Yes fantastic Rick ,a great double header

I bought that at Wigan on the strength of that B & S review .The magazine was a friends ,as I didn’t start buying it until ‘72,

Thanks John ,some really interesting memories there .Did you mention to The Diplomats / Skull Snaps about seeing them ,when we saw them at Cleethorpes?

Many thanks Chalky ,that’s great That’s great to see ,many thanks for your help

Ok,no worries .I think I’ll buy the book anyway .

That’s sounds like the one ,are you able to scan it ? Many thanks

Not sure if this has been mentioned,but the title of the Joni Wilson track is a very clever take on a Hertz car advert titled “Let Hertz Put You In The Drivers Seat “ .Genius from George Clinton and co …

Yes I thought that too ,one of the other “ secret sounds “ was Tommy Sears - Get Out ,which compared to the other 2 ,is still under the radar .

To be fair ,Hold Back The Night was massive at Wigan ,played by John Vincent off the new Zing album .The tune was only previously known as the instrumental Scrub Board ,from The Torch era etc

Exactly ,albums like Hard Core Poetry and Madame Butterfly are great examples of 70’s Soul at its best .

Fantastic recollections David ,yes I’ve got Keith’s book ,I must re read your stories in it .Thanks for sharing your memories ,an inspiring read .

Thanks David ,must have been fantastic to have actually witnessed those days .Did you realise how special it was at the time ? Many thanks....

Thanks Chalky and Mike ,it’s not the articles you’ve posted up ,good as they are .The search goes on , thanks for your help.

I’ve been checking here and other places ,but haven’t seen it yet John .I remember reading a friends copy years ago .

Does anyone have a copy of the B & S article where Dave Godin visits The Twisted Wheel and talks about covering records with white labels whilst on the train journey ? It’s not one of the articles already posted up .Probably circa 1970 .Many thanks .....

Thanks for the reply Graham ,look forward to the interview when you have time

Yes ,Dave Godin mentions in B & S about covering up a few records with white labels on a train trip to The Wheel ,as the punters expected some “ secret sounds “ from him .I think The Ad - Libs was one ,and Tommy Sears “ Get Out “ ( Chalet ) was another .Cheers Eddie

Hi Graham ,is the Don Davis interview you did ,posted up anywhere ? I’m sure it would be a very interesting listen .Thanks Eddie

Tempos is a definite bootleg

I remember a letter in B & S circa ‘73 complaining about it being bootlegged and the sound being muffled .

The released 45 isn’t as good a mix as the acetate ,as a key part of the record ( the chimes ) is muffled .

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
