Release "Can You Feel It" was initially released as an instrumental on Mr. Fingers' 1986 EP, ''Washing Machine''.

Trainspotters In The United Kingdom
A trainspotter, also known as a locospotter or gricer, is a member of a British subculture that was popularised in the 1940s. Based on the spotting of locomotives and recording of their numbers, the subculture gained a notorious reputation in British popular culture during the twentieth century. History Origins The earliest evidence of the existence of trainspotting has been dated to the 1840s. Between 1841 and 1847 the Victorian Colonel James Pennyman noted details about trains running on the Great North of England Railway, although the first person believed to have noted solely locomotive names and numbers was Fanny Johnson in 1861. Before the outbreak of World War II the practice of noting locomotive numbers as a leisure activity was considered popular among both children and adults; the author Eric Lomax recalled the presence of trainspotters on Britain's railways being a common sight in the inter-war period. Roger Kidner is reputed to have authored the first guide for trai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
