Apart from FW, did Russ actually discover any real 'soul' records. Was Yvonne Baker down to him?

You may well be right Pete,used to know Alan quite well one time,he was a very nice guy.

 

He was, he once got us a boxful of Polo Mints (when he worked at Rowntrees) typically we got stopped by the police that morning and they thought we'd robbed a sweet shop 

Remember Russ' little record booth/stall upstairs on the M's side balcony?

 

Yup, the thing  I remember about it was there was always a copy of Judy In  Disguise  on Contempo for sale  there. Funny how some things just stick in the mind

Indeed he did....

Yeah, luckily, just before they reached the bag with all the real 'sweets' he came out of the casino to put records in the boot of his car, so we went - that's him, the bloke that gave them to us, go and ask him!

I'd forgotten that, we were just on corner weren't we, on the way back to the station.
