jm's story in neil rushton's book nearly brought me to tears, to think what was thrown in the garbage and lost forever is just mind blowing.

Was a big collector of the Black RCA Stockers in the mid/late 70`s, in those days info was thin on the ground, we even looked for a PIED PIPER labellaugh.gifthumbsup.gif great team possibly the best on our scenehatsoff2.gif

Hi Dave

I'm sure I asked our Dave one time about this but ....what is the difference between the GWP productions and the Pied Piper? I know that the Pied Piper were Mike Terry/Jack Ashford/Lorraine Chandler/Joe Hunter/H Williams but after thinking that GWP might be Golden World Productions for years I heard that they had something to do with a guy called George? Was George Kerr involved at any point? Just read back on the GWP threads and saw the George Kerr/Richard Tee association. Sure another George was mentiomed though who owned the GWP label. Anyone?

Here's one of my faves at the moment.

GWP is the same as the label, owned by Gerard W Purcell. It was the NYC end of the operation and when the Pied Piper productions finished they took over. They already had some of their own artists too. It's all in the GWP CD booklets. By coincidence George Kerr was a later producer on the actual GWP label.

It was the Gerard W Purcell and George Kerr I was getting mixed up with.

What about The Hesitations - She Won't Come Back & You Can't Bypass Love, both joint Pied Piper & GWP productions? :thumbsup:

I agree Kevin, I have always been both fascinated and somewhat mystified that the Pied Piper productions were never "catalogued" as such, (to my knowledge anyway! )I appreciate that Ady has thankfully included several unreleased gems on the two RCA (rare collectable and soulful) Kent compilations, and with regard to the "lost recordings" I agree with the sentiment of what could have been, considering the quality of the majority of output by the Pied Piper Team....I just hope that in due course....(as Flynny has mentioned) that a further opportunity to listen to more unreleased masterpieces of similar ilk is maybe possible?......wilxy

If you get down the 100 Club you can hear at least 3 unreleased Nancy Wilcox PP gems!

Talk about "carrot and big stick":D
