What’s the most you’ve paid for a record
Yes it is, don't have it anymore sadly and still only one of four copies ever to my knowledge, I think the currant owners are like you say Ted, and im sure Ginger, Mick Smith and maybe Tim Brown retained my old copy but not sure. If anyone wants to talk about what is rare, well this is rare 4 copies and its stood the test of time

Consider telling more stories Tim, you did it and discovered more records than Roy Castle. Things need to be documented (facts) before loose inaccurate words become the so called facts. Your experience is a gold mine. Remember you met one half of Detroit and I met the other half but away from that you did so, so much more. Its not only their legacy it's yours too. Gilly

Oh dear
Yes as you say, years ago (everyone) wanted to be a DJ. Now (everyone) wants to promote, it sure gives you a chance to DJ if you run it and further more if you can team up with another promoter you can DJ at his and he can DJ at yours. What more could you want, I will tell you, some punters wouldn't go a miss.

Top Dancers Early Casino Days & Other Venues
Wow, I posted that in 2009, thanks for replying, I first met her when she was about 14/15 yrs old, her grandmother lived in my old village of Willington, Derby's and how bizarre is this about an hour ago I was going through some old photos for my forth coming book and sure enough the last photo in the biscuit tin is Janey. I've not seen her since the times you speak of. Did hear she married a non Soul fan and that was that. Where are you from btw

Dave Godin / Mick Jagger
Dave Godin said to me that he (Godin) was having a meal in a restaurant in Paris with Marvin Gaye when Mick Jagger asked Dave to introduce him to Marvin, Dave told him to fuck off and do your own introductions. Dave also said the reason Mick Jagger got on in life is because Micks dad was big at the BBC
