Ian Dewhirst Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Actually I'd avoid one of the 99p copies, looking through the sellers feedback I came across this: 5 out of 5: "fast delivery, good condition jewel case, only a few finger prints on CD, one pubic hair" Date: 2008/9/11 Rated by Buyer: bdombrowsky2 Seller Response: "???????" Date: 2008/9/12 Some people would pay a premium for the pubic hair LOL......... Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 We all knew that we would loose Levi someday , but the news of his passing is still a shock ......... If you are not touched by watching the clip , and as you say Ian , and shed a tear - or be near to shedding one , you should be ashamed of yourself ........ Thankyou Levi : RIP dear man ......... Malc Burton I think that performance is one of the most touching I have ever seen in my life. Even sadder when you think that Obie has gone too.

Ian Dewhirst Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Did you see I posted up the Nat Augustin video ?? F*%k it. I just spent 20 minutes composing a beautiful reply with TONS of relevent stuff in it (I have to do the Manifesto review for "Northern Soul's 200 Greatest Floorfillers" this weekend, etc, etc). It was probably the best thing I've written all week! But I accidentaly snapped-off the Wireless switch on my CRAP HP laptop and lost it all!!!! C'est la vie. So What? Levi died tonight and I'm feeling very poignant. The Nat song is great and will be the third release on Soul Intention Records. Also could you post the 'B' side as well, as I think this is a brilliant double-sider. Incidentaly, Nat's family to me, as I'm best mates with his Light Of The World colleague, Gee Bello. So does Nat know I'm involved? Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
