Don Gardner went for I think 20 or 26k recently, private sale. I've seen more Eddie Parkers than William Powell. It sold for £5.7 in 2023 and £5 over 10 years ago.

A tape from Iain Rollo from we know not where. Some old records from the Dj for the time so one guess is probably/possibly Mr M's, I'd doubt it was the main room at Wigan but who knows. If anyone can shed some light on it that would be great. Great thunderous "clap" during the Eddie Parker track at the beginning.

if two are still bidding the auction will run over... From the site To avoid any last minute bid sniping, and allow other bidders to respond, the system will automatically extent the auction end time on any last second bids by 3 minutes. Any additional bids will extend the auction by a further 3 minutes until no further bids are placed. At this point the system will close the auction automatically.

More live recordings from Iain Rollo. This time we have Soul Sam, we thought at The Aberdeen Music Hall 78-79 but he never apparently Djed there nor at Clouds so unlikely to be in Scotland as thought. The record quality is fine but the Djing in-between is barely audible, you can make out it is Sam though I think.

Another tape courtesy of Iain Rollo recorded at Wigan Casino. Not sure of the date nor the room. If anyone can help with either and the Dj(s) that would be great.

The earlier ones fetch a bit of money understandably. Where do yours start numbers wise?

If I remember rightly I wasn’t overly impressed with his first book? Thought a bit light, especially on juicy bits given his position. I will get and read this and hopefully gives a better insight in to life at Motown.

Some of them did, not as straight forward as a name change.

I tend to take some of these claims that one sang it first before the other, especially rivals in love, with a pinch of salt.

hi mate. Yes send them over and I’ll look to add to my page. chalky@karlwhite.me.uk my email. Nice one ☝️

Some more tapes that have been converted, these are courtesy of Iain Rollo and the first two are here, both from The Wigan Casino and its 4th Anniversary Oldies All-nighter. The quality isn't too bad, bit dodgy in a couple of places but the records and the Djing (including the raffle) can be heard.

Have some of you got nowt better to do than complain? Buy something or jog on for ffs.

It's as definitive as you are going to get from Motown.

Can you post a sound clip?

Had some hammer from me, excellent LP.

the attitude did exist because Djs sets were being plagiarised by others who never even went to events or listened to the Dj who did the work in finding lesser known records to play. They just spent their time going through playlists and building their sets that way. I'm out of the loop as such now and take little notice, the rare occasion I do Dj these days I sometimes post my set list if only to give the event a bit more exposure.....one time of the day I rarely posted my set list, more through laziness rather than anything else. I'm not a fan of posting potential spins before the event. Spoils the suprise for me if there is such a thing left these days.

It was a poor night overall if memory serves. I saw Lou that year again if memory serves in Worksop.

I was at Morecombe that night I went with Ray Evans from Rotherham. I remember Sam in his big white Stetson but I don’t remember Lou at all.
