Tommy Tate with Dorothy Moore on backing vocals & the Imperial Show Band..........recorded in the grease pit of a garage apparently......the forerunner of the Grits n Gravy set up.....Butch's Little Jerry Williams c/up which had us all in raptures for years........ Russ

When i was promoting i have paid DJ's out of my own pocket on more than one occasion, i have booked DJ's over 10 yrs ago, that even now promoters would wince at the charges..........but guess what, i never ever once stiffed anyone. So yes, you should pay at least expenses, but fee should be negotiated when the DJ takes the booking. rUSS

Didnt think he knew who it was mate. Russ

.....very well put & I'm in full agreement. Russ

Yep, thats the baby......not sure if its legit or not, took me a while to get this few years back. Thanks mate. Russ

There is also a callboration with one of the Winans, that was a white label only which wasnt too bad in a 'dance' kinda way as mi remember from a few years back ?. Russ

Bloody hell James.......a great thought provoking post & one that challenges my thinking on this subject, i think your right in what your saying though, again enjoyed reading your thoughts on this........... Russ

Better dancer than you see at most do's these days & wouldnt look that out of place. Russ

Russ

Thank you Shaun.........very sorry to hear about the Opera House & hope all your hard work finding an alternative venue works out...... Russ

Thank you Pete, appreciate the info, good tune tho & the dancer was LP only in the US. Russ

"I'm Walking Away" was always the ender at the Uptown Down South promotions back in the 9ts, wonderful LP. Russ

I have recently bought these & wondered what i can do with them, these are the ORIGINAL artwork negatives. "MOTOWN LOST AND FOUND SERIES" PROMOTIONAL POSTER ORIGINAL 4 FILM SHEET MASTERS POSITIVE AND NEGATIVES USED TO CREATE THE POSTER FOR PRODUCTION. INCLUDES MARVIN GAYE, FOUR TOPS, SMOKEY ROBINSON, AND THE TEMPTATIONS. ORIGINAL FILM MASTERS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. ABOUT 18X24 IN SIZE 4 SHEETS TOTAL. THE COLOR POSTER IN PICTURE IS WHAT THE FILM SHEETS WILL PRODUCE. How would i go about producing the posters from these negatives ????.........any other ideas of what i can do with them ? are they valuable ? Would appreciate peoples thoughts on this random, crazy collectors purchase. Russ

So you just giving me a good ignoring to.....................or what !!!! Skanky Uk collectors........ Russ

I dont really collect British & dont know much about it, but i do have a copy of Baby Washington on UA thanks to Disco Dave & wondered how rare this was ?........great record BTW. Russ

That particular debate has raged for since well before '79 & will continue to rage for as long as there is a scene........... Russ

Difference between what ??? are there 2 releases ??? Russ

Yes Matt. Russ

Yeah, but thats a joke mate, thanks. Russ

Thanks for all your help . Best Russ
