Hi everybody, I’m researching EMI records, and wondered whether anybody on here might have Trevor Churchill's Contact details, aware he worked for EMI Uk in the later sixties. Many thanks in advance Malcolm

Do you know where in Newport 'Spot' records were pressed?

good to get some nice scans up...

Wow, 'OMW' fuzz guitar intro, courtesy of the guitarist from the 'Sheep', never knew that...

This is so sad, such a great singer, RIP Maurice Jackson.. you sure knew 'How To Pick A Winner' 🙂

Apple et al, have access to major label catalogues, in recent times companies like Kent & Numero group have got their catalogues onto these platforms, which has really diversified what you can expect to hear. That said, there is so much that we listen too, that simply won’t make its self onto streaming services, personally I'd stick with your own library of music, but you may find a mix of the two works for you. Apple are ok, but outside of general compilations, thery are thin on the rare soul side..

That works for me. That said the wood glue on vinyl trick does work very well, especially on lps, other than that soap and water every time

Think you would need a i phone to access…. best thing to do in my opinion is get your phone (I Phone or other) uploaded with a good selection of mp3 and run via Bluetooth. Maybe a silly standpoint, but I don’t want apple or Spotify deciding on what rare soul I listen to, put your own music up there… it’s cheaper for one, and you own it outright, no subscription fees

Nice to see your creative talents coming out... you get a gold starr ⭐

Southerndown Beach over the last few days, we have been so lucky, swam every night for a week...

Yeah I agree, original is best in this case me thinks...

Just got the Tony Fox LP, I know it did come out on 45, which is expensive, It's a good LP though, especially 'I Wanna Get Next to You' equally as good as 'Love Let Love'.

here you go mate, from that 'who did it first' website...

Another Auger / Driscoll (Tippets) fan, I love it... found this one, which is not really a great excursion from the original, and features Auger... collaboration more like?

Rest in Peace Carl, my respstcts to Maria and Carl's family. Good show with Carl and Richard below, from 1999.

Pm'd you

Ok, now I have it, 'Donnie Burkes - Why Don't You Smile Now'... it's a goodun.

I won’t share the title, as I can’t remember it just now, and don't have the 45 to hand, but if you have ‘Donnie Burkes - Satisfaction Guaranteed’ on Decca, flip it over, you won’t be disappointed, it’s a really good track 🙂 and I learnt this yesterday, cause I flipped it, does that still count?

I was chatting about this track with somebody, I can’t remember who, but was told the flip ‘How Can You Tell Me?’ Was the spin originally.

Here ia a few Canadian releases down Under, as some may know I collect Australian, and W&G are up there fort me. These are all via W&G and Viking Records with a few via Festival thrown in. The Regents and Contagious Sound Of The Plague are especially good, Canada Goose 'Higher & Higher' you find those all over the place in Canada... Jerry Palmers version of 'Walkin the dog' is a good one... There was an APEX (Femme) Version of Joanie Sommers - Don't Pity Me out Canada, remember tim Brown selling this one.

Try Kev Whitcombe

Always loved 'that' track, who doesnt. But 'Turn to Me' was always a special beat ballad... Rest in Peace Jerry fuller.

This is a brilliant 45, well done Yann, gonna order one straight away 🙂
