Was talking with a few more of Al's friends over the weekend. Sadly missed big fella. Regards, Dave

Not sure if this young lady has been highlighted on SS yet but here's a video of her performance of the Johnny Brantley produced classic. Not quite sure if it's different enough in tempo and style to really make the song her own or not. She can certainly sing but for a first outing should she maybe have chosen a new song? Thought it might be of interest to members... Lucinda Slim Video Regards Dave PS. Not sure what's happening with the 'quote thing'

Good Luck to the Malta Soul Club. Hope you go from strength to strength! Regards, Dave

Good call BG. Better safe than sorry. Regards, Dave

And a great group photo! Kinda puts you in the era eh? Sleep well Mr Lewis. Regards, Dave]

We're all getting a little to old for it all now. We should cash in now before it all disappears. Go get your old dusty vinyl stuff and start floggin' it off before you lose out completely. Take your mrs on that world cruise, or buy that Aston Martin you always fancied before they take yer licence off you. You KNOW it makes sense! Regards, Dave

I guess as society changes so do 'protocols' in all walks of life. Certainly the 'permathrust' style of promoting events is a mix of b'llshyte and bluster but most see through all that I'd wager. I still believe the best Recruiting Sgt is 'word of mouth' and that a decent reputation, a 'fair' and balanced ethos in terms of DJ line ups, venue and pricing is a good foundation. Regards, Dave

Love it or loathe it this might be of interest to members. One or to 'eh??' comments in there but I guess the cliche's are what makes for good publicity. Good to see the rewards though for someone who 'went for it' ratyer than sit around waiting for some one else to do it eh?. Regards, Dave Link to Feature

Carver with a copy label. Regards, Dave

This kinda palarva has always gone on. Another irritation is when the prices are so blatantly ridiculous that you know the seller isn't actually selling. Sad innit? Regards, Dave

This 700 page homage to the Philly Sound in it;s entirety is about to hit the bookshelves in a couple of weeks too! Regards, Dave

I'll turn the light off when it's done as I plan to be the last man standing. Regards, Dave

I'm looking for a WDJ (Map Design, Styrene Press) of: Supremes - Nothing But Heartaches If you can hep? Regards, Dave

Nice one Mark! Regards, Dave

Gilly, I think this question will run for a while yet. Any photo of Mr Browner mate? Regards, Dave

Chalky's right. Weldon was a very keen photographer and took tens of thousands of photos. He was rarely seen without a camera. He didn't have any info reference the provenance about the Detroit Sequins though. I guess it's one of those mysteries that will be lost in the sands of time. What shame that Barney Browner passed with less than even a passing interest in his legacy. Everyone I've spoken to that worked with him were always impressed with his talents. Wish I'd got to meet the man. Regards, Dave

Thought this might be of interest to some members. Rubble Kings trailer link Regards, Dave

Kev, Top man! I Sir, am very much obliged. Many thanks. Regards, Dave

Guys, Has anyone a good quality scan of Frankie Beverly on a Sassy stock issue they could send me please? Either here or at hitsville2648@earthlink.net would be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Dave

Kal Mann and Dave Appell built the biggest independent record company in the US at the time by inventing dance crazes. Regards, Dave

Here's another possession I'd never part with. At the end of this lunch, Deon agreed to appear in UK but then had a change of heart. He passed away without really understanding just how revered he was by his UK fans. Regards, Dave

Rob, I'm presuming you have a copy of Deon's promo photo? (with the globe). regards, Dave

Over the years I've amassed quite a bit of autographed bits and bobs. Not too big a fan of writing on record labels to be honest but when Jerry Butler signed my Mercury Demo LP I took the 'emotional hit'. It was The Iceman after all! I guess because of my love of all things Harthon and DynoDynamics, my prized possession is this: A Larry Clinton in a Jamie/Guyden Birth sleeve, signed by the late Weldon A McDougal III. So... anyone want to share any nice bits and bobs with the rest of us? regards, Dave
