Soul Sam Super Star
True story. One night back in 1982, a few of us went to The Vic in Wolverhampton and we parked across the road in a little car park off a side street by the Prince Albert pub. Anyway Sam was the guest DJ. After a good night out, we went back to get in the car, and it wouldn't start - we'd run out of petrol. So the driver, bloke named Andy, said the only thing we could do was to syphon some petrol out of one of the 3 or 4 other cars left on the car park. He chose what I think was a green cavalier, nicked the petrol and our car started first time. Just as we were about to set off, Sam comes into the car park, so we have a little chat and then he says he'll see us again, and gets into his car...a green cavalier. Oh shit, we'd nicked Sam's petrol and he'd got a long way to go home. So Andy says to him, Sam you ought to check your petrol, apparently there's been a gang going round syphoning it, so he does and lo and behold, he's got no petrol. Andy then told him that he would give him half of his petrol so he could at least get to a garage. And so Andy emptied most of the tank back into where it had originally come from and Sam got off safely. As we were pulling out of Wolverhampton, we got stopped by the police for having no lights on, and this Andy failed a breath test and me and the two other people had to walk home. Those were the days.

I think one went on ebay for about 120 quid last year. The other side is also great, I'm So Proud (the Impressions track) vocal version by Joe White. The vocal version to Way Of Life is one I'm after, I'd pay a ton for it, it's also on Blue Cat

Dj Alias - Who Was First
Two different Hectors then one was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand and the first to do time and the first of the gang to die, I think.

The first Velvet Underground & Nico album apart from the last 2 tracks on side 2, is the best album of the 60's. Just in my opinon.

Dj Alias - Who Was First
If he's the guy who used to DJ as hector (this is before my time slightly) his real surname was heathcote and there was a kids tv show in the 60's called hector heathcote, so thats where that came from

No not a great version. Madness covered that a year or so again on that covers album they did, they thought Audrey was the original, they'd never heard of the Barbara Lynn version!

Remember the great version of this on Downtown by ??? Gene Rondo??? Was on the Red Red Wine lp. I prefer that to this one, Studio One stuff does my head in after a while, well post 67 does

It's the Tyrannosaurus Rex ones you need, but with the promo only picture sleeves, I think there's three of them, £500+ each.

Anyone Got A Spare Mamie Lee
In the late 70's, the issue copies of this were as common as Spyder Turner or Kim Weston, around here anyway. The all of a sudden - they disappeared!

It's a great track but I personally don't think it's worth more than £30.

That's great! Monty Morris was a brilliant singer. That was produced by George Murphy so that explain the Tennors credit, the Jamaican label was called Tennors! This one came out on UK Jackpot as well apparently. Whats the b side like?
