Why thank you very much, makes it all worth while to get comments like this.

Yeah why not, soon as I've done with the Stafford thing which won't be too long.

The list needs some tidying but I will be getting round to it. The dates for Cleethorpes return is in one of the topics I started, Clifton Hall I think, I posted the echoes advert. Clifton Hall finished 1984 off top of me head. Stafford started April 82 until February 86.

Yes, I have fo the popular ones. most of the Stafford DJ's were DJing other well known places before Stafford, mainly Wigan and Yate, same for some of the Clifton Hall DJ's who played all over the country. Sounds like quite a few had this record and played it all over the place when Arthur got his spares.

God forbid if you rang whilst the football was on.....

Unless you are on the receiving end of the rude and obnoxious comment

Dave would have played this at the same time as you would he not? Certainly before the demise of Clifton Hall.

He fell out with everyone didn't he? He could be down right rude and obnoxious. Never really bothered with him to be honest.

For another insight go to my website and read Pete Lawson's and Jock O'Connor's magazines from back the, great reading and Pete doesn't mince his words either. They are there in PDF and ebook, took me ages to scan them. Shades of Soul was a fantastic magazine, the best IMO, I have all the issues.

One of the reasons possibly why we can't believe the prices today compared to what we was paying and how many copies we saw back then of each title. Some pretty common records back in the 80's fetching stupid money that some wrongly claim are rare.

I think by 1987 prices were beginning to rise, wouldn't be long before "offers" was to be introduced. I have some lists in the garage from then, will dig them out and see if anything interesting on them. but even up to the late 80's you could get rarities for a couple of 100. I paid £150 for Sir Ceasar (my first three figure record), half a dozen or so known copies at that time. £150 for Jesse Davis on Era. Most of the stiff that goes for £400/£500, even records that are now £1000+ today were as little as £10/£15.

Sure Clarkie said he has this at Yate, certainly had it early Stafford.

Tunde Aleem

I still have the list we compiled on here some years ago of Deyroit, New York labels etc. will dig them out over the weekend. Great bit of work this one and like Robb sure I was sent a link for studios few weeks ago.

Sarch Gold Soul on here, more or less the full story, I posted newspaper clippings etc.

How much are the manchester tickets!

Wouldn't mind a copy

Security and Satisfaction doesn't ring any bells at all?

Have you still got the tape? Hearsay, What I Say, is it modern soul? If so probably Electric Express - Hearsay. The other could be as Andy says Ringleaders Win You Over, flip to the All My Life acetate.

I takethat back, his latest very best of latest releases is videos and I am having trouble opening.

Randy in his defence has taken note and just put links in his post, loaded straight away for me his latest.

Milton may own the rights as writer but Ollie probably owns the masters unless there was a contract to stipulate ownership was Milton Wright's.

what Steve says Great show.

The North East always had a presence. Top lads and lasses.

By British do you mean 60's releases or something done recently? If recent then they aren't the original if they have had a US release already, even if they have been done right. Again it goes back to tailer made for the scene Agan it just undermines the DJ's who are doing it right adn I'm not saying Nige or Sean aren't doing it right, I know what calibre of DJ they are etc, two top lads. there are enough original records without resorting to tailor made material IMO. There are enough DJ's with the biggies too so they should be booked.
