Very jingly-jangly Smiths. Nice, but not my thing.

I did a selection for my reggae/dub producer mate who I visited in the studio last week.

He hadn't heard this one and was surprised it was by a white guy - he liked it lots and there is talk of him doing a cover version:

Mayer Hawthorne - Just Ain't Gonna Work Out

Showing my age.

I love that song, cool sixties, Italian Job.

never heard this before last night, now my favourite of his. Instrumentally just lovely. Vocally, really very good too
T B Sheets - Van Morrison

Yes,thanks.I haven't heard that for a long time.I had the LP once.It had some of his earlier stuff on it.

Never heard of this before and suspect it's right up Max's street.

I get some strange posts appear on my FB page and I try to follow as many up as I can, this mornign was about someone who had picked up some 7" singles in milk crates in the US and this was amongst the pile.
Innervisions - I'm In debt To You

You know me too well Undi! I really like that and I like the crate-digging story. I've read a couple of books on the northern scene and there are a few stories of warehouse and thrift shop finds in the US where there have been dozens or more rare singles found in one hit - I know Ian Levine hit the motherlode a couple of times (interesting guy - not keen on his hi-NRG stuff but he was the one that brought Philly/modern soul to the northern scene).

Like the Van Morrison lots too - I love Them and the classic Astral Weeks album but lots more of his to catch up on.

Apropos the moon pics on the other thread.

Not so keen on that piano but after delving further, really like the Beat Girl track. Almost the Bond theme but not quite

I like that lots too - a big fan of soundtracks and John Barry in general. It's worth remembering that the film was set in the jazz cafes of Soho so the music reflects that.

As I mentioned a little while ago, Henry Mancini in particular is repaying a deeper investigation recently.

I enjoyed that without finding the music particularly memorable.

There's a nice little film from the 60's that has jazz playing all the time in the background.

Might turn up on Freeview 81...

Following from Ron's Brian Fahey track, here's their best known.

For those of a certain vintage it's the theme music for Alan Freeman's Pick Of The Pops radio show:

Brian Fahey - At the Sign of the Swingin' Cymbal (From 'Pick of the Pops')

"Greetings music lovers"

The Bar -Kays
Soul finger (aka Ghostbusters )

The Isley Bros

Who's that lady.

Can't argue with either of those except Soul Finger was used in Spies Like Us, not Ghostbusters.

Interesting career, the Bar-Kays, especially since the majority of the first group died in the Otis Redding plane crash (they were his live backing band). Later became a much respected and sampled funk group:

Bar-Kays - Sang & Dance

Just for fun, a version of Soul Finger I've got on a comp. It's posted on YT by John Manship who is the premier soul record dealer in the UK, particularly famous for his Northern Soul rarities:

WILLPOWER - SOUL FINGER

This is fun:
