FREDDIE HOUSTON - 'IF I HAD KNOWN' B/W THE FIESTAS - 'THINK SMART' - BIG MAN RECORDS BMR 1007 - UNDER LICENCE FROM EMBASSY MUSIC CORPORATION TO BIG MAN RECORDS 2021. BOTH RECORDS WERE VERY MUCH PART OF THE 60's NEWIE MOVEMENT IN THE EARLY 80's, FREDDIE HOUSTON WAS CERTAINLY A GAME CHANGER IN TERMS OF A MORE DOWN TEMPO ACCEPTANCE AT VENUES SUCH AS 'TOP OF THE WORLD, STAFFORD', EARLY '100 CLUB' ETC. 'IF I HAD KNOWN' WAS CHAMPIONED BY THE LIKES OF 'KEB DARGE' ONCE COVERED UP AS HERB WARD, A RECORD RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE LIKES OF SAM FLETCHER, GEORGE FREEMAN, ROMANCE WATSON IN THE SLOWER DOWN TEMPO C STYLE. THE FIESTAS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF FROM STREET CORNER TO SOUL A DELIGHT OF MALE VOCAL GROUP HARMONIES WHICH BECAME AN INSTANT COLLECTABLE AND BIG RECORD AT THE VENUES, BOTH ORIGINAL OLD TOWN COPIES IN TIME HAVE PRETTY MUCH DRIED UP AND CERTAINLY COMMAND A MID HUNDREDS TICKET PRICE IF YOU CAN FIND THEM. COMING SOON FROM BIG MAN RECORDS. QUIK_20210623_174241.mp4

Jon Buck a true gentleman, Soul Man, a class act, such sad news, I had the pleasure of DJ'ing for Jon & Sue at the Unicorn Club, Leighton Buzzard Allnighters as a resident alongside Danny Everard, Steve Whittle, Brian Rae, Adam Buchanan, Keb Darge, Guy Hennigan & others early 80's and several of their RSG events, in Dunstable, London etc. & many Scooter Rally events all over the country during that period, Jon always looked after his DJ's and was a real joy to DJ for, a very honest, genuine guy who certainly made a huge contribution to the Scene during the 80's and early 90's, rest easy Jon.
