Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now
mind that in 1972 "The Black & White Minstrel Show" was still one of the top rated TV shows, which tells you something about the era.
The Pearls were signed to the Bell label ? which had some hugely popular acts on their roster including the Bay City Rollers, Barry Blue, David Cassidy and Gary Glitter. The UK arm of the label focused mainly on commercial pop and the Pearls fitted into this perfectly. Interestingly the US arm tended to focus more on soul music.
A String of Pearls
Going back to my dad?s old Sanyo radio cassette recorder there was a song which was oft played by myself back in 1974 called ?Guilty?. Performed by the Pearls I loved it and have vague recollections of a Top of the Pops performance which incorporated judges? wigs. I have hunted high and low for this clip on the internet and sadly can only conclude it was ...
Wii Play:
I recently hired Wii play from Tesco DVD Rentals to see if I liked it before buying it and I enjoyed it a lot so I thought I would review it for all of you.
Wii Play is the kind of game that is great for when you have a group of friends around with several different mini-games to play.

There are seven different mini-games on Wii Play and these are:
Shooting Range: This is my favourite game and it involves shooting at various moving targets. There are five levels each with a different type of target each getting steadily more difficult. There are balloons, cans, targets, clay ...

Advantages: Great well known strings. Disadvantages: Suck with tone towards the end of their life.
will now explain :-) ( Thank god I hear you cry! )
The " SLINKY " thing is just part of the product name. For the names such as " 10's " are the guitarists slang for what gauge of string you are using.
This might not seem obvious, but because guitar strings are all strung to different pitches on the guitar. In order to obtain a consistent tension for all the strings when being strung ( i.e. put on the guitar so you can play it ) on a guitar, each string must be a different thickness ( gauge - which is measure in 1000th's of an inch ( an inch being 2.54 cm's approx for non imperial folk out there :-))
It?s so important to have an equal tension over the strings because of ease of playing, if all but on sting are tight, and one is like spaghetti, it's not going to help. Also there are then tuning problems to take into account which ...
