...."Blurry Boots by Raynoma"..How many Motown titles did she bootleg Rod?

I know Mary Wells 'My Guy' was the one she was charged with but were there

others too?

...Some of the proceeds went to fund the setting up of Shrine Records does that

let her off the soul police hook or not?

Am I bothered? Do I look bothered?

Whatever Raynoma did Im sure she had her reasons and Im not judging her at all. They just don't look the part if you know what I mean. Was it Raynoma. There was another rumour that Berry owed some influential "businessmen" money and it was some kinda payoff.

I have seen I think "Baby Love" and "Where did our love go" too. The labels are kinda blurry and faded. I think at the time these were done they were already back catalogue.

Im sure someone out there knows the full story.

I think I've seen more copies of Jackie Day and Cautions on Ebay than I've seen Mintish copies of 4 Tops and Temptations especially.

So what's that Mellow Madness like. I accessed link to Keb's playlist in Japan and got as far as Elipsis track [which was pleasant enough] but didn't have the time to sit down and listen.

Hi Rod,

I think you'd find Mellow Madness too 70's disco for you. Killer top notch uptempo 70's dancer if you like things in that style, but I suspect you would hate it. All the best Rod.

I say!! This is a scurrilous slur on my open-mindedness and objectivity!! I hate nothing with the exception of Graham Norton's "Dance Fever". I might not be that interested,that is true,as Im not the #1 fan of 70's "lollopers" but I wanted to hear it in the context of the Beach Music thread.

I saw your bro just before Xmas. Lucky I was there. He tripped and fell into his pint. I had a packet of polo mints handy and was able to throw him one which he scrambled into and was able to keep afloat whilst I hauled him out.

Now, if you don't have any copies of my wants, I think you've wasted enough of my valuable time and I must get back to the ironing before the wife gets home.

I have just bought that Roe-O-Tation on Gerim so I trust Im redeemed somewhat in your low but deserved opinion of me.

All the best

I think you'd like Mellow Madness rare and soul - the kind of sound I'd keep and pay homage to in a dsico-jessie kind of way and you'd trade for a dobber. Its that kind of record.

I know what you mean about 70's lollopers, and there are a few, but I reckon if you were still on the Aflex Palace stall and you had a copy of Mellow Madness on there you would have told me to watch the stall for 5 mins while you went and had a fag then told me it was shite and I could have it for a fiver. Mind you Sam, our kid, or Phil would have beaten me to it.

Best...Jordi

Why do I get the impression that you two don't take me seriously!!

Thanks for taking the time to point that out to me Mace. Very kind. I know what you mean about the condition but I know those stickers would bug me and I'd try and get them off and rip the label and bugger it up. I did it once with Earl Jackson. Tore the sticker which tore the label so I took the whole label off!! I was very young and stupid. Im older but still stupid!!

For anyone looking at my ad, thanks to Keith from Crewe I now have Darlings on Kay-Ko.

Try dabbing stickers on label with some hot water on end of cotton bud until top layer removes (almost rolls off when wet)

A tiny amount of nail varnish remover applied in same way helps remove remaining sticky residue......

....usually....

Edited April 3, 200619 yr by Mace

Steve I may be obssessive and compulsive but I wouldn't necessarily say that was a disorder cos if I did I'd have to count up to 100 three times backwards.

Mace, I have tried lighter fuel for price stickers on LPs now and again but it all depends on the sticker and the records all stank of petrol. I thought I'd got into "garage".

On holiday in Cornwall with Mark Bicknell I cut my nose on a piece of kitchen foil whilst eating a sandwich as my wife drove down this bumpy country lane. Usually you can't see anything in her handbag but tissues but on that day she had none, the b*****d. After 45 minutes it hadn't stopped and we pulled up in a car park in Hayle. I got some toilet paper from local loo whilst wife went off to buy tissues. She came back with some cotton wool and I tried to stop the bleeding. By this time Im gasping for a fag so I lit up forgetting that the cotton wool had stuck to me and my nose went up in flames!! Bicknell found it very funny as did everybody else and the bleeding did stop soon after.

So nail varnish, lighter fuel and me don't really mix as I'd probably burn the house down.
