Popcorn licenced it in good faith to Vault in LA - agreed deal with them and sent tapes off but insists he never got the advance against royalties payment that was agreed. When he found out years later that Vault has licenced it to Vocalion he was not happy and to make it worse label copy for Vocalion says it was recorded by Vault Records which of course it wasn't - Popcorn recorded it for his own company in Detroit.

My issue came from shop near W'ton. Will dig it our for a scan.

I've got UK issue.

I saw Bob & Earl at The Catacombs in the early 70's, They were pissed and the club owner took them off stage early.Think they did Torch later same night, they had probably sobered up by then. Richie Pitts said that when he was signed to Contempo he used to run into Jackie at the office in Hanway Street. Neil

We had 1,000 Inspirations from the label and expected the original version to arrive, not the differet take. They were really hard to sell at the time and unlike the Yum Yums and John & The Weirdest were legal re-issues not bootlegs.

Am working on a book and need a scan of the Stateside album compiled by Guy Stevens made up of tracks from the Excello label. It was the first compilation Guy ever put together,years before his work with Sue. If anyone can help please send scan to my e-mail account neilrushton2@btinternet.com

Otis was a wonderful guy...great to me in the 70's when I stayed at his house in Chicago and just as wonderful in later years when got to know him again though "Strange World Of Northern Soul". He was a tough guy (cop for Chicago police and top marksman) but kind with it,and very on top of things - couldn't believe it when he died. In the 70's he took me into a studio where Carl Davis was working on a track, absolutely never to be forgotten moment.

Thanks guys. Appreciated.

I am working on a book and need a photograph of Pic & Bill. Can anyone help and send me a scan please? Thanks, Neil
