Anthony White - Reset To Zero - On Radio 2 Now
I'm not sure if they really approve of it on EMS (obviously different points of view), I thought it'd be right up their street but one poster even said "sounds like something off an Ian Levine album". I'm not sure he was being complementary.

The Hesitations
Nice one Ian, i've been looking for them for a while, I'll get them some royalties at the very least and an interview or two. thanks Ady

Hmv Point Of Sales
They actually have a whole Ace section in the Oxford St branch. There are a lot of genuine music fans work there and they've always been very supportive of Ace/Kent etc

Utter, laughable bollocks. I have never been on a committee in my life and there was never one of any description over this. I knew I'd have to wade through all this self-congratulatory stuff (though I have enjoyed some bits and learned a bit more about "This Thing Of Ours") until you came to this bee in your bonnet.

Anthony White - Reset To Zero - On Radio 2 Now
It reminds me of Redbone's 'come and Get Your Love' they were the ones who wrote and produced danny Monday. He's a Landaner apparently.

Unissued Material On Chess / Major Labels
Most of Atlantics were burnt in a fire. There are odd Chess tracks here and there like Kent's alternative version of Terry Callier 'Look At Me Now' but no specific reissue programme that I know of.

True Nighters-does This Sum It All Up?
I'm sure being a tight Yorkshireman must help too! That's what I get told anyway.

Post Stafford Classics
Ted Taylor was Roger Stewart at the 100 Club via Pete Wid, i think they were responsible for Esther Phillips Just Say goodbye. Have we had the Antellects, Annabel Fox Johnny Maestro Kurt Harris Platters Not My Girl Sensations Demanding Man Hytones both Good News and Runaway Girl?

The Beatles
8 Days a Week is brilliant. Funkier fans go for Taxman.

100 Club first of course!

Whoops, that's slightly bolloxed my sleevenotes. At least they were half right. i thought 40 nights was the side to be spun early. was yours just at local dos or big uns?

It's a 100 Club tune, you'd better give it me back!

The Beatles
He did and was quite a celebrity on the Beatles collectors circuit. He wrote a book on it. No other Northern suggestions? Got To Get You Into My Life is the most obvious one, Day Tripper heads that way a bit, Otis liked it. george harrison was a big soul fan and thanked Dave godin backstage at RSG for all his hard work for the cause.

The Beatles
Never mind that, whaddabout best Beatles dancers. I'll open with Good Morning, Good Morning from Sgt Peppers, even the animal noises can't ruin it.

Post Stafford Classics
Yes master tape from Eddie, thanks to my dear friend and fellow Soul Saucer, Ian Levine introducing us. Did I give Butch an acetate then. Andy Rix tracked down the Prophets and I think eventually got one out of them. wasn't that the one that arrived in 8 pieces as he'd just put it in an envelope? Another playable one turned up later. Presumably Antellects and Primers have been mentioned. What about Herman Lewis or that one on Lime. I don't think records like Garland's Ain't That good Enough or Girl I Love You got played until the 80s. john Edwards versions of Ain't That and How Can I Go On Without You certainly didn't. Howabout Jimmy Andrews Big City Playboy, shed loads of RCAs and Scepter/Wand and 1,00 big beat ballads. not to mention the Latin slot!

Flirtations "little Darling" On Polydor
I wouldn't I'd say more like £11.

Ian Levine, Motorcity, Centre City, Blackpool Mecca, And Swons
Yes to the clapped out scooter, i had it for about three months. No to the parka, gimme a break. Don't forget Nick Washer who turned up loads, some of which went through Mike Ritson and a little bit later came Clarkie who was major.

Actually I really like it and it could have quite easily been played at our early 6TS nights, i wonder if Tony concurs?

And associating it with me when I've never heard it.

As I said Soul Of The North was an article heading not a description of a type of music, that came later as Northern Soul which he had been using for some time. Sorry to be pedantic.

As Andy or someone else said, its random and for you to sneer at my listening to it when I've never even heard it, then I like to point that out. I will now listen to it and give you my view, but please don't think that every record I listen to is the epitome of my Northern Soul taste.

I'm pleased you know more about my own life than I do. I could have sworn I worked there 1973-74 when I went on my US trip and lost my job when i came back. Now you've corrected me on my life, I must be 54 instead of 56, and it must be the 6TS 27th anniversary this year. At least I'll be able to have another Kent's 25th celebration next year now!
