    And can we throw "and then some" in at this stage of the proceedings and wrap it all up?

    He knew it was a well-known black US phrase and adopted it for his own column.

    Excellent work that man. Looks like it and the first I heard of it. I’ll ask David Nathan
  4. Ady Croasdell
    Great timing, should be very fruitful and tell him there’s a crowd of Anoraks awaiting his every word
  5. Ady Croasdell
    However they do a very different version of Chuck Berry’s ‘Come On’ I hardly recognised it when I eventually heard Chuck’s original

    Funnily enough Dave was worried the Deep Soul Treasures would be a big flop and we’d lose on it; so much so that he refused to have a compilers fee for it. The series is just about our most successful commercially and artistically

    I apologise in advance against that catastrophe. He liked a lot of uptempo sides, many of which were played on the Northern scene, and not just 60s classics - The Crow for Christ's sake - ahead of his time on that one.

    And it would have been quite hard to buy I'm A King Bee unless you were a committed record buyer, plus people tend to like the first version of a song they hear first so Stones fans would actually prefer their version; Jagger knew Harpo's was better but their fans didn't and weren't into it enough to search out the original. People consume music at different levels and for different reasons.

    Dave championed classics as well, he just didn't need to know it had charted to give his opinion. His Deep Soul Treasures are dotted with classics and he loved 'Band Of Gold' as much as Sandi Sheldon.
  10. Ady Croasdell
    He adored the concept of working class teenagers adopting great uptempo soul tracks and dancing all night to them
  11. Ady Croasdell
    He liked soul, there’s no musical style called Northern Soul. It would depend what the record was
  12. Ady Croasdell
    No but there was one from Bessie Banks
  13. Ady Croasdell
    Yes and not the Rita & The Tiaras version! The funeral was mainly organised by his communist landlord who was an eccentric in a different way. The service was good and Dave would have had a big part in it, knowing he was dieing, but the aftermath was a mess.

    Acetate, same bunch as Ben E King. Nancy may have had a tape of that
  15. Ady Croasdell
    Just compared Tone and it's the backing vocals that are different and it's about 12 seconds longer. The tape we used on the Kent LP-Footstompers or Floorshakers was a good one of the 45 version
  16. Ady Croasdell
    Yes it was Dave Williams Stuart, i missed that in the book, need to get reading!
  17. Ady Croasdell
    He certainly knew Jagger from the blues clubs around that area. An old blues collector remebers them all going to gigs together on the tube with Dave knitting!
  18. Ady Croasdell
    Sorted already. Thanks for looking. Ady
  19. Ady Croasdell
    Anyone got an Ex copy I could borrow in return for CDs or vinyl please?
  20. Ady Croasdell
    Sorted; many thanks Robb and the Japanese based Anorak too!
  21. Ady Croasdell
    Must be your own copy, not a nick from the net please; and US original only please
  22. Ady Croasdell
    Hi res label scan need please. Credit and Kent stuff in return. Cheers Ady
  23. Ady Croasdell
    What I want to know is does a Dimples Harris demo exist? Kent Harris' sister in action.
  24. Ady Croasdell
    Lemme know when it surfaces please Michael, I'd love to hear it
  25. Ady Croasdell
    Anyone got a sound file? Or link to one?
