Dear All, the date is drawing nearer for the Island 50th anniversary. I've been helping with the book and now we're onto the exhibition....and it's contents. This is where you all come in - I need some gaps filling and maybe, just maybe, some of you will have something stashed away in your vast personal archives

OK, eyes down - I need anything along the lines of programmes, ticket stubs, posters, handbills/ flyers, photos, t-shirts, promo items, picture sleeves to do with the following artists - but all originating in the UK. However insignificant you may think it is, let me know and I'll cast my beady eye over it....

Skatalites (early 6Ts)

Sue Records

Spencer Davis

Bob and Earl

Inez & Charlie Foxx

Hi Jo,

I'll have to dig into that box of stuff under the stairs but I'm pretty sure that I've still got the programme for the Island 25th Anniversary do which was @ Shepperton Studios and was the bash of the year!

I'll have a rummage and see what I can find. I've still got my Millie Small 12" which I reissued on the 25th anniversary as it was the record which started it all off for Chris Blackwell and I think it may be the only time it actually came out on Island as it was originally issued on Fontana, so a nice little bit of history there - see scan.

Have you spoken with Susette Newman? She'll probably have an archive of everything.........

Will PM ya and see what I can dig out.......

And I will require an invite LOL!

Pete, I'll double check which labels we've got scans of, but I'm quite happy to 'look after' your Mr Dynamite What does the stamped message say on the label....
