	3:33pm Daybreak and the different Friday!: Are you kidding that was the smoothest set of songs I’ve heard in a long time! I would’ve had no idea they had awkward endings because they just blended one into the next into the next but changing beautifully.
	3:34pm Arnisador13: US GRRRRRLS!!!!
	3:34pm Michael 98145: aloha, friends

	3:42pm Jett: Always liked Marlena Shaw a lot! Cool.
	3:42pm ?: Hello Sheila! I'm here diggin' all of it. Man I love this Marlena Shaw version of Roberta Flack. Lou Rawls also did a good record of it. Thanks!
	3:43pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: I need to find me a copy of this Marlena Shaw LP. Wow. And I agree with Jake: Perfect amount of surface noise.
	3:43pm lp-cover-lover: I guess now I'm ? !
	3:43pm djsheilab: Just the right amount, huh?—Jake Gould
	3:44pm djsheilab: I thought ? might've been you, lp-cover-lover!

	3:48pm djsheilab: Hey cheri the duff!
	3:49pm Handy Haversack: Did Joe McG play this this week ... or something off this album? It's fantastic.
	3:49pm Daybreak and the different Friday!: Ah WFMU! One of the VERY last places You can hear a great record snap, crackle, and pop!
	3:50pm Jett: Another great one from Reparata and the Delrons!
	3:51pm Dave Spice: Surface noise is the sound you hear at 5 a.m. after falling asleep on the sofa and the turntable arm is stuck in the run out groove of the disc.
	3:51pm Michael 98145: and the cat has to wake you
	3:52pm passiflora: :)
	3:52pm Michael 98145: ! :)
	3:52pm Jett: I love Blondie!
	3:53pm P-90: Love for Look in My Diary
	3:53pm Dave Spice: @Michael 98145 - that really made me laugh out loud.
	3:54pm Rob Kopp: The scratches remind me of a big one in my Blondie single In the flesh. When I bought a new copy I missed that scratch!
	3:54pm Arnisador13: gotta love jerseys Own Blondie!
	3:57pm djsheilab: Lotsa nicely worn vinyl in this set, although this one sounds quite new.
	3:58pm P-90: Slinky, sleek, seductive segues, Sheila
	3:59pm djsheilab: Thank you for paying me my favorite of compliments, P-90!
	3:59pm Rob Kopp: I only understood the last 2 words: fool you
	4:01pm Rob Kopp: I only hear women sing these languages on SBB. Love it
	4:03pm Rob Kopp: This song is getting better and better
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: That's one useful cat! And surprisingly legal!
	4:08pm xtrakrispy: Who is going to Boom Boom in the Night with the Sophisticated Ladies (and one guy) of the Bush Tetras at Le Poussin Rouge tonight?
	4:09pm JakeGould: Haha! Sheila didn’t go in the normal way in the bathroom!
	4:09pm Booz: RIP The Dance. It was small, nice, and had great acoustics and sightlines. Not to mention that spiral staircase for dramatic entrances. Glad I at least got to see one show there.
	4:09pm Handy Haversack: I am, @xtrakrispy!
	4:10pm choggie: Bash it girl, the biggest cities are the litmus for the planet, the most corrupt and in social decay. Just lookit the history. Gangsters, graft, and chislers.
	4:10pm Jett: Wendy Rene is highly underrated, the girl can sing! Love that compilation.
	4:11pm choggie: ....not to mention the WHACK politics of NY and Chicago, LA
	4:11pm Rob Kopp: me too, and this is the best track on it
	4:11pm JtotheK: Great Wendy Rene comp. Hiya SheilaB, hi everyone.
	4:12pm Paul D: Hi Sheila great show! Happy Friday!
	4:12pm Matt Fiveash: Breakfast in Bed! Yes!
	4:13pm xtrakrispy: Great HH! Say hello. I'm wearing an FMU "tape rat" shirt at the moment. (that could change at any moment though...)
	4:14pm Jett: @sheilab I spent a lot of time at CBGB also, and early years of Max's Kansas City also, before the lame jersey crowd moved in. I used to love just talking with Hilly, he was a great guy.
	4:14pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hello Sheila and everybody! I'm tardy due to veggie pho. I can't guarantee it won't happen again.
	4:14pm JakeGould: To be fair, modern Manhattan hates clubs. Used to be so many varied choices. And no idea what the backstory of “The Dance” is but right on Lafayette Street in the Village and it’s now gone? Strange. Why do people go to the Village nowadays if they don’t work or live there nowadays.
	4:15pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and boomers. Just in from luncheon, reading the page and nailing down my Friday workload.
	4:15pm djsheilab: Matt Fiveash—YEAH! And what a luscious vocal on this version!
	4:16pm Handy Haversack: Will do! I'll, uh, be wearing black ... currently a T-shirt that says MAGEBLADE! and a western shirt. Maybe Kate or I will put on the orange WFMU watch cap.
	4:17pm djsheilab: Hey Paul D, JtotheK, tim from champaign, + Carmichael!
	4:17pm Matt Fiveash: Love that version almost as much as Dusty's. Carmen McRae's version kills too if you don't know it already.
	4:19pm Carmichael: Stereolab! My favorite band these days; their 2019 Primavera set (on Youtube) is incredible.
	4:20pm Handy Haversack: @Camichael, sometimes I forget how amazing this band is. Have been reminded twice today!
	4:23pm djsheilab: Matt Fiveash—Dusty's renditions of basically everything are always the ones I prefer. But I like the sauciness of Lorna Bennett's version.
	4:23pm djsheilab: Finally some German on this program :)
	4:24pm diciassette: Thanks for the German!
	4:25pm JakeGould: Who knew German synths could be so dark? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	4:27pm djsheilab: Heartbreak o'clock!
	4:27pm Michael 98145: sweet
	4:28pm Handy Haversack: Goodness.
	4:28pm Dave Spice: There were a set of decent sets compiled a few years back - Really! They Sing It In German - Not all female fronted songs but enough to make them worth checking out.
	4:29pm brandon: this alice boman reminds me of princess chelsea
	4:29pm djsheilab: brandon—I don't know her. It's very Julee Cruise too.
	4:30pm brandon: i think you’d love princess cheslea. new zealand. young lady. i love her.
	4:30pm djsheilab: And now for the breathy French man :)
	4:30pm P-90: That WAS some nice German. And not “too Schlagery”.
	4:31pm djsheilab: brandon—Thanks!
	4:34pm Daybreak and the different Friday!: Oh Sheila! Let us breathe too!!!!
	4:34pm Jett: I still prefer Dusty's version, but Lorna's is nice.
	4:35pm Jett: Julee Cruise is quite brilliant!
	4:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): und = and
	4:36pm P-90: dreams and existence
	4:38pm brainiac: Speaking of heavy breathing Frenchmen, Jane Birkin remembers Serge Gainsbourg today at: https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2020/02/21/amanpour-jane-birkin-serge-gainsbourg.cnn
	4:39pm MG: This is why I love and support this show! What a great cover of Rizzo's song :)
	4:39pm Michael 98145: { always thought House of Greece would be a terrible name for a resturant }
	4:39pm Booz: Joan Wasser played backup for Aldous Harding at a show a couple years ago. She was (either surprisingly or unsurprisingly) perfect.
	4:40pm djsheilab: Awww....thank you MG!
	4:42pm Michael 98145: now we're talkin
	4:43pm Matt Fiveash: Speaking of Dusty, this Joan as Police Woman song reminds me of You Don't Have To Say You Love Me somehow.
	4:43pm Jett: You mentioned "Be My Baby" as the greatest girl group record, Well for me it is "Maybe" by The Chantels.
	4:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): Nice Loverboy spoof on the Joan as Police Woman record.
	4:44pm Cooh John: For sure they don't make them like that anymore.
	4:44pm michael z: I just got to join. Two fabulous songs in a row. It's hard to believe they are 63 years apart. They have a similar power and sense of longing.
	4:46pm Michael 98145: @tim, heh! forgot about that ... www.discogs.com... :)
	4:46pm djsheilab: Michael Z.! You came at the right time. What a treat to play those back to back.
	4:46pm Toothgrinder Tom: This Japanese Lazy Bones sung by a non-Japanese is quite bizarre.
	4:47pm Monica: :) lovely hoagy tune, mizz b.!
	4:48pm Toothgrinder Tom: @Michael98145 there’s an Indian restaurant I pass on the way to work each day named ‘Rochi’.
	4:48pm Michael 98145: yikes
	4:48pm Booz: Is this that Twilight Zone song??
	4:48pm Matt Fiveash: It's the scary twilight zone folk song!
	4:48pm Jett: Wow! from Twilight Zone, Come Wander With Me. Cool!
	4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: AhHa. I was thinking Wicker Man Not Quite...
	4:49pm Marcel M: THE TWILIGHT ZONE SONG!!!! love it. Don't follow her song into the woods!!!
	4:50pm Booz: @RRN63 Not too far off the Wicker vibe, is it?
	4:50pm Michael 98145: glad to know this is on disc
	4:50pm djsheilab: Hey Monica! And isn't her attempt at Japanese quite sweet :)
	4:50pm Stillwell Coney Islander: The Chantels were my favorite girl group back in the 50s, I tried so hard to sing like Arlene Smith - She and the girls were outstanding singers and musicians.
	4:54pm djsheilab: Scott Williams just walked in to say how the Bonnie Beecher is a big favorite of his. Lotsa love for that one!
	4:55pm Monica: indeed, sheila! an under-the-radar gem that appeared on a rare Chronological Classics odds'n'ends comp many moons ago. did not know swing time reissued as well. that's why we come here.
	4:56pm Carmichael: Bonnie's married to Wavy Gravy!
	4:56pm Scott Williams: Thank you for playing it, Sheila! What a mood. And yep, what Carmichael said ^^
	4:57pm Vanessa Tara: look in my eyes ... fave chantels song
	4:57pm djsheilab: Hey Marcel M, Toothgrinder Tom + RRNov 63!
	4:57pm Jett: The producers of the Twilight Zone originally wanted Liza Minnelli to play that part, eventually they settled on Bonnie Beecher.
	4:57pm ami ad: Hello D.J.Hello all.Friday fun day on WFMU.Thanks and Praise.
	4:58pm Vanessa Tara: i have some midge williams around somewhere
	4:59pm tim from champaign (now washington): Uh, Sheila, I think you left the mic on. We can hear your snarls ;)
	5:00pm diciassette: 猫
	5:00pm Carmichael: BTW, "Cover 2" is a style of defense played in the NFL.
	5:00pm dale: good afternoon. this is smooooooooooooth.
	5:01pm djsheilab: Hello ami ad, dale, Stillwell Coney Islander + all checking in on this fine afternoon!
	5:01pm Jett: I love djsheilab's snarls! Nice choice Dionne!
	5:05pm P-90: Purring, maybe. Barking probably no...
	5:06pm jay: Awesome. It’s a nice fri night here in deustchland. Good to hear your voice and the interesting samples you play...
	5:07pm chalmers: “Do I hear dogs barking on that thing?” “I do.” “Good, aren’t they?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYQ-g99V_cQ
	5:07pm P-90: “Come Wander with Me” is indeed a classic, well worth a watch.
	5:08pm John from Florham park: @Shelia during the breaks in troubles show she plays birds which sounds good too
	5:10pm Jett: Very few Country female artists on your show, you may want to look into some of them.
	5:11pm djsheilab: Jett—You are right. But this is a pop show, which is also why you don't hear much hip hop, classical, etc.
	5:12pm Nuleba: OH SHOOT ITS HAKO
	5:13pm Jake: Is the CD skipping?
	5:16pm Jake: Or is my connection? Just curious.
	5:17pm djsheilab: Jake—I iz playing a record, not a CD.
	5:18pm dreamyandseedy: COME THE FUCK THRU BETTY!!!!! my favorite artist of all time
	5:19pm Jake: Crazy! I have some weird connection issue and it sounds like an old school CD skipping. Kinda made me nostalgic. Thanks!
	5:19pm Jonny Wulf: yes to Betty Davis!
	5:20pm jake6573: Great set Sheila B. , keep up the great work.
	5:20pm Dominick: oh hell yeah!
	5:20pm dreamyandseedy: talk about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:20pm tim from champaign (now washington): Betty Davis will FUNK you up bad!
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The wire in the circuit between Miles Davis & Jimi Hendrix.
	5:20pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—I had your request lined up and then accidentally played the wrong track!
	5:20pm Joe McG: Betty Davis, the one and only!
	5:20pm Toothgrinder Tom: Sheila-san, omoshirokatta ongaku arigatoo!
	5:20pm djsheilab: But I'm glad this did the trick!
	5:21pm Nuleba: favoriting a song here doesn't show up in the app?
	5:23pm P-90: LOVE her version
	5:23pm dale: this is fantastic.
	5:23pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Okay, so now I need this, too. Killer show, Sheila!
	5:24pm dreamyandseedy: sheila -- when it comes to betty there will NEVER be a wrong track!!!!!!!!!!
	5:25pm dreamyandseedy: now you have an excuse to play Special People some other time ;)
	5:26pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Hi Sheila Boom boom! Love Merry Clayton!
	5:26pm djsheilab: Haha! Yup—dreamyandseedy
	5:27pm Vanessa Tara: the last three lp covers look great together
	5:27pm Don F.: Sophisto-funk from Sheila B.!
	5:28pm mike tp: driving about..caught a handful of good tunes great night SHEILA......
	5:29pm P-90: girl-group goodness!
	5:30pm dale: this has a dr. goldfoot and the bikini machine vibe to it
	5:31pm Jett: Very similar @dale
	5:31pm frannie: @dale did you see the copy of dr. goldfoot and the bikini machine for sale on ebay recently? i was watching the auction the other week and it went up to $500 but then was relisted so i'm not sure what happened
	5:31pm happymaan: great show as always. thanks!
	5:31pm ParUbi: There's a good episode of Frontline which discusses the aftermath of the Flint crisis. Particular attention is given to the Legionella outbreak, which was under represented by the media.
	5:34pm dale: frannie - that sounds super sketchy.
	5:34pm carrots: Ddddddeeeeyyyammmmm!!!
	5:35pm carrots: feelin it
	5:35pm djsheilab: dale + frannie—I had NO idea that record was worth so much. Todd-O-Phonic-Todd got me a copy ages ago. God bless that man!
	5:36pm Jett: I don't consider anything you have to say rambling. I enjoy your opinions. @djsheilab "All Night Long" had heavy airplay at my house when it was a hit, haven't heard it in a while. Great record!
	5:38pm mr_mike: but why does this All Night Long sound different
	5:38pm Jett: I do believe the version I played out, was the Mary Jane Girls version.
	5:38pm dale: i'm gobsmacked sheila - i had no clue.
	5:39pm joanaspolicewoman: Shelia B! Thank you for playing my song and rapping about my new record!!
	5:41pm djsheilab: joanaspolicewoman—Oooooohh!! You're making my day. What a GORGEOUS cover! It's such a pleasure to support your fabulous releases. Xoxo
	5:42pm joanaspolicewoman: I so vastly appreciate it! That song made me cry every time I'd see that movie so I figured I'd have to cover it...
	5:46pm djsheilab: joanaspolicewoman—I feel you! You really did an outstanding job. Looking forward to hearing more of Covers Two.
	5:47pm Monica: thx for the lovely tunes today, sheila:)
	5:47pm djsheilab: Cover Two
	5:47pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: just made it in time to catch the tail end of the show!
	5:48pm Nuleba: oh to be a band.

	5:53pm P-90: AMEN re: the “ghastly” way we treat those who have become dependent on alcohol and drugs
	5:54pm porchy: Chasing the scream - can’t wait for the next show Sheila

	3:50pm Jett: Another great one from Reparata and the Delrons!
	3:51pm Dave Spice: Surface noise is the sound you hear at 5 a.m. after falling asleep on the sofa and the turntable arm is stuck in the run out groove of the disc.

	3:59pm Rob Kopp: I only understood the last 2 words: fool you

	4:03pm Rob Kopp: This song is getting better and better
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: That's one useful cat! And surprisingly legal!
	4:08pm xtrakrispy: Who is going to Boom Boom in the Night with the Sophisticated Ladies (and one guy) of the Bush Tetras at Le Poussin Rouge tonight?
	4:09pm JakeGould: Haha! Sheila didn’t go in the normal way in the bathroom!
	4:09pm Booz: RIP The Dance. It was small, nice, and had great acoustics and sightlines. Not to mention that spiral staircase for dramatic entrances. Glad I at least got to see one show there.
	4:09pm Handy Haversack: I am, @xtrakrispy!
	4:10pm choggie: Bash it girl, the biggest cities are the litmus for the planet, the most corrupt and in social decay. Just lookit the history. Gangsters, graft, and chislers.
	4:10pm Jett: Wendy Rene is highly underrated, the girl can sing! Love that compilation.
	4:11pm choggie: ....not to mention the WHACK politics of NY and Chicago, LA
	4:11pm Rob Kopp: me too, and this is the best track on it
	4:11pm JtotheK: Great Wendy Rene comp. Hiya SheilaB, hi everyone.
	4:12pm Paul D: Hi Sheila great show! Happy Friday!
	4:12pm Matt Fiveash: Breakfast in Bed! Yes!
	4:13pm xtrakrispy: Great HH! Say hello. I'm wearing an FMU "tape rat" shirt at the moment. (that could change at any moment though...)
	4:14pm Jett: @sheilab I spent a lot of time at CBGB also, and early years of Max's Kansas City also, before the lame jersey crowd moved in. I used to love just talking with Hilly, he was a great guy.
	4:14pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hello Sheila and everybody! I'm tardy due to veggie pho. I can't guarantee it won't happen again.
	4:14pm JakeGould: To be fair, modern Manhattan hates clubs. Used to be so many varied choices. And no idea what the backstory of “The Dance” is but right on Lafayette Street in the Village and it’s now gone? Strange. Why do people go to the Village nowadays if they don’t work or live there nowadays.
	4:15pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and boomers. Just in from luncheon, reading the page and nailing down my Friday workload.
	4:15pm djsheilab: Matt Fiveash—YEAH! And what a luscious vocal on this version!
	4:16pm Handy Haversack: Will do! I'll, uh, be wearing black ... currently a T-shirt that says MAGEBLADE! and a western shirt. Maybe Kate or I will put on the orange WFMU watch cap.
	4:17pm djsheilab: Hey Paul D, JtotheK, tim from champaign, + Carmichael!
	4:17pm Matt Fiveash: Love that version almost as much as Dusty's. Carmen McRae's version kills too if you don't know it already.
	4:19pm Carmichael: Stereolab! My favorite band these days; their 2019 Primavera set (on Youtube) is incredible.
	4:20pm Handy Haversack: @Camichael, sometimes I forget how amazing this band is. Have been reminded twice today!
	4:23pm djsheilab: Matt Fiveash—Dusty's renditions of basically everything are always the ones I prefer. But I like the sauciness of Lorna Bennett's version.
	4:23pm djsheilab: Finally some German on this program :)
	4:24pm diciassette: Thanks for the German!
	4:25pm JakeGould: Who knew German synths could be so dark? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	4:27pm djsheilab: Heartbreak o'clock!
	4:27pm Michael 98145: sweet
	4:28pm Handy Haversack: Goodness.
	4:28pm Dave Spice: There were a set of decent sets compiled a few years back - Really! They Sing It In German - Not all female fronted songs but enough to make them worth checking out.
	4:29pm brandon: this alice boman reminds me of princess chelsea
	4:29pm djsheilab: brandon—I don't know her. It's very Julee Cruise too.
	4:30pm brandon: i think you’d love princess cheslea. new zealand. young lady. i love her.
	4:30pm djsheilab: And now for the breathy French man :)
	4:30pm P-90: That WAS some nice German. And not “too Schlagery”.
	4:31pm djsheilab: brandon—Thanks!
	4:34pm Daybreak and the different Friday!: Oh Sheila! Let us breathe too!!!!
	4:34pm Jett: I still prefer Dusty's version, but Lorna's is nice.
	4:35pm Jett: Julee Cruise is quite brilliant!
	4:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): und = and
	4:36pm P-90: dreams and existence
	4:38pm brainiac: Speaking of heavy breathing Frenchmen, Jane Birkin remembers Serge Gainsbourg today at: https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2020/02/21/amanpour-jane-birkin-serge-gainsbourg.cnn
	4:39pm MG: This is why I love and support this show! What a great cover of Rizzo's song :)
	4:39pm Michael 98145: { always thought House of Greece would be a terrible name for a resturant }
	4:39pm Booz: Joan Wasser played backup for Aldous Harding at a show a couple years ago. She was (either surprisingly or unsurprisingly) perfect.
	4:40pm djsheilab: Awww....thank you MG!
	4:42pm Michael 98145: now we're talkin
	4:43pm Matt Fiveash: Speaking of Dusty, this Joan as Police Woman song reminds me of You Don't Have To Say You Love Me somehow.
	4:43pm Jett: You mentioned "Be My Baby" as the greatest girl group record, Well for me it is "Maybe" by The Chantels.
	4:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): Nice Loverboy spoof on the Joan as Police Woman record.
	4:44pm Cooh John: For sure they don't make them like that anymore.
	4:44pm michael z: I just got to join. Two fabulous songs in a row. It's hard to believe they are 63 years apart. They have a similar power and sense of longing.
	4:46pm Michael 98145: @tim, heh! forgot about that ... www.discogs.com... :)
	4:46pm djsheilab: Michael Z.! You came at the right time. What a treat to play those back to back.
	4:46pm Toothgrinder Tom: This Japanese Lazy Bones sung by a non-Japanese is quite bizarre.
	4:47pm Monica: :) lovely hoagy tune, mizz b.!
	4:48pm Toothgrinder Tom: @Michael98145 there’s an Indian restaurant I pass on the way to work each day named ‘Rochi’.
	4:48pm Michael 98145: yikes

	4:54pm djsheilab: Scott Williams just walked in to say how the Bonnie Beecher is a big favorite of his. Lotsa love for that one!
	4:55pm Monica: indeed, sheila! an under-the-radar gem that appeared on a rare Chronological Classics odds'n'ends comp many moons ago. did not know swing time reissued as well. that's why we come here.

	5:07pm P-90: “Come Wander with Me” is indeed a classic, well worth a watch.
	5:08pm John from Florham park: @Shelia during the breaks in troubles show she plays birds which sounds good too
	5:10pm Jett: Very few Country female artists on your show, you may want to look into some of them.
	5:11pm djsheilab: Jett—You are right. But this is a pop show, which is also why you don't hear much hip hop, classical, etc.
	5:12pm Nuleba: OH SHOOT ITS HAKO
	5:13pm Jake: Is the CD skipping?
	5:16pm Jake: Or is my connection? Just curious.
	5:17pm djsheilab: Jake—I iz playing a record, not a CD.
	5:18pm dreamyandseedy: COME THE FUCK THRU BETTY!!!!! my favorite artist of all time
	5:19pm Jake: Crazy! I have some weird connection issue and it sounds like an old school CD skipping. Kinda made me nostalgic. Thanks!

	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The wire in the circuit between Miles Davis & Jimi Hendrix.
	5:20pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—I had your request lined up and then accidentally played the wrong track!
	5:20pm Joe McG: Betty Davis, the one and only!
	5:20pm Toothgrinder Tom: Sheila-san, omoshirokatta ongaku arigatoo!
	5:20pm djsheilab: But I'm glad this did the trick!

	5:30pm dale: this has a dr. goldfoot and the bikini machine vibe to it
	5:31pm Jett: Very similar @dale
	5:31pm frannie: @dale did you see the copy of dr. goldfoot and the bikini machine for sale on ebay recently? i was watching the auction the other week and it went up to $500 but then was relisted so i'm not sure what happened
	5:31pm happymaan: great show as always. thanks!
	5:31pm ParUbi: There's a good episode of Frontline which discusses the aftermath of the Flint crisis. Particular attention is given to the Legionella outbreak, which was under represented by the media.
	5:34pm dale: frannie - that sounds super sketchy.
	5:34pm carrots: Ddddddeeeeyyyammmmm!!!
	5:35pm carrots: feelin it
	5:35pm djsheilab: dale + frannie—I had NO idea that record was worth so much. Todd-O-Phonic-Todd got me a copy ages ago. God bless that man!
	5:36pm Jett: I don't consider anything you have to say rambling. I enjoy your opinions. @djsheilab "All Night Long" had heavy airplay at my house when it was a hit, haven't heard it in a while. Great record!
	5:38pm mr_mike: but why does this All Night Long sound different
	5:38pm Jett: I do believe the version I played out, was the Mary Jane Girls version.
	5:38pm dale: i'm gobsmacked sheila - i had no clue.
