Sorry to disappoint you - it's the "Annie's Song" issues that are the misprints. The correct title, quite appropriately, WAS "Angie's Pong", which will drop the value of your issue by 50%. If you're going to list it on Ebay, maybe a good idea to use the "Buy It Now" function for 1p. Contrary to most beliefs, this wasn't John Denver's highest UK hit - "Angie's Pong" was a Number 2!

Probably "You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies" - Simon & Garfunkel did release the original of this on US and UK 45s. It was actually written by Paul Simon. It's quite down in tempo compared to Dana Valery and Five & A Penny, and it's unmistakably Simon and Garfunkel, so how it passed on the scene is a mystery! Bearing all that in mind, maybe there is room for "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to be played as a scorching mid-tempo ballad! Gene

I knew an old mate who valued his Soul record collection so much that he put them on a pedestal - just to keep them away from the kids!

I remember buying this off an American list some years ago, really cheap. The description the seller gave it was "Sounds like the Stones"!! When I played it, I thought about what he had said. True enough, it's at the end of the second verse at the line which is something like "good is only very good when very bad...." - which does sound a little like Mick Jagger! Tell me my ears need cleaning out, or that I need a long holiday, please!

Don't start me off Remus!! Oh, OK then........... BOBBY KLINE: Say Something Nice To Me (swapped for "Don't Pity Me" by Joanie Sommers, which I eventually sold for £100) BETTY LOU & BOBBY ADAMS: Dr Truelove - £125 (bought for £15 the week before!) THE LOVERS: Without A Doubt (Frantic) £60 NEW YORKERS: Don't Want To Be Your Fool (Tac-Ful) £50 ....more when I remember them! Gene

Wonder if the director of the company is an ex (or current) soulie? Also wonder if, after a few pints, I'll be able to back-flip and acrobat again, just like in the old days!!!

I wasn't on the scene in the '70s (too young!), but that shouldn't stop me with this list! Gary Lewis & The Playboys - My Heart's Symphony (listen to the intro - amazing what you can do with a taut length of knicker elastic!) P J Proby - Niki Hoeky Lovin' Spoonful - Six O'Clock Baltimore & Ohio Marching Band - Condition Red Gene

The details on the programme were vague with regard to this, but the story that has come to light is as follows (NOTE: NOT ALL OF THIS WAS COVERED IN SOUL DEEP): Sam Cooke was out drinking with friends one night, and went back to a motel with a girl who was waiting for him in the bar. It appears they spent the night together, and when he woke the next morning, she was gone. He also noticed that she had robbed his wallet and other valuables. At this point, he confronted the receptionist and hotel owner and demanded to know who the woman was, and where she had gone. what followed next is a mystery, but the owner of the hotel shot Cooke 30 times, claiming self-defence. Can't remember if she was acquitted or what. It's not known if the woman who Cooke had spent the night with was known to him or, as some believe, a prostitute. It's further unfortunate that the rumour originally circulating about his death (at least until the late '70s) was that he was shot by the hotel maid he had tried to rape. Of course, this was proved untrue by the series of events above. Gene

NO - dunno who had the Edgewood acetate! YES - it was released as The Moments on Hog (apt label, as it's a pig of a record to get hold of!)

Whatever it is, it has almost the same backing track as "I Won't Cry" by Tony Daniels on Beval. Very nice tho!

Sure is Simon! Dennis D'ell (or Dennis Dalziel) was indeed the lead singer with the Honeycombs, and is the same person known for "Better Use Your Head" on CBS.

"Eloise" by Barry Ryan

Jon, Excellent album there mate - brought back quite a few good memories, I can tell you!! Can't believe you got one of me as well; Don't remember you taking it, so I must have been well tanked up - OMG!! The line up in the pic (anti-clockwise from me) are Nikki (Anton's wife), Dave Taylor, Anton and Ken (an old friend who lived in the same house as Anton and Nikki in the Bromley days). Hope to see you and Sue at some point - take care 'til then. Best, Gene
