Anyone remember what year I started playing these at the 100 Club? It was mid to late 90s.

I started going again in Summer of 1998 Ady. Ben E King was well established, it seemed to me, by then.

Yeah think Gerri Granger was earlier than that 93/94 ish maybe.

They were both from the same find so would be at the same time, I'd have thought that a bit early but maybe.

Well I can remember dating this sort called Michella when I lived at the Grange and took her with me to the 100 one night. Can remember hearing GG played. Doubt it was later than 94 as I'd moved from the Grange by then. I'm sticking with 94, or earlier.

I know I was on the DJ roster the first night it was played, as I was on directly after it! (Ben E King)

It was being played when Yarmouth was on, if that's any help.

Nearly, its a CD celebrating 30 years of Kent so I'm doing the history now which is a bit vague for some reason!

What year did the "Gettin to Me" CD come out?

i agree we need more concrete proof than one of Simsy's old birds!

Ady I've got a page from Echoes dated 16 September 1995 with a list of your '100 Club Top 16 'records from 1979.-1996 There are 18 records listed though! Gerri Grainger is listed for 1993 and Ben E King for 1994.

Hopefully I've managed to scan part of the page and I'll send it to you.

Fantastic "Monique" that's surprised me a lot, at least I know not to trust my memory.

Simsy, I owe your ex an apology and you keep dating things by old girlfriends!

Yes I will, just don't tell the wife!

Yeah Gerri Grainger on 45 would be brilliant

Hurry up Ady we still have a couple of weeks to go mate lol

Ady, there's an article somewhere where you describe finding these acetates "Within 1/4 mile of the 100 Club" is it in one of the Cleethorpes Mags ? and Ben E King as one of your favourite sounds / finds of all time ??!!

Where's Chalky ? He'll have it

I remember the article Rob, if I knew for certain what it was in I would know where to look.

I seen to remember something about the Ben E King in the sleeve notes for the cd it is on.

They arrive at Ace Towers tomorrow but the staff are sworn to secrecy at the pain of having their morning biscuits broken.

I wrote about 8 pages on it on the original CD but don't think the date of the find is in there.

I still don't think GTM sounds like Ben E. Too deep. Unless he was on a baritone tone tip in the early days. What year? Is on atco though, hmmm..
