Whats on that? I've got Changing Faces = G & C/10cc compilation. I do think they were the more original part of 10cc.

While Grant Shapps MP, aka Michael Green and Sebastian Fox, had a very real talent for reinvention, it was his cousin Mick Jones who displayed the vision that would eventually make him the country's Prime Minister:

More interested in BAD than the Clash.

I did not know about my local MP's multiple identities. Interesting.

You voted for Grant Shapps ?

:O

God no!! - but though it pains me to say it, he is actually quite an effective constituency MP, unlike his Blair Babe predecessor who lived in Cambridge and pulled down the blinds on her train window as she passed through her constituency on the way to Westminster.

Bit like Queen Victoria as she passed through The Black Country !

.....or that he is a cousin of Jones the Clash?

After the splendid Taha Casbah - have never heard it with Mick Jones before - I listened to Bill Lloyd etc for the first time. That's great too. Far better than the original. I don't suppose he is a relation of.......?..........

A L Lloyd - A Jug of Punch

Yes, I much prefer this version; I never quite got the fuss over Seth Lakeman.

As far as I know Banjo Bill is no relation, but nice to hear a bit of Bert all the same.

That's incredibly good. One of the best things anyone has posted.

Fabulous Etta track, and thanks for introducing me to Sweet Emma.

Sadly it was one of her last. I decided to read up on Candye. Apparently she's none too well. A shame. Given her colourful past, I was almost tempted to pick Andrea True but that would have been crass. Thanks, Tursiops, for your choices today which have not only been enjoyable but an education.

Thought I might do a bit of Charles Bradley to end the day. Agree with others' comments about the chronic-in-places trumpet but he should be known more. I'm an 8.5 on him rather than a 10 as there is some room for doubt. Still, that is a pretty high score for the here and now. If only more were doing similar.
