	3:40pm djsheilab: Hey @Lisa! Just found that Heart Beats record in LA. Great shop called the Record Parlour for any of you Los Angelinos listening.
	3:43pm sugarwerewolf: yessssssss The Jets
	3:43pm listener james from westwood: Had not previously heard that Wilde; just the two Big Hits. But this Jets cut, oh, yes, I'm back in my parents' living room doing homework w/ the radio on!
	3:44pm modchick65: Is this the Jets? Wow... I still remember the words to this song. This once is a total high school dance song.

	3:44pm Michele: KILLING IT!!!!!!!!!!
	3:44pm georgina: Hi Sheila. Dashed home to catch your show. Streaming is buffering right now so hope it clears up.
	3:44pm djsheilab: @Michael N - Referring to your earlier comment—you're spoiling me! Thanks so much for spreading the word!!

	3:47pm statoj: Skeeter! Okay, I am at the Jersey Shore, 12 years old, rocking my bikini!
	3:48pm djsheilab: Hope it's working for you @georgina! Is this the Orchids' Georgina? If so, I've got your record coming up!
	3:49pm georgina: It's fine now. Yes it's me!!! Hiya!!1
	3:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: We have proof that Michele survived the meetup last night. Hi, Michele!
	3:50pm djsheilab: Ladies + gents! We have a 1960 girl group celebrity in the house. Georgina of British girl group the Orchids. I'm going to be playing her record very soon.

	3:57pm Guido from Cologne: Melba!
	3:58pm Guido from Cologne: ... i just was ybout to say "original" release was a Kent LP in the 80ies
	3:59pm Guido from Cologne: Any story why the didn't put this out back in the day?
	3:59pm statoj: Melba Moore. from the Original Cast of HAIR. I love this show! More than my public library! ( and that is saying a lot.)
	4:01pm listener james from westwood: That Jet would've been such a better prom song than ours; spring 1987, Phil Collins, "In Too Deep." Blergh.
	4:02pm listener james from westwood: I want the sort of prom where the big slow-dance song is "Germ-Free Adolescents."
	4:03pm spidermank: eyup and biggup Georgina and the Orchids in the house representing us culture starved UKanians
	4:04pm modchick65: Hi Georgina!!! I can't even imagine how cool it would have been to have had your wonderful experiences. I hope you'll hang out with us here.
	4:06pm JtotheK: hi everybody!
	4:06pm georgina: That's right we were 14/15
	4:07pm spidermank: my lang has been chang'd , wikkid cool as
	4:07pm sugarwerewolf: My prom had Billy Joel, the class before had the same song, whyyy. listener james, I would go to an X-Ray Spex prom!!
	4:07pm statoj: Georgina! Love those Orchids! I will never forgive Murray the K for not playing this on WINS in 1964 (when I, a 13 yr old, was listening religiously. Thanks for joining us today!
	4:08pm georgina: Hi everyone. Props to Sheila for keeping 45s alive!!
	4:09pm georgina: Thanks for all the great comments.
	4:12pm JtotheK: Darrow Fletcher, yeah!
	4:12pm listener james from westwood: @sugarwerewolf: We almost had U2's "With or Without You" as our prom song. Think of that song's beat for a moment and try to imagine dancing to that. This is what we got for having a prom committee made up mostly of Catholic brothers with the aesthetic sense of asphalt.
	4:13pm spidermank: Evening Georgina, thanks for hanging about here. I bet you have many ace stories , can you spill any juicy beans on us?
	4:13pm Todd-o-phonic: @Georgina: "Mr. Scrooge" is one of my all-time fave Xmas songs! Love Hit Me!
	4:13pm Linda Lee: hello georgina! fantastic record! hope we hear more on the show! totally gear.
	4:15pm listener james from westwood: LOVE "Jeopardy," LOVE Weird Al's "I Lost on Jeopardy."
	4:15pm georgina: spidermank -Unfortunately 'Mr. Scrooge' was the song we disliked the most! Sorry :(
	4:16pm TIMURF: this is a cover of that weird al song
	4:16pm djsheilab: @James The 12" mix of "Jeopardy" is a gem but no 12"s allowed today.
	4:16pm sugarwerewolf: @listener james: they probably didn't want you slow dancing! Or fast dancing.
	4:18pm djsheilab: You can never go wrong with a Thom Bell writing credit. NO SIREEEEE!
	4:19pm listener james from westwood: It was the first school dance I attended where the boys and girls got anything resembling close to each other!
	4:20pm Michael N: I would slow dance with Sheila B anytime If I wasn't in my mid 40s and uncoordinated :)
	4:22pm Michael N: Wow, Francoise Hardy looks beautiful on that cover
	4:23pm mmoore: Oi Oi my sweet sheils! XO M
	4:24pm djsheilab: MOOOOOOOGS!!! So happy to see you on here!
	4:27pm Guido from Cologne: killer track (from what comp do i remember this?)
	4:28pm modchick65: Not to be confused with "Teach Me Tiger," which is another pretty amazing song.
	4:28pm Todd-o-phonic: Bonny St. Clair rules + she looks like she would be hard to tame.
	4:29pm djsheilab: "Teach Me Tiger"! So good and SO odd. I never understand that car crash sound in the intro, and then the assumption that they had run out of gas.
	4:30pm Guido from Cologne: ... or Auger / Discroll's "Tiger" ... not exactly girl-pop but also great
	4:31pm statoj: Bonny St.Claire- love those 60's patterned tights!
	4:32pm Guido from Cologne: whow!
	4:33pm statoj: Julie Driscill- would to hear some of her in a future show. "I wish I knew how it would feel to be free"
	4:36pm Listener Robert: Why should participating DJs adhere this slavishly to the project? If you want to play a cut from a LP, would doing so be awful?
	4:44pm spidermank: He was a usual music biz wanker and you beat him , such a great story , great show , cheers Sheila B.:
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...heh. & from a collection of Hollies rarities I picked up the phrase 'Not the Hits Again!' - sort of my motto now...
	4:46pm spidermank: I,m off to eat , have a top friday everyone , catcha archived
	4:46pm Carmichael: OK, back from my luncheon and ready to strap in again.
	4:46pm Guido from Cologne: Just learned "Tame Me Tiger" is NederBeat. Gives me a hint from where I might remember it. I have it somewhere.
	4:48pm Chris M.: wow that got emotional
	4:48pm Guido from Cologne: how great is this?
	4:48pm djsheilab: Thanks for listening @spidermank!
	4:49pm djsheilab: That's gonna happen to me one day on the air, @Chris M.
	4:50pm Todd-o-phonic: This record is so sad it makes me cry harder than Ada...thanks for ruining my afternoon Sheila!
	4:51pm Chris M.: @djsheilab: it happens to me almost every week!
	4:51pm cbawcd: Geez Louise...finally got off work!
	4:54pm Guido from Cologne: where do you find french singles in such good condition?
	4:54pm Adrian in London: sneaking away for a minute We're all loving the show, even if it's in the background. Did I hear you mention Beano's earlier? It was 10 mins away from me. I miss it, even if my poor wallet doesn't!
	5:00pm Sissophonic Cheryl: One of my all time faves!
	5:00pm modchick65: Omg. I love the Turtles. That said, I always imagined them looking more like the Buckinghams.
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Flo & Eddie look like turtles :) ...
	5:03pm modchick65: The Smiths' "Sweet and Tender Hooligan" uses "et cetera," but, oddly, Morrissey seems to be saying "ec cetera."
	5:04pm sugarwerewolf: I was just about to mention Sweet and Tender Hooligan
	5:04pm statoj: That's cause he speaks British.
	5:05pm JakeGhould: So… Who was that crazy producer/boss Sheila was talking about a few songs back?
	5:07pm Chris M.: for a second i thought Nico was going to ask for pledges
	5:08pm listener james from westwood: Oof, this is a firebomb of a track right here.
	5:08pm modchick65: I have to go catch a train. Hope everyone has a great rest of the show, and I'll check out the last hour next week!
	5:12pm JakeGhould: @sugarwerewolf: “In the midst of life we are in death etc.” Yada, yada, yada…
	5:15pm djsheilab: Akkkkk! That false ending got me!
	5:17pm JakeGhould: Stupid sneaking 45s.
	5:19pm listener james from westwood: The "Take These Broken Wings" vibe is strong with this Harry track.
	5:20pm djsheilab: Oh yeah, I had never noticed that before @James.
	5:20pm JakeGhould: And here comes the saxamaphone!
	5:35pm Chris M.: playing the same record over and over is great
	5:35pm Todd-o-phonic: Hey Joe McGasko maybe you should play the good records twice and skip the bad ones!
	5:35pm MONEYBAG$: Stashu will play the same song 7 times in one show
	5:36pm Carmichael: There's a great 3 minute white-board presentation on YouTube by the Turtles, showing the layers of management and wankers that screwed them over in the music biz. Hilarious, well worth watching.
	5:36pm Todd-o-phonic: REALLY GONNA SHAKE!!!! BEST RECORD EVER!!!!
	5:36pm sugarwerewolf: Some DJs play a lot of the same songs and some do not, so whatever you want to do is fine!!
	5:38pm JakeGhould: Don’t listen to Joe McGasko. He once played ABC’s “When Smokey Sings” and said nobody could hate that song. I heard that song on his show. I hate that song. Anyone who likes that song can’t be trusted. I mean ABC and that song? PS: Also, Scopitone is pronounced, SCOPE-IH-TONE. Just saying. Respect.
	5:41pm marianne !: yes,,,Socks.Knocked.Off. just saying
	5:41pm djsheilab: Yay! Glad it worked for you @marianne!
	5:42pm Carmichael: I believe "the Boys" were the group The Action, but not positive. I have some of their stuff on the Roots of Rock comp.
	5:42pm Joe McG: Why are people talking about me? Hi, Shelia B! :)
	5:43pm djsheilab: You're in BIG trouble Joe!
	5:43pm scuzfink1: I am new to the show and am enjoying it immensely. You have quite enjoyably diverse tastes in music which is why I've been an FMU listener since the station started. I don't usually get to listen at this time so...seeya in the archives!
	5:44pm Joe McG: @djsheliab: As usual! ;)
	5:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Carmichael: You are correct about Boys/Action connection! @Joe McG: people are always talking about you!
	5:44pm JakeGhould: @JoeMcG: I disagree with your enjoyment of ABC’s “When Smokey Sings.” I hate that song so much. It’s like the song they play on the short bus when going on road trips to the zoo with mentally challenged kids.
	5:44pm Guido from Cologne: Is this Ivor Raymonde arranging?
	5:45pm djsheilab: I have a little devil on my shoulder now named Joe McGasko, who berates me when I think of playing the same record 2x!
	5:45pm Joe McG: @djsheilab: I once played that Sylvie Vartan song you played earlier 3 times in a row!
	5:46pm JakeGhould: No disrespect @JoeMcG, but “When Smokie Sings” is my Susquehanna Hat Company.
	5:48pm listener james from westwood: Taking the show into the car for its last lovely minutes! Thanks, Sheila!
	5:49pm Carmichael: These 2 gals were at SXSW ...
	5:49pm djsheilab: @Guido It wasn't Ivor Raymonde. A guy named Zack Lawrence.
	5:51pm djsheilab: @Carmichael. That's right! They are a riot. Or were. I think they disbanded years ago. Shame!
	5:52pm Cliff: Really liking this one (With Every Heartbeat).
	5:53pm Guido from Cologne: Thanks for the info Sheila! Zack Lawrence seems like a name worth to remember
	5:53pm Guido from Cologne: but great vocals from helen also
	5:53pm JakeGhould: Great show! Thanks for being here! Please do not ever play “When Smokey Sings.”
	5:55pm djsheilab: How is my show almost over???!!! I have at least 23 more 45s to play you. All of your comments have kept me so energized. It's a total pleasure.
	5:55pm Jesse K: Thanks Sheilab, such a great show!
	5:56pm Carmichael: Multiply 23 by 45 and divide by the square root of infinity. That's how much time you have left. Or how much time you have used up.
	5:57pm JakeGhould: “I have at least 23 more 45s to play you.” No math on a Friday, plz.
	5:57pm Guido from Cologne: thank you so much Sheila
	5:59pm Cliff: Thanks Sheila! See you next week! :D
	5:59pm The Contessa: Great show! Thank you from us all xx
	6:00pm Cliff: I should start tuning in at work, instead of when I get home from it....
	6:02pm djsheilab: Thank you for tuning in + commenting + for being so great. Have a good one!
	6:02pm P-90: Domo Arigato Gozaimasu, Sheila B!

	3:18pm djsheilab: The French + the Japanese are so brilliant at ultra-melodic 80s synth-pop. They're not afraid to REALLLLLY go for it.

	3:40pm djsheilab: Hey @Lisa! Just found that Heart Beats record in LA. Great shop called the Record Parlour for any of you Los Angelinos listening.

	3:43pm listener james from westwood: Had not previously heard that Wilde; just the two Big Hits. But this Jets cut, oh, yes, I'm back in my parents' living room doing homework w/ the radio on!
	3:44pm modchick65: Is this the Jets? Wow... I still remember the words to this song. This once is a total high school dance song.

	3:58pm Guido from Cologne: ... i just was ybout to say "original" release was a Kent LP in the 80ies
	3:59pm Guido from Cologne: Any story why the didn't put this out back in the day?
	3:59pm statoj: Melba Moore. from the Original Cast of HAIR. I love this show! More than my public library! ( and that is saying a lot.)
	4:01pm listener james from westwood: That Jet would've been such a better prom song than ours; spring 1987, Phil Collins, "In Too Deep." Blergh.
	4:02pm listener james from westwood: I want the sort of prom where the big slow-dance song is "Germ-Free Adolescents."
	4:03pm spidermank: eyup and biggup Georgina and the Orchids in the house representing us culture starved UKanians
	4:04pm modchick65: Hi Georgina!!! I can't even imagine how cool it would have been to have had your wonderful experiences. I hope you'll hang out with us here.
	4:06pm JtotheK: hi everybody!
	4:06pm georgina: That's right we were 14/15
	4:07pm spidermank: my lang has been chang'd , wikkid cool as
	4:07pm sugarwerewolf: My prom had Billy Joel, the class before had the same song, whyyy. listener james, I would go to an X-Ray Spex prom!!
	4:07pm statoj: Georgina! Love those Orchids! I will never forgive Murray the K for not playing this on WINS in 1964 (when I, a 13 yr old, was listening religiously. Thanks for joining us today!
	4:08pm georgina: Hi everyone. Props to Sheila for keeping 45s alive!!
	4:09pm georgina: Thanks for all the great comments.
	4:12pm JtotheK: Darrow Fletcher, yeah!
	4:12pm listener james from westwood: @sugarwerewolf: We almost had U2's "With or Without You" as our prom song. Think of that song's beat for a moment and try to imagine dancing to that. This is what we got for having a prom committee made up mostly of Catholic brothers with the aesthetic sense of asphalt.
	4:13pm spidermank: Evening Georgina, thanks for hanging about here. I bet you have many ace stories , can you spill any juicy beans on us?
	4:13pm Todd-o-phonic: @Georgina: "Mr. Scrooge" is one of my all-time fave Xmas songs! Love Hit Me!
	4:13pm Linda Lee: hello georgina! fantastic record! hope we hear more on the show! totally gear.
	4:15pm listener james from westwood: LOVE "Jeopardy," LOVE Weird Al's "I Lost on Jeopardy."
	4:15pm georgina: spidermank -Unfortunately 'Mr. Scrooge' was the song we disliked the most! Sorry :(
	4:16pm TIMURF: this is a cover of that weird al song
	4:16pm djsheilab: @James The 12" mix of "Jeopardy" is a gem but no 12"s allowed today.
	4:16pm sugarwerewolf: @listener james: they probably didn't want you slow dancing! Or fast dancing.
	4:18pm djsheilab: You can never go wrong with a Thom Bell writing credit. NO SIREEEEE!
	4:19pm listener james from westwood: It was the first school dance I attended where the boys and girls got anything resembling close to each other!
	4:20pm Michael N: I would slow dance with Sheila B anytime If I wasn't in my mid 40s and uncoordinated :)
	4:22pm Michael N: Wow, Francoise Hardy looks beautiful on that cover
	4:23pm mmoore: Oi Oi my sweet sheils! XO M
	4:24pm djsheilab: MOOOOOOOGS!!! So happy to see you on here!
	4:27pm Guido from Cologne: killer track (from what comp do i remember this?)
	4:28pm modchick65: Not to be confused with "Teach Me Tiger," which is another pretty amazing song.
	4:28pm Todd-o-phonic: Bonny St. Clair rules + she looks like she would be hard to tame.
	4:29pm djsheilab: "Teach Me Tiger"! So good and SO odd. I never understand that car crash sound in the intro, and then the assumption that they had run out of gas.
	4:30pm Guido from Cologne: ... or Auger / Discroll's "Tiger" ... not exactly girl-pop but also great
	4:31pm statoj: Bonny St.Claire- love those 60's patterned tights!
	4:32pm Guido from Cologne: whow!
	4:33pm statoj: Julie Driscill- would to hear some of her in a future show. "I wish I knew how it would feel to be free"
	4:36pm Listener Robert: Why should participating DJs adhere this slavishly to the project? If you want to play a cut from a LP, would doing so be awful?
	4:44pm spidermank: He was a usual music biz wanker and you beat him , such a great story , great show , cheers Sheila B.:
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...heh. & from a collection of Hollies rarities I picked up the phrase 'Not the Hits Again!' - sort of my motto now...
	4:46pm spidermank: I,m off to eat , have a top friday everyone , catcha archived
	4:46pm Carmichael: OK, back from my luncheon and ready to strap in again.
	4:46pm Guido from Cologne: Just learned "Tame Me Tiger" is NederBeat. Gives me a hint from where I might remember it. I have it somewhere.
	4:48pm Chris M.: wow that got emotional
	4:48pm Guido from Cologne: how great is this?
	4:48pm djsheilab: Thanks for listening @spidermank!
	4:49pm djsheilab: That's gonna happen to me one day on the air, @Chris M.
	4:50pm Todd-o-phonic: This record is so sad it makes me cry harder than Ada...thanks for ruining my afternoon Sheila!
	4:51pm Chris M.: @djsheilab: it happens to me almost every week!
	4:51pm cbawcd: Geez Louise...finally got off work!
	4:54pm Guido from Cologne: where do you find french singles in such good condition?
	4:54pm Adrian in London: sneaking away for a minute We're all loving the show, even if it's in the background. Did I hear you mention Beano's earlier? It was 10 mins away from me. I miss it, even if my poor wallet doesn't!
	5:00pm Sissophonic Cheryl: One of my all time faves!
	5:00pm modchick65: Omg. I love the Turtles. That said, I always imagined them looking more like the Buckinghams.
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Flo & Eddie look like turtles :) ...
	5:03pm modchick65: The Smiths' "Sweet and Tender Hooligan" uses "et cetera," but, oddly, Morrissey seems to be saying "ec cetera."
	5:04pm sugarwerewolf: I was just about to mention Sweet and Tender Hooligan
	5:04pm statoj: That's cause he speaks British.
	5:05pm JakeGhould: So… Who was that crazy producer/boss Sheila was talking about a few songs back?
	5:07pm Chris M.: for a second i thought Nico was going to ask for pledges
	5:08pm listener james from westwood: Oof, this is a firebomb of a track right here.
	5:08pm modchick65: I have to go catch a train. Hope everyone has a great rest of the show, and I'll check out the last hour next week!
	5:12pm JakeGhould: @sugarwerewolf: “In the midst of life we are in death etc.” Yada, yada, yada…
	5:15pm djsheilab: Akkkkk! That false ending got me!
	5:17pm JakeGhould: Stupid sneaking 45s.
	5:19pm listener james from westwood: The "Take These Broken Wings" vibe is strong with this Harry track.
	5:20pm djsheilab: Oh yeah, I had never noticed that before @James.
	5:20pm JakeGhould: And here comes the saxamaphone!
	5:35pm Chris M.: playing the same record over and over is great
	5:35pm Todd-o-phonic: Hey Joe McGasko maybe you should play the good records twice and skip the bad ones!
	5:35pm MONEYBAG$: Stashu will play the same song 7 times in one show
	5:36pm Carmichael: There's a great 3 minute white-board presentation on YouTube by the Turtles, showing the layers of management and wankers that screwed them over in the music biz. Hilarious, well worth watching.
	5:36pm Todd-o-phonic: REALLY GONNA SHAKE!!!! BEST RECORD EVER!!!!
	5:36pm sugarwerewolf: Some DJs play a lot of the same songs and some do not, so whatever you want to do is fine!!
	5:38pm JakeGhould: Don’t listen to Joe McGasko. He once played ABC’s “When Smokey Sings” and said nobody could hate that song. I heard that song on his show. I hate that song. Anyone who likes that song can’t be trusted. I mean ABC and that song? PS: Also, Scopitone is pronounced, SCOPE-IH-TONE. Just saying. Respect.
	5:41pm marianne !: yes,,,Socks.Knocked.Off. just saying
	5:41pm djsheilab: Yay! Glad it worked for you @marianne!
	5:42pm Carmichael: I believe "the Boys" were the group The Action, but not positive. I have some of their stuff on the Roots of Rock comp.
	5:42pm Joe McG: Why are people talking about me? Hi, Shelia B! :)
	5:43pm djsheilab: You're in BIG trouble Joe!
	5:43pm scuzfink1: I am new to the show and am enjoying it immensely. You have quite enjoyably diverse tastes in music which is why I've been an FMU listener since the station started. I don't usually get to listen at this time so...seeya in the archives!
	5:44pm Joe McG: @djsheliab: As usual! ;)
	5:44pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Carmichael: You are correct about Boys/Action connection! @Joe McG: people are always talking about you!
	5:44pm JakeGhould: @JoeMcG: I disagree with your enjoyment of ABC’s “When Smokey Sings.” I hate that song so much. It’s like the song they play on the short bus when going on road trips to the zoo with mentally challenged kids.
	5:44pm Guido from Cologne: Is this Ivor Raymonde arranging?
	5:45pm djsheilab: I have a little devil on my shoulder now named Joe McGasko, who berates me when I think of playing the same record 2x!
	5:45pm Joe McG: @djsheilab: I once played that Sylvie Vartan song you played earlier 3 times in a row!
	5:46pm JakeGhould: No disrespect @JoeMcG, but “When Smokie Sings” is my Susquehanna Hat Company.
	5:48pm listener james from westwood: Taking the show into the car for its last lovely minutes! Thanks, Sheila!
	5:49pm Carmichael: These 2 gals were at SXSW ...
	5:49pm djsheilab: @Guido It wasn't Ivor Raymonde. A guy named Zack Lawrence.
	5:51pm djsheilab: @Carmichael. That's right! They are a riot. Or were. I think they disbanded years ago. Shame!
	5:52pm Cliff: Really liking this one (With Every Heartbeat).
	5:53pm Guido from Cologne: Thanks for the info Sheila! Zack Lawrence seems like a name worth to remember
	5:53pm Guido from Cologne: but great vocals from helen also
	5:53pm JakeGhould: Great show! Thanks for being here! Please do not ever play “When Smokey Sings.”
	5:55pm djsheilab: How is my show almost over???!!! I have at least 23 more 45s to play you. All of your comments have kept me so energized. It's a total pleasure.
	5:55pm Jesse K: Thanks Sheilab, such a great show!
	5:56pm Carmichael: Multiply 23 by 45 and divide by the square root of infinity. That's how much time you have left. Or how much time you have used up.
	5:57pm JakeGhould: “I have at least 23 more 45s to play you.” No math on a Friday, plz.
	5:57pm Guido from Cologne: thank you so much Sheila
	5:59pm Cliff: Thanks Sheila! See you next week! :D
	5:59pm The Contessa: Great show! Thank you from us all xx
	6:00pm Cliff: I should start tuning in at work, instead of when I get home from it....
	6:02pm djsheilab: Thank you for tuning in + commenting + for being so great. Have a good one!
	6:02pm P-90: Domo Arigato Gozaimasu, Sheila B!
