Bob Abrahamian R.i.p
What I liked about Bob was that he interviewed the real and everyday person involved in the music business that never quite made the big time,and for those people who have a deep interest in the music we love he did us proud,so thanks for that Bob.On a little more personal note I have never met Bob but used to message him about things,a few years ago I asked him a real bizzar question with good intent and thought he will never answer this crazy request but he did,he took time out for me over nothing I guess.Only hope now with utter respect for the loss that someone will not replace Bob (that will be impossible) but can continue the legacy that this great man started. Be at peace now Bob no dought your already looking out for those singers who went to heaven before yourself sir.

Ever Had A Record Eaten?
One night at a Coalville nighter many years ago and being less than normal I chomped on a Golden World 45 (cant remember which one) thus cutting my mouth I also used to break pint glasses on my head (not at nighters) at some stage in life I tried to grow up a little,all good fun

Is This The Most Expensive U.k Soul Single
Its the only issue ive ever seen but there are more knowledgeable people than myself,ive seen several demos and I have to say with the QOF issue being just like the Susie Thompson Paper Tigers visually the demo does look a lot better.As for the demand on that song maybe not anymore I cant think of that many collectors these days (uk) and the ones I know have pretty much everything going if not a QOF issue
