Steve Mancha (Clyde Wilson) did Parr Hall Warrington where he didn't sing as he didn't do any rehearsal due to the demon drink getting the better of him whilst stopping with Chris King Steve then did Casino 11 in Birmingham and was able to sing. Melvin did Prestatynn and later Cleethorpes weekender

That's a great story mate

Only in more recent years did I learn that Pat Lewis backed on Cecil Washingtons biggie

Just an obsevation, didn't Golden World studios became studio B under Motown controll after 66. The Precissions was recorded in 67? and likely to have been recorded at Terra-Sherma or United Sound. Just an observation ?

I don't actually know but a combination of several names are possible, Pat Lewis, Joyce Vincent, Andantes, Rose Batiste, even Gwen Owens, she recorded Hit and Run but never got release. I think for the most part anyone who was hanging around the studio on the day of recording, it may be documented somewhere

''Popcorn'' Wylie often used the Andantes. (there was a lot of love between he and the girls) Pat Lewis backed a huge amont of artists, both on stage and in the recording studio. She was at times a fourth member of the Andantes too. Elsie Gray of and with the Debonairs backed a fair few songs (there are people more qualified to offer exact details) Pat Lewis backed all of Isac Hayes stuff. Sandra Richardson backed some of Aretha Franklins tracks the list is endless, sadly not always documented

I have most of what you show and so nany more. The home of the Blues sadly Ieant out, never to be returned. The Soul Collector I have several, 1 and 2 shared the same cover. Don't know how many in total, think I have 4/5 issues.

So many different ones, some I have are in £ s p

I have so many of these things Oliver, ask Charles. I have doubles so I'll sort some out for you. Gilly

One in poor condition (plays ok) and one in nice condition. (neither for sale) I think it's like a poor mans Poets. Wrapped Around Your Finger. but easily as good.

Hello Kevin, been too long x

Rod, your'e not doing yourself any justice here, I think if a re-count was in order you'd have been placed 96th

What the hell is that all about ? Would like to see someone teach Mick Francis or Mick LeBrewin how to dance

I know where the greatest collection of Detroit records resides, that person I don't think has ever been to an allnighter to my knowledge

Yes, each to thier own, I do wonder at times some of those might be better off collecting stamps or baseball cards, can't see they have any emotional tie's with the music like so many I know, including me
