'Love will Keep Us Together' by Neil Sedaka and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' by Joy Division (which took its title from the former) were both originally recorded in the same room. Strawberry Studios, Stockport.
'Blue Monday' by New Order was released 40 years ago today.
The weird original die-cut sleeve was costing more to produce than the record was making, so later pressings had a cheaper re-designed sleeve with no holes in it.
I have often said that just after changing to a high protein, very low carb way of eating that I starting sleeping at night after lifelong insomnia. I have wondered why but this interesting study seems to provide a reason ~
The Mk2 Ford Escort RS 2000 had a base model which had deep steel wheels instead of the usual RS alloys, and standard Escort seats in place of the Recaros with fishnet headrests. I'm sure everyone here will be as thrilled as I was to learn this.
Debate has raged for years over the real reason for the label on the Imperial Leather bar of soap.
The sticker is known for remaining secure even after weeks of use as the bar slowly wears away- with many fans joking they wish they had a 'relationship as strong'. But now it's been revealed that the scratchy metallic label is actually a stand to stop the bar sticking to the soap dish.
I knew, possibly because the Cussons factory was just up the road from my childhood home in Salford. Many of our neighbours worked there and it made our neighbourhood smell lovely.
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
I can’t remember the last time that I used bar soap, but when I did the Imperial Leather label was always face upwards on the soap dish. No wonder it often went slimy.
However, from memory, I thought the label was slightly recessed into the bar so I don’t know how that could make contact with the soap dish. 🤔
That's what I always bought when we used bar soap - that or Pears. I do remember that the label stood proud of the soap but I always pulled it off at the first available moment - no slime though as we had ridged soap dishes.
Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.
