	10:07pm Uncle Michael: Hello.
	10:07pm Uncle Michael: I missed Bix!
	10:08pm Funky16Corners: Hey Unk!
	10:08pm hyde: hm, a Miles Davis In a Silent Way 45. That is like the Alice Coltrane 45 that Little Danny played a while ago. I just want to go to the bar where those are on the jukebox
	10:09pm melinda: hi folks, can't stay long but this sounds nice.
	10:10pm hyde: hi melinda!
	10:10pm still b/p: The flavor just makes me wonder.....if Gary Lewis had gotten into weed by the time of that song.
	10:10pm Uncle Michael: I've come to think of Gary Lewis as one of those artists where there's a lot of great material...but not the hits...the hits are crap.
	10:10pm melinda: hi hyde!
	10:11pm Funky16Corners: Hi guys! Yeah I was shocked when I found that Miles 45, BTW I like a lot of Gary's hits, too, but his later albums are full of undiscovered treasures
	10:11pm melinda: what was his biggest hit? I can't remember.
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: This Diamond Ring
	10:13pm still b/p: The hits are bubbley gummy pop but seem to suit their pop moment/period.
	10:14pm Uncle Michael: White Whale must have had great A&R. Was anything bad ever released on that label?
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: Oh yeah, plenty of bunk
	10:14pm Uncle Michael: I love breakup-era Don and Phil records.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this is just beautiful
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: This predates the Hollies?
	10:17pm Funky16Corners: Yes, produced by Duane Eddy, arranged by Warren Zevon
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Amazing.
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: Indeed. Quite a pedigree
	10:18pm hyde: heh, UM you are the guy who hipped me to those post Everly Bros recs
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: Predated by the original by Albert Hammond
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: I do like to share those, hyde.
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, but the Hollies borrows more heavily from Phil than Albert...which makes sense.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: The Hammond version is weird
	10:20pm Uncle Michael: I have an Albert Hammond single for Friday's Very Special Hinky Dinky Time. You'd guess it, so don't!
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: Cool!
	10:21pm Uncle Michael: I'm unfamiliar with this Wilkin chap.
	10:21pm Funky16Corners: This is one of my all time favorite albums. More info on the break
	10:24pm still b/p: Get this, about Gary Lewis: "His mother....intended to name him after her favorite actor, Cary Grant, but a clerical error led to his naming as 'Gary'". And though Gary isn't much different in sound, I think if he were Cary, other kids woulda been more likely to taunt him with many hah-has as "Shari Lewis."
	10:25pm Funky16Corners: Living with Jerry had to be a trial
	10:25pm Uncle Michael: The Don Agrati records deserve more love.
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: Yes, indeed. Good stuff

	10:38pm Funky16Corners: And Hi Doug!
	10:41pm Doug Schulkind: One the great lyrics in the history of lyrics: "...all he left us was alone." Amazing.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: Whitfield was a genius
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and all
	10:46pm Funky16Corners: Howdy C!
	10:49pm still b/p: When I listened as a kid I wondered if "all he left us was alone," or "a loan," as in leaving them nuthin' but his debts. I seemed to recall commenting thusly here some time ago...and just found it in one of the Steinski replays five years ago, when I was cued by praise for the lyric from commenter Doug Schulkind! DJ vu.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: An unimpeachable source!
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: Norman Whitfield brought funk to Motown. That's pretty huge.
	10:52pm Doug Schulkind: I am nothing if not predictable.
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: Transcended it, too, and did some visionary production early on with the Velvelettes among others
	10:53pm Uncle Michael: My favorite thing he ever did was Masterpiece, with the Temptations in a supporting role.
	10:54pm Uncle Michael: I love the full eleven minute version of the Temps record.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: i saw a band do "...rolling stone" over the weekend and could not have expected such a worthy rendition. -aside from the 4 excellent instrumentalists, the main singer (they all had mics) shifted seamlessly between the different vocals in the style of the 5 temps in their version.
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: I think you have to hear the entire Temps take, which fortunately you can get on the 45. It is a masterpiece of dynamics.
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: How can that full version fir on a 45, pts 1&2?
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: They did it. You have to crank it up a bit
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: www.discogs.com...

	11:00pm Funky16Corners: This predates it by a few years
	11:00pm Uncle Michael: Tom Shipley co-write.
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: It's their song, but they gave it to the Poor first. There are a couple of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band versions of their stuff earlier than that first album
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: well shit, i'd like to take the album version and mix in that b-side instrumental at the end for a 17 minute version.
	11:05pm Uncle Michael: I'm abandoning the keyboard now. Play me to sleep, Larry. Night all.
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: Nite Michael!

	11:23pm Funky16Corners: Mmmmmmm hot dogs...
	11:24pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party on the Fleshtones, but agreed on their live shows. They played our local casino lounge 6 years ago. Had to go out and see them twice.

	11:33pm Kris Holmes: i just had a panic & had to check if i hadn't got rid of the LP.....still there phew
	11:34pm Funky16Corners: I'd love to find a copy
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: This 45 has one of the biggest disparities between A and B sides. The flip is a corny pop soul thing
	11:36pm Kris Holmes: ha, what is the flip? i own none of the 45s
	11:38pm northguineahills: ISB had a renaissance in the early noughts, but then the kids stopped talking about them amongst other Brit folk bands being revived.
	11:38pm Funky16Corners: It's a song called Salt and Pepper which has some Northern Soul devotees, but it's pretty bad (this is the Esko Affair 45 I'm talking about)
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: I think the ISB's problem was the pretty clear divide between Williamson's and Heron's styles. I like them both but it's a little schizo
	11:49pm northguineahills: true
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: They were also a little folky, freak folky, psychedelic, singer songwritery, kind of hard to draw a bead on for a casual listener

	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Amazing.
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: Indeed. Quite a pedigree

	10:18pm Funky16Corners: Predated by the original by Albert Hammond
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: I do like to share those, hyde.
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, but the Hollies borrows more heavily from Phil than Albert...which makes sense.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: The Hammond version is weird
	10:20pm Uncle Michael: I have an Albert Hammond single for Friday's Very Special Hinky Dinky Time. You'd guess it, so don't!

	10:49pm still b/p: When I listened as a kid I wondered if "all he left us was alone," or "a loan," as in leaving them nuthin' but his debts. I seemed to recall commenting thusly here some time ago...and just found it in one of the Steinski replays five years ago, when I was cued by praise for the lyric from commenter Doug Schulkind! DJ vu.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: An unimpeachable source!
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: Norman Whitfield brought funk to Motown. That's pretty huge.
	10:52pm Doug Schulkind: I am nothing if not predictable.
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: Transcended it, too, and did some visionary production early on with the Velvelettes among others
	10:53pm Uncle Michael: My favorite thing he ever did was Masterpiece, with the Temptations in a supporting role.
	10:54pm Uncle Michael: I love the full eleven minute version of the Temps record.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: i saw a band do "...rolling stone" over the weekend and could not have expected such a worthy rendition. -aside from the 4 excellent instrumentalists, the main singer (they all had mics) shifted seamlessly between the different vocals in the style of the 5 temps in their version.
	10:57pm Funky16Corners: I think you have to hear the entire Temps take, which fortunately you can get on the 45. It is a masterpiece of dynamics.
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: How can that full version fir on a 45, pts 1&2?

	11:01pm Funky16Corners: It's their song, but they gave it to the Poor first. There are a couple of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band versions of their stuff earlier than that first album

	11:34pm Funky16Corners: I'd love to find a copy
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: This 45 has one of the biggest disparities between A and B sides. The flip is a corny pop soul thing
	11:36pm Kris Holmes: ha, what is the flip? i own none of the 45s
	11:38pm northguineahills: ISB had a renaissance in the early noughts, but then the kids stopped talking about them amongst other Brit folk bands being revived.
	11:38pm Funky16Corners: It's a song called Salt and Pepper which has some Northern Soul devotees, but it's pretty bad (this is the Esko Affair 45 I'm talking about)
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: I think the ISB's problem was the pretty clear divide between Williamson's and Heron's styles. I like them both but it's a little schizo
	11:49pm northguineahills: true
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: They were also a little folky, freak folky, psychedelic, singer songwritery, kind of hard to draw a bead on for a casual listener
