Kell Osborne passes on
I heard overnight from Arthur Wright that Kell died on Sunday morning in hospital. He had been there for a week and developed complications which he finally succumbed to. It was ill health that prevented his appearance at Cleethorpes a couple of years ago when Chalky helped me to arrange a visit to sing to his fans. His heart would have loved to sing for us but sadly his health wasn't up to it.

Valaquons On Ray-Co, Cry Baby Custis Or Adolph Jacobs On Romark
Thanks again Bob. I think Kent was involved in the Debra Dion 45 on Sue too.

It does seem to be incredibly hard Bob. Do you know much about them? The Valaquons will be very handy, thanks Ady

Ian Levine 3 Hour Podcast Solid Soul Sensations
Two singles on Decca, one came out on Parrot as Fearns Foundry, that was the second Decca single which I guess is on the Podcast. Under the proper name of Fearn's Brass Foundry they cut that and Don't Change It which I put on a Kent UK soul LP especially so I could mention my local in the sleevenotes

Ben E. King - Views On His Career, Photos, Picture Sleeves?
i think it was because it was discovered to be on a rare UK pressing which drew attention to how good it was. It had been neglected on Atco before that. Ady

Spot on Tim, lovely song and performance let's hope the sound recording doesn't have the pillow talk on it. Ady

Willie Que - I Woke Up Smilin - Dumas
The Dumas 1208 is titled Love Hides All Faults and Little Arthur is probably Arthur Wright (I'll find out for defo) as he wrote the flip. For a label with about nine 1964 releases I'm surprised none seem to be in the price guides. Ady

Westbound - The Magictones - Happy Days
I'm rather interested in who the first listed producers Paul and Doc were. Surely not Armen and Bernie who are listed on the second label, perhaps writers and possibly? group members Stephenson & Willis who are listed on the second label. Recorded in Canada too eh (and only Happy Days and presumably Trying Real Hard and not I've Changed), anyone know about that?

Special Guests - 100 Club Northern Allnighter - Jan 28th
Quite recent, he has done the odd gig every couple of years but this is the first since he has really started collecting new sounds to him (and many to us), he played me a couple down the phone and they sounded great, I know he 'll keep an eye on the floor too of course and has plenty of class better known things too, so it was a bit of a no-brainer. It has the added newsworthyness of it being a big plus. Get yourself down there, it'll be nice to see you in happier circs than when we last met. Ady
