    maybe ive got confused over the other dee dee release being worth more than Valerie's release, for me it needs more investigation, but not tonight. Thanks for the conversation, be back tomorrow with answers I hope

    there is so many writers credits for this song you would think its of Jamaican origin. I used to collect versions of this song, had loads of them, then the internet came along and learnt how many more I didn't have

    Can only echo what others have said, though only saw him a couple of times a year I always felt the friendship was set. Gilly and Nicola

    No, never covered up. Richard Searling did me a tape and on the tape included "Good-bye Mama" on Fayette which I bought from him and also the Nomads, as yet never been played out. I begged him to use it in his sets and a short while after he did. If anyone has a Wigan live anniversary tape from the year it was first played he credits me for the discovery or words to that effect. Not a direct discovery for me but I did have influence in it getting played.

    If its been saved there should be some footage of the Lollipops (Impact + VIP) Group from a Canadian TV show in 1969. Never been able to find it though

    I'm not saying your right or wrong as I don't know the answer to your post but to give some balance but on visiting Gino Washington's house in 85 I got a "Rat Race" (different vocal to "Like my Baby") on Mala. Hand written 45 and only 5 ever made (he has since re-issued it on his Washpan label) Dave Thorley first played at Stafford, I got the second copy, a band member had one. Don't have mine anymore but I know Butch has a copy. Your right it doesn't make sense to only have 5 or 50 pressed up, I was always told 300-500 would give you a break price.

    Andy's book is a compilation of stories about record digging from numerous people around the globe and mine is about the 5 trips I made to Detroit 85/87/90/92/94 who I spent quality time with and amongst the very first to achieve it, finding Little Ann, stopping at Popcorns house for a week, visiting Duke Browner, befriending Dave Hamilton, fainting in Pat Lewis's house, being at a party with George Clinton and that's just the start of it. Also the fun times I had here in the UK with some of these people

    Sure Andy wont mind me speaking about this, as far as I know he is working frantically to finish his. As for my book, I too have been working on my project and it has to be out this year. Anyone who has taken on a project like this will know just how time consuming these things can be. One thing I can say just as Andy would "Its a nightmare"

    Jane Nichols from Halton Lancaster either won or 2nd 3rd prize very early years cant remember the exact details and maybe the prettiest girl that ever went there

    I have the record but know nothing about the main artist, can I ask are you trying to link the backing group (Inspirations) with one of your earlier questions being the Midas Group
  24. Gilly
    As far as I know Claude Williams (Dusty) was the lead singer of the Tomangoe's. Dusty Wilson is a different person altogether, with songs on Mutt and Zebra

    I used to have a UK Queen of Fools issue that had a rubber stamp "Return to BBC library" in purple ink
