  1. or maybe this is Jay D Martin on helium same writers producer etc. etc. Thomas-Mcree-Thomas wrote 100's of songs recorded by all sorts of artists.
  2. Giz a clue mate !
  3. Which, if it's either of these two groups, were the ones that recorded on Atco/Atlantic (UK).
  4. Plus Celeste Hardie, Christine Cooper and Major Lance all going for a damn sight less......... all better records and all rarer weird IMHO.
  5. Do you mean Pete Tildesley from Stockport, a complete character.
  6. I do hope Kev is getting commission on these sales.
  7. AS can be seen from the links I posted above the most likely owner of canterbury records was Ken Handler.
  8. Nothing definate here but there are links to Canterbury records etc. maybe some of the names will ring a bell somewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Balloon https://bobbyjameson.blogspot.co.uk/2008/03/part-31-mattel-toys-ken-handler-and-my.html
  9. There is also the Tempos Countdown with a Bobby Sanders credit, but looking at the rest that's about it.
  10. They already look like Derek has looked through them !!!!!!!!.
  11. That must have smarted a bit mate.
  12. I had one of my bits and bobs autographed in half inch letters, sometimes it says H Melvn and sometimes it says Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes featuring Teddy Pendergrass and Sharon Paige
  13. "Something for the weekend sir ?" , Yeah I'll have 20 Red & Browns and a couple of Mandys for Monday.
  14. I'm pretty sure you have records that suit for all the dances you have named above, and I'm pretty sure you can get your hands on a decent video camera. So come on mate I reckon it's time for Robbk The Dancemaster video series, it would probably go viral.
  15. Would you say the dances originated on the dance floors or were they created by artists etc. and copied on the dance floors ?, I prefer to think it was the former.
  16. Rather than the artists/records creating dance crazes, I would have thought it would have been the other way around. Surely people would adopt styles of dancing which would then be "named", records would then be made to cash in on the popularity of said dance craze. In short, dance crazes originated on the dance floor not in recording studios.
  17. But it was on Okeh, no wonder so few copies have been found, everybody has been looking under the wrong label.
  18. I never bought one patch/badge, it was an unacceptable commercialisation of the scene that I didn't want to know, plus they were a red rag to a bull for the squad.
  19. Given that it was a total cash business I wouldn't trust much of what was in them if they do exist. I've never known a club owner who kept accurate attendee numbers for a start.
  20. I did wonder why me and Swish kept going to a Country and Western do on a Sunday night in Barnsley !!!!!!!!!!!,
  21. Yes '73, not sure if the O'Jays did appear, but then again even if i'd been there I'm not sure I would have remembered much, things just seemed to just zip by in an instant in those days. I could have been jabbering away in a corner and completely missed them !.
  22. They were all pressings unfortunately.
  23. Just a thought, not once is the term "Northern Soul" used in any of the flyers etc, we used to refer to it as "The 'Nighter Scene" in those days.
