I distinctly remember Sylverster being played maybe around 78/79. 100% as I thought it was a bit strange compared to the usual fare served up in there.I remember M's being totally empty. Sure it was one of those 'quiet nights' when the Casino was next to empty.There seemed to be a mass exodus at one point during the late 70's. Best Kev

Took me a while to venture on to the dancefloor in M's as it used to scare me sh*!less as a young kid, but I remember the first record I danced to in there was Ramsey Lewis' 'Wade in the Water' and the last tune I remember hearing in there was Sylvesters' 'You Make Me Feel Mighty Real'. Best Kev

Where can I find 'em???? Best Kev

Cheers for that Rob. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Don Mancha's story. Best Kev

Its a few weeks now since the cd's been issued and for what its worth here's my two-penneth! To these ears accessing the back files of the Pied Piper material is akin to a chocoholic opening a big fat chocolate bar and revealing a GOLDEN TICKET to appear at the gates of Willy Wonker's chocolate factory. I am a fan and this cd delivers for me and more. It's good to see some of the lesser played out tracks like Miki Farrow's 'Could It Be' and Tony Hester's 'I Just Can't Leave You'on here. And as my good friend Mark commented, 'It's about time the Mike and Ray and The Sandpiper tracks got a broader airing and a little time in the limelight.' Both Detroit soul aka mid 60's through and through. The cd is not without its pleasant suprises. The photos of very young Jack Ashford and Lorraine Chandler and Mike Terry playing 2nd trombone in The Joe Hunter Band are priceless and as usual the sleeve notes from Ady documenting the highs and lows of the Pied Piper production team are as illuminating and thorough as you'd expect. My favourite track at the moment is The Cavaliers 'We Go Together' which I find sublime in its sophisticated simplicity. But like I say I am a fan. Willie Kendrick's version of 'Time Changes Things', though not as heavy as The Metros' version, could become some Pied Piper fans' favourite take. Also if anyone doubted the country 'twang' of Nancy Wilcox's vocals listen again to 'In The End'. I could go on. I love this cd and hope there's still more to come. 1966 Pied Piper a new dimension in Detroit Soul. 'Rock on Tommy' Best Kev

Thanks Mike, Julie and thank you for all the supportive posts I'm sure Pete will appreciate them all and make his day. as an old Mike Terry contribution almost said.....Gone (for a while) But Not Forgotten. Best Kev PS. Anyone sending Pete a cd he say's pleeeeeze...no Spandau Ballet!!

cheers grant its a maybe but i was hoping for a cheaper one. Kev

Cheers grant I'm not at all sure about price on the 'she's gone' but all the info i've found about jb bingham so far was a 'telephone' copy on stardust. still looking ATB Kev

Hi All I'm looking for good clean copies of Charlie Hodges-Loving You is Beautiful-Calla (to replace my mint bummed up copy that cracked in half the 3rd time i played it!!) J B Bingham-She's Gone-UA (pricked my ears up at the last Hitsville weekender in Spain-played by Denny Johnson-hope your well Denny!)-is this the flip of hanging on the telephone??? No silly prices please coz i'm proper skint at the moment. Cheers Kev

Sorry Mike if this is in the wrong place but I couldn't find what was the old members shouts thread. If so please could you please place it in the correct location. Here's a man with many many aquaintances and many many friends round and about and many of you will be aware of Pete's current circumstances. I,for one, am missing his cheeky little face round and about at the moment and it might be a while yet before he's ducking and diving and singing and dancing with us again. Pete has let it be known to me that he sooooo appreciates the lovely letters he's recieved during this time and would like to pass on those good thoughts. I'd like to wish him a speedy return to normality and I thought maybe some of you would also. He's in transition at the moment so not sure where to send lwtters and good wishes at the moment. Pete's had some bad news lately and could do with all the support he can get. So if you fancy sending him a message I know he'll see it here. Sorry again Mike if its in the wrong place. I apologize! Thinking about you constantly Pete. Chin up. You're not alone mate. Pete you gave me some very good advice recently which has really helped...I'll leave it with this lovely song written by Dave Porter. See you soon Pete. ATB Kev... https://youtu.be/zH2ZmdIflrw.

That's him. Thanks for the link. Really nice record. best Kev

Hi I picked this up blind the other day as it looked interesting and have an interest in James Gadson related material. Both sides are quite nice if not quite fitting into any firm genre. Would anyone have any information concering it. It's L.A. 1978 written by Luckey Davis. Are Jamal D and Luckey Davis the same person or related at all? Any help appreciated. Thanks Kev

And we love you to bits Julie x
