Thank you Andrew, I love you too
Richiep you is the best.
Thank you very much for everything my friend.
Thank you, glad you are enjoying the records
With the flop that this era supposedly is, it is indeed heartening to see you “lure” us Thelma fans out with this series.
Thanks Richie!
Happy Weekend and Memorial Day!
Thank you Ric and same to you!
Thanks for the music!
You’re welcome Taylor
Hi. I’m having trouble unloading this WINRAR file.
“Total path & file name length must not exceed 260 characters”
“The system cannot find the path specified”
any help?
(Alright, I got it to work now) Thanks again!
Good deal, you’re welcome
Thanks for sharing all these Thelma releases. I didn’t realize this was such a good album! Totally missed this one. Thanks for spotlighting it again and giving it another go.
you’re welcome rockhaus
Very nice
thanx
Good to get every single except You Used To Hold Me So Tight!
Don’t you have that one?
That was the coolest one of that album.
If u don´t….ok…..
Cheers
MM
You know, I don’t have that one and I’m not really sure how I missed getting it. Rest assured, it is on my wantlist and I am looking for a good quality copy when record shopping.
ynot69, how did you get around this problem?
Justin, are you perhaps using Safari as your browser?I Googled it, apparently, due to the excessive length of the song title, when extracting this RAR file, you will need to either extract it to a root folder (i.e.: C:\ or D:\, etc.) or open the archive and extract the files individually instead of using the “extract here” option. The short and simple of it is that you are trying to extract it in a path that exceeds the number of characters that Windows can handle in a file path. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the lovely words !
This LP like a whole host of ‘Others’
T’ Was like Dynamite waiting ….ing
and waiting
Like say Taka Boom ‘s ‘Middle Of The Night’ LP
Fizzing Away and not getting the ‘Exposure’ Us reFans were wetting ourselves [almost lol]
Over how ‘Bloody Brilliant’ the LP was
One Dj asked if he could borrow some records for a Fashion show
”Huh Huh mock giggle – I just thought YOU’D Have ”those kinda records’
with a vague promise of a helping hand in dj-ness that Never happened
When I got my bunch of 7”ers back – You were right =short ‘tune’s = keep an energy /Strut going !
”Oh man !he says ”They LOVED That one (the models)
”Really ”
Yeh Played it 3 times = the other sides a bit different = is there a ’12′ of this ?
2 shops i knew 1 V pricey one a ‘dj hang out’ = go to the ‘Pricey one’
what’s funny is it’s in the racks for £7.99 [full price] but theres a chunk of them in the ‘Pricey’ store in the 99p bargain bin
I dunno if it’s completely-completely true but I heard that he went in to That Store and bought every copy
The girl serving me in their told all about it !
As she V nicely said about Jesse Johnson’s Cra-Zay 12” import
”I’ll mark that done, No one’s gonna pay £7.99 for it – and the uk ones out ”and that aint ‘shifting” …
So my Vinyl ‘cruise’ that day was brilliant – lots of Gr8 Records
[i no longer have 'blub-blub'] xxx
Seriously though Being ‘Nice’ and telling people[dj's]
‘YOU MUST GET THIS !’
paid off in a away
Ain’t it Nice to be Nice ?
Adios x
