Thanks for all that folks; Soul Source at it's most sleuthfull. In the end my old Harboro mate Andy Pollard has it nestling in his box, so it doesn't have to travel too far.
Were you inbetween glasses Ben? That was Paolo Hewitt with Noel or Liam (I can't remember which one) I don't remember Paul actually going though I did and do flog him records. He's probably been to Keb's do more than any.
I don't think anyone's having a bash at Ian here, ImberBoy was just having his say and most of the other posts have been in favour of the film, with some reservations. I too helped the film and am glad I did, but I can understand the criticism too.
It's not perfect by any means but there are a lot of great moments in there. Rose Batiste and the Gems spring to mind. I brought Carl Carlton over to the UK on the strength of seeing him in that vid.
Everyone should have a personal edit copy of it to get one very good DVD from it but everyone's would be different.
I only struggled with it on video, I should get a DVD which I believe are easier to fast forward, did someone say it's coming out in a better edit?
Dave was a massive fan of theirs and showed a lot of people, myself included, that Bob & Earl were much more than purveyors of stunning dancers, they were true artists at any form of soul music. He got to speak with both of them and passed on his and our admiration for them directly.
Surely it was Ian Dewhirst who's on here who bought CA and I think it was £180 which was crazy because it about doubled the top price previously and seemed a bit excessive
Dave Burton was going to sell Time's A Wasting to Minsh for about £100 around 1973 at the Torch but someone found out Dave had done a couple of acetates and the price dropped to something like £60
That's the feller
I've now ssen the original thread and I would have thought the opening post on this one would have been better placed on that one. Perhaps a merge is on the cards.
That's very interesting, I've never heard of much German resistance and couldn't believe a whole nation would be going along with such disgusting behaviour in their name. it's heartening to know this happened and I wonder how other German resistance to Naziism manifested itself; the communists etc were presumably purged.
s to the thread was it in response to something specific or some sort of controversial ploy to promote the re-hash of that book? I've not seen the original but thought it was a good way of making a few bob, I wish I'd thought of it. Those quotes from punters were incredible though; 500 different ways of saying nothing.
