Nobody likes a big headed know all and his statement of 'Levine declares war on London soul clubs' was a bit ridiculous. Playing the Snake at the Rocket etc ... Small wonder he lost 'the war' coming to London armed with the Snake ...

Great thread Simon. Roll on the next six pages eh ..

https://www.barbaramcnair.com/farewell.htm FAREWELL MY SWEET AUNT February 4th, 2007 Barbara McNair, Famous Singer-Actress and Wife of Charles Blecka, Aunt of TECI CEO John Thomas passed away after a long battle of cancer. Barbara developed a skull based inoperative tumor after she dealt with throat cancer over the past 2 years. Thomas states that his Aunt will be missed greatly by himself and multiple family members. Barbara who became a film and television star legend after she mastered the art of singing, has recorded several Motown, Pop, Big Band, Blues and Romantic Love songs on multiple labels. My Aunt Barbara successfully took the world with her beautiful looks and was voted one of the Worlds Most Beautiful Women. Her Style, Voice and Talent allowed her to become a legend that will be missed around the World. John Thomas (Barbara's Nephew from the Marriage of Rick Manzie) would like to state that Charles Blecka, Barbara's husband and companion of 20 years has been taking care of Barbara through her battle with Cancer around the clock. To know that Charlie has married my Aunt and watched over her all these years has made me feel a strong emotional bond to him and my Wife Laura, My Children Johnnie & Michelle as our Uncle. John Thomas stated, Barbara came into my family back in the 1970's when his Uncle Frederick Manzie formerly of Berwyn, Illinois married her. When Thomas lost his father in childhood, he was moved to Las Vegas and spend a great deal of time with his Aunt Barbara and Uncle Ricky. Barbara treated me like a son. I've always been proud of her and she taught me more than any school could ever teach you. Barbara was the kind of person that held an inner light, her beauty, voice and music had reached many peoples hearts as she sang with an emotional depth that could actually make you laugh or cry. I mean growing up around such a person was amazing. Barbara has lead a phenomenal life, but she has had her share of tragedy, when she was in the Manzie-Thomas Family, as John's Uncle Frederick Manzie was murdered in their South Bruce Street Home in Las Vegas back in 1976. Thomas stated " I had always thought that my uncle's death had put a stigma on her career. When my uncle was killed back then, Barbara was never the same. Thank god she found Charlie. He is the kind of guy that protected Barbara just like my Uncle Rick did back then. Once Rick was murdered, Johns Grandmother Pearl died shortly after that. Barbara always remembered us and loved all of us greatly as we loved her. Through out the years we all grew very close to Aunt Barbara, traveling around the country doing celebrity events and shows. Barbara and Charlie have spent some time in my home, and we all sing here, I do believe that re-uniting with many loved ones in the past few years inspired my Aunt to release a new CD titled "Here's to Life". On this CD, Barbara sang songs that were her personal choice, and were inspired by her husband Charles and our Family. We are a close nit family even though we lived on other sides of the country. It is hard to loose such a great inspiration in my life, and it's going to be even harder to see Charles go on without Barbara as they possessed a true love that was inseparable. This is also a very hard time for us at this time as my Brother Ronald Thomas was Murdered just a few days before Aunt Barbara passed away. It is like re-living the past. It is almost like re-living the past of my childhood again. Barbara did not know that her nephew Ronald Thomas was murdered last week, as we felt it would only upset her too much while she was dealing with her own illness. I'm very glad we all got the chance to spend time together with Barbara, and I do believe some of the songs she released hit our hearts deeply as they were about true life experiences that we all shared together in good times. I can't praise Charlie enough for being so strong when Barbara needed love and affection in her life. Without Charlie, I do believe that Barbara would have given up some time ago. My family and I flew out to California last fall with my Mother, Wife and Children, and also Barbara's Sister Jacqueline Gaither and Niece Angela Rosenow. Here we all met up with Charlie and we still had a great deal of hope for Barbara as she seemed to be recovering from a traumatic side effect of Chemotherapy. Charlie single handedly took care of Barbara and also inquired about alternative cures for her as the skull based tumor was inoperable. Charles never gave up on this fight with Cancer. He really amazed me at how he cared for her around the clock even sometimes neglecting his own health. That is true love that they felt for each other. Barbara deserved the best and as far as I'm concerned, she got the best the day she married Charlie, and also the day she married my Uncle Rick. They were alike. These types of people influence you a great deal. I feel very fortunate to of had Barbara, Charlie and Ricky in my life. My brother idolized my Uncle Rick, and he loved Barbara dearly. It is a shame that I have lost both of them within a weeks time. What another Great Loss... I love you Barbara... Love John. Click Here for Our Personal Family Pictures and Obituary

So the closet northern fancying post office worker has access to all the right types of tape being the post office n' all. But it all seems so fantastical and people are free to buy from whom they choose. I've not bought records from Lars, but yours and Steve's experiences would make a cautious buyer pause for thought I'd say.

Took you 4 mins to get a whiff tho!

Woss this? He's 5 times more likely to receive them than not? ps, Slider, see the game last night? Shoulda started with Mido mate! Sorry for off topicness, but Pete started it, or was it Hammy??

Toughie this and a pisser for Lars if he's telling the truth. How closely did you examine the package Steve? Were there any different kinds of tape, sealing etc?

Name him mate. We need to know.
