Pete S

You know I collect reggae/rocksteday whatever, it's really amazing at some of the songs they did oin the 60's and early 70's, for instance this week I've had a female version of Compared To What and a 68 reggae version of Chuck Jackson's Good Things Come To Those Who Wait! Wouldn't have thought either of those was well known enough to cover. Also got Jamaican versions of things like Walking up a one way street, Left with a broken heart, See no evil speak no evil, Get ready, etc. Just thought I'd mention it.

If you cast your mind back 2 weeks to my BRILLIANT whats the best unreleased track ever thread, it was indeed Betty Boo which I nomiated in the first posting. She was definitely one of the Adorables. Got played the same couple of weeks as Hanky Panky by Popcorn Wylie. They hit us with too many newies in too short a space of time.

Hurrah! I've been saying this for years and years and no one has ever agreed with me!!!

I don't get this. The following records were classed as Northern before anyone had associated the term R & B with this scene: I Can't Please You - Jimmy Robins I Can't Get Enough - Johnny Sayles Sweeter Than The Day Before - The Valentinos What Good Am I - Mickey Champion The Champion - Willie Mitchell The Valentinos is about as out-and-out northern as you can get. The Champion, r & b? Load of bollocks...

He does that mate, he does that...

I have decided to list over a thousand records that I have sold in the past, there is no point to this but look out for it so you can see what great records I had

Sorry, I meant yes. Well sort of. I've got a couple of records he did but no scanner.

No

Hark at the moustachio'd mexican hat man

OH and Phil Spector, he was alright

I've got an RD catalogue from about 85 - when it was like really small size but about 50 pages...you can borrow it if you want

The Coasters did a song called that...bit ancient though

Made for each other..actually that cd deck looks nice

I'm looking forward to this do on saturday

I have it on good authority and it's 100% definite that Mr Rimmer will be djing OFF CD'S at a certain gig this saturday. I shall take the camera and make sure I get evidence

Might be on a Stardust 45

You sure it didn't fit

Hang on a bit - there must be a fair few of us on here who've actually done this - I wasn't on my own at the last night of Wigan...if I were to do it again I'd keep Tobi Legend and Dean Parrish, get rid of that Godawful gerri Granger record, smash the Jimmy Radcliffe record and replace it with John & The Weirdest or Garnet Mimms Looking For You. It'd have to be Wigan, nothing to touch it since.

I'd like it to have been Blackpool Mecca and the last record The Carstairs - it really hurts me girl. No on second thoughts, I'd rather drink a pint of tramps vomit.

F*ck knows. Don't like it meself...

Greg sez...The various cuts came from a dealer in philly a few years back. i have 3 different takes, butch might own the acetate and good luck to him but nobody needs his permission. It has been played out by loads of dj's inc Guy Hennigan and others

Doesn't look as if I'm allowed to post anything until it's had clearance from Chalky :graynone:

I thought he was saying it's a slower take of the track that Butch paid huge money for???

Obviously not. I refer you to Greg's actual email Chalky -----Original Message----- From: McAllinney, Greg [mailto:gmcallinney@] Sent: 09 June 2005 16:23 To: 'pete smith' Subject: RE: barons of soul pete when you get a spare mo could you post up the Barons Of Soul on Soul-source. I have a few people asking for it on cd but i ain't got a cd burner. They can download it from SS themselves. If you ain't got time then no worries, this is the slower take (i have 3 takes) that butch paid huge money for. greg
