    One of the most memorable figures (literally!) from my early years of travelling!

    Nice post, and as several people have said, there was always someone who'd look out for you if you were a new face at a big venue - although I knew a lot of the Chelt/Glos crew already it could have been quite intimidating, luckily a couple of Gloucester girls took me and my mate under their wings, can never remember who they were though!

    He he...Dennis Lee was telling me some hair raising stories in that vein on Friday night...just as well I was only in it for the music!! ...Back on topic and back in 72 I was avidly reading all about the Torch but DJing locally so hadn't started travelling - that came about at the end of the Torch but at least it meant that I saw Sam and Dave and the Detroit Emeralds, had a whale of a time and got even more hooked on Northern Soul!

    Oh yes Malc, I'd almost forgotten that classic line!
  5. Jerry Hipkiss
    a proper Sweets on Soultown?
  6. Jerry Hipkiss
    No way did I have a stage name pop pickers! ...in Cheltenham we liked even our commercial dj's to be down to earth, I well remember one out of towner coming in to cover for one night and wearing tight leather trousers to impress da ladeez - suffice to say he didn't and never came back!

    He he...yes, me...I remember being told by one club manager "you'd be a good dj if you stopped playing all that soul stuff" - and here I am still doing it thirty odd years later. Will I never learn?
  8. Jerry Hipkiss
    have to agree, prob 50 tops!

    Have I lived a sheltered life? Never seen a plain yellow One-der-ful like that, got the usual design, what's the story behind it?
  10. Jerry Hipkiss
    Never noticed before that that copy has GENO as the spelling!

    The version Des is playing is a real oddity (to me anyway) - it's not MLL but it IS on Swan - at first listen it sounds the same but I seem to recall hearing a couple of phrasing differences. I won't name the artist just in case, sure Des will!
  12. Jerry Hipkiss
    Thanks mate, memory isn't totally shot then!
  13. Jerry Hipkiss
    Sure it came out on Duke 68/9-ish, blue top half, white bottom half on the label - trouble is I'm at work and can't check...
  14. Jerry Hipkiss
    Noone's mentioned the Magicians unissued vocal yet - or does that not count as it couldn't fail?

    This is one of the most frustrating ones - mine has the 1 scratched in, matt label, bought in late '76 before that awful speeded up boot appeared, and it took me almost the entire niter to prise it from the seller. I certainly wasn't aware at the time of an Uptown boot, never been convinced since and wonder if it was just another run done at a smaller pressing plant?

  17. Jerry Hipkiss
    Yes, three or four as I recall, still got them somewhere!

    Pity you didn't do the proof-reading as well matey ...fun innocent days - that mag must have made no sense to people who didn't go to Yate!
  19. Jerry Hipkiss
    Got that coach several times, great fun, remember Mad Val only too well, , what a character - recall getting the train back from Brum one morning and getting paranoid about MickeyB's sister Mo sticking her head out of the carriage window going through those tunnels!
  20. Jerry Hipkiss
    Might have to dig my UK issue out later to refresh my memory!
  21. Jerry Hipkiss
    Possibly after Atlantic broke the news to Jim Stewart that they, not Stax, owned all the masters? There's reference to that event in Peter Guralnicks book on Southern Soul. Must admit I've never seen these green 'uns before!
  22. Jerry Hipkiss
    Would soul snobs insist on using balsamic vinegar?
  23. Jerry Hipkiss
    I've always regretted not getting Bobby Kline off Ian in 1980 when he was listing it for 8 pounds!
  24. Jerry Hipkiss
    Yes, and I ended up with Tee Fletcher...Gloucester YMCA tune!
  25. Jerry Hipkiss
    Doubtful - there's a buzzing at the start which makes it pretty certain that it was dubbed from the Daran copy
