Personally I'd love to hear them do their massively impressive version of Teddy Randezzo's 'You Don't Need a Heart' Truly awesome. ......................... posted this on another thread here about who you'd like to see do cover versions, or something like. would be truly awesome. steve

little anthony - you don't need a heart (teddy randazzo) would have been awesome. steve .....................................

'fraid not Craig, know Steve but not seen him for a while; can remember getting him to play a request for Mike Hunt when he was djing at Astoria, few years back that. Tony Ellis used to be my business partner and he trained with Haguey and can remember him saying you did as well while you was at radio Trent. was at Peoples College when likes of Jon Peters and Dale Winton were there, drinking dinner times in Royal Children. Cliff and Sandra well known round East Mids and still get about despite Cliff struggling with walking at moment. Not seen wayne for few years now, was at Mansfield above Co-op few years back, somewhere up Mapperley Top before that. you should be able to find Steve Phyllis from his name here and send him pm. cheers steve (smith) ........................................................................... Steve, is that Mr Phylis? I ask cos I thought your name on here was something different to that? Anyway, it looks like you know more about me than \ do you, as you mention me training! Ill assume that you are talking about training at Pinxton with Dave Hague? Len G now lives in Portugal, and the other 2 you mentioned were on Lens rock n roll show. Speaking of stuff r n r in all the time i was aware of Wayne Kennedy, its only recently I learnt of his love of soul music.

...................... hi Craig, can remember you from Trent, b4 GEM, also remember Len Groat? doing a soul show, taped it once when he had Cliff "Cadillac" and "Silent" Sandra on as guests, think it was his last show. Cliff and Sandra still out and about at loads of do's. Pretty sure you used to train with a mate of mine, Tony Ellis from Kirkby, if memory serves me well, if not, forget last bit cheers steve

epitome of sound - you don't love me / where were you dena barnes - if you ever walk../ who am i freddie chavez - they'lll never know why / baby i'm sorry chamberlain - tease / when will i know steve

heard this on radio2 earlier in year on way to work, sounded great blaring out driving down motorway!!! got my first copy about '75 from Record Corner, then got Dave from Vallances at Mansfield to get them in shop, very cheap as i remember cheers steve

don't forget Blowflys' take on it, sHittin on dock of the bay. steve

............................ pretty sure it was a bit longer back than that Pete when you did RHTT. along with some stuff from Gordy, changed my buying outlook on records greatly, found myself buying 5 ska/reggae/rocksteady to 1 northern for long time, still trying to preach to the unconverted though. steve

Jackie Wilson - To Make A big Man Cry also got versions by tom Jones Adam Faith P J Proby sad eh. sucker for punishment. ....... also got a What Greater Love by John Rowles ( i think) and a reggae cover, can't think of it at present. steve

without digging it out, pretty sure its got "Real Thing" - tina britt on it, and "Everything I touch Turns To tears" steve

.................................. lad i used to work with did some work there few years ago, was there when they opened it up for first time and he said it was like the Marie Celeste, leftover drinks in glasses, coats in cloakroom, tills open; like it was left at very short notice. would like to see it again, spent many nights there in 70s/80s, not always for Soul events, many a stag do in notts at that time and usually ended up here. steve

............................................... don't think he was from blidworth, lived there at the time, can't remember him at Forest Folk either, memory not what it was though. steve

Had few records off jimmy Wensiora when he sold up, including Dereks old copy of Velvet Satins. Didn't he play at first Wigan niter? heard he was there and had record box with him, urban myth maybe? first time i went to Swan, was raided, and me few month short of my 18th, luckily not pulled. steve

playing backrooms of local pubs to 10 people etc and now I've arrived Cheers! G ................... good for you Gordy, hope it all goes well for you. more like 7 there the night i met you though ;-) would have still enjoyed it if only me there, seems like yesterday not 5? years ago. best, steve

............... always been bit partial to Sammy Turners' version on Millenium, knew this before Hoagys version. cheers steve

........................... had one on ebay just after christmas, low reserve, £50 i think, no bids. steve

....................... picked nice demo copy of this up from shop in den haag few years back, found small shop near centre and had quick browse. got couple of bits like R Dean Taylors' "Ghost....." on Rare Earth, flicking through box next to counter while waiting to pay, and there it was, 'bout 4 gilders, always meant to go back but never got round to it. still think theres stuff to be found there, US airforce base not too far away, never know. steve

............................................... gonna have to get my record boxes unpacked pretty sharpish when i move, another one up for grabs soon methinks. steve

thought it was Belgian but doesn't say so on record cheers steve

sorted it out, on Frankie Records, wherever thats from. steve

old Matlock spin for Rob years ago, great record, got couple of uk and one foreign pic sleeve, thought it was Belgian but could be wrong. steve

.................. Got a Lebanese copy of this, bet it went down a bomb over there ;-) steve

...................... First record i got after split from wife was from Watnall Sunday Market, copy of Vibrations' - Gonna Get Along Without You Now. rather apt i think ;-) steve

.................. would have it but already got two copies. two great sides, yet to be appreciated by the masses ;-) steve
