Eddie Hubbard

I remember at least 20 copies of The Showmen on our local market Mick

4862 Parker St ,Detroit ,former home of Hib Records

The site of Golden World Studios in Detroit ,3246 West Davison .

Former Love N ‘ Comfort Studios Detroit ,Clay McMurray’s recording base

This Stairsteps album is great if you collect LP’s as well as 45’s ….

Looks great Sean ,both the singles and the CD .Ady has been playing The Marvellos “ It’s Your Love “ to huge acclaim at The 100 Club recently .Cheers Eddie

Didn’t you play “ Crook His Little Finger “ at The 100 Club recently Butch ? I thought it was Ann Heywood at the time .Cheers Eddie

Sorry Graham ,I tried to delete my post as I thought Reg Bartlette had sold his collection to Martin Koppell ,but I then remembered it was another American collector with the 2nd copy of Frank Wilson .Thanks Eddie

Yes you could be right Chalky ,I know Colin Curtis covered for Richard once while he was holiday bound ,thanks

The above is a Wigan time line I did recently after speaking to various people including John Vincent .There may be more DJ’s that only played a few times or once ,like Levine ,Arthur Fenn and Simon Soussan who only DJ’d once .This timeline is for the main room only .Feel free to add more info ,cheers Eddie

I wonder why they changed to the green sleeves ? Cheers Eddie

With Paul Riser at Hitsville USA …

I think it looks awful , really glad I went before this makeover with Rob Moss ,Paul Riser ,Dennis Coffey ,and Ed Wolfrum .Unbelievable really .....

Thanks Mick ,I didn’t realise that .Cheers Eddie

I think the same John ,a similar example is the UK release of Little Jerry Williams - Baby You’re My Everything on Cameo Parkway which stops at the end ,where as the USA Calla release fades at the end .Cheers Eddie

Here it is ,I believe this was the first version played on the scene if the early photo of Russ ,Richard and Kev Roberts is anything to go by with one of them holding the album .Cheers Eddie

Yes it is

Might be worth asking Paul Mooney ,or maybe Garry Cape .Hope you are keeping well ,regards Eddie

Yes it’s a re recording

It’s the Gloria Barnes LP version

Well done Mike ,for all the effort you put in to make SS what it is ,and the contributors for the incredible information added over 25 years ....

Yes I got “ This Old Heart Of Mine “ and “ Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart “ from Karaoke CDs

I think a lot of this material had been lifted from various sources .
