Wasn't a close friend but always found the odd converrsations i had with him to be a pleasure. Nice guy with a sense of humor to boot.
A face that will be missed on the scene..
Still have one of or the original acetate you cut when you first bought this back. Can't remember who i got it from? A perfect allnighter northern record when it was played and still have a soft spot for it. Good call Ady...
Yes the guy he got it from had 2 copies, i had the other one a few months before, not in the best condition, but as i like the record it wa worth getting..
I was given cuts of.
GO Go - Buena Vistas
Hole In The Wall - JJ Barnes
Around stafford time and played them on and off since. Some great stuff came out of that lot..
Yes I know Dave. I had an idea he was going in with them and I told Rob to put B. Smith And Y. Yvernee along with Eddie Parker and some others and when Chris came in he wouldn't buy them cause there was "too many obscurities in the bag"!!!
Yes Dave, that was in Chris King's hands and he tried to sell it to Rob Smith along with some other stuff many years ago but rob wasn't interested so I think he sold them to Domar??
I have an original acetate of a slightly rawer version of "Baby, you've got me" which obviously based on the Prince Harold song.
The notes inside are from Lori Burton and P Sawyer who wrote the song. So assume thats the connection between the songs.
Hi Ion,
I remember Chris having it back in the late eighties. i found one about 3 months after that and still got it somewhere. Still a pretty obscure album..

I think I speak for all of us when we say a big THANK YOU to everone who has donated to this event. We managed to complete the task in just over 14 hours. 2 very short breaks after the 2nd & 3rd rounds. With the weather not being to clever we just wanted to get it finished.
A massive shout to Jock (who took about 4 hrs to wake up even though he was driving the buggy) and my good lady Julia who freezed their butts off sitting in those carts for all that time. By the end our feet were killing us but it was worth it. We have raised over £3500 to date and if Mr Whitmores company Scotrail are donating to a childrens charity of thier own as well which is great too!!
There is still time to donate as the virgin site is still open for a while yet so the more the merrier..
A very hard but enjoyable day for a very good cause, plus Jock running over Andy with the buggy!! Priceless..
