Anyone one got any odd copies of any fanzines or magazines they no other get need? Thanks for your time and stay safe.

Don't know if it has already been posted, but just noticed a forthcoming book that should be of interest to some - 'Denise LaSalle - Always The Queen' which is due out nest month. Soft back priced at £14.99 and consisting of 256 pages. Could be a good read.

Many thanks for that Dave. much appreciated. Was January 1997 the first one printed? Don't suppose you have any spare copies, or know of anyone who has? I've only recently picked up two of them and had never seen them before. Really enjoyed reading them. Thanks for your time. Regards IAIN

Many thanks for that. Much appreciated. Regards IAIN

I have just picked up a couple of fanzines entitled 'Soul Notes', which were given out 'FREE TO PENRHYN OLD HALL PATRONS' back in 1997. Did anyone out there go to these nights? If so, any idea how many of those fanzines were produced? Thanks for your time.

It is issue number nine. The shot was taken at Fleetwood.

A friend is looking for a copy of the Kev Roberts Top 500 book. Anyone got a spare copy of one of the editions? Cheers.

No, didn’t think you would, but thought I would mention it. Some are a bit overpriced. I’m after Strength of a Woman, the Phyllis Hyman biog. And that sometimes appears at a similar price. Happy hunting.

There’s a copy on AbeBooks, but it is priced at $225.

Seems to be a bit like another of DG's favourite artists 'muddy waters'. Who knows what the correct story is? Only other person mentioned in the Stones part of the interview is someone called David Sted (?) who DG said he was walking home with after Jagger had been singing and he said to him that the singing was awful.

In the magazine interview he mentions the Ruth Brown record, but gives the fate as 1952. He goes on to say that he knew Jagger well. "I'll tell you the facts. I used to go to school with MJ and to my shame I was the person who introduced him to the music of black America. I remember I'd ordered the Bo Diddley l.p. 'Bo Diddley is a Gunslinger'. I was walking home the same way from school that night I was going to the record shop to collect this record and he was interested and you'll have to come round to hear it some time and he did, and I introduced him to the music." He goes on to say that the motivating force behind the Stones was a guy called Bobby Beckworth, who was eventually elbowed out. He relates that they started off as something off a jam session at Beckworth's house. Keith Richard is mentioned as being there and Dave says he played the harmonica, learning from records. Jagger couldn't play anything and Dave describes him at the time as being an awful singer.

Not trying to make any point. The topic subject was basically did Dave Godin know/go to school with Mick Jagger and I was simply mentioning what DG had said in an interview that I had just read in an old fanzine.

Not by this interview, as he mentions walking home from school with him, going to a record shop to pick up an album, having him at his house and sitting in and playing harmonica in a pre Stones jamming session.

Re. Dave Godin going to school with Mick Jagger. I purchased two copies of the fanzine 'The Gospel According to Dave Godin' ( was there any others) a few weeks ago along with some others and have just began reading them this afternoon. In a lengthy interview, Dave relates that he did go to school with Jagger and goes on to tell a couple of interesting tales around this.

I am trying to obtain at least one copy of all the different fanzines/magazines issued on the scene, as I didn't attend venues or whatever at the time they were issued. At present, I am looking for copies of the following - It's The Beat; Movin' Uptown; New Soultime, Northern Noise; Soul Essence; Soul Notes; Soul Source; the original Soul Underground; Soulscoot; Sound of Soul; Soul Times; TCB; Tracks to Your Mind; Vibe; Wigan Casino. Thanks for your time. SOULED TRAFFORD.
