Except that when you PM them with a price they say 'too steep for me I'm afraid'. If they gave an indication of what they intend to pay to begin with it would save everybody's time. John

Good one Nev. But you missed out ' Don't ask how much do you want to pay or I'll bin it'! On recently

Here's a photo of the Motown Tour Programme. It is signed by all Martha & the original Vandellas from when they were on tour here in '82. Martha writes referring to the programme ' We were touring for the first time in England. What a blessing' (I don't think she was being sarcastic!). And an autographed flyer from the Etta James show. Other signatures are by Bonnie Rait who did a number with Etta and Joe Jackson who we bumped into at the bar on the way out. Keith Richard signed another flyer that I put on my wall. Unfortunately that was in an ink that faded before I realised it.

The Masquerade Is Over is either on the Fingertips or the Little Stevie sings Uncle Ray albums which came out on Oriole and both of which I had at the time. Although he sings this song solo on the album. This is definitely the song they sang at Chester!

I was at the ABC Chester show. I lived in a village outside Wrexham that musically was just coming to terms with Bill Haley but I had bought a few TM 45s that I heard on Radio Luxemburg or if I recognised that a new release was a Moeown artist. I had no money, neither did my mate so we bought cheap seats & had enough for a programme (which I still have). We noticed there was hardly anyone there (later estimated at 200!) However, someone came out and asked us to move to the front to help provide more atmosphere. There we saw Soul Sam who was with a bunch of guys I also knew who were a group called The Silverstones (they won Opportunity Knocks 6 times - The X Factor of the day!). Even with the small audience the stars gave their all. Martha opened the show with Nowhere To Run and blasted the place apart for starters!Clarence Paul sang a duet with Stevie - The Masquerade Is Over off one of his LP's. Smokey was on his knees doing Ooh Baby Baby. Georgie fame was OK too. But I have to say The Supremes were stunning much to my surprise. I'm sure that when introducing a song Diana pointed at me and said ' This Is Especially For You' but my mate was convinced she pointed at him! I think every bloke there thought the same. There was no transport home to Wrexham at that time so my mate and I started walking and hitching with no success until Sam & the group came along and we squeezed in the back of their station wagon with their band equipment. Apparently Sam & the group had been backstage to meet the artists. The previous year I had seen Charlie & Inez Foxx at the ABC Chester with The Rolling Stones and I have to say that Charlie & Inez are one of my best Live Soul Memories particularly Charlie carrying Inez (who was wearing a VERY tight fitting gold lame dress) offstage while she was lying backwards on his shoulder singing Mockingbird! I have to own up and say that despite my prejudices about The Stones before the show, they were great. I told Keith Richards this (name dropping) when I met him at a small bar in Greenwich Village in 1981 when another mate Rob Hughes (formerly of ACE) and myself went to see Etta James. He remembered the show and we had a good chat about it. He came across as genuinely 'one of the lads'.

Thanks Everyone but it is now SOLD!

I haven't got it but just wanted to say I saw Johnny Adams in New York about 1991. Some friends and I went to the Lone Star bar near Times Square for a drink and palled up with 2 Puerto Rican scaffolders - it turned out we stayed there from about 2 pm until 2 am. The Ruth Brown show was on in the evening and Johnny Adams. Charles Brown & Snooks Eaglin were on the bill with her. Johnny Adams rehearsed in the afternoon and I had a chat with him and got his autograph on the menu + some photos later on. As you all know he had an incredible voice, it was awesome to hear him live. During our chat he was complaining about not being paid for his UK Charly output. He was really good company and just hearing him rehearse was as good as almost any other live show I have been to. The evening show was great, the bar staff threw everyone out about 6 for a clean up except for us and the scaffolders as we had already made them a profit on the bar for the whole day and we promised (and delivered) much more.

This was listed in the Wants section recently. I dug out my copy which i hadn't played for years - having bough it for the A side. What a great modern track it is. Is it hard to find? Most copies seem to be demos with I Betcha Didn't Know That on both sides.
