I will have a look for my broken W/DJ I definitely did the only repress, it was from the LA company who owned the master. I liked the record so much I thought it would be easy to sell 500, actually was really hard to move them. I could have had them done in 1976, but I would have thought later. I have kept some of the old paperwork from those days, so will have a look to see if original invoice is stll there.

No, it's not a cover of Jerry Jackson, that would have been a bit surreal. Is "I Want To Feel I'm Wanted". I typed out wrong info - been long day.

RIP Mr Callier. I had the privilege of promoting his appearance at Trentham Gardens and he was a total gentleman. He was also not easily flustered; I was playing records on the night and announced he would be on stage soon when his road manager said she had left the key for the dressing room in the hotel and would have to go back for it and the show would have to be delayed. This was relayed to me while behind the decks. Exasperated, I left the decks, walked into the adjacent corridor and kicked in the door to the dressing room. Everyone looked stunned - apart from super cool Terry. He just smiled and led everyone into the dressing room, and soon later hit the stage. A true star.

Carl is a top guy. I see him once a week for a drink, and he always comes up with great stories about the past. We are partners in the revival of the HIB label via our deal with Robert Bateman.

I found between 800 and 900 copies on Sassy when I went to Billy Jackson's apartment in New York. Honestly cannot remember how many were demos, but there were more issues than demos. I think Billy had kept hold of most of his manufacturing run, as when he did Gamble/Huff for the release on Gamble, it was on basis that he did not distribute it. Sold them for £3 mail order, advertised in Black Echoes, and wholesaled loads of them @ £1.50. Gary Holyman tells a great story how we used them one night for currency in a game of poker.

In the USA most of the record labels relied on distributors to promote their releases, especially to radio stations. The labels needed to know that if a distributor was given say 100 free "promotional" 45's they would not just flog them - hence "not for sale" promo copies in different colours to the commercial copies.. The distributors were all powerful in the 60's, for instance Robert Bateman relied on his distributor in St. Louis to tell him how many copies of "If It's All The Same To You Babe" - Luther Ingram to keep making to satisfy demand. When the distributor got through 5,000 copies and asked for the same again, Robert told them he wasd a bit concerned about making such a commitment. The distributor said no problem and contacted Jerry Wexler at Atlantic and said the record was breaking out, and that led to Atco picking up disribution rights to the record. I had the thrill of sitting down with the legendary Hy Weiss some in 1989 and he said scams involving demo runs were part and parcel of the Soul Music industry.

Oh no, what terrible news. A lovely man, was a privilege to sit down and listen to him talk, he had a great perspectve on life.

Great post. I only went to New York's Paradise Garage once, and that night (no doubt down to the Mel Cherren/West End connection) Billy did a PA peformance.

Marie and myself were stunned to hear the news. Always had a great laugh with Gary, last time was just a few weeks ago at Steve Woomble and Sean Kierney's birthday party. Sounds a cliche but Gary was so much larger than life I can't believe he is no longer with us. He was always so passionate about the music. A lovely man.

By arrangement with Robert Bateman, am pleased to say that the mighty mighty ONE MORE HURT - MARJORIE BLACK is for the first time ever being released on a UK single. Label is UK HIB and it is is in stock now.

The single, without photo, still looks great on green HIB issue, dinked to look like USA import. Have also, cos we like demos, done a small run of solid centre white and black Audition Copies.
