      Bay of Freedom has been retired. He has given me such joy and I have always appreciated the wonderful support form everyone on this forum. It has meant so much to me and i can;t thank you enough.
      I have taken the plunge and bought another horse but we had a few issues with his name as you will read http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-...-lautre-cheval
      So you still got your way, clever , good read, good luck with him BOF.

        If I were to get another go, I'd use the title of one of the finest albums of all time, Forever Changes, then move on to some of the tracks like Alone Again Or and Andmoreagain.
        Just read this Archie, as an ex record shop owner you've gone way up in my estimation - not that you weren't too low before, lol

            So many brilliant albums released 1966-69 from Pet Sounds to Volunteers but Forever Changes is right up there and I've still got my original mono copy.
            I bet you didn't sell many copies of this neglected classic:

              Not even close to being as good a song as

              Crimson & Clover • Original • 1968 • Tommy James & The Shondells • + Lyrics • Stereo


              Crimson and Clover.

                Crimson and Clover.
                If you were around at the time, there was no comparison. Of course, they do say that if you were around at the time you probably can't remember too much.

                  Crimson and Clover.
                  Wow, didn't expect to find any fellow Tommy James fans in here, this record was famed for being performed as good live as the record version such was the range of Tommy's voice.
                  A big US number 1 but not sure it was ever released in the UK, Tommy James was still touring last year though not sure if that's still the case.

                  He gave a great gig at The Bitter End in New York a few years ago, I was there at the time but couldn't get tickets which was disappointing but much of that gig is on You Tube and well worth a look if you are a fan...

                    You do realise that the majority of people on here think that Tiffany's version of I Think We're Alone Now is an 80s original classic that dates their parents.

                      Looked him up after hearing the tune on the soundtrack for a film called , "Wolves at the door " (based on manson murders) shit film.

                      Downloaded some of his tunes after that on spotify.
                      But Crimson and Clover is a seriously good song, reminds me a bit of Stone Rose's - I am the resurrection.
