Anyone know what Richard's old Casino c/u Emanual Lasky " I know what I like " turned out to be ? Cheers ,Eddie

Does anyone on Soul Source have Dave Evison's phone no. or an e-mail address for him ? Many thanks ,Eddie

Yeah Dave was a bit of a wag wasn't he ? Remember his story about the supposed vocal to Guys from Uncle " The Spy " that he made up ? Read a report years later from someone who claimed to have actually heard it !! .In recent years Joe Boy did have it made of course .All great fun eh ? Best Wishes ,Eddie

I remember it being hard to find for a short while before Polydor repressed some copies , I remeber that story in B & S as well . Best Wishes ,Eddie

Haven't seen your web site Martin , will check it out ,Best Wishes ,Eddie

I don't remember " D- 9 " at Wigan either Grant , even though I was going regularly at the time .Don't think it took off , or I'm sure it would've got booted .I've got one now , and it's a real fave of mine , think it's Mike " God " Terry burping his Baritone sax to great effect .Best Wishes ,Eddie

Inspirations is still mega rare on original Tabs , 2 or 3 known copies ? You right about Johnny Williams , was thinking myself that this could go again . Yvonne Daniels must still be very rare ? Love to hear this out again .......Great memories tho ' Best ,Eddie That was one of Russ's , pretty modern for the time period . Best ,Eddie

Rotations Black and Ward Wayne Cochrane Danny Wagner [ However there is piece in a later issue of the mag that suggests Danny Wagner had been pressed in small quantitys though very hard to spot the difference between a real one or not ? ] Best ,Eddie

I think you mean " I'm a changed man " not " D- 9 " ? Best ,Eddie

Here's a list of 50 of the scenes most popular records taken from Dave McCadden's " Soul time " fanzine in Jan 1977 .Would be interested in folks views on the sides listed , some have remained classic plays , others have fallen by the wayside .An interesting list anyway , I think .Best Wishes ,Eddie

You're right Jordi and Pete , Little Anthony is a great record , I've just heard it toooo much in recent times !! Best ,Eddie

Yes you're right Rob , it's just that there's so many superb oldies that rarely get played these days , it amazes me that more people don't get bored by these constantly played records , I can't remember the last time I heard really well known oldies like The Poppies " Pain in my heart " or ultra soulful sides like Lou Edwards " Talkin ' bout poor folks " or Jo Armstead " I got the vibes " for instance , I know it's the DJ's job to entertain , but surely we should try and inspire them as well ? Best Wishes ,Eddie

Sho' was mate !! Best Wishes ,Eddie

The Younghearts " A Little togetherness " The Vibrations " Cause you're mine " Julian Covay " A little bit hurt " Dan Valery " You don't know where your interest lies " Little Anthony " Better use your head " All totally overplayed , don't care if I never hear these 5 again !! Best Wishes ,Eddie

It's an unissued track from a UK Chess [ deleted ] CD , the 12" is just a bootleg . Best Wishes ,Eddie

I bought an original Mikki Farrow for £8 off Soul Bowl at this time .But you're right John that it doesn't turn up for sale very often these days .Best Wishes ,Eddie

At the moment " I'll remember you " [Chi -sound ] , "Without you here " [Curtom ] " Tomorrow I may not feel the same " [Chi -sound ] and " My love " [ Brunswick ] .Brilliant artist , Blake ,so many great records ........Best ,Eddie

I know you like the deep stuff Rich , do you know Millie's " A child of god [ it's hard to believe ] " ? or a brilliant album track by Joe Simon " Crying time in Memphis " ." Fire burning " is a great dancer from the same album [ can't remember title off the top of my head !! Best Wishes ,Eddie

Some great choices there Mark ,Soul Patrol [ other side is great as well ] ,Machine [ bought a 12" of this a while back ] , Voice Box [ never hear this now ] , Gene Page [ one of the best inst . ever !! ] Great stuff ,best Eddie

I really like " Change my destiny " as well Chris , If they're good enough then play them I say , I remember asking Ian if this was one of his productions and he denied it at the time .Wish he'd been more honest , though I guess he was trying to prove the point that he could make genuine records and get them played , a good record is a good record IMO , whoever produced it and whatever year is on the label .Best Wishes ,Eddie

I'm on the dancing shots [ dark baggies , cream long sleeved shirt Jamie Oliver style hair !! [ though most of us had that style at the time ] Also walking across the dance floor in a sheepskin coat and holdall at the start of the night .Wasn't it hot that night ? The lights being on 'till 5am gave me a headache , remember buying The Moods " Rainmaker " for about £5 . Best ,Eddie

Hello Mark , some great reviews mate .I remember a friend ,Allan Lane from Oxford turning up at Wigan with a pile of original Paul Durante's when it was a massive record , some people were buying several copies !! He also had several copies of " He's not your kind " on the same logo . Having a photographic memory , I can also remember Mick Smith bringing a copy of Frank Beverly on Rouser up to the decks for Richard to play , could this be the copy he played on the 5th Ann. ? Would love to hear a copy of this tape . Best Wishes ,Eddie

I'll second that , glad to see you're out and about again Gary , pm me if you like mate ,Best ,Eddie

Can't wait Derek , one of the best fanzines returns !! Best Wishes ,Eddie
