If This Is Love...

(I'd Rather Be Lonely) - The Precisions...

I'd copied this from my Drew single onto my MP3 and it came on midway through a gym session and what a track. Not heard this for years. Dramatic intro, great harmonies and vocal crescendo a bit like The Valentinos' "Sweeter Than The Day Before" - certainly gave me a kick in the gym...also found out today that, apparently, tambourine was played by Lou "I Travel Alone" Ragland - see here

Other gym highlights have included forgotten (by me) oldie Herbert Hunter "I Was Born To Love You" plus much of Sue Story Vol. 3 (Jimmy McGriff Last Minute, Intentions Dancing Fast, Dancing Slow and the wonderful Jackie Day Before It's Too Late)

Smedley Sale...quality knitwear

Guys and girls, I just got a flyer from Smedley offering 20% off their new catalogue. OK, their new stuff comes in mainly the wrong side of 100 quid, but some nice items there. You'll need a promotion code which I have and apparently am able to "let my friends in on the secret". Valid until 15th December 2007.

Interested? Email me for the code and enjoy a warm and stylish autumn...and you can even trace the wool used back to a particular flock - sheep in sta prest anyone?
