    Pass thru some market town out and towards Norfolk way saw a small shop with records in, pulled over went in and the first record I pulled was J McFarland Lonely Lover. Asked the shop owner how much 30p he said ar hold on a minute its got a very small crack on the run-in cant sell you that mate and flung it in the bin behind him. No mate I want that can you give it me then, yes I can do that and picked it back out of the bin. That song was just getting big at Wigan at the time, played perfectly sold it for £20

    Don't know about you lot but iam a git for my soul music books especially if they are written by the guys involved in creating the music we love so much. Ive just about finished my latest one its a book by Al Lewis (who you might say) well he is the guy that formed The T S U Tornados and tells the story of the ups and the downs of his life and the music business first hand. The book is called The Hidden Man not long been out so if your like me a reader of these type of books then you must get yourself a copy its brill and an eye opener

    Still have some tapes that Rob had done for me, I must look them out. When you look back you have to say how much ahead he was, how much vision, and when he used to DJ how many dance floors he cleared and to me is seen as a result because you know in a few years time those people will catch up with you and your prophesy

    Having spoken to E Hollman in the 80s I understood him to no longer be with us, Eddie said "he was a hard man" I said " you mean he would fight anyone" "no came the reply he would fight everyone"

    Great bit of factual words put together about not only a very talented man but a beautiful man whose heart was as big as they come. Its a shame that more humans born into this world hadn't got the qualities this great man possessed. Any one who listened, danced or sang along to those tunes he created have been blessed from above as where he sits right now along side other great musicians. You gave me my life as you did to so many soul fans around the world, (how good is that) Well done Eddie its a great read. Richard I bow before you, thanks

    Can anyone help me locate a set of digital weighing platform scales on the cheap. Light enough to lift into the back of a small sized van but with a min weighing capacity of 100 Kg and mains/battery function. Its main usage is for weighing plumbers scrap copper pipe on building sites and domestic property. Thanks Gilly Northants (orig from Derby/Burton) please PM myself
