I have a set of mini fanzines that Dave produced maybe late 80s or early 90s, he was always interesting to talk to, he would review records I had in my collection when I sent him tapes, using the reviews for his mag. Like other individually created fanzines Daves were a source of information I struggled to find before I really had access to the web, so, appreciating Dave may have been a bit of a character on the scene he was for me a decent bloke, who was stereotypical of the vastly knowledgeable soulies on the scene, sadly some I have encountered disappear for a time, but in Daves case I heard he'd passed away.

SORTED! thank you

There was a plot though, to use the comparison with the one that isn't fit to share the same space to convert more of my untamed mates to the real soul side! Appreciate your best wishes, have a great weekend.

I am trying to put together a playlist for my 50th tomorrow, wanted to back to back Pharrell Williams Happy with Velvet Hammer's Happy, can anyone help with a clear mp3 of the Velvet Hammer version? Youtube sound quality not great and no on ITunes for sale. Would very much appreciate any help, Cheers, Lee PS e-mail address available if needed.
