Try A Little Harder

You Never Do Right (My Baby)

I’m not going to lie to you…it’s hot. No matter how you look at it, summer is imposing itself rather decidedly and I for one am not amused. Summer is lovely and fine and all that, but the heat MY GOD THE HEAT! Be that as it may I must try to focus on the good of it all and of course there is much good. This weekend the warm weather prompted a little vinyl spinning and a not so little Margarita.

I can’t say I know very much about The Fi-Dels but I do know a cracking tune when I hear it. It was the ‘A-side’ that got to me but the ‘B-Side’ is truly wonderful in its own b-sidey way so as a summer treat I share both rarities.

Mike Ashworth, the Design & Heritage Manager for London Underground shares photographs of some recently discovered posters from 1956-1959. Found during recent renovations at the Notting Hill Gate tube station, the artwork isn’t accessible to the general public but thankfully they will be left in tact.
