The Colonel. Not quite so late this week.
Women's Section
Dusty went to Memphis, Kiki Dee signed to Motown, Lena Zavaroni ended up on Stax.
Somebody thought Sandie Shaw should have a go at reggae.
" ...Reggae is alive, you can ask Leroy & Clive, we are live & well & living down in Clapham" may have nixed any deal with Tuff Gong.
History
Halloween's gone, but here's some stuff for those who can't quite put away the plastic witch hat and the clip-on fingernails. The Plain English Guide To Zombies should be useful at any time of year. Lavern Baker's hard to find Voodoo Voodoo ready for next year's mixes.
Men's Winter Fashions
It's got to start getting colder soon. Here's James Brown in a nice warm Ski Party cardigan. Ask Mum to knit you one.
What's purple and swims in the ocean?
It's those guys with the far out name... The Moby Grapes! Now go and download the re-releases. Did any other bands name themselves after a punchline?
Forgotten Pop
Maisonettes & Heartache Avenue. Read the comments. Will the black polo neck/white jacket combo ever return? Did it ever arrive?
Home Video
Oh shit - I thought you'd hidden the camcorder from Mum.
Awards
Pink loons and a flowery shirt? It's The Dame at the Ivor Novellos 37 years ago.
Stocking Fillers
I'll be giving some Christmas present advice over the coming weeks. Seeing as The Boss likes his cars, perhaps he'd appreciate a Tiddy Bear for that '69 Chevy?

Ouch!!
Just checked the Sandie Shaw clip - oh dear! Where did she get that hat (and accent)?. As shoulder cringing as it is - It's refreshing to see that generic 70's 'floor fringe' studio layout again.
She did a great version of Love Me Do though
