  1. All the previous comments speak for themselves and he was just that, everything you would want for in a True Friend and the rest.......... A very sad day and a great lose to the music Scene. My Condolences to his Family & Close friends at this time. Now At Peace. Ted, You truly Are a Legend to so many people.
  2. Lost For Words at this point trying to take it all in, so many Heroes (musically) and so many Friends (Socially) that we have amassed over the years on this wonderful Musical Ride of ours and here we are again having to come to the terms of another *Much loved One Lost* So, So Sad. * RIP Mary Ann Sexton * Condolences To All Your Family and Close Friends. *Thank You For The Music With Which You Inspired Us All*
  3. But Happy to say he is Continueing to Dj and will catch up with us all somewhere Along the Way. Have a great Retirement from that side of your life Sean and Thank you for all those nice Bits Of Vinyl Purchased over the years, Have Fun Now, You Earned It My Friend! Rick
  4. Hadn't Seen or Spoken to Snowy for a number of years now, but a very Sad Loss Indeed. A very nice Person to Know and a Credit to the Scene. He will be sadly missed by all those that came into contact with him. Condolences to his Family and Close Friends. RIP My Friend.
  5. 10 Days down the line and still can't get my head round this Sad Loss of Angie Stone (and all of the other loses this year has thrown at us) Such a Talent & A Sweet Sweet Lady. I Was Lucky to be DJ'ing in my Home Town of Scunthorpe Last Nite (Sat 8th) and Opened My set with "I Wish I Didn't Miss You" The Remix, asking the Crowd to join me in Paying Our very own Respect to the Lady in the only Way That As Soul Fans we could, With their Feet On The Dance Floor, they did not disappoint, followed by a round of applause (not for me) but for Angie
  6. Yea, but someone told me it was coming from your Microwave Oven
  7. Happy Holiday Everyone *Hope it's a Cracker* As always, Stay Safe, have Fun, and and be kind to one another
  8. Just for the Record (yes i will take that as a pun Ha Ha) It was far better than lot of Pop Drivel that was played on the Scene over the years and judging by that from comments on the thread so far, Dave Thorley Played it on the Dodgy Acetate,Chalky and myself were playing it off the LP and like me must have had many people up to the Turntables to see what was being played, Rob5airborne was Chasing it to find out it's identity and been Bugging him for over 30 years Rated it as a 'Absolutely Blinding Track' Blackpoolsoul has been trying to gleam some information on Allan Scott and seems there is just nothing out there about him, but thanks for all your efforts **So yes, for a 'Quality Pop Record' it certainly got the Juices Flowing Back Then & Now It Would Seem**
  9. Yep Benji that is true, Its what ever rocks our boats as it is with all forms of music, Thanks for all the input , been fun Rick
  10. Too True, great shame as it would have made a welcome official 7" release but hey! was not to be, but loads of other singers felt differently and did their version/take on it. But for me Allans is the best version for me.
  11. Spot on Chalky Came out in the USA & Canada. Allan Scott I Needed A Woman LP TOWER - ST- 5164 US 1969. Allan Scott I Needed A Woman LP Capitol - ST - 6338 CANADA. If you are checking out YOUTUBE Video Make Sure you spell his first name as Allan NOT Allen as that is another Artist. Checked on Discogs & a few copies up there for those that may well be wanting this now, Though Only Sellers in US & Canada at the Moment.
  12. Terrible News as one of my Favourite singers from The 60s and beyond. Condolences to All His Family And Friends, may you RIP Frankie, and Thank You for the Memories of your Wonderful Songs & Music.
  13. Wouldn't dream of it Roburt as i think that sounds like it is as close as we are going to get on an answer to my question, so thank you so much for that, most helpful Rick
  14. Thanks all you guys for your help and contributions. would still like to know why a studio would make metal tin plate discs that you can actually play rather than say, acetates etc, for what purpose? but i think only the people that made them would have the answer to that one
  15. Just Re Played all the discs mentioned and sound quality is good, all very early 60s soul, all but one are down beat and nothing great bar the Phil - Wood 093 (Pi Pi 859) Which is a not a too bad up- tempo Gospel type dancer with male vocal with "I DON'T KNOW" sang a lot with Female singers interjecting ,Some body help me - Sweet Jesus, and the Devil gets a mention or two The record starts with twanging lead guitar and male singer singing (Not counting in) ONE - TWO- THREE - FOUR over the guitar with a couple of seconds between each number sang before getting into the I Don't Know etc Routine, i'm trying to be helpful here as not techi minded enough to put a sound bite up but somebody into Gospel might recognise it as it best of the bunch, So still curious about why the discs are cut on this silver plate so that they can be played ? I did find one record on Discogs On Select O - Hit Label By The Right Combination (s-o -h 023) A) Everything i do B) How can your heart be free (when your love belongs to me Mastered at Master Craft Pressed by Plastic Products B side better side of the two but not great.
