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.

Its rather good isn't it.Thanks

My Indian work mate dropped something on his foot finger

Its one less than my mate has having had a big row with a big iron bar,nine pints please barman

Rockmasters Raining Teardrops I think the whole song is mental but from 1:28 sec he kicks off big time until the end singing mainly on the up I think hes gone mental I know I do when I hear it.Find its a great way to get in the mood for a days work

The Dynamics on Dyna at the end of the song the guy sings "just ask the lonely " twice but on the second time( as a lot of black singers do) pronounces the word "ask" as "axe" I fuckin love-it

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

How so heart breaking always loved his songs and always hoped he would make it to the uk,now having seen the clip Ady has put up here just see what we have missed how good is that footage with tears in my eyes well "That's What You Do To Me" Glad your music has been part of my life Thankyou Sir

Yes got this on video?dvd of the great woman herself doing it

Yes and that bloke called "popcorn" also wrote my name on the label

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

It came from one of the London boys but cant remember who,just noticed the guy that bought it from me my dear friend Mick Holdsworth

Hi if yours is the copy with return to BBC library stamped on it in purple in then that's my old 45 maybe

What price would a Queen of Fools ISSUE command uk

Check this one out,Freddie Butler Im not afraid Samo around 2m40sec listen to the strings drop down 3 notes after he sings not afraid,its just so sweet

If I remember the pressing label was very off centre,as of a few of the Carnival songs were repeated and updated (production)

Kev John is correct never put out as white demo,first release were in red and white and later all red,btw the red/whites is a lot harder to get than a lot of this great labels releases

Im upstairs painting the bathroom door (with no telly)

Sure it was an Alan Day discovery around the time of Up the junction Crewe
