  1. Indeed, so sad. Thanks for the music my curry eating friend
  2. Nicola bought me the Holland Brothers book, just started to read, coming on rather good
  3. Seen the top video on Facebook a while ago, really is something else, they come and getcha one day. x
  4. I think that Milton Wright The Gallop sounds similar to Little Ann, Who are you trying to fool in parts.
  5. My favourite voice of all time and there was pressings of it if I remember its a pink label and nothing made to look like the one shown here.
  6. yes remember those nights, fuel for going forward, you cant beet it
  7. Great photo from the older days, does look like Dave Price, anyone know the guys name in the top left corner, (check shirt and denim jacket)
  8. Records like the Falcons + the other #s from that label were very much "tape swappers fraternity" type of sound. There was so much to be had back then at the right kind of affordable price, Millionaires, And the rains came, the Bobby Williams on Sure-Shot, all of the Carnival stuff, so much of the stuff. My claim to fame if I had one wouldn't be for DJing but like me and so many more these things would get played at warm up events by lesser known guys who just was filling in time at a pre allnighter event. Well that's my take on it for what its worth
  9. Ollie had an office within the United Sound building, Cool Jerk was one of the last things cut at Golden World
  10. RIP Frank Garcia
  11. I have just looked at Facebook Detroit Soul (Kevin Spittle) there is an article on his page, my information is the same but it came from another source, someone who wrote music, i didnt pinch it
  12. I know a little more but sometimes you have to be careful, there is always someone ready to pounce on the information and use it to their gain, next you know facts get written as if they are the bringer of the news
  13. No its not in my book mate, I guess it could be
  14. Not a dead end at all, try this Lawrence (Larry) Thomas, Derek (Draw) Ali, Samuel Harris and Lloyd Harris.
  15. Yes those two clips are destined to be used in my forthcoming book
  16. Still have the poster for the Drill Hall all nighter
  17. He was doing things in Burton on Trent in the earlier to mid 70s
  18. Yet more from a fellow who's house I used to frequent, oh I whished he could be still with us to see how the world has took him in their hands, his music lives on. Hope your looking down Dave, and a quote from him "that's my Gilly" something he used to say when I used to go round.
  19. Wonderful, right up my street. Thank-you
  20. He certainly was the man at Yate, up with the best of them. Always had time for people, a great roll model and someone to look up to, he did miss the train a few times so Yate lacked on those nights. Got a few nice group photos away from nighters when he would visit Burton on Trent
  21. remember getting 50 copies of the Jimmy Raye on his own label JRE one time
  22. I bought one of your books Steve, I love my books on music. Whenever mine comes out im hoping to sell a few but its a risk I guess, especially when as I have financed it entirely myself.
  23. The version of "What Should I Do" is the version that myself and Andy "Tats" Taylor got in 1990 The version you put out initially was new to my ears, not as though it makes any difference I guess. There both fantastic just as all her other unreleased stuff and very proud alongside Andy in unearthing it all and from a lovely man Dave Hamilton. Shame both Anne and Dave didn't live to see their life's work hit the world of music with great impact. Thanks to all concerned Gilly and pp Tats.
  24. Ive got an acetate of this and had it at least 25 yrs I have it down as JJ Barnes also the a Capello of it. I know that Tony Hester and Steve Mancha also sang it (unreleased) The Golden World group were made up of members who were available on the day of which Tony Hester was one of them. The song was released by Edwin on Ed Wingates insistence maybe a little extra thankyou for Edwin bringing some food to the table in the form of Back Street, Agent oo soul, S O S and Headline News
  25. Not aware of a radio show, nor dismissing it either but later 85 or more likely 86 is correct as Eric & Vikings was pulled out of Popcorns basement by Chris, Guy and myself in 85
