Hi Looking for a nice condition copy of A Touch Of Venus Please, A Tollie version would do me but please can you qoute condition, price and matrix details on PM. Regards Andy

Hi Pete, I took the exact same copy to JM's thinking it was a boot/ re issiue and he very kindly pointed out that it was the genuine article. Cheers Andy

Hi Tony, have PM'ed you mate as I think we are what is called " off topic"

He does Tone, he was a Stewartby a while ago, I turned around at Stiks birthday do and you had gone, see you soon. Andy

Great stuff lads, cheered me up no end, thanks.

Some decent stuff went in and came out of Carlows, down the Arcade in Bedford, I couldnt see that on your web site Ipman, also Carousel near the bus station Bedford but not up to Carlows for getting the soul sounds.

Quite right and well said, still got an invitations in my collection and it is a great record, the other versions are in the same class as the cpoies of tainted love; rubbish, and then these " taint" the quality ones at the same time.

what a very honest and succinct artical, no bull just how it was for him, first class and well done Mike for spotting the connection.

Having just listened to the show on i player I have to say they made a pretty good job of the programme, despite my reservations, well done BBC. Think it was down to the quality of the contributors as well. Good luck to Elaine with the film. Not so tiny Andy Cratchet

Quality Mike!

I have nothing against PW and he is obviously " trying" to be entertaining but he has made some sweeping generalisations and given that he is saying that tonight's programme is going to be a documentary I do hope he can be a bit more accurate in what he says. Who decide he is the spokes person for the Soul lovers? I think the stuff about the floor at Wigan being full of coal miners& no ladies, whilst amusing, is both patronising and wrong. There is no point ranting on about it as all of us that were there know what it was like, and those that were not,never will. Has anyone listened to PW on radio 6 with Stuart Marconi promoting the " documentary" unbelivable,then to top it off they played the Ian Levine You Tube version of Lou Johnson; Unsatisfied. No disrespect to Mr Johnson or Mr Levine, but it is not a reflection of the 45 that was/is played, why? It's almost as bad as getting one of those Top Of The Pops albums for Christmas by not the real artist, even though this was of course and at 75 a bloody good effort. Just cant understand why they chose to play that version. Nothing good for the scene will come from any media attention, never has. God rest ye merry gentlemen, Merry Christmas one and all Tiny Andy Cratchet

First Class!!

Sidney Barnes; I hurt on the other side; Either label Ambassadors;Good love gone bad : Atlantic.

I second that emotion!! What a load of shite !!

A sad loss indeed, RIP Gill. His father only passed away a few years ago, he was the first black player for Celtic and was tempted over from the American football league to play first in Scotland and later in England, I believe Gill spent some of his early years here in the UK. This was from a half page obituary I read in a Glasgow newspaper, his dad was know as the"Black Arrow" Looks like they were both talented in different fields.

Sorry must have posted that at the same time!!

Its not a boot as such they were on Pussycat, it's a re issue books at £ 20.00 In JM's Cheers Andy

Your right Glyn, it was partly because Beruit was a real trendy place to go, very liberal etc until the punch ups started. Andy

Not sure if I have done this correctly ( scanner virgin!!) but should be attached a scan of a Lebanese copy of Earl Jackon's Soul Self Satisfaction, and its not a big bullet hole in the middle!!

Sorted now thank you.
