That E-mail didn't work, ask the dude to save it for me and I'll cough up next week. Ta Ady

The Atlantic singles were Crossover productions, 'Improve' is awful! Ady

"Seen the fixtures yet? An interesting first Wednesday night of the season!!" (anyone know how you do that grey box thing for quotes?) Our 11 mercenary strangers will stuff your eleven pimply YTS trainees. Thanks to all for the suggestions, Let me know what you're charging Christian when it arrives. Up the city Ady

Sorry, I ain't got sound Ady

And I need to buy Sheila Ferguson 'Heartbroken Memories'. She's in a West End play at the moment! Ady

That's it's 30th anniversary then. I'll double the price and give you £6 for it. Don't tell me anything else I sold you, I'll only get depressed. I can remember the UK Queen Of Fools issue as if it was yesterday. Ady

Ian Levine once told me it had the best Northern Soul track ever on it. I like it but not that much, it's good pop Northern. Ady

Yeah but who wants to flog me the bleeding records. Come back Mick. Ady

He's a corker and it's a fascinating story. I actually sent him there to pick up some dosh I gave to a mate at Prestatyn, who was going to LA, for a single I bought off him (and to see if there were any old royalties lying around). Ady

"No offence meant, but I've never understood the attitude that implies "our music" is sacred, and that cover versions are the devil's work. " I like covers if they're any good, eg The Alan Bown Set 'It's Growing', but they should only be done if they add a new angle or put something different or better in there. Paul just hasn't got a jazz voice, it's as feeble as Madonna's 'American Pie' (or any cover by Blondie). Ady

It could have been Bobby Wells 'the Psychedelic Theme', that was the instrumental to his great 'Let's Cop A Groove' that was from the same stable. It's dead good actually, I've been meaning to play it for 15 years. Ady

Roccia has put up a bunch on his soul club's site. Some very good ones and only one of me in a dodgy shirt, sporting a quiff I never realised I had. https://www.leaningtowersoulclub.com/Cleethorpes.html Ady PS Thanks to all the doods who went to Cleethorpes, I enjoyed it for once. It was stress free(ish) warm, laid back and groovy (though I'll be putting a rider in the artists' contract not to run large breast contests during the show). We might even do another one.

Yeah but I was trying to make the point that he can't sing for toofee (Molesworth) and he should give up on the soul and do a bit of angry middle aged Brit stuff. I'm not bitter that he doesn't ask me to DJ any more. Ady PS Has any Weller fan heard The Bottle and are they prepared to defend it's existence?

Darrow Fletcher Infatuation Jeanette Williams All Of A Sudden Jeanette Williams Something Good's Got A Hold Of Me I actually want to buy these for my own pathetic collection and not loan them for a project like I normally do. Also I'm trying to beat Janine, J-O-T and other serial posters by putting up the longest string of rubbish postings. Yes I've finished my Renfro sleevenotes and have the unbridled carefree disposition of a grebe. Creeps

Then again Frankie and Johnny was free but as it was unknown wasn't technically worth anything. And I couldn't embarass a fellow Soul Talker off list when he's not here to defend himself. He's in the Mexican desert sipping an ice cold cerveza and getting his lovely wife to rub more Este Lauder in. Ady

Technically (because it was free) my best was the UK Atlantic Vala Regan 'Fireman' CDKEND 169 which was pinned to a ceiling in a second hand record shop in Portobello Road. I asked the geezer behind the counter if I could buy it and he said it was mine if I could get it down. Luckily I had a spare Tony Rounce with me (in his lighter period) and hoisted him up on my shoulders from where he removed the said object. Harboro' Horace

It's available on a Kent 7" for £5. Better sound quality than the original too. Ady

Is it that backing track to Marva Lee (sounds a bit like Wizzard's Sleeve if you're actually wizzarding yourself) 'If You Can't Be True'. That's an acetate he paid a few bob for off JA-SB. It is heavy on the gorgonzola organ too. I'm sure the tanned one will fill us in when he returns from the Sierra Madre or wherever it is he's gone to. Ady

If it's as bad as his version of The Bottle, he should get Rick and Bruce back and do a couple of Alarm numbers.

Give Dave the vet's drugs, his coat's dull and his nose could be wetter. I would only push a girl over in the most extreme circumstances, so it must have been in the later rounds. Ady PS You've got your usual Sun afto slot so bring yer box.

Well we've got even worse for you this year but it won't involve dancing. I'll see you at Ruggers tonight and we can work on some moves. Ady

And of course there's the time Paul Weller was round my flat in Langham Street buying the latest Northern repros and asked my girlfriend Rose to teach him how to dance Northern. After being shocked and embarassed she got him to try out a few basic steps and quickly suggested he should concentrate on singing. Ady

Well it gives a bit of a focus to the Friday night at Cleethorpes and only lasts for 3 records. There's been at least one bird winner and several notable placings. I usually get criticised for being a perv if I do pick a girl anyway! Nobody seems to mind the DJs making c***s of themselves so I don't see why you lot shouldn't do the same. A-D

Tony can't remember that one, I'm sure Mick Smith does. It doesn't sound like Levine, he wasn't noted for his sense of humour. Tony says there's an apocryphal story about Ivor Jones being given a Black & Decker sanding disc to spin at Thorne and actually doing it, but no-one including Ivor can remember the details. Ady

Not that anyone gives a damn, but I played Diplomats 'Perfect Love', Billy Wisdom 'Handwriting On The Wall' and the Triumphs 'Coming To Your Rescue'. Craig was well refreshed. And Cinders did make it to the ball which was good apart from a quagmire of a dancefloor. But after 4 nights one the razz, I was in no great shape either. Airwaves Ady
