Here’s a few images of acetates and 45’s I took when I tracked down my late uncle’s band mate, Gary Freeman, from the early 60’s. When I visited him I took my Mac book and a portable disc player to record a 45 they made in 1965, a credible cover of James Brown’s - I’ll Go Crazy, as I’d lost the copy I had on a cassette tape. I was surprised when he produced the other 45’s.

The link to JM’s auction site which appeared on my Facebook feed today shows the auction for that 45 finishes on 20/1/21 but when you search his website it’s not there. Odd.

That’s good of him to send a kind response. When I was volunteering at Age UK I used Discogs and EBay as guides to selling prices. I was tempted to buy the Arnold Layne 45 myself as I like the early Floyd stuff. When the drummer from Belle & Sebastian saw the label scan which I had displayed in the shop window and came in to buy the 45, I happened to be working on the till at the time and it was a real pleasure to handle the sale as he was really chuffed to have found it at a fair price.

This is the copy I came across sorting and pricing the vinyl as a volunteer at Age UK in Norwich about 5 years ago. The drummer from Belle & Sebastian bought it. They were performing at a venue nearby later that day. At the time I think issues of See Emily Play and Arnold Layne were selling for about £40.00 on eBay.

The Wallace Brothers album fetched a decent figure. A copy turned up in the charity shop where I used to volunteer - I might have undervalued it!

Good - pro sounding production - Hope it does well.

Some pictures taken on walks and cycle rides near the Thames mostly at Putney where I live.

Really nice live performance from this talented songwriter who is a 6ts attendee and son of DJ Adrian Corbin.

Agree good tune. Joe Soap posted it earlier on 11/10/20 and got several likes.

Very sad news. Had the pleasure of seeing him and his group perform at The Royal Festival Hall in 2004 ( The Yardbirds we’re also on the bill ) and had a really great night. R.I.P.

Flip of I’ve Got The Need.

When I listened earlier to the Joni Wilson cut and heard the repeated lyric “All Your Goodies Are Gone”, I thought to myself that I’d seen that title before but wasn’t sure where. If it’s the flip of Don’t Be Sore At Me it makes it a double sider. Will check out the later Parliament version.

According to a comment on You Tube in relation to the Joni Wilson track, The Parliaments version is better known as All Your Goodies Are Gone. Apologies if you knew that already Ady.

Another great Ivy Jo Hunter & Mickey Stevenson tune. Two others of theirs I love are:- Tell Me Its Just A Rumour and Got To Have You Back.
