Bugger, I was gonna ask him if he played the Kurt Harris first I had one of the first few to turn up after you made it a monster down the 100 Club. Played at Stafford also by I think Keith? By the early 90's whenever I heard Jimmy Fraser I was beginning to think, "not again" but I must have been imagining hearing it as it wasn't played anywhere only the instrumental?

As an aside, Richie Brown's "Uptight" is probaly the best take of on song for me.

It will be released. One of Andy's mates has been laying it out. Martin Koppell was recently interviewed and Andy was recently transcribing it as it was all on video but as he types with one finger it might take a while Last I heard summer time this year.

None of those are an orange Carrie? You replied to Tony's quote about the orange one?

You are re-writing history again. Every track you have mentioned were hammered by the time you were Djing, many had been dropped by your more forward thinking DJ as oldies. Joy Lovejoy was a staple of most oldies nights. If your mates said the vocal to Hopes and Dreams was rarely played then then they weren't what you call hardcore. Did you really have Man O Man on La Cindy? It had been covered up since the mid 80's by Butch and very few copies about. Butch was the only one I heard play it at Bretby. 90's was a bleak time really for discoveries IMO. The music had by and large taken a huge backward step with very few progressive DJ's getting a look in at the larger venues. Oldies were becoming the staple of many playlists and the thirst for new discoveries were drowning in a sea of mediocrity IMO. There were venues still doing the business though, The Wilton where many collectors were given a chance, The 100 Club, Droyslden, Duncan Pollett and Pete Hollander over in Cheshire etc, Winsford etc etc. There were still DJ's plugging away with new discoveries which because of the reliance on oldies took some years to filter through. Butch of course, Kitch and Dean, Andy Rix, Ady...etc. Anyway excellent podcast Martyn, you are getting good at this

100/120 quid.

Quality.

I would have thought more too, nearer 300?

Picked up a Parachute test press of the LP recently for less than a tenner, well chuffed.

Class! I meant to play this last night but ran out of time.

Another superb write up Dave. You really are doing these inductees the justice they deserve.

good enough for me Steve

it sounds like lets face it to these ears but it isn't very clear

Funny funny feeling baby lets....

What a great tribute to one of the great soul singers, well done Dave.

Excellent compilation. Had a few plays here this past week.

TWYBAL is one of the greatest 45's ever, doesn't need Levi or anyone else to make it any better, its class as it is.

All on the site as well mate.... This set has been one of my favourite to record. Just about every track has “Stafford” written all over them. There was a period in the mid 80’s when Guy was just about untouchable as a DJ and it is clear to see why when you look at this set and the three previous podcast before it. Guy was well known for his instrumentals and here we get to hear the crop of unissued Detroit material he had in the mid 80’s. Michigan Move and Backstreet probably the two best known of the lot.

It was a Stafford spin for Guy and you can hear it in this podcast I did..... https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/StaffordTOTW/files/88762bb7ac7ad5ae827c0e5f50e9ddd8-26.html

It'll just be me, not heard it for ages, or not taken any notice if I have, just seem to remember it a bit quicker.

Well done mate, you'll be typing with two fingers next

Curly Moore - You Don't Mean on Sansu althoug it sounds a little different, slower?

off t'internet....

how far in?

They sound all right here Mark, certainly don't sound poor. They are mp3's, 5mb and over per track. Fine for the iPod.
