Saw him play it sometime in '75 when he came to the Nottm Palais, he referred to it as a 'New York press' then.

Perhaps you might like to enlighten us as to who you think is more deserving Jane? I'm sure it would make interesting reading.

Crikey mate - bit of a transformation there! Horrible enduring all the mess, and even more horrible having to stump up the cash... Be well worth it in the long run though - how does Ace like his new digs then? Atb, RB

Hi Steve, I always hoped when I sold up that they would go to "good homes" - job done then! atb, RB

No worries Steve, just curious like! Sold mine about 20 years ago, so definitely a different copy!

Hi Steve, it is indeed a lovely looking label - and a lovely record too. Did you mean you owned my issue or 'a' issue - always curious about where my tunes ended up! Best, Rich B

I thought that about 2001 - but prices have gone up massively since then. So who knows where prices will end up?

Hi Steve, yes it's me. I hope,you're well? Keb must have bought 2 then, I remember the deal well. I couldn't believe he was going to give me an un-defaced Malibus demo and a wd of Rose Battiste. I thought it would be one or the other and because I hesitated he said "I suppose you'll want some cash too, is £25 alright?" Then I had to get Gary (Rushbrooke) to give me a lift home to fetch it! All the best, Rich.

Sold mine to Keb Darge in the late 80's. Malibus demo, plus a white demo of Rose Battiste "I miss my baby"/"Hit & run" and £25 in cash. Bought it for 10p many years previously, Always thought it one of my best sales!

Looks like it has been stored next to the record by the Collegians, you wouldn't expect to see that on a bootleg, so it implies originality to me.

I've got one without the proper picture sleeve - any thoughts on its value anyone?

Not wishing to be adversial in any way Baby boy, but Chalky and Speed limit are on the money this time. Firstly if you need a poster or a label to tell you you're in the right place you probably shouldn't be there. And secondly, absolutely the best thing about Stafford was that just about anything could be played, and often was. If it feels good and all that...

This was the second episode. The first programme spent more time in the states talking to the early producers like Steve 'Silk Hurley, Reese, Saunderson and Juan Atkins etc.

Hi Pete, I good and I hope you are too. I can assure you that you will never see a picture of me, post by me! I think it would breach some kind of law or rule on horrifying images before the watershed! Don't exert yourself too much on the maths, I have just celebrated my 61st... born in '57.

That's my problem right there Pete, my memories of people are like that - young! When people say hello to me these days I always end up thinking 'who's this old geezer?' And even more surprisingly, 'how the hell do they know who I am?'
