I don't think anyone has said that being a wife beater made the the music crap. This isn't a concert review - the guy is dead and the natural thing to do unless were going to be extremely narrow minded is to pass comment on what we know of how he lived his life. I would have been happy for his life to have been a whole lot shorter, but no one obliged.

Quote from Ike in one of yesterdays free London papers- "Sure I slapped Tina, and punched her to the ground a few times too. But I never beat her," No? Oh, that's all right then. No great loss IMO.

Nice to meet you at last, at the Cracker, Derek. 20 Sqn, 30 Sqn - seems you were avoiding me after you'd joined up too. - Kev.

Were the 16th/5th Lancers at Hohne? If so I had a mate in 'em in '74. I didn't know there was ever anything on in Fallingbostel - but that's the price of being a pad I guess. -Kev

Not sure what I've got "Sweet Thing" on 'cos I've had it for donkeys and would have to dig it out, but think the flip on my copy is "It's A Shame" - yet another nice tune. -Kev.

Not a lot this month: I'll Never Fall In Love Again - Bobby Freeman - Autumn Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil - Platters - Musicor I Just Can't Stand It - Malibus - Duke In The Twilight Zone - Astors - Stax True Lovers - Four Chaps - Co and Ce -Kev

Thought about lying and saying I'd found something really good. I wonder how many PM's I would have had by now?

Nothing to get too excited about, but....... Don't Let It Slip Away - Ral Donner - Inferno I Got The Fever - Georgia Prophets - Eric Sensitive Mind - General Assembly - Destiny Better Use Your Head/Gonna Fix You Good - Little Anthony -UA Cowboys To Girls - Intruders - Ember The Flasher - Mistura - Route You Wont Say Nothing - Tamala Lewis - Destiny Hey Little Way Out Girl - Del Capris - Grapevine (cartoon sleeve signed by Richard Searling) .........and a couple of others in a similar vein......£3 the lot. So if anyone knows of a "T. Dewey" on the scene, who's ex-partner would have ended up selling his records off - He can have 'em back if someone PM's me with a few details. -Kev Kent SOULFUL SOUTH Opening Nite - Saturday 19th January 2008 - DJs Little Ian, Bearsy (Kent Soul Club) Nick Brown (Scenesville) Kevin Kent (Stolen Hours) - Upstairs Woolwich Catholic Club, Beresford Street, Woolwich SE18. £5.00 OTD - Free CD To 1st 50 Thru Door.

Truly amazing! No ones gonna top this one IMO.

Spent that Christmas in South Armagh listening to Archie Bell & the Drells on the radio, but would rather have been at the Torch. Now, where did I put that album? -Kev

Nor me, but my 2 copies are ZTSP106382-1B and 1C, so maybe we've got the set between us! My newer (HNO,SNO,SNO) copy has the MU-1166 number on the right of the label, and my old copy has that on the left of the label, so going by the scans put up that is another variation for both titles Can't believe I'm getting involved in this...... I started it..........I'll get my anorak -Kev

Thanks Pete. What a perfect start to my day while I'm waiting for special delivery of another Astors offering . Kev.

Thanks Malc, that's what I reckoned but was hoping you would post to confirm. Cheers! -Kev

I know that I seem to have answered my own question here - but undoubtedly, as usual, I will be proved wrong

Thanks Chris. I reckon the 2nd copy is a legit re-issue as the song is credited to 2 band members (Herb Ward, Nate Nelson) whereas my original copy is only credited to Nate Nelson. Who else would bother with altering that? I reckon the "new" title, 'cos it makes more sense and can be remembered, is what it was perhaps mean't to be in the first place. -Kev

Only you, Ash, only you.

OK, I'm not into the finer points of vinyl identification 'cos I still don't consider myself a collector and 'cos my eyesight ain't usually good enough to read the matrix. But it was good enough to read this: 1) DON'T HEAR, SPEAK, SEE NO EVIL 2) HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL, SEE NO EVIL Both by the Platters on Musicor MU-1166 with "I Love You 1000 Times" on the flip. The first copy, with a well worn label, I've had for years. The second is a recent purchase, label & vinyl about mint. If this is a re-issue/boot WHY THE TITLE CHANGE? There are other minor differences but unfortunately I am unable to put up scans. Any thoughts on this? -Kev

Not mine officer

Couple of months back whenI was after it there were 4 or 5 on ebay within a week or so. Shouldn't take you too long to find a copy. Kev.

Did they play at Fir Tree Free rpm?

NICE ONE REG!!!! Got my copy off you at Bisley on Saturday and finished it in 2 sittings. Couldn't put it down. My memory is crap, so thanks for reminding me of all the little things like my first Tonic suit, stumbling across the Contempo shop in Hanway street, youth clubs..............the list is endless. Thanks too for providing the best insight into all those great venues I missed when I joined the army/married/had kids and was generally out of the scene. This book is so full of all the human emotions we've all experienced over the years. Anger, greed, malice and jealousy are nowhere to be seen - which sums you up pretty well I reckon! What a triumph Reg! Can't wait for Pam to finish it now, so that I can read it again. -KevIn Kent

Yep just one! -and 2 of the original DJ's are from Wellingborough and Northampton . -Kev in Kent "STOLEN HOURS" 1st Anniversary, ***RAMSGATE***24th NOVEMBER. 2 Rooms + Accomodation + Free unissued Vinyl (first 100 tickets) *** Change of venue - see Events thread ***

Welcome aboard Kath!

Sorry about that Kev. REALLY SORRY Will you be playing PYRAMID on the 8th then? -Kev Kent

I've just looked at the link again. It shows 2 dates, 18th Nov 2007 (was this generated by me viewing it?), and the other which I've just noticed - published 1st Dec 2003. So I'm confused, is this article out of date or is it an annual thing and the script is copied from an old article? I know Kev & Karen are away in a couple of hours, so it might be an idea to keep the suggestions coming guys and a decision can be made when they get back. -Kev Kent
