The Manc punk bands like the Buzzcocks, Slaughter and The Dogs and the Drones were much more fun than the Pistols. Them and the Damned, Clash and Jam had regular fans not just fashionistas.
-
Didn't Twisted Wheel regular and Northern Soul fan / DJ Phil Saxe manage them or one of that lot? He was at the 100 Club Xmas do and the CIS on Saturday still misbehaving! Bloody good chap.

Anyone remember Bletsoe ? link

I never went to the Wheel but went to our equivalent around Northants and Bedfordshire and they were very exciting and ad hoc. It was very new and no one else was doing anything remotely similar, these were the only all nighters and there would usually be one or two a weekend in the whole country. The Torch was great, big enough to be impressive, incredibly buzzy and the very first and big Northern discoveries when there was a full range of sounds to pick from. It was definitely better than Wigan for me.

Jackie Day didn't make it, it was the second Yarmouth.

He was a lovely unassuming man who loved to laugh. When he was on at the 100 Club I had one of the original Drifters, who lived in London, ringing me up and begging to reserve him a table! Ray was his ultimate musical hero and he couldn't believe he was going to be singing a set down Oxford Street with a full band. The sound guy had problems because his voice was so soft but exquisite. It was subtle and emotional rather than full of histrionics like many today.

I DJed in NYC with Steve, the geezer who organised the first album for the record company and chose all the songs. He's a long time soul fan and apparently discovered Hanson or Manson or Alan Hansen. He knows his stuff so I could pass on your suggestions to him. What about a swift change of direction for her and we could get her to sing '(My Room Is Only) Six By Six'!

Anyone heard of this, I've never seen it listed. It's the Joey Jefferson outfit, late 60s Ton Of Dynamite uptempo raw funk type of deal.
-
Anyone know the group members or anything about them. Are the groups on Keymen, Dore, Maverick and Imperial the same. Were Bob Relf & Earl Nelson in the group (they wrote and produced the Keymen single). Were there any other Keymen/Mirwood releases on DJM apart from the instrumental of this?
-
There were only Jackie Lee and Olympics solo soul LPs on Mirwood. The Bob & Earls were two different ones on US Crestview the first of which contains My Little Girl and came out on B&C and Jay Boy. The second came out on Joy over here. I've found John Poole's details thanks.
-
That sounds like a good lead. Can anyone help out with John Poole's contacts?
-
I have spoke to Max and he recalls playing the vocal cica 71 of a single and remembers Bob Crocker and Alan S playing it a year or so before him Regards Chris W Thanks for that but it wasn't what I was after. I need to know in what format the instrumental was first played; US LP or Jay Boy single? Cheers Ady

Many old clubs n the 60s ended on Alan Haven's version of Hank Levine's (the one we played at early 6TS dances) 'Image' a slow film music type instrumental. But it was more of a mine sweeper or "last chance with the fanny" than a dancer.
-
Was it first played from the Crestview LP, Jay Boy single or did Simon concoct a backing track acetate?
-
Someone paid well more than £500 a few months back!
-
As far as I know it was an unreleased tape I put out on the "Spring Story" CD CDSEWD 103 you could get a dub done off that it's still available.

The one that makes me cringe is the spoken intro to Frankie & the Clasicals link

Rummaging through my tax receipts for Bexter!

Speaking of nurses uniforms, I've just been looking at Randy's cartoon starring Roger with Keb, Pete and Clarkie as Roger Rough & The Cream Puffs. Unfortunately it's not going into Vol 1 of the 6TS CDs so he'll have to pull through for Vol 2 which includes his DJing stint down the 100 Club. Get well mate. Ady

Kent 6t's 100 Club Anniversary Singles
Ady Croasdell replied to Supercorsa's topic in Look At Your Box
No demos but a few while label test pressings on about 6 or 7 of them. -
I don't know percentages, it varies from contract to contract, I know some of the original artists we have contracted get anywhere from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.

Kent 6t's 100 Club Anniversary Singles
Ady Croasdell replied to Supercorsa's topic in Look At Your Box
I'm glad Debra's getting some action, I thought it was as classy a record as say Ann Sexton. I also think the Johnnie Taylor/Judy Clay double sider deserves more attention. Garland Green is on Modern Masterpieces, I have very few spares though. It makes sense them fetching money, they are genuine short runs and usually the only time they get on vinyl. Kent tracks like the two OC Tolberts should also pick up in rarety.
