Yes I know its the 100 Club. The weekend Ray was on at 100 Club/Yarmouth it was @lorchand Lorraine Chandler, Eddie Parker, Pat Lewis, Garland Green and Ray Pollard. Jackie Day was also billed but she she failed to turn up? 1st flyer with earlier bookings.... amended flyer....

Yes, he was at Yarmouth too

Never seen a demo before mate, nice

Mark Wilson sent me a copy of the video of some of the acts at Yarmouth's vauxhall Caravan Park, scene of one of the best Northern Soul Weekenders back in 1990/91 time. Several acts on this 2 hour of film, Lorraine Chandler, pat Lewis, Ray Pollard, ben E king I think....

Mello Souls...guess you had to be there when it was first played, proper amphetasoul. The intro just grabs you by the bollox and pulls you to the floor. Proper all-nighter record! Still think of it as Butch's Del-larks

£3705 Not sure about Patti. I will ask Tom.

He can’t have been very good, all he guarded got shot 😂

Gutted I can’t make it, away with work and only found out about the date today. Sure he will have a send off as Dave would want it.

It is Jimmy Radcliffe, recorded in this country I believe. I think Ion had the original studio acetate which was maybe uncredited.

Rosey was also a presidential bodyguard too wasn’t he? Jimmy Gresham was part of the New Yorkers with him too.

Ive made contact with Sandy, well messaged her but she doesnt seem interested and won’t reply. Nate had a stroke or something like a few years ago and also seems relectant to answer messages and emails.

Fabulous

There was one for sale recently on here for 400, dunno if it sold.

Bongos and a bit jazzy and laid back, pretty average if you ask me. Can’t for the life of me think why it is grabbing the attention of the top jocks, unless it is simply because of its obscurity?

I would have thought it obvious who did it given the label name? I thought everyone knew but obviously not.

By far the best quality IMO

I agree there are loads out there with everything to please just about everyone. I haven’t seen a proliferation of bootleg djs at the mainstream events. Yes they might exist locally but Ive yet to hear of any names all this wanting to play the classics, many unobtainable to the masses just goes to show it is not about the music but about cock waving and massaging an ego. If you can’t do it right go at it from another angle, use some imagination and dig a little deeper, 1000s of decent records out there fit for any Dj.

As said there can be a delay as the label work comes first. Always come through though with the goods. Oh and as Kegsy says, play the Lp, put the money to better use.

No thats Frank Wilson.

The Dusty Wilson on Bronze and Zebra, his name is Eddie Wilson.

One of them had a middle nickname, that I can remember

I can’t remember there names, honestly. If I can find them I will, it was a couple of years ago on facebook. Maybe one of the West Midland lot can remind me and I’ll post the names! Same for anyone else.

Who are these bootleg spinning djs? I’ve asked numerous times on various platfirms and got two names both West Midlands promoters/Djs. Many spout iff about them yet none have the balls to name the Djs or theboromoters that allow the playing of them. Nothing will change with this cohrt case. Ebay etc are full of them, the boit selkers/dealers haven’t sh*t themselves and go e into hiding, they bkatantly carry on. Ebay couldn’t give a fig, they make a fortune out of it. You can make and good guess by the figures given in the case.

I would imagine those who own the rights didn’t receive any money. Not to say something wasn’t lodged with ASCSP or whoever. It is s popular trick to say they can’t trace the owners, pay a small fee and hope the rights owner doesn’t come forward. Sort of semi legit bootleg if you like as those doing them exploiting a loop hole inter system. Others are out of copyright too.

Isn't the original black press a New York press. It also states that on 45cat. Gold or Bronze being Detroit press? The one in the above post looks like a recent press looking at the circles under the label. There is also a chance that the so-called legit looking copies seen, out of sight etc are also fake. If they are going to press fake originals they will also press fake recent issues, they do appear to be more credible than a boot.
