(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)
Norwich's Modernist Night Out
Some general ramblings and musings when the fancy takes - well, it's easier than writing new web pages everytime! Plus it's a quicker way to add updates

Hi Phil, I'm partial to the rather groovy version of If This Is Love (I'd Rather Be Lonely) by Geno Washington, whom, incidentally, I saw perform a couple of weeks ago in Birkenhead. Thoroughly nice chap even signed my CD for me. Keep on keepin on, Spence
