Excellent info Derek.

Same group mate https://soulfuldetroit.com/web07-golden world/golden world story/18-gw-the-reflections.htm

Guy first played it on a radio show in May 0f 1988, probably played it at Mexborough that weekend which was 21st May I think (I was listening to the radio show the other day by coincidence). That was the first know plays on the scene, it was unknown and covered upon as Gino and the Crests I think. It was the same time as Eddie Whitehead was played, all bought in the same trip to the States according to Guy on the show, Bleu Lights being another.

yes mate

Gino and Papermoon was a late 80s biggie for Guy, I bought his copy or a spare off him. I remember selling it 91/92 and it paid for a hotel room for Parkers on NYE

Neither if memory serves, Park Road, up from I think Coach and Horses. That was the pub we had the afternoon sessions in before Tracky, football ground behind the pub somewhere? only went top Royston once and that was when I picked your dad up for Bub's funeral if I remember rightly. You have a sister? Shame about you and yer mum.

what was the date?

DCP, the label was sold in early 1966, my guess is he used the funds to purchase R-W? Just a guess mind as there is nothing concrete anywhere. But I still maintain Don Costa had nothing to do with the production of Eddie Regan other than acquire the master from R-W?

I read what it says, "for Don Costa Prod" but it was a Ramal-Wilson production, the line above just in case you missed it. Again I doubt Don Costa had very little to do with the production rather he simply acquired the masters when he bought Ramal Wilson Associates in 1966.

Billboard extract from 9 Oct 1961

That was Robert John's given name at birth

Don Costa productions for other companies were still happening even when he had the DCP label. Reading the articles from the day, Don Costa it appeared had very little if nothing to do with Eddie Regan release, it's not one of his productions. It would appear he leased or sold it on after purchase to ABC. Likely the purchased of R&W done after the sale of DCP?

Hello Lyndon Your dad was one of the best, a great mate who would do owt for you. It was actually an argument or as said a scrape that I first met your dad, a record one of my mates was selling. After that we became good mates. Like I said I stopped at yours many a weekend. Would come up from Chesterfield to Dj at the Track. We would be carding in the pub with t'other Barnsley lads, Derek, Tubby, Chap, Bub etc in the afternoon before going down the Tracky, half cut from all the ale Often on to a nighter after the Tracky or back to your mum and dads. I made some great friends in Barnsley and had some great times. Say hello to your mum for me, not seen her for years. Chalky

what happened to the original story text?

Merry Christmas everyone

Not that I’m aware off, very few stockers

Very rare Tommy Tate on ABC

Yes it was him I think, Tim mentioned it again t’other day elsewhere

There is a few green issues about, Tim and Butch got them from the label owner I think?

Patrice Holloway - Stevie

There are three red stockers, Eddie Holman confirmed this. The ones seen for sale are the same two copies going round. Shouldn't you start another topic for issues/stock copies?

Don't know but will try and find out

This weeks show (16th December)

April or may???? Suppose it depends on pressing plants
