Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

Dusty Springfield : Dusty In Memphis

An absolutely classic album, and certainly one of my favourites. I grew up with stuff like this playing in the background, and am pleased to be able to blog it in its deluxe form, with a load of extra tracks.

Dusty hosted the "Ready Steady Go" Motown specials in the mid 60s and was certainly no slouch performing that sort of material. here though, she really comes into her own, augmented greatly by the  cream of Memphis session men backing her.

Had Dusty been born in the States then this album would be universally renowned as a bona fide Soul Classic. Listen & enjoy...
