Sorry to hear this. Remember him well from time spent in Manchester and at the Casino. He was a good lad. R.l.P. Tooley

Thanks to both of you.

Very sad news. I first met Alan in the early 70s when the Jackson family spent a few years in Belper, Derbyshire and we stayed in touch, albeit sporadically in recent years. He was a top man on every level. Condolences to his family and those closest to him. RIP Alan.

Sam was the only DJ I heard play the Ruth Christie. He did play it for a while but it was never going to be a monster sound without the Casino getting behind it. I liked it and still do but had completely forgotten it ‘til l saw the list.

‘Miracle Love’ was actually Ruth Christie, ‘Mystery of a Miracle’ on Tide.

Yes, mate. Identical to yours.

That brings back memories. Had one just like it in the 70's, long since gone. Nice one.

Not the best quality photo but an original yellow and green copy:

Sad news indeed. Great lad. R.I.P.

Just out of interest, the copy that Modus have for sale came out of Prince Buster's shop on Orange Street, Kingston JA in the early 90's. I got a few Northern things out of there: Paul Sindab on Hype (I'm Uptight, unfortunately!), a Volumes on Inferno, Anthony Raye on Impact and others l can't recall. Plus loads of reggae, of course.

That's fantastic.

I believe this was one of the initial batch of acetates of this title that Simon sent over.

Dreadful news. I didn't see a lot of Nick but always enjoyed a good natter and a fair few laughs whenever we bumped into each other in Belper. As others have said - great knowledge and relentless enthusiasm for new records. Sincere condolences to the family and those closest to him.

Sorted. Thank you.

Could someone please PM me a contact number for Frank. Thanks Tim
