As with my profile on 45cat., I'm a former community radio presenter. I have a keen interest in collecting vinyl(singles, EPs or LPs) I make my own CDs so I can be guaranteed of authenticity in what goes on these CDs.

Neil Forbes 17th Oct 2015		78 RPM Lonnie Donegan And His Skiffle Group - Cumberland Gap / Love Is Strange	Just how "strange" is "love" that so many versions have emerged of this song, ay? Donegan must've heard the Mickey & Sylvia version and it prompted him to record his own skiffle-ised "take" on this song.
Neil Forbes 15th Oct 2015		78 RPM Barrett Strong - Money (That's What I Want) / Oh I Apologize	I think the year is a bit out. Try 1959 for size! It was Shop Around by The Miracles that took the Tamla label to national distribution later that same year.
Neil Forbes 14th Oct 2015		78 RPM Nervous Norvus - Transfusion / Dig	Yep, Pop the fluid in me, Louie! Just as well I did have a listen or I'd have missed it too.
Neil Forbes 14th Oct 2015		78 RPM Nervous Norvus - Transfusion / Dig	Not long after logging out, I fired up my turntable for recording 78s, and recorded first "Dig"(the B-side), somewhat ordinary as tracks go, nothing much to "write home" about! Then, on spec, I put on the A-side, just to listen to it, initially, I got a surprise when I heard a verse in the song that had been edited out of the track that appears on the K-Tel Looney Tunes LP. The verse goes: Rollin' down a hill on a rainy day, When you see me comin', better start to pray! I'm cuttin' up the road and I'm the boss all the way! Transfusion, transfusion, oh Doc, pardon me for this crazy intrusion! Never, never, never gonna speed again, Pop the fluid in me Louie! What gets me is why K-Tel cut that verse out when the song, in total clocks in at 2 minutes 23 seconds(the time I got after trimming down). There was no need to cut the verse out at all! I note also, Mod has added the linked releases! Cheers!.
