No Way...Mr Havekin said he was in touch with members of the very Stickball Team....and that only they and him had ever seen it let alone hear it..

On a serious note, i have been offered a substantial amount of money for this record from a leading and notable record collector.

Is that "substantial" amount ENOUGH to let him/her have it to "fling it like a Frisbie" Brett ....

Nah.... seriously.... sure the show "has go--".... ermm I mean "will go" well mate....

With two "p*ss h**ds" in a room with "a box" to play with at their discretion I'm sure that's the perfect "mange et trois" to have a good time me thinks ....

Mark said "eat three", which if you've ever been out for food with him is just a starter.

Theres no metabolic justice, if you know what I mean.

Mark Bicknell.

Good luck with the show Brett, will be listening.

Go easy on the lager's though

I imagine the badlands of Manchester to be littered with many foul and sinister deviants, so as a precaution I will be armed to the teeth, "Samoan Death Club" (armed with 8 power points), a "Universal Ball-Peen Hammer" and a "Tony Jacklin Sand Wedge".......the last item incase of escaped circus dwarfs....I have encountered their ilk before, a sinister and ugly crowd hell bent on mayhem....usually stoked full of pills and amyl nitrate, a vile combination I assure you. I accept that the journey will have casualties, but for the "Love Of God and Soul Music" I feel it is my duty bound that I make this hellish Radio "Rhythm 'n' Soul Shack".... I heard Chalky was jumped by Wharf rats and they carved an X in his forehead..Just as a warning to others....very ugly but this is the world we frequent......

If I make it, I'll be on air at 8pm - 10pm Sunday December 4th...........Gods Speed.

Enjoyed the show guys, great lesser known tunes - brill . The only downer for me was the guest speaking in indecipherable Sheffield pygmy english - only joking lord bald - top show

Rich

Great show Mark & Brett.

I'd been fortunate that a few of the tracks Brett played he'd put on a tape for me previously.

Mark & Brett, great show Sunday, some brilliant track's played. A couple of my fav's are Ruth Kristie (not sure if spelt correctly) - Make the devil stop messing with me and Pat Clayton - Someone else's turn.

Missed the Artist and full title of a brilliant track starting - Your not loving? me now? hopefully you can fill in the missing piece's.

Thank's

Jesse Fisher - Your Not Loving A Beginner - Way Out.

soulmac.

I didn't get to hear this cause of work, did anyone record it?

Hi Chalky, i half taped it, then somehow forgot to press record for last half hour , have been in touch with Mark and asked if he could send the master recordings of the show onto me. (if so i'll send you a copy, unless someone else has it)

Ps Mac,Karen, think your right about the Jesse Fisher....It'll be my bloody awful Northern accent thats thrown you Karen.

I think you should post a play-list up Brett.

Knowing you as a Class 3 Anal Collector Weirdo, I'm sure they're all still in the correct order in your box

And make sure you post the full title for the Curtis Davis track
