I remember Robbo getting it and its not what it says on the label got to be a big band the brass is off the wall sounds like they are competing with each other and a wild piano in the background. Does the Bruce Channel disc say anymore? ATB Steve

Can't imagine much in radio stations here,remember Mick Smith selling records with Redifussion stamped on 'em from a radio station in Singapore. ATB Steve

Nice clip that MB,mind you had better be enthusiastic sharing the stage with Jocelyn who can warble a bit herself. I'd like to add Mica Paris to the list too here she is with a modern soul anthem ATB Steve

Just checked Ady there's 5 Unique Blend's "Yes I'm in Love"is the pick of 'em, got 1 on pre-order and looking forward to hearing it. ATB Steve

Just dug out The Westbound Sound of Detroit a cd I got from Goldmine in Manchester in '94 only 2 of the tracks appear on this and most of the rest on here is filler IMHO but the last track is called "When I'm Back on my Feet" and the artist is unknown did anyone find out who it is? Its quite good. ATB Steve.

Agreed Bri, Ady's usually on the money. ATB Steve

Just tipped off about this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Westbound-Detroit-Northern-Various-Artist/dp/B0030BEU6G/ref=dp_return_2?ie=UTF8&n=229816&s=music#productPromotions something for the new year.Most of the tracks new to me but a different version of "I'm Slowly Moulding" by the Magictones is interesting. ATB Steve

A really nice thing to do Simon,theres the other side of the coin just seen a ad on tv for some company called Quick Quid.Which moron thought it was a good idea to let some Shylock advertise at this time of year beggars belief.So well done Simon theres hope yet. ATB Steve

Heard a lot about Bowkers in Manchester over the years,believe Richard frequented the place amongst others.Used to walk past it every day in my schooldays,also John Hillel was trawling the states in the early 70's with a mate called Eddie,told me they split up to cover more ground and Eddie got word about some guy in the Dallas area,tracks him down and sure enough the guy has a garage stacked with boxes but the guy is camp as Millets its getting dark would Eddie stay the night and check them out in the day,what would you do!!! he stayed and came away with a pile of 45's did'nt say what it cost him though.
