There's a much better original version from Gary Paxton's tape vaults on "Boy Trouble" by the Fashionettes Ace CD CDCHD 1005. They're a black girl group and it's a finished version. Cheers Ady

I only co-ran the Harboro all nighters with Tony Clayton when Ally dropped out to be a businessman, I never liked that school hall type venue. I also did one at Loughborough Town Hall with Tony and a couple at Peterboro. The Frollickin' Kneecap was the original 60s club in Harboro where I saw the likes of Brenton Wood, Zoot Money, The Family, Blossom Toes and the Ferris Wheel. It transformed into The Lantern for all nighters in 1970 or whatever year the Wheel closed because all the blocked up Mancs came down the night it was busted. The photo of me and a gang of skins on the cover of Right Back Where we started From Kent LP was taken inside at one of the Lantern all nighters. Ady

Great, I've been dyeing/dieing to get this one in. Hattie Winston's the receptionist in Becker, a not too terrible US sitcom with the main bloke from Cheers in it. Ady

OK so my memories pants, I probably heard it somewhere else (Randy most likely) and started playing it. But it sounds great to me and begs the Bonzo Dog question, can Blue men sing the whites? A-D

And probably the only 70s record I ever broke down t'100 Club in the 80s. Ady

One of us is mad then cause I've never seen it. And the doctor took me off those tablets a long time ago. I Think you lent me summat else.Gareth's lending me his thanks, I'll collar you for the other one later. Ady

And has anyone got a copy on any label that they could lend me. Their palms will be crossed with silver (discs). Ady

Nice speculating kids but it was 'The Temptation Walk' by the Pretenders who were actually the Larks. It's on the "Soul Of Money" Kent CD so you've probably got it Nick, in much better quality than what you heard on Sat. Manship has it for a grand in his book which seems a bit steep. Was the girl thing 'You Lied' by Marva Josie on Time. Carl Willingham plays it and the flip 'Later For You Baby'. Actually the ping pong ball wasn't in my mouth. Ady

Bill and Will 'Goin' To The River' Checker wanted Ady C

That E-mail didn't work, ask the dude to save it for me and I'll cough up next week. Ta Ady

The Atlantic singles were Crossover productions, 'Improve' is awful! Ady

"Seen the fixtures yet? An interesting first Wednesday night of the season!!" (anyone know how you do that grey box thing for quotes?) Our 11 mercenary strangers will stuff your eleven pimply YTS trainees. Thanks to all for the suggestions, Let me know what you're charging Christian when it arrives. Up the city Ady

Sorry, I ain't got sound Ady

And I need to buy Sheila Ferguson 'Heartbroken Memories'. She's in a West End play at the moment! Ady

That's it's 30th anniversary then. I'll double the price and give you £6 for it. Don't tell me anything else I sold you, I'll only get depressed. I can remember the UK Queen Of Fools issue as if it was yesterday. Ady

Ian Levine once told me it had the best Northern Soul track ever on it. I like it but not that much, it's good pop Northern. Ady

Yeah but who wants to flog me the bleeding records. Come back Mick. Ady

He's a corker and it's a fascinating story. I actually sent him there to pick up some dosh I gave to a mate at Prestatyn, who was going to LA, for a single I bought off him (and to see if there were any old royalties lying around). Ady

"No offence meant, but I've never understood the attitude that implies "our music" is sacred, and that cover versions are the devil's work. " I like covers if they're any good, eg The Alan Bown Set 'It's Growing', but they should only be done if they add a new angle or put something different or better in there. Paul just hasn't got a jazz voice, it's as feeble as Madonna's 'American Pie' (or any cover by Blondie). Ady

It could have been Bobby Wells 'the Psychedelic Theme', that was the instrumental to his great 'Let's Cop A Groove' that was from the same stable. It's dead good actually, I've been meaning to play it for 15 years. Ady

Roccia has put up a bunch on his soul club's site. Some very good ones and only one of me in a dodgy shirt, sporting a quiff I never realised I had. https://www.leaningtowersoulclub.com/Cleethorpes.html Ady PS Thanks to all the doods who went to Cleethorpes, I enjoyed it for once. It was stress free(ish) warm, laid back and groovy (though I'll be putting a rider in the artists' contract not to run large breast contests during the show). We might even do another one.

Yeah but I was trying to make the point that he can't sing for toofee (Molesworth) and he should give up on the soul and do a bit of angry middle aged Brit stuff. I'm not bitter that he doesn't ask me to DJ any more. Ady PS Has any Weller fan heard The Bottle and are they prepared to defend it's existence?

Darrow Fletcher Infatuation Jeanette Williams All Of A Sudden Jeanette Williams Something Good's Got A Hold Of Me I actually want to buy these for my own pathetic collection and not loan them for a project like I normally do. Also I'm trying to beat Janine, J-O-T and other serial posters by putting up the longest string of rubbish postings. Yes I've finished my Renfro sleevenotes and have the unbridled carefree disposition of a grebe. Creeps

Then again Frankie and Johnny was free but as it was unknown wasn't technically worth anything. And I couldn't embarass a fellow Soul Talker off list when he's not here to defend himself. He's in the Mexican desert sipping an ice cold cerveza and getting his lovely wife to rub more Este Lauder in. Ady

Technically (because it was free) my best was the UK Atlantic Vala Regan 'Fireman' CDKEND 169 which was pinned to a ceiling in a second hand record shop in Portobello Road. I asked the geezer behind the counter if I could buy it and he said it was mine if I could get it down. Luckily I had a spare Tony Rounce with me (in his lighter period) and hoisted him up on my shoulders from where he removed the said object. Harboro' Horace
