As an aside I was once asked by a company to supply/suggest tracks that could be sampled. They did it properly, fully licenced and all that and paid me if I suggested anything that became a hit. I never followed it through

Who did Joan Baker go to Rob? He sold Keb a spare before he sold up. Any more titles from his sets?

Between Ollerton and Tuxford. If I'm passing any time will call in and see if still there.

That's where he stored the rides he had at Thorsby isn't it?

Expect to hear the adlibs at evry venue near you very soon!

Whilst getting your mates to up the bidding for you.

It was said this morning that the Gaye's had said it was ripped off etc. thicke and Williams thinking the Gaye's didn't have the resources to fight the case and would retract sued them.....costly mistake by the looks of it. The jury weren't allowed to know that it was Thicke and Williams who were the ones who brought the case to court.

I could do with a few more choice tracks, preferably some not featured before in the Stafford Story to add to the next podcast, some I can get a sound file for too

I can't remember it?

I serves them right for suing the Gaye Family, only themselves to blame. They did a mix on the radio and I couldn't hear the split or join or whatever lol.

It was Thicke and Williams who sued Gaye's family apparently although the jury weren't allowed to know this. I'm glad they lost

It was in a list Steve gave me I think?

It was Steve who then sold it to Rob.

Hi Steve. Did Jimmy play the Bobby Parker I mentioned a few posts back?

Same song if I remember rightly but different.

the book gives a really good insight into all aspects of the business including distributionn, much of it very underhand. One wonders how they compiled charts and what charts were compiled how correct were they.

I had a feeling I'd got the wrong town. I've a photo of me and Danny in his shop.

Danny Everard is back in Cornwall, Truro. He has an antiques shop which I visited some years ago. He hasn't changed a bit.

Hi mate. Nice wasn't there a second acetate of Bernard Williams as well? Can you remember anymore he played that hasn't been mentioned?

Did Jimmy play Bobby Parke " I Won't Believe It Till I See It", unreleased Shrine? I've a feeling he might have.

To many seem to think that these releases are aimed at the UK Northern Soul scene and too many view it form a DJ's perspective, just shows how f***** up the scene is when viewing it like that. There is more to collecting than DJing and more collectors exist outside of the UK Northern Soul scene. Most couldn't give a toss about the UK Soul Scene and have no interest in it socially. Most collect because of a love of the music and a desire to hear something new.

Why not? You are missing out on some great unreleased material not to mention a superb reproduction of a great Chicago label(s). Do you not buy Kent or any other company that does just this?

But this is what Ace/Kent do Julie so I don't really understand the argument? And a brilliant job they do as well. Secret Stash are no different to other companies releasing old masters. Nobody owns a record just because they have discovered it, yes credit they deserve but at the end of the day those that do own the rights get nothing from a DJ playing a record on this scene.

I've also got this down as Timothy Wilson.

It was yes, dunno why I haven't mentioned it.
