What i could never understand was why did Harry Green spend so much time shouting "no pushing at the back"if he opened the f&&kin door there would'nt have been any pushing at the back thick bast$d regards Gilly and Nicola

Hi Murial Day was descovered by Philip (Pip) Smith from Shrewsbury,picked it up when in Ireland. I remember i used to tell him he should'nt brag about that too much regards Gilly and Nicola

Hi Harry, saw Ronnie not long ago (BLESS HIM) as far as i know he still has everything,great guy mad as a wasp Gilly and Nicola

Yea i had the Ben Aiken on WB

I think Dean Anderson may of discovered Ill Keep Holding On but i remember owning 2 of them at the same time, that was before anyone knew it. regards Gilly and Nicola

Yes i agree with you there Dave,in some cases i took it a bit further. Titles such as Unsatisfied/Magic Potion/Our Love/Open The Door i had on all of the US labels,the Quality releases and the British demos +ep of course What a sad twat. If you want to talk about Canadian stuff Ron Pedley from York will enlighten a lot of us regards Gilly and Nicola

I would have to agree with your choices but with an addition and that would be Tim Ashibende.(hope iv'e spelt that right) most of Gary Rushbrooks came thru Tim(a bit of a dark horse you may say)smile. Lets not foget Dave Raistrick and Arthur Fenn when they were kicking it around too. regards Gilly and Nicola.

Hi, i dont know how rare it is or indeed what their full catalogue was but i'll list the two i have seen The Stienways Youve Been Leading Me On.(that was a black and pink label) this one i once owned. 2 the other week i got a Tams Hey Girl Dont Bother Me. from Pete Gent to give as a 50 birthday present for my very old friend Kev from Burton on Trent thanks Gilly and Nicola

Well Dave you know my thoughts on this matter,as i said a couple of years ago my theory is The Sequins(Detroit ones) had three members, i have an original promo photo that Dave Hamilton gave me of the girls,on that same trip i was lucky enough to go round Duke Browners house, he didnt give up alot of imformation but i did get three records from him,one of these was the Sequins 45 Try My Love. At the time it didnt make complete sense but as time moved on having looked at a picture of the Lollipps (4 members) 3 of them look like the girls in the Sequins photo. What i think may of happend is Duke signed the 3 girls added a member and called them The Lollipops.This would in part explain why Duke had the Try My Love 45. This i know does'nt answer the original question (surfice to say people do change) but from what Tim told me years ago having met her non of the girls in either photo match the description of Gardinia Barnes. regards Gilly and Nicola

OK Rob your the man on this one so i'll have to put my hands up.I Don't remember where the 1967 imfo came from but thats how i've always understood it thanks mate oh and my mum says hi regards Gilly and Nicola

Some years ago i spoke to a Sherwood Pee who was living in Flint Mi and he told me he was a member of the 4 Gents Oncore and they later changed their name to the 4Voices! Also whilst looking at the blog theres a picture of the Magnetics acredited with the song The Train on Allrite records, it doesnt list Tony Johnson who was the lead singer at the time however the guy on the right looks very much like him. So now i'm cofused as well regards Gilly and Nicola

I used to have a Lupine (or was it Lupin) copy it had '' Things will be better tomorrow '' on the other side,i think i'm gonna have to pull you on the date 1967? kind regards Gilly Nicola

Yes Andy D played it me awhile ago,i'm familiar with the songs but the solo version was a new one on me and yes it is brill kind regards Gilly and Nicola

Gypsy Woman The Fabulous Peps Premium Stuff

Ant Eagan from Utoxeter. just a guess regards Gilly and Nicola

Yes your quite right Mr Soulsalmon and heres a few more, 1 Carlena Weaver -Jealously -Audel Records. The trumpet break has a miss-note, as does Little Ritchie -Just Another Heartache also in the break. If you listen to the The 4 Tops -Just Ask The Lonely - on Levis second verse his voice drops on one word (oh it makes it sound so much better) and iv'e just noticed that all three of my examples the song title begins with the letter J Regards to Soulsalmon and all.

Funny i think he looks a little bit like Jesus. only joking Johnny. regards Gilly and Nicola

Yes to keep idiots out so we can get on and enjoy ourselves regards Gilly and Nicola

Youve got my vote Mick cus i still see you from time to time. regards Gilly and Nicola

There used to be a Willie from Burton on Trent go to early Wigan/Samanthas/etc real name Willie Paul

Yes i know who that blongs to,early Wigan some of the Derby lot some how got into the Casino without paying and they came up thru the front of the stage,so my betting is it blonged to Nobby Stevens !

I had a copy when it was'nt that well known,swopped a Blue Jays Points Of View(that cost me 35p) i think the deal was with Paul Temple many years ago. regards Gilly and Nicola

Yes i did, when we were all very young skinheads he was seen as someone to look up to and respect, for a start he was older than me, he drove a tasty mini and when it came to fighting (usually grebos) Ged would be straight in swinging his well polished ox blood docs.Istill remember where he lived with his parents, down that hill in Midway on the way to Repton bottoms as we knew it. A well respected member of the community these days Rotary committee and is/was running his own haulage business last i knew regards Gilly and Nicola

In 72 i was 15 i had been asked to leave school (ours was the last year of choice as to staying on into the 5th year or bailing out at the end of the 4th year) can't remember the word the head used on my departure.Got myself an apprentace job as a motor mechanic,had been listing to soul music since i was 12 in and around Burton/Derby.still not happy that my mum had'nt let me go to the Torch and as much as i would love to go to this reunion i did'nt think it right to attend having not gone 1st time round. Oh i've just thought of that word the headmaster used when he waved me goodbye YOUR EXPELLED. regards Gilly and Nicola
