Really loving the music. Any chance of a tracklisting?

i cant wait its brill

im waiting for my next fix!!!!

This was Richard at his absolute best. The quality of the tunes records - old and new was stunning. My personal view is that these are some of the best sets ever played on our scene - I don't think they'll ever be matched for the quality and versatility.

Thanks for posting em up mate.

A pleasure, it just shows how diverse Richard's playlist was and how he tried to introduce great music whatever the decade it was recorded....

Old thread revival. Richard has recently added this to Mixcloud. I know nearly all of them, but some I don't. Any chance anyone could add a track listing please?

Not only the tunes to listen too

endless entertainment as well  😂

brilliant ⭐️🤩

Big thanks to Chalky for the track list.

Other cover-ups are Royal Esquires - Ain’t Gonna Run, The Q - That’s The Way and Sam Williams - Love Slipped Through My Fingers.

Little Ann was an acetate, now issued on Kent.

What an awesome set from Richard - surely a knighthood awaits him?

The version of love slipped through my fingers that Richard played was by nate Adams, not Sam Williams 

Thats one hell of a way to go out...!

Thanks Trev. Wasn’t aware - good version despite audio-quality.

The Ike Strong sounds great. I thought it was True Image first but it sounded different so I wasn't 100%.

I'm amazed it was such a popular record that warranted lots of handclaps in unison.
