Ray Dahrouge and Billy Terrell are both still around. One of them just did a CD with Lenny Welch. I interviewed them for the GWP CD and they were informative and pleased their music lives on.

Way off beam there Jock, you're old oppo Colin's on his way down tonight so text him about 2am if you're stuck in Prussia

That'll do me, thanks very much Ady

I keep hearing the original hit version by High Energy, but Millie's LP version is well wicked as we say in the Hrboro 'Hood. Does anyone spin it and are there other good versions?

I'm pretty certain it's Just a demo master tape, but buy Vol 3 and you'll get him doing another very similar. I'm glad you like it, I do too but wasn't sure if others would. Ady

We've got Randolph Walker on Spring coming out soon (wicked tune) perhaps he could mime over that.

That WD40 usually works.

Thanks Martin, we're getting there just The Equations and the Clare Bathes. I wonder if Mr Guarnori is lurking?

Three down, three to go. Clare Bathe, Leroy Randolph & The Equations still wanted and there's a Joe Simon & Clare Bathe Posse duet I could do with too. Dig deep. Thanks

Thanks Paul and all the rest of you. I'm doubly embarassed with the sentiment and the fact that I look like I'm bumping my thread! Apart from thanking you I'd like to put on record my debt to the inestimable Randy Cozens who got the whole thing rolling and all the DJs who have kept us #1 for such a ridiculously long time: Mick Smith in particular has been with us from the start and Butch and Keith travel miles to entertain you and make the soundtrack special. Plus the staff particularly the current mob Kenny, Winston and Sharon who are all long serving and long suffering and the loonies who go out to a dance that doesn't start until way past their bed times. Cheers!

A scan would be nice in the booklet, I forgot it came out here too. Thanks Ady

You lot have started something, I now need the following scans for info The Equations You Make Me Feel So Good Ronnie Walker Just Can't Say Hello (I need a prisine copy of this for a dub pleeeeeease) Mayberry Movement It's So Good To Know Clare Bathe Turn Yourself Around Posse Leroy Randolph Good To The Last Drop Joneses Baby There's Nothing You Can Do Winfield Parker I'm On My Way Thanks in advance Ady

Frank was at Keb's Lost & Found do last Sat, he's a charming bloke and a serious Northern collector. I'm sure he's looking in his gran's attic for more copies at the moment.

We licensed the label originally but have since bought it so we're having a conversation with the geezer who is selling them!

More thanks, you chaps are great, thanks to Sebastian in particular for the scans. Once I've got my copy of the Posse off Des T the whole picture will be complete. Cheers Ady

But Good Taste, have you compared the GD version of Movin On (That's How it's listed in the discogs JC) with the Joneses' Posse single. Karl M thinks they are the same. J-Brew, we're not in touch with GD but would love to be and will certainly ask about that track (which I can't access on this PC but will later) if we get to him. Thanks to everyone this is great fun as I didn't even know the track was any good. Now I need to know the venues Sam played it at and the names of the people who danced to it.

Thanks Cats, I'm guessing GD is Glenn Dorsey from the Joneses, if anyone knows definitively if it's the same recording as the Posse single that would help me. Cheers PS I loved 'Is The Getting Good' but it's a Mercury not Posse/Spring, recording

It's all too much for me. Presumably 'Summer Groove' is by the Joneses or is it the other lot. The CD's coming out at the end of November so I think we'll stick with Movin On if it's any cop. If there was a Pic Sleeve on the UK issue I'd like to see it.

Brilliant but you're assuming I'm brighter than I am, I might grill you about other versions later. Cheers Ady

Any of you modern type chaps or chappesses have a copy of this flip of 'Beauty' that I could buy or borrow? Cheers Ady

Quip of the day Mikey! I'll take a gross.

Yes and I'm pretty sure NJC came out on US Carnival too. There's a pretty good discog in the booklet of vol 3, but I'm not near it for a while. It's not Joe Evans who lectures, he used to go to a class of a lecturer who found out who he was and wrote a book about him. Joe is VERY old and wouldn't be up to lecturing. Terrific bloke though.

Position 999,999 isn't in the top 100,000 Mr "11 year old" Smith!

If the green one IS really ten seconds longer it must be the original unless it's a legitimate re-press using the master tape which would be pretty unlikely.
