Stay In My Corner - The Dells (Cadet) G

Anyone mentioned these yet? Joe Tex - I Wanna Be Free Ronnie Love - Chills And Fever G

Between a fiver and tenner for all. Depends if the Studio 1 tunes are originals or represses too. If original might get around £15 to £20 for the Ernest Wilson. Gordon

The greatest ever. R.I.P.

Not For A Moment - Beltones on the flip. EBay is crazy right now - could go for 30 quid, could go for 75 or more. It's hard to figure the true value of JA tunes anymore as a tune that used to go for 50 quid amongst people on the proper reggae scene (ie not the skinhead or mod scenes) can now go for 100. I'd take a guess at 40 to 50 quid though. Gordy

Already been said but I'll say it again. A legend. R.I.P.

I'm a relative newcomer to the Northern Soul Scene, having only gone to my first soul do at the age of 28 in the late 90s (anyone who knows me will know that I'm first and foremost a Jamaican music fan and got into soul via ska and rocksteady). Anyway, to get to the point, I'd just like to thank Ian for putting together the DVDs as those of us who were in kindergarten/junior school (or weren't even born yet) in the early 70s don't know what many of the artists look like and these videos let us see them in action. Some of the music is class too and miles better than the "R&B" crap that infests the charts. Gordy

Couple of my fave gritty numbers from the King stable: Saving My Love For My Baby - Marva Whitney She Made A Mistake - Connie Austin Gordy

First two about a fiver, Tippa & Pato E.P. between 10 and 15 quid as people collect the early 80s UK Bubblers/Saxon sound system stuff. Gordy

Thanks All Not on this Sunday due to the station broadcasting live bands from some hippy festival thing, but I'll be back on Sunday 7th September and remember to check out the podcast in the meantime! Gordy

Just want to say if you've missed any of my shows or haven't listened yet, then please feel free to check out: https://www.djgreedyg.podomatic.com Where you will find all my shows archived as podcasts for you to download in your own time. Cheers Gordy

Sunday 1pm to 3pm, www.ne1fm.com or 102.5 in the Newcastle Upon Tyne and Tyneside area. I'll be playing 2 hours of Lee Perry productions and a few of his own early ska and rocksteady killers. 60s and early 70s first hour, mid to late 70s second hour. Gordy

Bang goes the theory I read somewhere that none other than Jimmy Saville invented the double decks!

Etta James - Rage To Survive. Jerry Butler - Only The Strong Survive. And not a biography as such, but Robert Pruter's "Chicago Soul" is a great book encompassing Chess, Okeh, Brunswick, Blue Rock, One-Der-Ful, etc.

Just the way I do things I guess mate. It's to give casual fans an insight into how the styles evolved too. I'm going to be having an hour of modern ska this coming Sunday and last Sunday I played an hour of dub (just for Smiffy lol). Gordy

Yeah that was a bad idea that night, it clashed with about six other nights. I'm more experienced now though and this radio show is the real deal - going out on FM to the whole Newcastle area and all over the place on the net. Some local promoters still treat me like a joke though. Gonna be their loss not mine! G

Bump Going strong and I've had mails from reggae legends to say they're tuning in. Got a few more jingles in the works too from friends in the business. All cos I don't wear boots n braces or fake dreadlocks I've never fit in with other white reggae fans but eff the scenes - it's about the music, not playing fancy dress! G

Tomorrow at 1pm!! I'll be playing 60s and early 70s first hour, 80s to present day in the second hour. G

Cheers mate! Peeps who don't bother checking me out are gonna miss out big time. I've got some top notch guest DJs lined up for this summer to come in and do a few spots and some artists passing through the area are going to drop in for a chat. Also got some nice jingles from some well known names in the reggae biz. This ain't no fat bloke spinning a few tunes on the internet thing, it's proper radio going out to the whole city of Newcastle and beyond and of course it's available on the net too. I'm trying not to sound like I'm up me own bum here but I've paid my dues on the reggae scene (read reggae scene - not skinhead or scooter scene!) playing backrooms of local pubs to 10 people etc and now I've arrived Cheers!

Not getting much feedback at all mate except from those of you who are my good mates. I've had hundreds of views at CM but only yourself, Nige, Jim, Ian and my Springline mates saying it was good. I'm sick of doing stuff and never getting any thanks for it. G

You'd definitely shift plenty of the lower list on EBay. Especially things like Reggae Girl, Longshot & Feel The Rhythm. Hard to give an exact price, but I'd start them off at a fiver and hopefully you'd get a lot more. Some crazy prices on there right now - 10 quid tunes going for 30 etc... Gordy

You could stick them on EBay but they're only worth about a fiver tops each. Maybe best to sell them as a pack. Gordy
