Sorry @Frank Blank, you have beaten Spotify again. Nice tune!

One of my favourite discoveries from this thread, despite this track not being available on Spotify. Plenty of other great stuff by him on there.

Is that where Roll With It was recorded?

Just seen the OP's latest post, hence my worry. Glad to see it has all worked out.

What about the occasional need to 'bake' tapes, particularly Ampex, due to the emulsion attaching itself to the back of the tape?

I'm a big fan of proper pop music throughout the decades, but must admit this probably came to a halt around the turn of the century. Any chance of a few choice artists/tracks to check out please?

Yes, Later has been another good source for me. I came across Lake Street Dive through one of those dreadful clickbait videos!

That's the ones. 60s white RnB. Very authentic. Mentored by Elton John.

In the last couple of years I have found more new artists that I have bought than for many years. A lot of it courtesy of 6 Music. Michael Kiwanuka, White Denim, Christine & the Queens, Fantastic Negrito to name 4.

17 when they made a breakthrough, but I thought The Strypes were pretty good.

Another vote for Ibanez over Tanglewood. Also, you will get a very poor return on your Ibanez as p/x.

It's a fair cop!

HaHa - yes I've worked out we have all been posting videos and not adding the artist/title in the post, so they don't turn up using the search.

I opted for five string when I switched from playing guitar. The reason for the choice is that I had been playing rhythm in a jazz big band, so everything had been in Bb, Eb, even Ab, so I had completely got out of the habit of playing in the open position. With the five string it just felt natural starting from the fifth fret. The rest then followed easily.

The Seafoam with the additional discount is basically dealer price. Had one for a couple of years as my back up bass (decided if I were to have a back up to my fretless 5 string P it should be something completely different). It's a great bass, and really not 'basic'.

I love what the Playing For Change team do. Shame it can't go on the Spotify playlist, but I'll be listening later.

None too shabby here, getting to number seven, and your's truly was in the sales team that had to sell it as a new release!

I remember him having a go at a young Bonamassa in a magazine interview, saying he was too full on all the time! In fairness, GM could play quiet, delicate, intricate pieces - he just chose not to.

I'm just as bad!

No, I realised that we are all posting videos and don't put in our text what the track is, so there is no way for the search function to work it out.

How did we miss it for so long? 😯😎 Edit: We didn't, it just didn't show up in the search. It's on the playlist though. Thought we wera all going mad overlooking such an important track!

Talking of Lover's Rock, just did a quick search of the thread and this hasn't appeared yet!! Another huge South London track.

Lovely feel to this. Shame it's not on Spotify. Would this be considered Lover's Rock?
