These features are great, thanks for sharing them. Just to add a little snippet of info...   I asked Billy Jackson about the Tower 45 and he was adamant it wasn't his work. When I pointed out that it must have been as he worked closely with Jimmy Wisner the 'penny dropped'.   "Ah in that case it is Jimmy putting me down as the writer so I might make a few bucks".  He and Jimmy were close in those days and Jimmy apparently did that on a number of occasions to help Billy out. A decade ago a couple of us reunited them for a fantastic lunch where we simply put the dictaphone recorder on and let them run with their memories.  Sadly both now passed away but a fantastic legacy from both of them will ensure they are always remembered and revered in music circles. 

Regards,

Dave
