    Booted by the scene. I found the first bunch that I found in NYC and sold them at nighters (as rare boots) when it was first played here

    It was actually a very middle class, well-healed scene when I knew it. Check out some of their cars; money was no object if they wanted a record badly. I was involved with the scene from 73-late 70s. They used to come to Cheapo Cheapo record stall in London buying early Okeh and particularly that Leon Haywood Soul Cargo LP. I mainly dealt with a DJ called Nico whose name was Vereycken Frans I think. When I went to the States I picked up a lot of records for him from the Latest wants list and sent them to him in bulk. Once he just whacked a load of new £20s into three air mail envelopes and they dropped on my mat with the notes almost hanging out of the envelopes. I even stayed at his home and went to a Popcorn dance he ran with Major Lance appearing live.

    We know the last few months have felt prohibitive for regulars due to prior ticketing etc. Hopefully the days of fully-ticketed nighters are behind us - the Anniversay nighters being the exception. For the 30th October event we’re offering both prepaid tickets and pay on the door. We’ll let you know if the tickets are starting to run dry so you won’t be left disappointed; most will just pay on the door. This will give anyone travelling a long way the certainty of entry. To buy tickets in advance please send £15 per ticket by PayPal to mattbolton4@hotmail.com If you don't have PayPal email to arrange with Matt. ALSO: Due to the clocks goin back, we’ll get an extra hour so all waits for trains, coaches, etc are kept to a minimum. We'll start at 11pm on the Saturday (BST) and end at 6am on the Sunday (GMT) .....Yipeeeee!

    I think so Graham, I know it’s not Dave listed on the session. Thanks for elucidating on the details
  8. Ady Croasdell
    Very interesting that he says Dave Hamilton played lead on Boom Boom. The session details list another guy but Joe and Dave said otherwise
  9. Ady Croasdell
    Fabulous; what a giant of music Joe was. Unassuming but so talented and prolific. We’ll done catching all that Graham; brilliant memory too.
  10. Ady Croasdell
    No, they’re a group containing Vessie Simmons from the West Coast, produced by George Semper who changed their name to the Sherrills when they got their wrists slapped
  11. Ady Croasdell
    Great info, that’s when I’d have guessed it was recorded. Now to establish if it’s Vessie singing? I reckon she used it later and “forgot” to credit George Semper
  12. Ady Croasdell
    Very interesting, can you let me know where you read that please? Correct and quite similar
  13. Ady Croasdell
    Curtis Colbert and a lass whose name I’ve forgotten. I think it’s on the LP cover
  14. Ady Croasdell
    Before people go nuts on the price for the new 100 Club anniversary disc, I must point out that by error it was pressed at the factory where we did 4 or 5 that we later found there were excess copies on sale on Ebay and Discogs - Sandra Richardson, Smith Brothers, Lorraine Chandler, Nancy Wilcox and possibly June Jackson and the Cavaliers. Those are still for sale for £18-£50 on Discogs so if the same has happened again, there may be a sharp drop in price in a few weeks if copies sneak out.
  15. Ady Croasdell
    Same lyrics but different music to Vessie Simmons I Can Make It On My Own
  16. Ady Croasdell
    Could anyone send me an MP3 dub from a Vee Jay copy of the last 20 seconds please. I need to work out a fade. Thanks Ady ady.croasdell@acerecords.com

    6TS 42ndAnniversary Dance Saturday Sept 18th10pm-6am The 100 Club has been granted the TEN license to hold the dance but be aware the police are insisting on bag searches and body pat downs on entry to the club as one of the terms and conditions. The air conditioning that was largely out of action for the August dance has now been fixed. Given the current Covid situation, we are going to restrict the crowd to 250 tickets. Tickets will be allocated to winners of a ballot for the event. If you haven’t sent in your email details for the draw, please do so we will finalise it on Thursday. Send the email addresses to ady.croasdell@btinternet.com Matt is passing on all the ones he has received since I was away on holiday; no need to panic! We won’t be able to acknowledge we have received each of them, but we will let you know if you were successful or not. The eventual ticket price will be £25 which translates to £26 PayPal, but await the result of the ballot please. Cheers Ady & Matt
  18. Ady Croasdell
    Yes, that is the case
  19. Ady Croasdell
    Kent don’t. When we did, like the Art Gentry 12”, they went to DJs
  20. Ady Croasdell
    Very interesting. Sing in a smooth, sophisticated style that loses the soulful aspect. Pushing to be the next Sinatra. Enjoyable but the backing vocals and subtle rhythms and production make it the gem the record is
  21. Ady Croasdell
    Particularly as Dean’s first European show was Cleethorpes in 2003 not Prestatyn in 2001 - I think that was 2010. Andy Rix found him and I brought him over
  22. Ady Croasdell
    Thanks, I must have picked up mine shortly after
  23. Ady Croasdell
    Only played it a couple of times, really like it but it didn’t fit in with the rest of my set at the time. Paid a few Bob for it - unusual for me
  24. Ady Croasdell
    Sorry, I only touched the surface; Dean or Tony May know
  25. Ady Croasdell
    Hi Lattrice, If you email me at ady.croasdell@acerecords.com I'll send you copies of the CDs we issued the Cavaliers tracks on. Great info on Mickey Robb. Is there a story behind that? I see one of the other writers Joe Marls had some slight involvement at Motown later.
