Songs In Films
James Brown was in a horrendous film performing wearing a skiing jumper, for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. Allen Tousaint was in the originl version of Hairspray and of course there were loads of tracks in 'Coast To Coast'

A Solution To All Your Problems
That's complete and utter bollocks. I drink quite happily all night. I don't cause fights, I don't spill beer on the dancefloor, and I'm not rude to people. (Apart from Johnny Weston, but that's allowed ) You're trying to take the same fascist approach that the Government took to smoking. You don't like the effect it has on people so ban it. Prohibition re-visited Alcohol doesn't cause any problems at niters. None whatsoever. People do. I don't dispute that some people cause problems after drinking alcohol, but there again, some people drive home after taking amphet. Which is more likely to kill someone. A pissed up bloke at a niter, or someone on drugs in a car ? If we apply your logic to that, let's ban cars because cars kill people. How do you solve the problem though. There's the difficult bit because I have no idea, but just banning it isn't the answer.

Kool Kat Mini Lp
I must admit I thought it was Neil that was involved somehow, and Ady's right, they did all come via Popcorn.

Was it ? J J Barnes told me the 'Hole In The Wall' track was a Motown recording that had never been released.

Yes, but Kent records don't have a 25th Anniversary with half a dozen live acts every week do they.

Dumb Dumb Dumbing It Down
Lock all the niter promoters in a room with a gun each, with one bullet in it. Last one standing gets to open the new temple of northern soul, and call it The Russian Roulette Casino !

Delcos - Arabia - Help Wanted
Bugger...can't read them. Hang on a minute and I'll dig my Ebony copy out Composer details are 'Juanita Henson'. no publishing details on the Ebony copy. Extract from an article in Issue 71 of Soulful Kinda Music In October 1962, the Delcos recorded their first release at the studio of radio station WSBT ‘Arabia / These Three Little Words’. Their manager, Juanita Henson's formed her own label to release the single; Ebony Records. Realising that she might have a hit on her hands Juanita Henson went to Monument Records in Nashville with the hope of better promotion for the single. However Monument had other ideas. They re-cut both tracks with the group backed by the Boots Randolph Orchestra. The new recording was a far more professional effort, but to me lost the magic of the original Released on the Showcase label (A subsidiary of Monument) in February 1963, it was too late. Any impetus gained from the October ’62 Ebony release was gone, and although the group had regional hits, and gained a lot of work from the single, it wasn’t enough to secure their future. Incidentally, the Showcase single was released as a white demo, and then on blue, green, and red labels with the title of the flip side changed from ‘These Three Little Words’ to ‘Those Three Little Words’.

Reissues...worth Anything
It's never an issue for me, the only singles of that nature that I own are the 100 Club Anniversary singles and I have no problem playing any of those at a venue. As many of you know I don't collect any UK releases (Other than the Kent / 100 Club singles), so really it isn't a question I've ever considered. Personally I probably wouldn't play anything other than the 100 Club singles, but as you say, some of the Grapevine stuff is previously unissued so really is no less valid than the 100 Club singles. It's up to you mate, it's no good asking me about DJ etiquette, I fart on stage sometimes

Too Many Chief's-not Enough Indians
I'm afraid that's just a cowards way out. If you are going to make accusations like this you should either name names or not bother making the accusation at all. OK you've said it isn't me, I knew that anyway, but it still leaves the other 10 DJs on at Rugby under your cloud of suspicion, and having accusations like that made can affect whether you get future bookings. OK, I can see you would think that the person you are talking about shouldn't get any more bookings, but what about the other nine whose reputations you have clouded and muddied with your accusations ???? If you are positive in what you are saying, and can back it up with more than hearsay, whispers, and rumours, I won't call you anything other than an honest man with the courage of his convictons.
