Spent a lot of this week sorting through my 7" singles and its opened up a few memories from my teens and twenties when the world seemed so different.
I was always in the local record shop next door to where i worked, don't regret it at all.

Time for some Northern Soul. These tracks are from the same era as Motown late 60's early 70's.

DoubleA 12"inch single that started life As 'This Brutal House' then flipped over to create a second chart entry as 'Let's Get Brutal'.
Effectively they are the same track but remixed.

I've decided to start reading again after years if not picking up a book. I was always into detective or crime novels, but I've decided to give scfi a go. So I've got The Reality Dysfunction by Peter E Hamilton, & Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

If you are from UK, Christmas means that Slade song Merry Xmas Everybody (1973) is usually on a party playlist or on the radio. In 1980 they released a little known EP, "Alive at Reading '80". It reached #44
