Anything mate, much appreciated.

Absolutely fabulous show. Only dowside was Snake refusing to do an encore so they sung whilst the band were packing their stuff away. Snake went really down in my estimation after that.

Clara Hardy is uncredited acetate which Butch now owns. Lou Pride is as Mick says Grey Imprint as far as I am aware, unless he had another Lou Pride cu.

Smelt. Been on FB last couple of days.

Gary is active on Facebook, mind you not seen his name for a wee while.

Nice one pal, appreciated. Not sure I travelled to the Leith nighter?

It’s late 83 and later as Guy and Keb weren’t doing Stafford prior to then. Guy’s first set August of that year.

Just cataloguing some Echoes came across full page ad for Tommy Hunt live on December 26th (Sunday) allayer, 12 till 12 Also same ad Christmas Eve The Releases Thing and New Years Eve Sweet Sensation. Both nights 7.30 till 2am.

I think it is the Observer but can't remember 100%, definitely a Sunday magazine article. I scanned the article, the scans above are those I did. I was given the whole magazine to scan them but had to give it back. I didn't make note of the dates or the paper unfortunately.

The airplay was one station 90 miles from Detroit? The exposure was brief. I guess it had other minor plays on other local stations but I would also imagine the amount of records released locally not to mention nationally at the time was huge and maybe it just got lost amongst them all? Promotion or lack of it was probably a factor too?

May have been eBay that was said, not discogs although someone has done the entry for the RSD release on discogs

someone did and stuck it on discogs straight away for £75 apparently....I can't see one for sale though

It might be the observer?

There is a recording by Carol & Sherry on MGM (K13308). Carole Bayer Sager & Sherry N. Harway. I've messaged Carole, see if she replies.

I spent a few hours one day trying to find some info, not a sniff. Carole Bayer Sager can be contacted easy enough via her website and Gerri sounds nothing like Gerri Diamond to these ears, she can also be contacted easy enough too.

Flying Witch is a mock up for youtube, never pressed on that label as far as I am aware

Went to them all with Andy Dyson. Any chance of some scand of the flyers tickets etc for a project I’m doing, 300dpi 🤗 Full credit given of course

Never had a problem, bought and sold plenty. Just check the feedback like you would ebay. The vast majority are honest and reputable but like any market place there are also thieves and scammers. If younuse paypla you won’t have a problem getting your money back and discogs themselves are usually quick to act and pretty good Many of the old ebay sellers have gone to discogs as have many dealers. First place that comes up on a search and the biggest market place now.

What a great show it was too.

I’ve already supplied them with flyers. Currently putting a playlist together for them for a show.

No extra copies, if anything probably less than there used to be. Just demand as Mick says. Quite a few of the releases can be got for 50 quid or less, others that are no Northern classics are 100 plus.

Available to buy, get your copy before they are gone!

depends if they remake the stampers, if they use the same it won't be a reissue

Isn't this getting a repress and an Lp release soon?

Last nights show (12th April) with special guest and another legend of the soul scene Ian Dewhirst
