Sounds like a really exciting release

Hi Tom ,this is the tape ,it wasn’t Rob Marriott who did the tape ,just a guy who gave it to me ( can’t recall his name ) early 90’s

James Bond Island Thailand

Patong Beach at sunset , Phuket Thailand

Incredible story ,book sounds like a proper good read

Very sad news ,last time I saw him October ‘22 with myself and Rob Moss ,had a good laugh as always .Rest in peace Tim x

Arthur Willis must be up there ?

Yes very true .I think venues like The Highland Room were first with many records ,but after records were uncovered they tended to become more mainstream

Definitely Geese ,sounds like “ Philly Dog Around The World “ was exclusive to Levine at the Mecca for a while ,Burning Bush was a Ginger special at Cleethorpes etc for a while .There are undoubtedly loads more .cheers Eddie

Really sad news Joan ,I remember Kit from Lifeline ,Radcliffe etc .Rest in peace x

Great article ,wonder if Mike Terry played on any more of their records ?

Yes loads of Chess ,Cadet etc on our local market plus lots of King ,Federal etc

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
