Great sets from Steve,Brian, Kev (complete with chat during records),Ciro & last but certanly not least (Nancy & Pete) puts my megre offering to shame.

Hi Ian Hope you are soon on the mend. Never went to Wigan/Mecca (down to money/logistics etc)but your name was a constant in Blues & Soul in the early 70's. Pete

A sad loss & my condolenses to his family & close friends. Did not know him that well & first met him when i shared a caravan with him & others at Fleetwood i think it was (when Frank Wilson was on i believe) Instantly recognisable, only ever saw him 2/3 times after that (including a charity shop in Huntingdon that he happened to be working in!!!) Sent him a birthday greeting on Facebook last week for some reason (don't usually bother even with people i know well so that's kind of spooky) Rest in peace old bean Pete

Purple Mundi - Stop Hurting Me Baby from a soul bowl pack of Miami 45's is the only one i can recall. With the benefit of hindsight would have bought many more soul packs as would we all i'm sure!!!!

i am interested in this track. Let me know if still available/prefered method of payment. Pete

I AM INTERESTED IN BOTH THESE. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU WANT TO BE PAID. WON'T SEE YOUR REPLY UNTIL MONDAY WHEN BACK IN THE LIBRARY AGAIN!!!! PETE

I will buy the Sammy Taylor. Let me know method of payment. Will reply again on MONDAY as using Library PC Pete

I may be wrong but think this was wrongly labeled on the LP & the actual track is something else!!! Typing this at the Library so will check when I get home. Pete

i saw him at The Rainbow, Finsbury Park sometime in the early 70's. The place was only half full & i seem to remember everyone had to move to the front!!! The band strolled on (guitar bass & drums only) & i thought at first they were the roadies. Jackie came on & was able to do all his moves,smoke & sing looking the epitome of cool. All in all an awsemome performance - don't know how it compares to his shows in the 60's though. Pete

I have a publication called 'Directory Of Soul LP's that I purchase fron Jean Lacomme in July 2000. Not sure if it is still available - if you want the address (or at least what it was in 2000) pm me. Also have another French publication called 'The Black Female LP's Catalogue & Price Guide' that has a publishing date of 1987. Pete

He also wrote 'He's A Rebel' by the Crystals. Reminded of this by a Chanel 4 programme called 3 minute wonder (7.55 to 8.00) that was aired only 1/2 hour ago. Pete
