Great hint (if you are the blog)...

More of an anti-hint, considering the multiple armchair theories it was spun up in my mind.

First clip does sound Twist-y, I believe I hear a China boy cymbal splash from Fish in the second clip that would date it cleanly pre-92, third clip, no clue.

Either way, when I get home tonight, I'm definitely going to dig out my vinyl copy of 'Soul Message', by Richard Groove Holmes, and give it a good spin.

Best of luck contestants; curious to see how this one goes!
