Friday night suh -

The amount of dust accumulating on what is a moving, percussive surface, should be not worth bothering about. (imo / ymmv) 😎

Written by Greg Allman -

* Thread Derail* In the late 60's I was invited to a Philips (records) 'do' to a private uk debut launch for Captain Beefhearts Magic Band. T'were somehere fooking trendy in that Lunnon place (Whisky a Go Go ? Dunno, can't remember) Squatting down in the middle, in a bluddy kaftan, were that John Peel geezer, who swayed gently while he took in what to me was a dreadful noise - but what do I know? As you were guys.......... 😎

PAMA RECORDS 78 Craven Park Rd, Harlesden, London NW10 4AE. Three brothers, Harry, Jeffrey and Carl Palmer (who had all emigrated from Jamaica in the 50s and 60s) founded Pama Records, a record shop, label and distributor, in Harrow in 1967 with the aim of bringing Jamaican music to the UK. In 1968 Pama relocated to 78 Craven Park Road and became the main-competitor to Trojan Records. Pama released records by local artists, Junior English and Delroy Washington (Federation of Reggae Music) however their biggest hit (released on their Unity label) was Max Romeo’s ‘Wet Dream’, despite being banned from UK radio and receiving no airplay it made no.10 in the UK charts in the summer of 1969 selling 250,000 copies. One of Pama’s first releases in 1968 was 'The Champ' by The Mohawks, which would become one of the most sampled tracks in hip hop.

I think you are correct, but I can't find any images - Precision Devices do sell 21" drivers... 😎

^ ^ ^ Just wire the output lines together ? (s'all I ever did, my current mixer is a Denon DNX500, set to mono). 😎

The major problem I can see here is that 'they' don't understand what 'you' are about (nor do they want to) I've had this happen a few times with my sound system & it's always ended badly (just a thought). 😎

Percy Faith Orchestra........... 😎

Sidney, George & Jackie - nightmare to employ, great blokes but never wanted to leave the dressing room- - Let's change d music -

Some while back I was asked 'sort out music' for a local show (which shall remain anon) - I inherited four or five people who all had their own (& vastly differing ideas) about what the public wanted - I'm a reggae & soul man, but I knew that would go down like a sack of shite with a MOR largely white audience. Fortunately someone had Hawkwinds number & they went down a storm. (there's a lesson in there, somewhere, I think). 😎

I'm reminded of 'Theme from a Summer Place' (I refrained from posting it) 😎

Penny for your song time =

Cheeky ! It was actually one of these -

This was one reason that I started adding Tannoys to the sound ............ 😎

Just do Mustang Sally - you know it makes sense ... 😎

I had a dig about & I found this from 1981 (!) Shows my gig wagon, decks, and more importantly (bottom right) a view of one of my twin18 & Vitavox boxes (the other boxes are some of the Tannoy 15's that I bought from the Blind Beggar pub) (why do we never take 'proper' pics?)

AKA Junior Delgardo ? 😎
