A mystery for #Standingstonesunday. According to g***le maps this is the site of the Neolithic Talaiot stone de s'Hort des Poves outside Alcudia, Mallorca. I certainly couldn't find it and I'm not the first to say there's nothing Neolithic there.
Where is it?

The accordion is rarely heard on Jamaican records, but here's one from the early sixties, by Monty Alexander and the Cyclones, on the Teen label, run from the radio store of a Mr Gordon, and probably a Coxsone production. @houseofreggae.bsky.social - any thoughts?

@houseofreggae.bsky.social mentioned Bop and the Beltones recently. Their replacement singer was Trevor Shields. Here he is with Keith (Poppin?) doing "Someday". The vocal was unfinished and was released in the UK as "You Gonna Hold Me Version" by the Brentford All Stars
