    Kula Shaker covered Deep Purple, but I didn't know until later that Deep Purple were already covering this:

    This. There is a thread that I will try to find of Basschatters near to you who are happy to help out if you don't fancy doing it yourself. Update:

    Yes, sorry, wasn't implying anything against older music. Big fan of Autumn Leaves, although I don't like Miller. Was partly a reflection of my late mum's attitude who hated Vera Lynn and the fact that everyone thought it was what 'people if her age' wanted. She was a Sinatra fan but also partial to a bit of Pink Floyd and Rolling Stones.

    The old adage, how do you make a small fortune in the music business? Start with a large one.

    Fabulous. The funny thing is though, this music is now older than most of the old folk we have left. Even for those in there 90s Glen Miller is music of their childhood.

    Must check that out, thanks.

    Ha, yes. Even as a big Dylan fan, his version is not one of his finest moments!

    We used to play this always announcing it as a Dylan song. Usually got a few bemused punters.

    Naughty step...😆

    I heard Jefferson Airplane White Rabbit on the radio yesterday. As a soul/jazz fan in my teens it was years before I got to hear this version, but knew and loved this early CTI recording by George Benson.

    Not having a personal dig at you @stonevibe but I find it a little disturbing that gear gets reported on using pure speculation! 'The end result is a crisp clean, a slight gain, or a brutal fuzz sound. And all this without losing the low frequencies.'

    The way you have written this post implies you haven't actually played one?

    I really need to update this - been some excellent suggestions and some new contributors. Annoyingly, my laptop audio/video has gone wonky, so will have to try and do it on my phone.

    @EBS_freak beat me to the Gipsy Kings, so here's another French track from around that time - Les Negresses Vertes

    Part of a general change in music consumption, with pop acts (Little Mix, Ariana Grande) playing arenas way bigger than pop acts (Nik Kershaw, Thompson Twins) thirty plus years ago. The latter would have way outsold the former in record sales.

    This. My Shuker P has a Nordstrand that can certainly be impolite.

    Or Norman Wisdom and Rik Wakeman... http://youtu.be/Mdjw2RJU19A

    I'm a big fan of Tom Morello's work with Bruce Springsteen. Guitar on Ghost of Tom Joad is just so different from what you would expect, and the clash of styles works brilliantly, giving it an edge.

    Bet it was a wrench leaving them ..

    Just saw this on Facebook and thought it needed sharing here: (Credit Goddard Cartoons)

    There was an ad on Facebook that took a hammering from group members - Fender Strat all original except neck and body!

    Have you left the escape plans behind?
  24. Mykesbass
    And a happy NBD to you!

    I think Shiply pricing is very much down to availability. If someone has space on a run to nearby locations you will get a good deal. Also being flexible on dates. I've had a great price from them for car transport and some eye watering quotes for other things.
