No sorry I don't have a scan.

I think a lot of Rob's acetate went to Chadwick, and then to Rob Thomas

rob used to play some cracking tunes around this time, quite afew have turned up now , but there,s still the odd one like this that deserves turntable action , didn't he also have the female vocal too always be in style ?

Patti Austin "you'll always be in style" was indeed a Rob spin.

Am I right in saying it was off a 10 inch acetate?......if so, I seem to remember him selling it to Shifty down the 100 Club, saw him with it at Mcdonalds later that morning, paid a tidy sum I believe.....if memory serves me correctly of course.......and knowing my memory of late.... :thumbsup:

I remember this clear as the light of day, as I loved it so much when I first heard it.

It's "My Baby Can't Say No" by The Speed Limits. It was played off a 7" acetate, with a badly-typed white label. From what I can remember, there was no label identification. It was one of these records that seemed to go on forever, with an attempted fade-out about 30 seconds towards the end, but they don't give in. The end is abrupt, with a solitary "Can't say no.." from one of the group members......totally stunning!

First played around summer 1988.

yeah April And Blackwood acetate if I remember rightly. There's a scan I think in on of Pete Lawsons mags. Sidney Barnes a few years ago confirmed it wsas the Ad-Libs.

forgot to add....first played by Jimmy Wensiora, again if I remember rightly.

Yes - I know that Rob Marriott bought quite a large chunk of Jim's collection around that time, including one of very few copies of Gewn Owens that don't jump. This must have been part of that buy-up.

Wasn't April & Blackwood, it was an A & R acetate. Keb and Rob had pretty much most of Jimmy's big stuff between them.

That's right - and Keb had the only known (at the time) copy of J D Bryant on Shrine from Jim, which I think is now in the hands of Mr Massey!
