TV Ripley's Believe It Or Not! (1982 - 1986)	I remember episodes of this on Station NBN-Newcastle(in Australia) years ago. So-so TV. Filled a scheduling gap but that's about all it did. Occasionally something interesting came on, like a live performance by vocal sound-effects comedian, Wes Harrison, that's about the only bit that I can recall of this otherwise forgettable show.
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees	A particular favourite track for me was at the paper sheet position!(A4 - get it? Ha-ha).
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees	I bought cassette copies of this and "Down Two Then Left" issued on Rainbow(brand) cassettes in a two-fer pack(each in its own case with its own card) but late bought them on CD. The cassettes were disappointing as they jammed(bad mechanism - probably Rainbow were using product from a dodgy supplier of cassette blanks). As for song, We're All Alone, think I prefer Scaggs' own version over Rita Coolidge's.
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Cinema The Haunting (1963)	@Monolith - thanks for that info! Sorry you had to relive frightening experiences. Hope it doesn't give you any nightmares! Nightmare(nightmayor): An elected city official who works after dark?(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Boz Scaggs - Down Two Then Left	Yeah, RC, that's possible!
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Cinema The Haunting (1963)	@Zabadak, you didn't answer my question.... what was the storyline? I think I'm going to have to keep an eye out for this one.
Neil Forbes 30th Jun 2015		Cinema The Haunting (1963)	I don't remember seeing this one at all. What was its storyline? Knowing that might(only might) remind me. I love a good ghost movie?
Neil Forbes 29th Jun 2015		TV Weird Or What? (2010 - 2012)	Must be difficult, taking with your tongue in your cheek! Might garble the words a bit(ha-ha). I've got an episode of this tucked away on my external hard-drive, an episode dealing with a favourite subject of mine, ghosts.(Boo!)
Neil Forbes 29th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Boz Scaggs - Down Two Then Left	B1, Hollywood, got plenty of radio exposure but I don't think it charted here(as a single). I think A1, Still Falling For You also got a bit of airplay as well, but again, no chart listing.
Neil Forbes 29th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Boz Scaggs - Down Two Then Left	Silk Degrees was Scaggs' biggie, but this album, the follow-upm seems to have dudded here in Australia!
Neil Forbes 29th Jun 2015		Vinyl Album Ivor Biggun - The Winker's Album (Misprint)	I think the misprint "Winkers" might be deliberate, think about it!
Neil Forbes 29th Jun 2015		TV Starsky & Hutch (1975 - 1979)	RC, I'm with you all the way there! *Reality TV sucks!*
Neil Forbes 29th Jun 2015		TV Starsky & Hutch (1975 - 1979)	@Zabadak: "Was it a stool pigeon?" You mean, did it have somewhere to sit and rest its weary little wings?(ha-ha!)
Neil Forbes 27th Jun 2015		Betamax The Way We Were - RCA / Columbia Pictures	That's interesting. When video libraries first started(tell me if it was the same in the USA or UK, as it was here in Australia), you'd buy the tape(VHS or Beta) at the cost price(be it $60, $70 or $80 Australian), you'd take it home, watch it then bring it back to the store and swap it for another in the same cassette format. Then came the libraries that charged a nominal #5 overnight fee and you returned the tape the following day. Older titles could be hired on a weekly basis. Sound familiar?
Neil Forbes 27th Jun 2015		TV Starsky & Hutch (1975 - 1979)	nboldock, what was the pigeon "carrying"? Hope he didn't cross paths with Dastardly and Muttley!
Neil Forbes 27th Jun 2015		TV Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids (1972 - 1985)	I couldn't rightly tell you what Warners or MCA(Universal) are planning, re: Cosby. I was going by what I have on LP vinyl. Actually, back in the 1980s a budget label here in Australia was issuing quite a bit of Cosby's MCA content in different mixes. That label was J. & B., which started life issuing LPs of "Bawdy Ballads" and "Dirty Ditties". I'm sure you don't need me to explain what they were..... or do you?(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 26th Jun 2015		TV A Ghost Story For Christmas (1971 - 1978)	A DVD content cut down to 700-or-so megabytes in MP4? Hmmm, must remember that! Might even convert what's already on my external hard-drive(dedicated to TV shows, docos and movies) across to MP4 and gain some extra storage space. Nice one, Monolith!
