Hiya , think the George Jackson on Mercury is a different guy to the Fame one .Think the Mercury 45 is about £300 and brilliant ....Danny Cobus is an unissued Dave Hamilton production from Detroit .It gained release on the CD Dave Hamilton's Detroit Dancers Volume 2 .Hope this info helps and you are ok ,Best wishes ,Eddie

Maybe thats a kosher track then , I do know it appeared at the same time as the other tracks so was roped in with them , can anyone confirm ? Best,Eddie

Was it called " There is a heart " ? There was the vocal to " Rhino " - " Dreaming up a world of fantasy " and the vocal to " My Little Girl " - " My Sugar Baby " - Shirlie Matthews [ that wasn't bad as far as I remember ] , and the vocal to " Double Cookin ' " .I remember getting a list from Simon at the time 76- 77 ? Still got it somewhere ......Best,Eddie

Thats really sad news Dave , his album on Vando would rate in my all time top 5 albums ever - Van McCoy magic at his best - " Sittin ' pretty " is a fave track from a brilliant set .Best,Eddie

What a legend , wrote Theresa Lindsey's " It's love " [ Correc tone ] and produced The Vonettes " Touch my Heart " [ Cobblestone ] and a million others .If only someone had interviewed him at the time ......The Chris Bartley and Spellbinders albums must be up there with the best Northern / Sweet Soul sets ever .......Best,Eddie

Hi Chalky , it's No. 10 [ 1989 ] with Roy Lee Johnson on the cover .Best wishes ,Eddie

Thats correct , he did several different new vocals to Northern classics at the time , Double Cookin' , Rhino , My Little Girl etc ...Best,Eddie

Hi guys , was browsing through some old "Voices " mags this week , and found this article on the Shotts nighters .Hope you can read it ok ....Although I wasn't lucky enough to attend at the time [ young family etc ] my old mate Rob Marriott used to rave about the scene in Scotland at the time .Best,Eddie

Is the top side same as Billy Butler on Okeh , sounds like it to me ? Best,Eddie

Ignore what I just wrote Ady , my flip is More Love , sorry , think the Never my love copy is a rarer issue isn't it ? Best,Eddie

I've got it Ady , and will loan it to you .Flip of Letter to vietnam isn't it ? Will go and check condition , but think it's pretty good .Best ,Eddie

Thats a sad sight , what a top venue that was , so influential at the time , lot of the sounds broken there still popular now .....Best,Eddie

Yes that's right Tabs , and we taped it on a small cassette player as well , who would have thought we'd still be digging the scene eh ?

YEAH , you and me in the record bar Tabs , heading for that box of Okeh WD's ........Best,Eddie

Here's one of me in the garden , prior to catching the train to Wigan [ probably 75 / 76 ? ] Best ,Eddie

Hi Steve ,I used to have that William Howard , can't remember what it sounds like now to be honest , the one thats doing it for me at the moment is The Voicemasters - Dance right into my heart [ Bamboo ] .Keep singing the chorus all day long !! Best,Eddie

Used to buy the new releases from Graham , and the Northern sides from Steve Glover and Jan in Soul Galore .The shop next door used to give you discount off their clothes and shoes if you bought from Steve .Remember buying Jean Carn - If you wanna go back and Ruby Andrews - I got a bone to pick with you off Graham as new imports, though I must have missed loads of crossover / 70's sides which I'd love to own now ....Best,Eddie

Originals is on the " Portrait of " album , Spinners is on " From the vaults " various artists LP .Both deleted but can be found if you look hard enough .Best ,Eddie

Yeah you're right Steve , and Val , that intro is just brilliant isn't it ? Best ,Eddie

Big early 100 club record Mike , Best,Eddie

It means everything to me , a 38 year addiction and love affair that will never grow cold .I feel truly blessed that this music found me , what would I have done ? To still be involved in a music scene such as ours at the age of 52 is a brilliant feeling. If such a thing had been suggested to me in the 80's I wouldn't have believed it .And just when you think you've heard every record that's ever gonna blow your mind - another little gem comes over the hill side ........Best,Eddie

Loads of em ' Ion , how about Our Day Is Here , by JP Robinson , or Just Remember Me - Creations on Globe ? Best,Eddie

Hi Cliff , Brand new start is fantastic Deep isn't it , this is in a very funky vein , but it's got something I think .Let me know what you reckon ? Best,Eddie

Shake your thing - Winfield Parker [ Arctic ] , whats folks opinions of this ? Was thinking of playing it out ......Best,Eddie

Hi John , it has been reissued , just in case you don't mind ? Best ,Eddie
