Rick Scott

Well, The 60's acetate/Test press went for £200 + on Ebay last nite Where has this been all these years and was it scheduled for a UK release ? if so i wonder why not, or was it just an employee at Shroeder Music who fancied it cut on a 7" Always wondered why it was never pulled off the Album back then as it seemed the prime candidate. Anyone any thoughts on this ?

Hi Scotters, that is why i know the tune lol, i have the Snorkey Norful CD with I've got what you need on it which did indeed come from Fish, so problem solved on that one, Thanks, Rick

Thanks for the info on that, maybe it is the other vocal version with same backing track i am thinking of ( whatever that is lol) yea shame about that as i'll not be able to down load it but never mind.Brill Soulful Tune no Doubt about it, Rick

Thought i bought a copy of this a few years ago on 12" but can't find it (probably off Fish, not sure or could be my imagination.) What's the story on it ? and if any one has one for sale or can put me on to someone who has please PM me with price. Ta Muchly, Rick

Dylan, it is from the " Heart to Heart collect" CD on Black Grape, May be hard to come by now as when i bought that as a new release CD the track was very popular at the time, to my knowledge not available on vinyl, pure Quality that is for sure Rick

Hi guys really enjoying the George Jackson Thread....But my fav will always be this issued in 1993,

Monday morning blues ?........Well James Bradley just might hit the spot and lighten the Load, Enjoy

Would love to know once and for all which of the Val Palmer issues is the Original (which came first) TH - 255 or 5099 B Looking at info we have is looking like 5099 B

Hi Kev, seemed to remember having this LP myself years ago picked from a junk shop, used to see them all the time and seem to remember it as being a UK thing, sort of cheap cover version lp recorded in the UK so don't think for a minute there was a connection to Val Palmer as an artist but just another cover of the same song ? Does that sound about right to you ?

Cheers John, that looks real nice, well done you, so i was right on one point assuming THIS one WAS issued first (because the numbering for this label is sort of all over the place,) I was wrong when i said it was on HIT RECORDS (val Palmer) but i made the assumption that because Richie Brown came out on HIT in it's own right as well as on Twin Hits with Val Palmer that Val Palmer did?, Hope that makes sense lol, Will have to try and find one of these, very nice. Thanks John for sharing. Cheers, Rick

Yes i suspect that is so well after talking to Mary And Colin and their memory on stuff from back then amazed me. As for the badge i suppose that is nothing new as it goers on today with tour shirts and all the rest of it and just someone at the time decided to do a badge for the event, Hey even i got caught out at the time. Would like to think whoever did them was a Gleggy fan too, as the metal badges very similar it would make you think so, obviously from the same supplier, Have to say though Great Days And Great Nites had by all........ Cheers for now Rick

Thats interesting as i have spoke to Mary and Colin And was informed that the white badge was not an official Cleethorpes Badge, she had nothing to do with having it made so I would not have included it on the cover of the CD/Lp.Had i Known, Seems i got caught out on that one as well. I thought Mary had done them as they looked similar to the ones that she used (probably the same badge makers) The red one was Ltd to 100 badges to be given away FREE to each of the Dee Jays and very close friends etc, So very collectable if you have one. Mary bought the metal pin badges and ordered the centre piece of the Anniversary badge from the printers and stuck them on by hand. The red stickers i mentioned i had spares of on a roll or sheet were NOT the anniversary ones for the badge but spares of the stickers that were on the UK copies of the "So Is The Sun" World Column 7" given away free for at the Anniversary. So there we have it, both Mary And Colin have not been in the greatest of health recently but both were very upbeat and and seemed very happy that i had called them and had a chat and am sure they would not mind me sending their best wishes on to anyone that knows them, came into contact with them over the years or may well bump into them any time soon as they still get out now and again but not as often as they would like, So, Take Cheers for now Rick.

One of his hard ones i believe and not heard it personally although the 'A' side is a bit of a funk affair, will have to try and get to hear this Dylan, Interesting, Cheers, Rick.

What ya trying to say ! PMSL - Nice one Pete

Pleased you like it Chris, such a lot of great tunes out there like this one and the sort of stuff i play more and more at home theses days, Must be my Age....

Have to agree, so under rated like a lot of the great singers

I Love eddie and ernie BUT...................pump up the volume and let it soak all over you

Interesting one this, i remember having a conversation about the badge in question way back in the mid seventies when the 7" single was given away given away at the first Anniversary, I think Mary ordered the metal badges and fitted the centre piece because i obtained some of the spare paper badges either on a roll or on sheets that you peeled off and put in the metal badge, And Yes the white badge was one of Mary's too, Mary must have had some of the other white badges left over and utilised those to make the Anniversary ones and save a bit of money at the time (although some one could have had a white badge and put an anniversary sticker over it) I still have the 2 official patches and membership card and both the red and the white metal badge that you see on the front cover of the "Cleethorpes Story" CD/LP that i compiled for Goldmine Records back in the 90's as those are mine, Did you get your badge at the Pier Anniversary or from someone else at a later date, Anyway what i shall do is give mary a ring and have a chat with her and i am sure she will be able to clarify this for you. Cheers for now, Rick.

If you have ever been through a divorce or broken up from a loved one you may well shed a tear or two. Modern Soul From One Of The Greatest Singer/Song Writers Ever, What Can I say, NOTHING Coz the record Speaks for Its Self mmm mmm mmm

Hi everyone, here is Another one from The "Cleethorpes Winter Gardens" And Maybe a spin or two at the "Pier" One i bought off a couple of lads from Lincoln who's mum if my memory serves me right found it in a local book shop she worked in, "The Walk Will Do You Good" by The Rainbow People A nice PYE Acetate which i think i paid £8 for, Very rare and hard to come by, Used to spin this alongside things like "You've Been Cheating" The AppleJacks (CBS Demo) Even Nev Wherry was well impressed,Enjoy, Rick

Cheers Mike, Good To Know

sorry pressed down vote by mistake, up vote from me, Rick

Then there was this, a couple of years or so after Terry, Different strokes for different folks Eh? Nice.

Morning John. Hope you are enjoying your Bank Holliday and thanks for the JB ( The Man ) TUNE, so staying in that Theme an old spin of mine ( Cleethorpes, What Else? ) From 1975 from the one and only Dennis Coffey, Taken from the Westbound LP "Finger licking' Good". Crank up the volume And Enjoy!

Here is a strange one i have had since the very late 60's, My Darling - Instrumental, often wondered if there was a vocal to this? This is the only video i could find so apologies for the poor sound quality on it, one of those that sounds great out on a good sound system, I love records with vibes on Them, Nice. This is on the "B" side of "Please let me help you" by Diane Lewis on Love Records and is The Funk Brothers although they are uncredited. Cheap as chips too.
