Chris here is the two together, it is indeed the merseybeats in the listening booth on quad. I think the both of them together are great, but dustys voice is just too huge and powerful. Well spotted.

its all about social position and as much as it has moved on, I recieved the same treatment many of my friends recieved, more qualified but under paid.

My Jamaican and African friends agree that they identify with the sentiment,

there is 2 levels of the N word and it depends on the context in which it is used, if used against a descriptive or limiting word it is wrong if used in combination with social standing it applies regardless of the race, its the struggle to be recognised. I have john lennon in my corner I know where am at.

John Lennon used the word in his song Woman is the Nigger of the World.

As for Elvis Costello he felt the wrath of his own people. the joke is that NIgga is the word used by blacks to determine status from origination often confused with the other N word for the unseen problem.

In admins defence I am absolutely sure there was no bad intent. Its just a word that we should be putting off limits. The only ones who should be able to use it (in any context) is black people, the same applies to pejorative words for Jews, Scots, Irish, or Asians.

I read a few years ago in a music article about the stick Elvis Costello received for using that word in 'Olivers Army' in 1979.At one point it was feared that he would have to cancel his U.S tour. And no one ever thought for a minute that Elvis Costello was a racist.

Yellow card there for Jimbo.Your Jamaican and African mates may not be your mates much longer if you use the 'N' word again.

this thread confirms it for me that the glasgow boys were the niggers of the UK... we got soul and we have soul.... It also confirms that it is the reason why I have so much in common with all my jamaican and african mates.....

How does one start a new topic like

Frankie Miller and the Stoics.

Frankie never recorded with the Stoics but they were sensational live. Find out more here

Jim Doris their guitarist wrote Oh me Oh My I'm a fool for you baby for Lulu. Her producer Jerry Wexler took it to Aretha and it appeared on her Young Gifted and Black Album. I think Irma Thomas did a version as well.

We could always open up a new discussion on Alex Harvey and The Merseybeats. Did Alex Harvey dress up as a clown in the 1960s ?
