Like both but prefer the earlier one.


Weird thing about versions - yes there are lots of them and that's as it should be but I thought I was going nuts seeing Susan Cadogan on one of those retrospective TOTP shows as the song was way faster than I remembered it - but this just shows there were two speeds back when the BBC were afraid of anything that wasn't upbeat enough: Trojan and TOTP.




Yes I know i shouldn't be posting this late but it's friday and i have just discovered tequilla martinis - here's 2 more versions of a song I loved back in the early 80s (local-ish band who never got any recognition) and I prefer the later, slightly more up-tempo and brassier version with the realistics


- original


- with the realistics

I've always liked ska, but I've been listening to a lot more reggae since I realised that it helps get my baby daughter to sleep. Alton Ellis and Max Romeo work well... as do the more soulful moments of Burning Spear, and any repetitive dub stuff (Lee Scratch Perry, Scientist). But I'm afraid to say, Sorehead, neither of us can get along with the 80s stuff with all the tinny DX7 synths.

I always liked and rock steady, and strangley I remember a friend of mine remarking on how some of these tunes were very much like childrens nursery ryhmes, could be why they have a soothing effect on little ones. I'm with you, 80's digital stuff is skank

Yeah I think it's the combination of nice melodies and harmonies, deep bass lines, and laid back vibe.. quite often it's simple music which is relaxing rather than stimulating.

    • That rubbish is a health and safety issue. It could easily fall on someone walking underneath it.
    • A town square would be nice. Perhaps we could pedestrianise North cross Road and create a square at the junction of Lordship Lane. Can't imagine there would be any objections / controversy.  This is probably true, but the issue is not so much the level of the rent, but the degree to which it is sustainable in the context of the local market. The Landlords locally do seem to have squeezed rents to the point where places can no longer survive in many cases. Think the furore was largely manufactured tbf.
    • https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14774205/Urgent-warning-opioid-deaths-Met-Police-pills-heroin-nightclubs.html?ito=email_share_article-top   I'm sharing this article to help to spread the word about these new deadly synthetic opioids called Nitazenes which are finding their way onto the drug scene.  Two more young lives lost last weekend in young people at a South London club.    Most people I talk to have never heard of Nitazenes which are being used as contaminants in a number of other drugs including sleeping pills like valium and Xanax, oxycodone but have also been found in vapes and sedative antihistamines and cocaine.  So people buying sleeping tablets and other substances have no idea of the risk they are taking.  This is a relatively new trend and the number of deaths is on the increase.  Do discuss it with your teenagers and young adult children and anyone you know tempted to purchase sleeping tablets online.  It really is a much more dangerous and potentially lethal time to buy tablets online or on the street and hopefully knowledge of Nitazenes can help people protect themselves.  This stuff is in London and no doubt, is already in Dulwich so do spread the word.     
    • The link is showing the real link to the East Dulwich Forum that Joe on here set up.  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DanoiLd48/?mibextid=wwXIfr East Dulwich Mums is my group and is not a spin off from this group. I have no connection to the other EDF Facebook group and nor do I promote any cleaning services. My group is very well run thank you and your information is incorrect.  No, that is the new Facebook group that the admin on here has set up.  Joe does need to turn the settings on that group to pre approval for all posts as there is a lot of posts on there that isn’t relevant.
