Hey Ted It's a good job Ady didn't ask for a curio as he might have ended up with an old relic like you Djing Dave

Now all you need to learn is how to buy a round of drinks, followed by how to download an mp3 (that's according to Cliff) anyway

I think a shout out for all the other hard working long term radio jocks on Solar and Starpoint amongst many other radio stations who also aired very commendable Womack tributes would be in order too ...... Dave

Traditions Twinkle Little Star" Jerry Townes " You Are My Sunshine" Dave

Somebody else who can't sell the damm thing !!! Turn it over and play "I Had To Moan" then

It's "Little Angel" i'm playing you know it's only mid-tempo !

Open your bedroom widow now i've got it on the turntable for you, smile

Pete That's my point there's still decent records turning up but you really have to go more to hear 'em. To me Joe Mathews is a totally played out oldie, great Detriot double sider but played out. Now his vastly underated New Moon 45 "Little Angel" is a perfect crossover tune.

PeteJust beause a record is poor in your opinion doesn't make it so too others, there are loads of non ( Northern Scene) hits from the 70's which have found a new lease of life in the interim, as people's taste improved amongst other factors.Actually (You Better) Check Yourself is the offical A-side on this release. Why don't you put on one of your podcasts and let the great unwashed decide ? Dave

HeyPeteYou really need to get out on the scene more to find out what really going on. Dave

Really ? I'm sick to death of hearing the damm thing at least a few DJ's i.e Ted Massey have flipped it over and have been spinng (You Better) Check Yourself. Dave

Nice video but nowhere near as entertaining as Val Shivley's effort

Very sorry to hear this. Sue & Jon were a massive influence in my early soul years for this i will always be grateful. rest in peace lovely Sue. Jon you are in my thoughts All my love Louise xxx

No mistakes Robb Just not the full facts what Dave has posted up is a brief resum'e of Richard Brooks career taken from our website to promote the 45.we are in the process of finishing off a more indepth article of his career which we intended to post next week, but Dave T jumped the gun. But just to wet your appetite, the tiny New York release by the Impressions which you have quoted is "I Need Your Love/Don't Leave" on the Swirl label release number 107. Which featured Sam Gooden, Fred Cash and Richard and Arthur Brooks as Mayfield had gone off to play guitar for Jerry Butler. Sorry we haven't been able to give it to you chapter and verse sooner but some of us do have a life which doesn't include reading websites all day. Dave Welding

As quoted by John Anderson today: He remembers buying a soul radio Dj's collection from Baltimore in the 70's which included a copy of the Andantes.The majority of the collection were demo copies, but the Andantes was a issue with a drill hole through the label, a usual practice when records went to the cut outs and usually done while theiy were still in their boxes (hence why sometimes the drill hole goes through the run out groove). Whether this was a single 25 count box or one of several who knows ?This particular copy went to Levine for the princely sum some of 15 quid. Dave

Yes Andy Sterling promotional work from both Steve and Frazer and both their shows are essential listening add this to the solar and starpoint guys along with many others and A.T is getting some well deserved exposure. Oh! and a big thanks to you as I woke up this morning to find 3 A.T. orders via the website from soul source members (don't get any ideas about commission though ) Dave

Hey Rod Were the writers credits 'Mallard, Moorhen and Gosling' by any chance? Dave

I wonder how many people are buying record shop day releases as a investment as opposed to buying them because they really like them. A bit like cup final tickets the real supporters seem to miss out ? Your thoughts? Dave
