Just had a look at popsike as well. Bloody WDJ like london cabs! Oh well. Still think I have seen far more issues over time. Up till today that is!! Lol!

I think the demo is rarer. Seem loads of issues but only my demo and Hammies back in the 70,s. Just my view. Comparable costings as far as I recall.

Yes released on both. Had issue upgraded to a demo. BUT an 8 track wow!

Please pass on my sincere thoughts. Did,nt know him but felt I did.

Well done Rod!

No sadly forced to miss. Mate Ged was sulking after going to watch Stockport County get relegated and Julian B was away. So Billy no mates and cos of my operation last Aug not yet fully mobile and driving is an arse. Good set sad I missed it. My sort of stuff.

Really peed off I could not make it. Ged was sulking after County got relegated, Julian B was away and I am not yet fit enough to drive that far. Top stuff apart from G Lemons which is dreadful IMO.

Morning Guys being an ex Bedford soul man I knew Chantel along with Dave and Ann Chase back in the 70,s. Told Andy I would be there BUT my own health recovery is a bit of a downer. Looking forward to seeing everyone.Along with my sister,brother and close friends. Good work Andy and Hammie. Steve Foran

Was thinking of Alan yesterday as his beloved City won. Top man!

Just like to add my sincere thoughts. Any who know me know how much I adore the tune. Fantastic footage. Big lump in the throat. RIP Mel.

Barry I think I have seen it all now!

Has Al Dlory Right on had a mention? Always thought John Vincent had cornered the market in instrumentals.

Personally would prefer a Palmer copy.

Levines stuff was played at WC. Clearly recall LJ Johnson, Barbera Pennington etc. Exciters from memory.

Thats good of you to say so. I always enjoy a night out love to see people dancing and singing along. Good night and great company. Even Rod Shard was there.

I must say that I love Bobby Thurston Just ask me or Will Collins Anything I can do as much as say Mel Britt,Yvonne Baker etc. RS used to introduce real quality into his playlist from all genres/years in the latter days of WC. I STILL get a buzz when I go somewhere and hear something I dont know. I am not really keen on the RnB stuff nor some crossover. Crossover seems to fit into a tag where it aint new/mordern or good 60,s. I have just been given a CD from USA made late last year with various covers plus one or two new things. Outstanding in my view. On thread I feel that anything goes if it is good enough. BUT like Pete Smith we all have our favourites.

Cheers Julian. See you soon.

2 more Teddy Be Sure Maze The look in your eyes.

That makes sense to me.

Well John Manship turned up that batch of Shrine stuff just recently so I guess that there may well be more Billy Woods lurking.

Stevie Wonder If you really loved me Areatha Until you come back to me. ( check out Youtube her and Stevie singing it WOW) Jackie Wilson Sweetest Feeling Harold Melvin Love I lost Isleys Harvest for the world AND Doobies Bros What a fool believes ( IF YOU CAN ACCEPT IT GUYS)

Top set matey.

Thank You very much missed Christine Cooper Heartaches Away off my list. Sorry!

I guess I am the lucky one. Bought it for about £55 from memory back in about 1980. Top top tune. Always reminded me of WC the long hot summer of 76, light starting to break through as dawn approached. La la etc. Then sold it to Dave Raistrick with a load of other stuff in mid 80,s. Managed to re buy it from a friend who got it from another friend. The owner was having a bad time on chemicals and this, The Salvadors, The Martels and a couple of others were under the bed in a cardboard box. Condition not great BUT got it back in about 96/97 maybe. Not for sale. Even missing on Van McCoys discog. It is listed but no picture. Still would like to know how many there are. I know 1 turned up after the original find by JA as Carl Willingham got it. BUT how many are there around I wonder.
