Sinister: I'd Rod-ther Go Blind/Good Time

I agree with Nick that "On Stage Tonight - Baldry's Out!" looks like the
best bet for hot "I'd rather Go Blind" action. BUT! won't it have Rod
Stewart on vocals? Jean Knight does it too, along with "My Toot Toot". While
I was searching for these treats I came across that Brian Wilson tribute
album featuring the entire population of Glasgow, and thought I was one step
ahead of the pack when I saw Stevie Jackson on it, but a quick search of the
archives shows me to be hopelessly out of date. But I do know where the song
comes from, sort of. It was on a bootleg with a picture of an indian on the
front. And I think there was a version by Spring, or American Spring or
whatever. It features a reference to falsies, which I hope Stevie has kept
in. Is the organ Beans-driven? Is the album any good? I picked it up to have
a look at it the other day, but I was so disgusted by the presence of Eugene
Kelly that I put it down again before I got to Stevie.

I've got a Northern Soul book, so watch out!

Picnic solution: why not have two picnics, one for Magnetic Fields fans and
one for anybody with some semblance of intelligence? Yeah, that's right...
hold on, this isn't going to work, is it? No one wants to have a fight about
the Magnetic Fields. They are rubbish, you know. No? Oh bloody sod yer then.

Idleberry, I have heard B&S is in the cinema, at kicking out time.
