There is a possible release upcoming of Ollie's stuff. It's not 100% confirmed but if it happens hopefuly it will do him justice.

I'm almost there with the research side of things on Ollie's story. It's been a long and at times frustrating trail but it'll be wort it in the end I reckon.

Regards,

Dave

PS. Dave F ..... one of my Top 10 'lunches' of all time. Up there with 'The Wiz' et al. Happy Days! We need another trip Mate!

Just seen with glee the feature on Ollie Mc . Only famous person that i've ever met. What a gentleman too.

Bought my mate and I (Steve Ray ) a few tins whilst looking through Bob Mays shop.

Three Baritracks, four Jock Mitchells,two Dena Barnes later, Ollie went out to buy

some more cans ! Having got " fed up" of pulling Golden World stuff and Motown

demos out, (you shoudn't get tired of that, I know, but I was only 19 )

Ollie took us to a bar,having seen what we were buying, said

"I'll take you to a bar where the Motwon Cats hang out,

He did, and we missed Marvin by 5 mins.!

Shit happens .

Just got home from work, pictures and signed recs to follow tomorrow.

Apart from my son and daughter being born, there is yet to be a day

to superseed that 19th July 1978
