Well it was Monday after all Dave

Just remembered one of the harder releases: The Tornadoes Little Sally Walker Sureshot 5032 another version of the nursery rhyme song by Rufus Thomas and another bloke on Federal who's name I've forgot. Dave

Always rated the B-side of Gee Baby, "What's This Coming" Dave

Hi Guys A good friend of mine Carl Jones who resides in the leafy suburbs of Wolverhampton owns a red stock copy of Larry Clinton. He bought it off Gary Smelt when he sold that clutch of heavy northern things off circa 15 years back. Carl does'nt get out and about too much these days due to work and family commitments. Yet another sleeper who has a mighty fine collection. Dave Welding P.S. Carl paid £600.00 for it after telling me he made me vow never to tell anyone what he paid. But I'm sure with the current valuation he won't mind.

Good to see The Mist get the recognition it deserves at last. Played it at Keele about 5 years back, at the start the dance floor was full, by the time it had finished there was one bloke left on the dance floor and he was trying to sell imitation red roses Dave.w

Check the local pawn shop, or in your case should that be the porn shop Dave.W

Hi Dave When you find one check out the great B-side, "The Girl In The Window" Dave Welding

Sorry to correct you Steve but Rufus is Herbert's younger brother. I used to speak to him often before his wife kicked him out ! Come to think of it he still owes me some money but that's another story. Dave .W

I've got a story about the above news paper article, a couple of years back I was working an unissued cd track by Bruce Jackson, which was produced by Herman Weems. Herman was having trouble getting anyairplay on it in Detroit because no one remembered him. Now Herman ain't got a record to his name, so I sent him a couple of Fantastic Fours on Ric Tic that he wrote and a shagged water stained copy of Dee Edwards on GM. Now when that news paper article appeared on soulsource guess what ? the copy of Dee Edwards on GM was the copy I sent to Herman for a $1000. At 3am on that night I get a phone call of a very excited Floyd Jones saying he's got a couple of copies and can I sell them for a $1000 each and he'll cut me in. I tried to no avail to convice him that the record was only worth $25 tops. I rang Herman the next day to see what's going on, the sly old fox told me as long as the reporter from the Michigan Chronicle kept buying him rum and coke's he kept telling him what he thought he wanted to hear! Spoke to Floyd the other day and he still thinks it's $1000 record. Mind you I got my own back on him, the yanks don't go onto summertime till a week after us, so I got the poor bugger out of bed early. Dave. W

Hey up Rob I remember my first conversation with Dee turned to Louise and said "I Think I've just been hit on by Dee Edwards" low and behold she gave you the same treatment. A few gin's inside her at Prestatyn would have made Philip Mitchell seem like a picnic. You Know what I mean Actually spoke with Floyd about the advert he's very pleased, he always thought the song deserved a wider audience and should have been picked up by a major label at the time. Dave.w

I'm afraid Dee Edwards won't get anything as she died a couple of years back . Her ex husband Floyd Jones the producer on the song might get something though, I'll ask him and let you know. Dave .Welding

Sorry mate There was a label scan of it which appeared in a photo copy fanzine once, but it was just a Pete Wid wind up! this can be filed in the same category as the mythical Gerri Hall on Sue. Why, when people talk about rare English is it always the same handful of titles, Darrell Banks on London etc when some of the rarer titles are probably by Uk Beat groups etc which don't sell for big money. Talkin' about UK productions heard Georgie Fame's cover version of The Spinners "Sweet Thing" of his first LP on the radio the other day, I'd forgot how great this UK production sounded. Dave

Don't know if there is a story Rob, just a cover of Billy Butler under a different title and writers credits. I think I'll save a few thousand bucks and stick with the Pate,Davis,Mayfield and Butler version
