Billy Webster - Good People - Silvertone

Jeez, can't believe that was 2010! Was an interesting lecture, we were a tough crowd lol I have the PowerPoint presentation for Lucy's lecture somewhere and her synopsis. Apart from Ady of course, she was the only one that got it.

I was just thinking about Pete yesterday. This is so sad, rest in peace lovey xxx

Jeez, had this 25 years ago or more, can't for the life of me remember who I sold it to. Of its time (Stafford) and can't say I miss it and definitely wouldn't buy it now which is the real tester for me, no regrets Edit: just remembered, I first heard on a tape from Duncan Morris (sure that was his last name). He was from London

This is the saddest news. He was such a lovely, humble man who couldn't have been nicer to me everytime I saw him x

Maurice Williams - Being Without You - Deesu

One of the finest soul records ever recorded and my favourite live performance ever. When he sings "and they'll tell you"... goosebumps at the ready...

Camaro's first for this girl with the Continental boys second, love them both x

So sad x

So sad x

I remember him at Stafford; well, Stafford train station in the morning a couple of times. What I will say though is he cut and pasted my comments about Pete Lawson etc from here without the courtesy of asking. More than a bit cheeky at best, lazy and unprofessional journalism at worst. Bought the book after being made aware of the above, haven't read it though lol

What Steve said, he's absolutely gorgeous Peter x

Stunning!

That's awesome Steve!!! Colours are amazing x

That's the thing right there. If I didn't hear JH ever again I would be a happy gal. The Artistics however, different kettle of fish. Always been in JH's shadow so never got the recognition it rightly deserved. I also think the cheaper vs more expensive stigma plays a part, as it does so often. Take One Thousand Wonders by TSU Tornadoes / Archie Bell for example - AB is a thousand times better and cheaper. Rarity and value never trumps quality for me. But that's for a future battle to decide ... Like Mal and others have said, these are great threads and what it's all about. Preferences shared and not a hissy fit in sight. Old school soulsource. Great stuff!

Despite hearing JH first, it's Artistics all day long for me. The awesome vocal, arrangement, depth and all-round soulfulness puts it leagues ahead. One of the best groups ever to hit a recording studio

This is so sad, I can't believe it x

Merry Christmas Mick

Majjestees - Take Back All Those Things - Mutt

I'm sure you're not alone Chris but that's part of its charm for me, blooming love it!

Tyrone Ashley - I Want My Baby Back - Phil la of Soul

Mick was one of the first people I met when I started going to nighters, good friends ever since. I will miss his kindness, his infectious sense of fun and can't believe I won't see his unique dancing again. Life won't be the same without him x

Ricky Allen - Cut You Loose - Tamboo Celebrities - I Choose You - Boss
