Been listening to yours all morning in my van Cliff , down to track 14 so far and superb all the way , with great artwork also .Mine are all packaged up and ready to go ..will have to post playlist on here though as my printer is knackered at the moment ..hope this is ok with everyone ? Thanks for all the CD's so far ..some amazing sides .Cheers ,Eddie

I bought one of the Kenny Smith issues , about £8 I think ? Wish I still had it ...Eddie

Superb podcast Pete , kept me going on the way to Manchester yesterday ...cheers , Eddie

Some sublime music so far ...been playing Ady's today , which considering we've been trading tapes /CD's for 30 years ,has a suprising amount of " new to me " music .I'm burning mine as I write so hope to have them in the post soon .Thanks everyone ...Eddie

I love most of her sides , one overlooked waxing is " Can't forget the one I love " on US Columbia ....recorded in Detroit at Motown apparently ........Cheers ,Eddie

It's only on a Motown karaoke CD Mike , so if you want a copy you'll have to have a carver cut from the CD .Hope this helps ,cheers ,Eddie

Fantastic CD Mike , so many great tracks ,but in particular Sonny Munro on Epic - wow !! Hope to get mine posted out soon ,cheers ,Eddie

Very prolific writer etc on the Detroit scene , he penned Dee Edwards " Why can't there be love " for instance .He was also a talented painter , one of his most famous pieces is the front cover of The Temptations " Psychedelic Shack " album .He will be sadly missed, RIP Hermon .....Eddie

This was a great podcast Pete , many thanks mate ,Eddie

This is totally shocking news , as I was only chatting to Glen at Cleethorpes weekender while we were waiting to get Spencer and Percy Wiggins autographs .He kindly offered to take photos for me with the Artists , and ironically we were both saying what a sad year it had been with the loss of Alan Pollard and Dave Pointon . Rest in peace Glen ......Eddie

Eddie Giles " Losing Boy " [ Murco ] sings " If you knew me ,you would say Eddie you have my sympathy " ....good thread ...Eddie

I'm in .....cheers Eddie

Happy Birthday Eddie , one of the greatest ever performances at Stafford ...remember ," Eddies our name ."......cheers ,Eddie

That is a brilliant record Sean , but it isn't the flip of " Mine was real " , it's actually " A womans way " , which is excellent as well .Hope you don't mind me correcting ......cheers ,Eddie

I think the instrumental version is credited to R.Dean Taylor on the original acetate, prehaps he was supposed to lay a vocal over it , and it never happened ? Cheers ,Eddie

well said Cliff ....cheers ,Eddie

I went to two nighters in Coventry , one at a leisure centre , swapped Carolyn Crawford " Forget about me " with Cliff Steele for Rhonda Davis on Duke .The other one at a different venue was memorable due to the car next to ours in the car park catching fire ..wondered if we would get home to be honest ...lol....what year were these, late 80's ? Cheers ,Eddie

This weeks special guests Eddie Hubbard and Des Fong ...from new releases through to collectors crossover and Rare Soul .......www.banburyinternetradio.com

This is such sad news , my heart goes out to his friends and family RIP Max ....Eddie

I've always liked it , but then I love Beres's reggae sides as well .....cheers ,Eddie

3 great ones there ....cheers ,Eddie

Billy Stewart " What have I done " Chess The Sensations " Lonely World " Way Out Debbie Taylor " Never Gonna Let Him Know " GWP 3 goodies that won't break the bank ,but will satisfy the Soul ......Cheers ,Eddie

I remember this show , Neil played The Smith Brothers " Paybacks a drag " , plus Jerry Jackson " It's rough out there " and Patrice Holloway " Love and desire " , both of which went straight to the top of my wants list .Years later I bought both of them off Neil , so ended up with the actual copies I'd heard on the radio , years before ..I know Neil was after copies of these shows Dave , you may want to let him know you have them ? Cheers ,Eddie
