It's not loading right - but The Glitter Band 'Makes You Blind'... A bit funkier as a band minus the nonce. Dx

Always loved this, specially when heavily under the influence - never got round to getting one - Kitch and Colin Law spin as I remember. Dx

WFON FM All Night Long - believe it came from someone up on Rivington Pike* : ) Dx PS *According to Mr Co(c)kell.

He used to come to Swindon soul nights regularly coz he shared a house with Muff from Swindon. Dx

No it's the Old Grey Whistle Test feature on Northern - in which he says "I've never been to an allnighter" - he was a punk at the time. Dx

Yes, but yes it sounds to be running fast. Wasn't Guy's on acetate? Must be 25 years since I heard it. Dx

The instrumental version Guy used to play is best by miles. Dx

A few years ago I remember me and Pete being collapsed and seriously out of it in the foyer of a weekender when out of the blue Samuel L Jackson came walking by with his entourage - I think I overheard him say "Fcuk me Pete and Dave at Southport?!?!". As you can imagine, being neck deep in doves, we were a bit 'surprised' - apparently he was there doing a promo for the launch of 51st State... Does that count? Dx

Looks like someone doesn't know how to end a sale on eBay. Dx

Oops - it quoted wrong for some reason - it was Rubberneckin he played. Dx

Les Cokell was very proud that he discovered this - though I think that was early 70s. VERY much his kind of record. Dx

Les C always said he was ashamed he played that, and André Brasseur against his better judgment because they were popular. We still have his old Dark Red vinyl 50 box that he used to DJ from at the Wheel. Dx

Yes - Tell Mama by Etta James is also similar. Dx

This reggae version of Sheila Anthony used to be a source of amusement round Swindon:

Never got on with straight reggae (though some of the west indian soul stuff I've heard is blinding) but this well known old club sound is right up my street...

I remember playing 'Have Some Everybody' at a one of Pip's New Years Eve Allnighter's in Carlisle and George Hunt coming over, blown away but having no idea what it was (I like George and all credit to him admitting it)... Conversely I also remember talking to Terry Davies and enthusing about 'Give The Man A Chance' (Soul Twins) which he'd just played and which I'd always loved far more than QCA and him being SERIOUSLY impressed I knew it, saying he found it on a tape and it took months of playing it to 'loads of heavyweight collectors' before he found someone who knew it - I kept my thoughts to myself : ) Dx

ALWAYS detested Doug Banks, same goes for Romance Watson. Dx

I pronounce it 'Sh-ite'. Dx

Not that young - he was 25 in 77. Dx

I remember doing a fair bit of nighter centred stuff when I was at art college (did a lot of drawing at Morecambe Pier and The Unicorn in Leighton Buzzard - not sure if it was me or everyone else who got most paranoid - art on durophet is fun though, but not as much fun as graphic design on MDMA). Not quite sure what the crack is with this Morgan Howell guy - I can get you a high res print of a label and an exhibition print on plain paper for the sleeve about 3 feet across done for about £40 total (from what I can see he's done much the same - except that he's airbrushed on the tone on the columbia label - probably simply to avoid moire pattern of a straight print; moire is the 'tartan' effect you get from scanning half tone dots) - then it's just a case of putting them together and mounting them. Dx PS With the 'vinyl' being routed out of black acrylic with a standard signmakers' CAD cutter

The Philly Groove one is legit - but it's the other take. Dx

Given a good original label scan it would take me about 5 minutes to do a photoshop job on something like this that simply could not be distinguished at PC screen resolution. Dx
