I MISSED THE POINT, WELL IT CONFUSED ME IN 68 WHEN I CALLED EVERY THING REGGAE, IN MY WORLD EVERY THING APART FROM AL CAPONE PHOENIX CITY GUNS OF NAVARONE EXTRA THAT WAS BLUEBEAT, I DID NOT NO WHAT WAS REGGAE, UNTIL I WAS TOLD BY RESPECTED BLACKMAN DUKE VIN SAID "THAT YOU WHITE BOYS ARE DANCING TO REGGAE THE NEW DANCE SOUND STREGAY" I REMEMBER BUYING THE HIPPY BOYS ON HIGH NOTE DR NO GO B/W SAILING AND THINKING BOTH SIDES WERE REGGAE I MISS BEING 16 TELL YOUR MAN WE DONT WANT LECTURES ABOUT WHATS WHAT UNLESS HE IS BLACK MY AGE OR OLDER AND COMES FROM "JA" AND WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM I HAVE JUST PLAYED AT 1.45am BARRY BIGS WORK ALL DAY a b LEE PRODUCTION ON DYNAMICS, I BET HE DOES NOT EVEN NO THERE ARE 6 VERSIONS OF THIS MID 7ts CLASSIC HE WOULD CALL IT WHAT LOVERS ROCK? DO ME A FAVOUR HE MAY BE A GOOD GEEZER I DONT NO? DAVE KIL PS I JUST PLAYED BEFORE THAT "LOOK INTO THE EYES OF A FOOL" BY DARRAL BANKS, DOES THIS EVER GET PLAYED ANYMORE?

Hi my memories are first why have i traveled 150 miles to go to Crewe until you went in, then it all become green & cleare! Alan Day the records & atmospheare the poeple who were there in late 72 into 73 amazing, however you realy need to speak to the regulars who went? DAVE KIL

Hi all sadly my most valued piece of WIGAN memorabilia was a slice of birthday cake from the 1st anniversary All niter, had it for years until I left the North Herts and moved to Wolves this is true and will be verified by any one who attended the CASINO that night, it was on the right hand side of the lower bar is that a rare one? DAVE KIL

HI M8T THE WAGON & HORSES IN THE CELLER? I REMEMBER AND I CANT THINK WHO AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME PLAYING "CHICK JACKSON-WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO" A REAL WOLVES SPIN FROM THE CATS MEMORIES DAVE KIL

Hi Pete what would manship rate this genuine and i am not f**king about EMI Disc i found many years ago in London B side is blank thats how you can tell if you did not know such things but i no you do!!PS I HAVE ADDED THE FLUFF ARTICLE AS IT REALY BELONGS HERE, DONT YOU THINK? DAVE KIL

Hi Pete whats all the fuss I think this is a good tune? what bothers me what label did this come out on or was it on a couple of LPs Sir Collins Spinning Wheel pink label? comes to mind so does the Montego Bay LP? as for UK reggae well some of my favs like mister LA all hail from London DAVE KIL

GETTING PAID BY PEP & HELEN???? I FOUND THE VENUE THEY JUST TOOK OVER, LIKE THEY DO IS THIS SLANDER I DONT THINK SO DAVE KIL

TO ALL THE BROS & SISTERS WHO WENT TO THE BLACK HORSE, THOMSON AVE WOLVERHAMPTON IN THE LATE 8ts EARLY 9ts SADLY IT WAS DEMOLISHED YESTERDAY & TODAY GOOD TIMES GONE FOREVER DAVE KIL

I AGREE THAT IT IS SPECULITIVE? & THE ABBY ROAD LINK WELL MOST RECORDINGS MADE IN THE UK WERE MADE IN MADER VALE, TO ME ITS HOW THE ARTICLE WRITTEN THAT MAKES ME WONDER, A COLLECTOR OF US PRODUCT WOULD NO WHICH CAME FIRST DAVE KIL

THE OFF CENTRE YOU REFER TO IS JUST THE HAUNTING BACKGROUND VOCALS TO THE RECORD, INDEED THE DTUDIO 1 COPY IS THE SAME IF YOU HERE THIS TUNE PLAYED THROUGH A SOUND SYSTEM YOU WILL RATE IT 150% MORE, GREAT TUNE DAVE KIL

GEAT MINDS ITS AMAZING DAVE KIL

On reading this article a few years back it strongly suggest to me that both tunes were recorded in London Abby Road what do you think? is this great record A UK produced sound? this could explain why there is a few UK versions all on the EMI group of labels..Please make a comment as the Drifter article has proved it to be one of the all time soul record DAVE KIL

I ink it was last week? Pete Smith pointed out that some spurious dealer with no feedback was selling Jackie Opal "old rocking chair" on EBay with £ 150 start, however rare that tune is to me the one to have is "i don,t want her" :- most of Jackie's output is very collectible with today's in crowd and most tunes are Very rare these days. My favourite by far is RIO 120 B / the official A "rudie get wise" is a classic in its own right! but this side has always in my humble opinion the very best of JAMACAN R&B and as such I rate the value more than the "old rocking chair" what do you think. there is a CD with all his rare tunes on it called "Jackie Opal & co - "I don,t want her" a must if you want to here the great man with all his rare stuff on it DAVE KIL

JUST PLAYED THIS GREAT OLDIE & NOTICED IT IS 40 YEARS OLD THIS WEEK? SO DIG IT OUT FOR A DESERVED PLAY MISTER DJ DAVE KIL

THIS IS A VERY COLLECTABLE SINGLE THESE DAYS, AS YOU ARE AWARE IT HAS AN EX A SIDE BUT THE B SIDE IS JUST AS GOOD, ON THE FUNK SCENE A DEMO £20 HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS MORE LIKE £50 AS I SAY ON THE FUNK/BLACK SOUL SCENE DAVE KIL

CHEERS FOR THAT, IN THE BOOK I HAVE OF HIS RARE UK SINGLES HIS LIST STARTS AT OOTP 5, CLEARLY THIS IS NUMBER 1, EVERYONE OVER THE YEARS I HAVE HAD IT WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS ONES EXISTANCE? HOWEVER ITS THE SAME LABEL AS CARL DOUGLAS ALSO IT SHOULD BE PIONTED OUT THAT THE SHOOTONG STAR LABEL NUMBERS ARE IN FACT :-ISC 1 A & THE WHITE LABLE ARE OOTP -37 IN THE CASE OF THE KELLY BROTHERS-LOVE TIME, AS SUCH THEY ARE DIFFERANT IN 2 WAYS / OR 4WAYS IF YOU COUNT THE COLOR CHANGES ON THE INTERNATIONAL SOUL CLUB RELEASES, FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE BEN AIKEN ON BLUE & A DARK GREEN ONE, I FOR ONE WHO BOGHT THESE RECORDS AS THEY COME OUT WOULD LIKE A COMPREHENSIVE LISTING, AS IT WAS THESE RECORDS THAT WERE IN MY COLLECTION IN THE EARLY DAYS AND I LOOK BACK ON THE WITH GREAT FONDNESS DAVE KIL

Hi Pete as a UK collector I know you have had a UK demo of this.( IT LOOKS LIKE ROCKING HORES SHIT WOULD I BE CORRECT IN THIS ASUPTION) DAVE KIL

Hi ALL I THOUGHT I WOULD OPEN THIS UP AGAIN? THIS IS OOTP No1 WHAT ARE THE MISSING 3 BEFORE OOTP 5 ?? ALSO THE OFF GREEN COLOUR ON THE TARPON LABEL IS THE FIRST ISSUE AS IT IS THE SAME AS THE DEMO DAVE KIL

HI HOW MANY OF THESE HAVE YOU SEEN? ITS A REAL RARE DEMO DAVE KIL

A BIG THANKS TO ALL I have had 8 members contact me about them. as I have said I rarely sell anything these days with a few exceptions to keen UK collectors only, I do have doubles of stuff, but more commen is that in some cases its a DEMO & A STOCK COPY, THESE RCA RECORDS WERE GIVEN TO ME BY A VERY GOOD FREIND AND AS SUCH CONSTITUTE A PART OF MY WIGAN STUFF, NOT AS PART OF MY RECORD COLLECTION HOWEVER if you do collect rare UK records as well as US, I Strongly suggest you contact :- MJ Records over the years I have been collecting they have always aimed to please at good prices or speak to Mick Smith the next time you see him, FORGET THE REST MJ RECORDS ARE THE BEST :- Tell him Dave Kilworth says so as I have bought records from Mick for 38 years now, Jesus Christ nearly 40 years of rare soul nice nice nice DAVE KIL

Nice One I must get out more-cheers for the info DAVE KIL

How strange I played this record 2 nights(pun) ago?really it,s true, I have had my copy for years it was played at both Blockpool Mecca & the Ritz around 76/7, it is a good tune, my copy is on orange Little Star LS 1577 I always thought it was a boot but its not. A great record by the KNIGHTS properly not the same group as the fist band are West coast, this group is from the Windy City with a brilliant record on USA records called..I,ve Got A Feeling B/W Forgive Me..USA Records-800 not cheap but well worth having. And yes I do have some fine US stuff its not all about the UK releases DAVE KIL. Paul for some reason this site would not let me reply to your message so I will Email you tomorrow if that's OK wid ya mon

NICE ONE I HAVE BEEN REARANGEING MY COLLECTION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10YEARS AND YOU DO FORGET WHAT YOU GOT I THINK PETES VALUATION IS SPOT ON HOWEVER THE BILLY PROPHET BOOT COULD BE A LTTLE EARNER THESE DAYS, THE CAMEO PARKWAY ISSUE WOULD LOOK GOOD IN MY COLLECTION AS I ONLY HAVE A DEMO, IF ITS FOR SALE £30 IS MY PRICE CONTACT ME AS I CANT SEE THE CONDITION OF IT DAVE KIL

As so many years have past I am sure it was played at the end of the night at the Torch or was it the first record? no that will come to me it was at the end However if you see a London demo DAVE says buy buy buy as it is a very rare record DAVE KIL
