Frank Popp Ensemble - Hip Teens Don't Wear Blue Jeans
I sold one for a tenner about 18 months ago and thought I was robbing the poor guy at that - total crap IMHO Colin.

Fave British Northern Tunes
Here's a couple that are always in my playbox and both on Fontana: Jenny Wren - Chasing My Dreams All Over Town Manchester's Playboys - I Feel So Good The Playboys became an unhealthy obsession for me when I was trying to find a copy, even got to know a couple of members of the group in the process, eventually got one from Japan. Cheers, Colin.

Backfield In Motion - Mel & Tim
Mel & Tim were appearing at the first all-nighter I went to back in '74 at the Queens Hall in Leeds, April if memory serves me right and way back then it sounded great when they sang it, not one I'd play out though or would want to hear at a venue. Colin.

New Soul Nite: Commitment At Huddersfield
I was asked about that comment on the flyer last week at the Steam nighter in Crewe "What does that mean, you won't be playing R&B?", "No" was my reply "only good soulful R&B" Might be better calling it R&S (Rhythm & Soul) rather than R&B but we thought it only fair to put on the flyer exactly what you can expect to hear, howver, it is up to our guest DJs what they play. How many times though have you been to night advertised on the flyers as one thing then when you've got there have you been disappointed with what was actually played. Why not come along and see for yerselves. Colin. PS Yes, same idea as the Camel Club and Rider Club, good seldom heard music.

Mario Di Persia - Anyone Know Him?
Posting this for Pat Brady. Anyone know Mario de Persia from Italy who was at Cleethorpes at the weekende? Pat wants Mario to contact him urgently, apparently the vino seems to have got the better of Mario cos he bought some records from Pat and asked if he could leave them with him and pick them up later. Guess what? Yep he never got back to Pat so there are some records in Leeds that should be in Italy. If you know him can you pass on the message and ask him to contact Pat by email at info@.co.uk Cheers, Colin.
