Chalky

And still taking the credit for what he shouldn’t be

How can it be a reissue if never issued in the UK? It may have been done for the scene but it is still a first UK issue.

It wasn’t BBC but Granada TV. Where are the Granada archives now? I would also imagine Palmer has all the footage too and not sure why he didn’t use it on the video release.

Tony Palmer owns This England I believe. He put the film out on video few years ago. There was no out takes on it though?

Not sure who it is aimed at with a £140 price tag?

He never owned it. Soussan sent acetates over. Les McCutcheon Bought Simon’s collection which included DILY. It was then sold to Jonathon who sold it to Kev who I believe then sold it to Tim. The copy in the clip last night looks like an emi/acetate/carver with a photocopied label.

Swan Flight do a 100 count one https://www.swanflight.com/dj-flight-cases/dj-record-boxes-flightcases/7-singles-record-boxes/record-box-7-100.html

That was the last I believe then. October 2nd was put on cause Richard and Bernie had their SASofGB at Wigan Tiffs on.

The schedule for the closure of Wigan....Not sure if the December one went ahead? WIGAN CASINO SOUL CLUB Presents IT’S FINAL PROGRAMME Saturday August 29 Bank Holiday Spectacular All-Nighter Monday August 31 Last Monster All-Dayer Friday September 4 Farewell Oldies All-Niter Saturday September 12 Northern/60s Niter Motown-Stax-Atlantic-Okeh Semi Final of Dance Competition Saturday September 19 An End of An Era Last Niter Final of Dance Competition Friday October 2 The Casino for Just One More Oldies All-Nighter Souvenir “Recording” All-Nighter.

Slacking a bit, few recent shows.... and finally last nights show, a two hour Stafford All-nighters Special with Alan Kitchener.

Blackpool International Soul Festival the biggest and probably the best for what you want. some great live acts too. Blackpool Tower, Whitby, Brid main room, Skeggy in September main room also oldies. There are others but these are probably the most popular for the oldies lovers. Cleethorpes used to be the best till Ady stopped running it, haven’t been since for one reason or other.

Loads on discogs

They are turning up now, been a few last few months, two sellers not far from each other sold on ebay few weeks ago. Not very good record either.

I’ve just sold one for £19 on discogs, was cheaper than all the other copies on there, paid more than a fiver for it too.

But the artists aren’t helping themselves, the Grace Love one above a prime example, accessible to few. Forget trying to make a rarity, make them accessible to all, they might get more attention.

It must cost more or as much to get 50 cds done than 1000 unless they are homemade job

50 cds and $15 for download? Are these artists no longer interested in selling music? One reason I no longer bother with many of these releases, especially with average ballads you hear every day.

Common knowledge his whereabouts and that he is on facebook, or so I thought. He doesn’t get involved and has no interest in the scene.

Sonja Grier SOLD

The show is about the photos Francesco Mellina took at the last night, not sure which last night. It retraces some of those who are in the photos I believe. Russ probably does what he normally does and take all the credit. Waiting for it to appear on iplayer.

Allan still has the acetate is Chris Bartley. The Funny Face girl probably came from the same haul as the Charmaines that Kev Roberts found, all part of a haul of Date and connected recordings.

Not sure where it is now, maybe Kitch, he played it on Dean's show recently.
