    That's very sad, he was a smashing bloke who came over to the UK just to see the interest in 'I'm Waiting' with his own eyes. He had a bit of a mobility problem about 4 years ago when he came with his friend Martin Gavin to Crossfire and was proud as could be to hear his song being played out over the speakers and packing the dancefloor.

    Has anybody got a nice clean copy they could loan for a few days please? Ta Ady

    That obscure German LP passed me by can someone scan it and I could use a sound file too. Cheers Ady

    Thanks for such a thoughtful write-up Dave, coming from a man of your taste and experience it means a lot. It'll sound like mutual back scratching but it's true that I credited Stafford and your mob for giving us a direction and purpose in the mid 80s when we were drifting a bit. I doubt if we'd have got to 35 without your scene's influence and cultural exchanges between the nutters of the North and the Psychos of the South. That's why I dedicated the Tommy Navarro spin to Stafford. Cheers Ady

    Super thanks

    That's about it. Around the same time I applied for a job as a plugger at Motown, told them they should release There's A Ghost In My House and I Ain't Going Nowhere, I didn't get the job, Ghost came out as an A side and was a huge hit, Nowhere was stuck on a two track B side of a 3 track single and got............ .nowhere.

    Thanks Ricky but I really need a proper one from the disc

    Come on chaps, dig 'em out, I know they're lurking

    When I started listening to Mike Raven I used to listen to the blues and turn it off when it got to the soul and then did the reverse later.

    Sounds right. I met Mike Cotton a few times playing jazz at the 100 Club. Smashing bloke who could laugh about having rejected Joe Cocker as a lead singer as he was a greaser and the band were all mods and then later rejected Reg Dwight as a keyboards player for being too short and square.

    I remember it well, the LP came out quite a time before the 45 which was only issued when demand from LP plays enforced it. One of the dates-probably the LP release- must be wrong
  12. Ady Croasdell
    I think Mike Cotton's version was a straight copy of Beau Dollar and the Coins on a Fraternity subsidiary. Lonnie Mack on guitar and probably his band

    I could really use a hi-res scan of both sides of these and possibly a sound file too. CDs in return. 1042 is Baby Be Mine/Love With A Feeling Ta Ady
  14. Ady Croasdell
    It was a Goldmine CD, though to be fair we all make mistakes and it was early doors.

    And Troy Dodds was from the Bay Area/San Francisco; I couldn't resist LOL

    I think one award at a time would be best then we can lobby and discuss. Maybe start at the start of a month and end at the end. Also that way we could see how the voting's going and if people disagree will put their votes in

    Soulboy was a big disappointment, this one isn't
  18. Ady Croasdell
    I've seen it, it's great.

    Two super sides, well done getting your mitts on them. Ist is obvious, second a grower.

    Ha. This was a fictitious listing done by my original 6TS partner Randy Cozens putting his favourite book on one of his favourite labels for the fun of it.
  21. Ady Croasdell
    I've never thought of it as a demo Benji. It has brass, vibes, big girl group backing vocals and Lou certainly sings it like he would have on record. Maybe it would have had strings added before issue but everything else is perfect. I'll ask his wife what he recalls about it. Biased I know, but I was never a fan of Roy H's vocals and when I found this my prayers were answered.
  22. Ady Croasdell
    And single

    Have a listen on You Tube, it's a well wicked 1965/6 production by HB Barnum
  24. Ady Croasdell
    Did a version of Dave Hamilton's song 'Lean Lanky Daddy in 2010. I think they're Aussies, was the EP released over there and does anyone know what label. They're touring the US a lot at the moment.

    Great article Dave; wonderful reading. Maybe the producer was Bruce Charles which was Bruce Weinroth's producing name. He was actually Irv Weinroth's son not brother. Irv was the judge father you refer to. That is according to the B&S articles of the time.
