Terrible news. A supportive fan of the scene and good writer too. Will miss you pal. 

Rest in peace 

George was a handful by all accounts, but he did finance the manufacture of the single, so I guess it was the typical ‘he said she said’ argument. 

When I put the Del Larks back together at Soultripusa March 2006, remaining members gave their version of events. 

Sadly George isn’t alive to throw his two penneth in. 

Just a great record with bad distribution due to the players in disagreement with Blackwell. 

Just to reiterate......The Del Larks Black and Silver DJ was first found at Mcfarlane Music, Newark, New Jersey in 1978. 

I eventually sold it in 1980 to Dave Raistrick. 

The promo was manufactured by George Blackwell who not only sang but acted as a local entrepreneur for a few local acts. 

If anyone needs any further info, I will be happy to answer them. Cheers KR

Do you want me to apologise for mistaking you with hall of fame or for calling you a good guy?

Also why are your lawyers watching me? Is that some kind of threat?

UTB...

It’s a cast iron certainty.

Halloffame05. Must be some kind of mistake as that's Soul scene's all round good guy Kev Roberts account I believe.

Halloffame05 is not our account and nothing to do with me. Apology would be nice.

Here you go, Kev Roberts reuniting James McEachin and Alexander Patton at Soultrip Los Angeles in 2004.

Thank ya Dave

You should be able to find audio and video of him with us at Soultripusa Los Angeles 2004 

His other major NS credit is Alexander Patton. 

Both James and I along with Alex and Fred Smith were photographed in the Point Moorea Bar In LA during the event. One of the Soultripusa group took it. Dave Ferguson perhaps?

Can anyone Shed any light on this one ...

Back in the day , Ian Levine used to play the instrumental version of LOVE ON RAMPAGE, By THE GEORGE KERR ORCH ..

Was this ever released on a Single or was it a cover up name at the time , Any help would be much appreciated.

Best

Kev.  

Hello- It came from me in 1975. I hit a store in New York that amazingly had acquired master reels from Broadway and A1 Sound studios. 

Among the tapes were the Perigents(pronounced The Per-regents) Rampage, Instrumental, Airplane Song plus other George Kerr material. 

I shared the story with GK during his appearance at the Blackpool Soul Festival 2017

Not sure I gave the acetate I cut to Ian. Feel sure it went to Rob Smith. 

There you go.......

Pm’d You

I came into Russ's shop on the Saturday afternoon.  You, Russ and Soussan were there, and As was playing some of his synthesizer instrumentals as I walked  in. His version of Thumb a ride was on the turntable. The look on his face was a picture when I said "what the f*ck is this shite". I wasn't  impressed with the sounds or his pink suit!

Pink suit....don’t remember that nor being in RW’s shop.

Definitely never seen a Jamo Thomas. Or a Vala Regan demo. Sandy Wynns Touch of Venus demo never seen either. I did have an issue with a  sample label affixed though.

They were led by Marcel King and hailed from Manchester. My former production partner David Parton wrote the 2 major hits ‘Dreamer’ and ‘Coincidence’. He hails from Stoke on Trent. 

Well not on the Niter scene until the Torch but Derek certainly had it along with Eddie Regan. He just wasn’t known as a ‘Northern’ DJ then.

I remember mentioning it to Alan Day in fact.  

The late Derek Allen may have been a contender. He had Eddie Regan and the Shakers in early 1972. Unless you went to his mobile discos though, you wouldn’t know. He didn’t engage with the full on Northern scene until much later

Remember the small 45 isn’t a boot  Genuine Columbia re-press from late 72 😀

3. I couple of weeks ago

4. Haven't a clue, don't usually go to mainstream northern events 

5.no

6. Because this is a site for conversation. Speculative, well there must be thousands of speculative threads about the nature of or direction of the scene. look at the popular. 'is it time to sell up?' thread for a good example.

I simply wanted a general discussion of current trends in nighters. Really didn't want to be specific Hope you can enlighten us to the facts, and obviously your views on nighter trends are valued too. 

Let’s see if we can can add facts among the ‘speculation’ 

Geeselad responding to totally decent and sensible questions from Supercorsa. In turn answered by someone who was there  

1. Thanks for the plug. 

2. You weren’t there. Numbers were higher  

3. Feb 17

4. You didn’t go.....hopefully our response clears up any mystery?

5. No......great answer. 

6. Funny how the Kings Hall Stoke got singled out? Go figure. 

Thanks for deep interest in the All Nighter which has now run for 22 years. 

Heres the 2019 dates for advance planning:

APRIL 6, JULY 27, OCT 5 

Next up the All Dayer May 19
