Guest melandthensome Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 A few weeks after my mates funeral pete Lawson I went to see his mother as I normaly did and she produced a few 45s and this album to me and said to me 'take one out of the various sounds to remind you of pete' I refused as I knew pete since 1971 but she insisted so I chose the album as I remember us in my flat and also the day the album arrived from the states I still have the album with the original american parcel but the irony of this was when yet another of my good friends left us Frank jackson I always remember years ago frank playing various stuff from the album......... Sad but true......... anyway sorry for the waffling but thanks for the reply mate mel Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Kendra is definitely Sandi Sheldon. She's also the lead singer of The Vonnettes who did Touch My Heart on Cobblestone. They were meant to be called The Vannettes after Van McCoy apparently.

Dave Moore Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The lady on the pic sleeve is indeed Ms Spotswood. As confirmed by her personally earlier in the year as we were preparing the Van McCoy piece for the magazine. It's also (as stated by Roger) correct that the same picture was used on the LP.

Hi Mel My freind Mick Cook, Introduced me to The Vonettes, The Chalfontes and many more. I well remember him bringing a pile of records to our house and saying, listen to this It's Brilliant. He always had some top sounds, the only time I ever saw a Blue Amy Stock Copy for Too Darn Soulful was Micks. He had a "Not A Chance In A Million" Stock Copy which he sold to me, He bought it back Months Later, sold me some others. Happy Days, Unfortunately he's no longer with us, He went to The Torch etc Edited January 6, 2007 by 45cellar Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
