Hi John, and yes, it's Dennis.
Thanks for getting back to me on this one. It's good to know now the names of the guys who put that cassette tape together, or should I say reminded. Of course, I remember your names now but not your faces. We perhaps only ever met once or twice and that will have been via Nick Cowan no doubt. I really must dig that tape out again, it's well overdue another listen. Hope it doesn't snap on me after all these years of being stashed away on my shelves.
Yes, I was, and still am to a lesser degree these days, a UK label collector. If by big you meant UK only, then yes I was. What with me collecting mostly R&B these days, I'm now much more into collecting US labels as most of what I'm after these days didn't get released over here. I still collect UK labels and it's still a thrill. We never grow up us blokes, do we?
Where are you living now? Where's Colin at? I'm hoping Nick's still teaching at the Bluecoat 'cos I need to get back in touch with him. I'm living in St.Helens now. Anyhow, it was nice hearing from you. Perhaps I'll see you out and about sometime?
Regards,
Dennis.
