Nice of you to join in Roger. So what's your view of Kev Robert's claim to have created the music in the popular KFC ads ? It's clear the other sycophant doesn't have anything to add of value, but perhaps you do ?

Stop trying to muddy the waters Simon.

James, I'd love to take you up on your fine offer, but something keeps stopping me, I remember what it is now..............I'm not a complete Made me laugh though In fairness to Mick, he has already rung to apologise and we have come to an arrangement, so unless someone is desperate to buy the record in the next day or two, it's going back in my box

By the ommission of the fact that they weren't shown. Therefore they couldn't have been 'popular' I've no problem with what Smithy says, that's accurate, but to claim he created the music is just downright rubbish. he didn't create the music at all. Here's the part it's in Kev Roberts's BlurbsAbout me: In the Entertainment industry-34 years. I became a DJ working at the famous Wigan Casino. Later producing a string of well known Soul artists such as EDWIN STARR, LINDA LEWIS, JUNIOR WALKER, MAI-TAI etc. Spent many years in Radio and currently CEO of VIP Radio(Sky Channel 0196) www.vipradio.net I wrote the book 'Northern Soul Top 500' and promote events all over the UK and USA. Created the music for the popular KFC TV Ads. TV Appearances on ITV, CH4 , CH5, and SKY. You can find out more at www.goldsoul.co.uk to find classic soul music and my own pages at www.kevroberts.com

Knocked £25 off the price

Guess Mark's looking at spending $130 then

So the ads that Kev created the music for didn't actually get shown, so your prevvious comment was totally misleading. That's probably why it's a little known fact. Here's another little known fact for you then. I redesigned Buckingham Palace, but the Queen didn't like my design (Wasn't keen on flock wallpaper, Duke Of Edinburgh said it reminded him "Of a bloody Indian Restaurant"). So it wasn't used. Consequently I don't credited myself as 'Designer of Buckingham Palace' because I DIDN'T DO IT !

"Created the music for the popular KFC TV Ads." Oh, so the follow up ads were popular were they ? Funny I don't remember them

Hi Baz, Ambush is definitely from Richmond, Virginia. The Soul Pushers is the only release I'm aware of. Dade was one of Henry Stone's first labels, based in Florida there were 63 releases between 1959 and 1967 Shagg was owned by, I think, Senator Jones. apart from The Barons, i can only find one other release which is Guitar Eay - Ypu're Gonna Wreck My Life / I'm Never Gonna Break His Rules Again - Shagg 711 Yew released possibly 14 records. The numbering sequence ran from 1000 to 1013, but I haven't got anywhere near a complete listing.

Quite an interesting claim that Kev makes on his Myspace page: https://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=86441985 "Created the music for the popular KFC TV Ads" I honestly thought it was the original artists and musicians who created the music. Never realised that Kev was that talented. All credit to him

Thanks Mark, Couple of others offered me a lift earlier on in the night, I said no thanks because I wasn't expecting to be left behind

Further to being left stranded in Leicester by Mick H, and having to pay £98 to get home in a taxi I now need to recoup that cash...so The Sandpipers - Lonely Too Long - Giant - Ex+ - £250 Books at £400 in Manship and £350 in Brown. Only just got this, so bit annoyed about having to sell it, but I can't cover the hundred pound hole in my wallet any other way. Afraid it's cheque or cash by registered post, unless you want to add 4% on and use paypal. Go on, you know you want to treat yourself for Christmas

Did I ? I must have matured since then. I only think it's rubbish now

Hmmm, they sound familiar places

He did two, one at the Northampton weekender, and then another at Birchley Social Club Junction II. The Birchley show was unbelievable because he did two sets, almost two hours in total.

What a tragic loss. Funnily enough I first met Pedro nearly thirty years ago when he was in the army. His best mate was a guy called Ian 'Mouse' Jones who was from the same village as I was at the time. When they both got leave they would come back to the village for a few beers before going onto Wigan on the Saturday night. I lost touch with both Pedro and the Northern scene when I moved away for work during the Eighties. To my surprise when I ended up in the Midlands and started going to Northern do's again, Pedro was the first person I bumped into at one of Pep's do's at the Wulfrun Hall in Wolverhampton. We stayed in touch ever since albeit on an irregular basis at Soul nights and allnighters. He even tried to kill our hamster by falling down the stairs at our house once, but that's another story, and a funny memory of him that I will treasure. I'd just like to add my sincere condolences to the family.

Hate to disagree with you there Tony, but the dog and trumpet logo appears in both RCA CDs, on the inside back page, as part of the RCA label scans (Or does this not count ?)

A bit of history first. PCRL was Birmingham's longest running Black pirate radio show. Mickey Nold worked for them as a DJ and presenter for over ten years. The Basement Soul show was the Northern Soul show that Mick did, and to add interest to the show 'The Consortium' were regular guests. Membership changed over the years, but from memory those involved were John Weston, Ted Massey, Dave Allen, Bill Randle, John Pugh, Chris Anderton, Brian Goucher, and possibly a couple of others (This was nearly fifteen years ago, so apologies if I've missed anyone !). Mick also did all sorts of other things connected with the scene for his show. I remember doing interviews with people at allnighters, Blackburn, Keele, and Bretby spring to mind. He also took over the whole station and ran allnighters on Saturday nights where we would all do an hour's spot and broadcast all eight hours through the night. I used to do a weekly what's on spot every week as well which believe it or not was recorded at home by me on a reel to reel tape recorder and then posted to Mick. He'd dub it onto minidisk and then post the tape back to me for the next week. I remember the clip on Youtube like it was yesterday, and I've still got the whole thing on cassette somewhere in the loft. Usually Mick would get us round in two's and we'd all record our bit for that month onto minidisc, he would then edit it all together so that it sounded like we were all in the studio together when the show was broadcast. Mick was really skilled at doing this, and it really did sound as though we were all there. For the 1992 Christmas show, which was actually broadcast Christmas morning, Mick decided to get as many of us together as he could and record the whole thing with us all there. So we turned up one evening earlier in December and started recording. As it was an evening, a few cans were consumed, and it just got rowdier and rowdier (I remember Brian Goucher and John Weston being the main culprits). God knows what people thought when they were listening, all you could hear was beer cans being opened and people burping and laughing. Remember this went out between 9am and midday Christmas day. I know after the recording was finished Mick swore he would never try and get us all together and record a show with live mics on us all ever again. Happy days.

Doesn't Chris Anderton look young

Very clever. Worth a bump

Won't show. It says something like "The Owner of this video won't allow embedding please watch it on Youtube"

Neither do I.............

And after the Police caught him he decided against using Cannock Chase and now attends a certain R & B Club in Leicestershire.........No More Doggin'

Ask SteveM or Shane if they know the seller, all three are from Sheffield
