Hi Chris, think it's on the 10th the day before we head back to the uk. Think I'll take that Rose Batiste I bought off you a few years back, limited space in the record box and it's such a fantastic double sider.

If your at the Motown studios, don't forget to pop into Peoples Records, lots of lovely vinyl. It's only a 10min walk from the studio, and pretty safe long as you stick to West Grand and Woodward Ave.
