Bessie Banks - " Go Now ". The original ( and for me better ) version of the old Moody Blues No 1.

Tim Rose - Morning Dew. Good choice of the Bobby Womack number earlier Patrick, it absolutely makes the opening scenes of " Jackie Brown ".

Willie Tee - " Walking Up A One Way Street ". One for 60's soul lovers as usual. His " Teasin You " is also worth a play.

Clarence Carter - ( Making Love ) At The Dark End Of The Street. The first 4 minutes of this is a pretty boring rap, then right out of the blue Carter kicks off into a fabulous version of the of the old James Carr soul classic. The last 60 seconds make it worth a listen.

Oh No Not My Baby - Maxine Brown.

Ride Your Pony - Lee Dorsey

One Fine Day - The Chiffons. Carol King wrote this one, her ' demo ' version is pretty good as well.

Chuck Jackson - Any Day Now. Another U.S. classic that did nothing in the U.K.

Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

Crimson And Clover - Tommy James and the Shondells. re The Bobby Fuller Four, they did a great version of ' Love's Made A Fool Of You ' as well. His death was a great loss and very, very suspicious. Looks like he crossed the wrong person. The Crickets original of " I Fought The Law " is pretty good also.

Land Of A 1000 Dances - Cannibal And The Headhunters.

Yeah I like that one Audax, great record. Back to the comp, another pretty unknown classic = I Fought The Law - The Bobby Fuller Four. Sorry Clash fans but this version is the boss.

I wouldn't say goal kicking is particularly bad in league, there are some really good kickers. I think the main difference is that in union penalties come so often and seem to be the main method of points scoring for some teams. Because of that a lot of teams " carry " a player just because of their goal kicking ability. In league the actual scoring of tries takes a more prominent role so hardly any teams " carry " a goal kicker ". Just off out to feed my whippets.

I Want Candy - The Strangeloves.

Oh dear, what happened tonight ? Men versus boys down in Cardiff. My local had the game on, why do 70k people pay good money to watch kean like that ? It's a mystery to me. Why is the referee the man of the match in these games ?

Time Of The Season-The Zombies.

I'm Just A Baby - Louise Cordet. Jaunty one hit wonder from the early sixties.

In The Midnight Hour - Wilson Pickett.

Get Down And Get With It - Little Richard

High Heel Sneakers - Tommy Tucker

This Magic Moment - Lou Reed. Good cover of the old Drifters number.

This Boy - The Beatles.

Is She Really Going Out With Him ? - Joe Jackson.

People Get Ready - The Impressions.

Me And Mrs Jones - Billy Paul.
