Wolf Hall is certainly a quality series and we pay our license fee for this sort of stuff. First episode of the second series did not disappoint. Not sure if the BEEB will let you binge watch it on the iPlayer ?

Totally agree - a great price imho. Didn't Tim Brown have one up for auction recently and the starting price was £1500 ? Personally love this tune, but never hear it played out. Why? It is a great punchy dancer. John Weston has spun it in the past for me.

I seem to remember Kenny saying he did not ask Frank to sign the label, but he did before being able to be stopped. I could be wrong as some time ago - think it was signed when Frank was @ Fleetwood Weekender 2001.

J.M. has one as below - if of any use to you. Eric And The Vikings It's Too Much 4 Man To Take Too Long / Time Don't Wait GORDY: 7116 (45s) £100.00

That is truly terrible news. Cannot believe it. I want To Feel I'm Wanted (with the Butlers 1966) is one my fave tunes of all time. And his version with Maze (1985) is pretty amazing too. Not to mention Joy & Pain being one of the greatest ever. We are losing all the "greats" - how depressing. But just play any of above to lighten up your day - I am now. T.

Mid to late 7t's. Train from Banbury to Paddington. Saturdays. U/G to Ladbroke Grove (dirt cheap thanx to Red Ken & GLC) Under the A40 flyover loads of record sellers with great Soul content + Demo's. (I was a UK collector at the time so cannot comment on Imports) Notting Hill next - again loads of record shops - masses of Soul albums everywhere. Portobello Road. Again loads of stalls and shops. Somewhere along that road off to the right - down this road there was a cafe on the right. BUT at the back of it was a record shop - when shut had big dark boards all across it. Masses of rare stuff here. T.M.G. R/W and G/W demo's. Rare issues. Statesides, Orioles. Real good UK Soul. If I remember correctly across the road another shop with masses of Soul albums. Later on in the 8t's - a shop called VINYL ? (think they advertised in Record Collector at that time?) They had loads of brown card boxes full of rare Soul. Again loads of TMG R/W and G/W demo's. Rare Orioles. A big box of UK SUE - most in orig sleeves. Very happy days of proper record collecting "out of town" that have sadly long gone now. But great memories that will never leave.

Vikkie Anders - I need a love so bad / Crook his little finger (the Cream co.) Beverly Young and the Love-Ettes - Strung out (Toeholt)

That is interesting. It is "found love in my own back yard" sound clip I was after. When I listened to that clip I thought it was a bit slow. It is quite a few years since hearing it at Cleggy. - so cloth ears have let me down. (and also not listened to the whole clip WoodButcher put up) If anyone finds a link etc to that title it would be great. Wish I could also remember the DJ that played it - anyone ?

Sam Dees - found love love in my own back yard (unreleased Chess 45) Heard this played out a few times in the Modern Room, Cleggy Weekenders. I thought it was a stand out tune. No sound file anywhere that I can find. Obviously you would want to keep this exclusive. Cannot remember who the DJ was that had it - someone please remind me. I take it to be an acetate or pre-release copy. Deffo would be a great 45 to have if it had achieved a proper release eh ?
