    You two weren't drinking it so you very kindly gave me yours and every time the air hostess came round I got three mini bottles of red wine. I remember that better than the records I found. I must have been frightening company.

    Was that the trip where in a million to one chance I ended up sitting next to you and polishing off all your and your lass of the time's wine? Ady

    Harborough was running the year the Wheel closed so just after that. 71/72
  4. Ady Croasdell
    That's right. I bought them off Jeff on Leicester market, kept one and sold two at the Harborough nighter. My first Northern deal was with a bootleg; though nobody knew what they were at the time

    He was personable and knowledgeable. The only problems people had with him was that he was a lying crook. Not the first or last on this scene of ours.

    Not particularly Mike, we loved the music and were happy to get new recruits. Dave Godin would have been very happy that a lot of these tracks are reaching a bigger audience. There are thousands more for the already initiated to move on to.

    Well we've been telling people how good they were for years and now they can hear some in their cars or wherever and all join in. Mixed feelings, especially with the low price giving it away almost but there are some great tracks and not all bleeding obvious. I'd love to know who programmed Gloria Lynne in between Gene Chandler There Was A Time and Better Use Your Head-or anywhere on this CD for that matter. Listen there are literally thousands of great soul records to match these that haven't been over exposed so I don't think we need worry too much. Give it 5 years and they'll be old oldies, due for a revival!

    You Baby was Ronettes originally, Lovin' Spoonful too

    Where Are You Now is a classic of any description. R I P

    Thanks Chalky unfortunately James is dead but Louise is getting info for me
  12. Ady Croasdell
    Thanks chaps, he was certainly the right age but what did he do after writing the hit in 1966, he doesn't appear to do anything before 1978 on these bits of info. Also if he wrote Sweetest One why didn't Pied Piper use him some more?
  13. Ady Croasdell
    Wossit like then Den?
  14. Ady Croasdell
    He's a contender there was also a John Anderson who wrote early Joe Simon stuff out of the Bay Area and one wrote with H B Barnum in LA. Thanks
  15. Ady Croasdell
    He wrote it and also 'Unlucky Sun' on their LP but I don't know anything else about him. His BMI list brings up other songs that I recognise but I'm not sure if they are the same person. Anyone know about him?
  16. Ady Croasdell
    I'd defo played that out before the LP, I've got the acetate somewhere.
  17. Ady Croasdell
    Odd, I'd have thought if I comped it before Guy played it I'd have already played it
  18. Ady Croasdell
    Yep I did Kurt and Willie & The Handjives. I can't remember about In My Tenement by Rosie Greer, Guy would recall that one.
  19. Ady Croasdell
    Terrific programme, Stevie. Thanks for posting.
  20. Ady Croasdell
    Terrific article, George is a real soul hero.

    Hi Mark, this book looks great where are the details to buy it? Ady

    Completely, I had that Hopkins Brothers in my collection not knowing it was getting spun for a couple of years. My 6TS partner Randy championed Kiss My Love Goodbye - and several other Bettye Atlantics-throughout the 80s and 90s though I think it was probably a DJ up north who got it to be so popular eventually; all sorts of people are involved in a record's popularity.
  23. Ady Croasdell
    I don't remember it being played in 1974 at Northern clubs, I thought it first got spun seriously in the early noughties?
  24. Ady Croasdell
    I was being flippant on Lenny of course, but I agree Tony Rounce, Dave Burton, Nick Washer and many others down here got sounds to the DJs. Ian Levine in particular knew all the collector/dealers and offered top prices when they got back from the States or found stuff in the Smoke.
  25. Ady Croasdell
    Good point Kecksy and I still don't think me and Mick get the credit for Lenny Gamble.
