Lambrettacraig Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Went to the 6Ts Anniversay night at the 100 club last weekend and heard Joel Maslin play something that caught my ear! It was a bit busy to jump up behind the decks and take a quick look, but he’s played it quite a bit recently and I managed to find it on a M-XCLOUD set he did, back on 6th May 2020. (The Soul Exchange Set 007). It kicks off around 10:38 and comes in with the Horn Section. Very R&B ish… Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated…TIA Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Despenza" wrote the song (could that be Paulette Despenza?), and a W. S. Despenza, produced it, rather than Barry. But Despan Music was Barry's own in-house publishing company. I'll have to admit that I never met Barry, or knew anyone who knew him well. So I don't know anything about his family. Can anyone here fill me in?

I did read she is a sister in law or something like that, I only read it a day or two ago but can’t find where now 12 hours ago, Chris Turnbull said: Knew post Stafford but didn't know '87. Played it to death There is a recording of Notts Palais on the tube with Sam playing it, 1978 if memory serves. It could have only been a brief spin as it remained relatively unknown. Still a pretty rare record and probably suffered because of that. Edited September 29, 2022 by Chalky 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
