You tell 'em girl, and a damned fine job you did too.

The girls are recording 5 of their best this afto in downtown Maida Vale for broadcast at midnight on Friday night (technically Sat morning!)on Mark Lamarr's show. This is a prelude to their big Crossfire appearance at midnight Sunday night (technically Mon morning!) but due to unavailability there's no brass on the new recordings, though there will be at Crossfire. The group is also headlining at Euro YE Ye in Gijon in early August.

And Sherlie ain't Shirley Matthews on Atlantic, I think she was a Canadian.

I wanna see a scan too please!

Ignore this please, sorted now. Ady

I've got an unissued acetate on him that turned up in Vienna! I'll dig it out it's called Stop Sign a nice crossover sound. He also did the Prophets 'I Got The Fever' and was the Georgia Prophets too.

HB's story about meeting him was something like he saw him getting mugged in a park and chased the muggers away. HB was a handy boxer and all round good egg.

Yes. How's the tinman?

All in a big circle moonhopping and clapping hands. It wasn't the music of choice but it fitted the bill when you couldn't get reggae or soul. Wearing DMs meant you pretty much had to moonhop.

There's 30 secs of it on here https://www.acerecords.co.uk/content.php?pa...mp;release=7860

"NINETEEN SIXTY SIX: THE DAVID AXELROD & HB BARNUM SESSIONS" CDKEND 305 an LP he did for Capitol with those great producers while he was out of the nick on license, he died soon after. The King CD is earlier more R&B stuff, a lot of the Capitols are soul.

Spot on and when they ask for a copy tell 'em to get the CD, there are other great tracks on there too.

Billy Joel Tell Her About It. I was knocked out by it when it came out and even played it at my 60s night at the Camden Palace.

Was that disco/house thing by Papa John Creach I'm The Fiddle Man or summat, I gave it big licks to that and Kid Creole the one about his address book. As skinheads everyone moonhopped to Free All Right Now and Norman Greenbaum Spirit In The Sky.

Still working on it Lenny, my first act just got ill and I'm trying to find out how ill. But rest assured we'll have a great show for y'all.

Ted had an opening night cheese and wine piss up for Rock On, I got a looking for you demo for £2 and a few weeks later a Darrell Banks on London for the same price. One hung over morning at Cheapo fellow barrow boy Dave, who knocked out dresses told me there was a brass plating (I know what he meant but don't know the rhyming slang; plates was for feet and it wasn't anything to do with that part of the body) market lads for free. Being a shy Harboro lad and not feeling at my most romantic at 11 am on a Wednesday morning, I declined.

If it's a carver you're doing for yourself to DJ with go ahead. It'll be just as authentic as the others as the track is now released and available and will help promote the CD we are selling so the labels will be chuffed too. It's a bit good innit!

Hi Mike, If you've got a box of Oldies you'd do well at the Crossfire do on the 12th. If you've got any odd Money, Romark, Renfro Dore etc I'd like to have a gander. Ady

That was an erotic dream you had the other night.

Lot's of that Summitt record I'm Leaving too.

I think he means the record's dead not Paul!

Hi Andy, is he the one who ended up with the second copy of Gerri Granger? Why Can't It Be Tonight and a disgruntled missus smashed them all?

Thanks again Bob and Soulman, I'll be ringing that Stamford lad up then.

Simon Soussain boot I think, though it's conceivable the Biharis pressed it up for him legally, I doubt if we'll ever know!

Thanks everybody, it was the Wax Poetics I got told about I'll give your broadcast a listen Bob. That may not be right Jaco but if I can get hold of the Mizells they will be able to tell me who else was involved. Do you know who has the acetate now Soulman 1964? You possibly? Cheers Ady
