Don;'t think they would re-issue it for the 2 tracks, it did not sell in the first place,

how ever "i don't do this " has been Bootlegged& re-issued on 45s to meet demand.

444 acetate----come in julian bentley who asked me if i bought it off him when he sold his collection, answer is NO but Jim Wensiora had a 444 acetate of chris jackson "since there's no doubt" again very rare.

Not that cheap anymore a Andy Whitmore spin !!!

The one who loves you

might be Melvin Davis showing darrell how to sing it , he knows ed as well.

Anyone got a phone number for Andy Rix PM please

Also anyone got a recent phone number for BOBBY PARIS please

Rob

Me neither mate

Gil Blanding NOW SOLD

I would say Ive seen Brian drive incredible distances to do venues in different parts of the country, He did Hemsby Weekender DJ Friday Night & Sat afternoon, then drove to S Yorkshire to do The Corner pocket in Mexborough saturday night (4 hours each way) then back to Hemsby to do Sunday then back to Wales from Hemsby when he was half way home in |Yorkshire.

However, we all take bookings on a verbal agreement and its taken in good faith, a call a couple of weeks before if you can't make it for whatever reason usually does the trick.

i would say Brian is normally 100% reliable in my book

Hi Russ,

Hope you're doing well mate. Not seen you since I guested at your gig on the south coast along with Gavin Page... some 6/7 years ago? A crackin' night.

Had a few experiences like yours. Back in 85 in San Francisco a guy got really aggresive with me when he found out I was a Brit because a UK Soul dealer had been in his shop a few days prior and 'wrecked his stock'. I told him I'd never heard of the guy!! (taking the fifth here).

About ten years ago, in a particularly heavy part of Washington, me and a few mates were threatened, through a record shop doorway, by the boys in the hood for being on 'my street'. Fortunately the dealer was a well respected (and well connected) old boy and he 'gently' persuaded the lynch mob to go back over to the other side of the street where they hovered like Buzzards until we were escorted out of town.

But if you really want a strong dose of verbal abuse, check out Rich Rozen in Vegas. Spend less than $500 and he won't even let you dial a taxi.

A real Bad Mutha F***A!

Got some great stuff off him though last year (for $510!!)

Worth every second of the bitchin'

Cheers

Sean Hampsey

In my time in Detroit looking for records, I came accross sveral people who have genuine master tapes from Motown, we found the Dianna Ross version of "My dear heart" 4 cuts and an inst, plus inst of Baby Love ,Ask any girl and other Hits.

The problem is that the original Motown desk was a 3 track machine, then it went to 4 & 8 track, they were around in the 60s & 70s but now it is a specialist job to find a studio with the equiptment to play them, studio time cost at least $100 an hour, so you could be sat on a garage full of original tapes (which slowly self destruct by the way !) spend $10,000 on studio tme and not find a single good track---on the other hand you could hit lucky and get a "Suspicion, Reconsider, or Stormy" !!

Motown deserted Detroit in such a hurry that they just left stuff behind, which several forward thinking people looked after for future use !

Time is running out, there is a small market for the un-issued stuff and then it will just be left to rot !!!

but the work of Chris Jenna who has sat and unravelled all the paper work and listed tape tracks is a life saver for finding the obscure.

7 places now left for this one ! Rob

You must have a big conservatory.

Ed

MELVIN DAVIS & CLYDE WILSON

Northern Soul The Movie ?? Soulvation ? are working on a full length filum that is a re-working of the 60 min DVD of 2 years ago, John Moore is the producer, the film is in its final editing stages and will run at about 105 mins as far as I am aware contains more interviews, and more footage of recent venues also old photographs etc.

John was looking for a distribution deal to get it into cinemas in the |UK

its a tough job but good luck to them, Rob

Just had another thought on this--wasn't something being filmed in Nottingham about 18 months ago ???

some mystery surounding the cause of death--a post mortem is to be carried out, but it looks like a heart attack after a night out.

JUST HAD WORD Via DAVE WELDING THAT DEE EDWARDS HAS PASSED AWAY AT HER HOME IN DETROIT.

very sad news as I had been talking to her recently about appearing at PRESTATYN 2007, her death is a sad reminder that in just over a week we have seen Wilson Picket, Lou Rawls, Gene Mcfadden all die.

and non were of a really great age.

Dee had asured me that she looked just the same as her Album covers and that she was still at school when she recorded her Tuba outing. A keen painter , dee had left the music business to concentrate on her family in Detroit and seem very content, but was keen to come to England to see her fans.

So thats another one we will never see perform, I ve said it time and time again, get off your arses to see these people perform whilst you can they are not going to be here forever !
