Willie Hutch?

[Soulian]

I have had this for years and never noticed the signature on the flip.

Can anyone confirm if this might be a genuine Willie Hutch signature?

[Smudger]

It looks very similar to the signiture on the front of In and out album considering it is done on the label of a record

He signed this sleeve for me whilst we sat talking at Blackpool the day before your record was signed.

That's well cool Ian.. well done mate !!

[Soulian]

It is isn't it. Great to know it's genuine too, thanks to Adey's picture

Nothing like a bit of provenance.. Guessing it was signed the same weekend, at Blackpool then ??

[Soulian]

I would guess so, but I didn't go.  I bought the record at least 12 years ago, been stuck in  one of my boxes unplayed for last 10. Was sorting out and spotted the signature. Can't for the life of me remember where I bought it from lol

[Ficklefingers]

Either way Ian.. Thanks to Adey you know for certain it's a pucker signature - which I think is brilliant !! Made up for you mate.. it's nice to see when someone gets a bit of good luck

When I went to talk to Willie Hutch he wasn't really interested in talking to me at first. But when I then got my copy of the Phonetics "Just a boys dream" out of an envelope he said "What you got there boy?". I handed it to him, he was sat next to another guy that had come over with him. He was genuinely shocked & turned to his friend & said "Look!". Willie said it was the first copy he'd seen since way back when it was released. His face completely changed, it really lit up. Then he started talking. It was so nice to have met the man, a lovely memory.

Lovely memories indeed Adey
