With the recent 'show' part one with Kev, I was looking through some old correspondence and came across this letter from Simon to Fred Kapelan in Brooklyn.

To give background, Simon is using the home address of Chris Tipping who financed his first trip to New York. Chris' father owned a major engineering company, Tipco Tools on Gelderd Road, Leeds.

Chris owned a 'dino' car, not sure if it was a Ferrari or Fiat version ( it was white so probably a Fiat) registration number LOV 750. Strange how I can remember this stuff from 50+ years ago but can't remember what I had for breakfast!

I may have previously mentioned that I was at Chris' apartment when Simon returned home with his brown leather suitcase full of 45s. I managed to snag a good few before his first ever sales list was produced. As they say, the rest his history.

Happy days

PS. My name is NOT Cohen-Bentley and I'm not Jewish but I am a Yorkshireman😁
