Surprised that Al Hughes on Scope is still there Phil Great and very rare record - and still under the radar to most. Plus, it's crunching Detroit on a beautiful looking label. That is a good price IMO mate Cheers Richard

There are different pressing of this one. Don't think it has been booted (although I do recall previously hearing rumours of this). Certainly nothing in Manship's bootleg guide about it. There is an ATCO distributed version, which is referenced on the label, and also a local Detroit version without the ATCO mention and referencing 'An Empire Production'. Cheers Richard

I choose the progressive scene I do not want to be part of the nostalgia scene. Richard

A sad day indeed and a truly great artist. Sincere condolences. This is a great example of Mary's beautiful music R.I.P. Richard

Right on Derek Richard

Come on Tee - you know you want to post that letter up on here Richard

Really enjoyed reading that Andy - what a great story Thank you for all your determination and effort to get to the bottom of one of Detroit's more intriguing Northern secrets. Cheers Richard

Right on Chalky - it's fabulous - ignore the naysayers Cheers Richard

The old Sandpiper club in the Nottingham lace market for me was the Damned - plus loads at that place at the time - S & Banshees, Stiff Little Fingers, Dickies (US), and the Ruts were especially good live Missed the pistols there under a pseudonym but hey!

The Damned in their early phase - pre TOTP - were great - and great live too Good to see Ace releasing more of this kind of stuff. Cheers Richard

OK - I'm up to track 10 - The Pied Piper Players "That's What Love Is" - what an absolutely awesome track - it's got me tingling with gosebumps - brilliant That Rose Batiste is also sooooo good! Cheers Richard

Also got mine this morning - thanks Ady It's a lovely promo copy with a really nice embossed promo stamp on the cover - brilliant stuff The booklet and other artwork is just fabulous - love it - very smart Just about to give it a first play - and I can't wait to read all the info in the booklet Cheers Richard

Cheers John Anyone know if there is another way to listen to it apart from SkyPlus (I don't have that)? Cheers Richard

Well ... did anyone listen? If so ... what was it like please? And ... is it available on podcast? Thanks Richard

Thanks Kev Cheers Richard

Hi Kev Are you able to let us know if the show will be live or pre-recorded please? Cheers Richard

Hoping for some upfront, forward thinking Northern and rare soul - not the usual

Another sad loss - and a well, well underrated talent R.I.P Marva. Here's the thumping Detroit-related flip-side to the incredible track above. Richard
