  1. To be fair Kev i think people were just asking why there was a lack of them and others have given various reasons. To be honest not one playlist has made me decide to go to a particular venue. I know the reputation of most DJ's and promoters via either listening and attending or word of mouth. If I have time I read the playlists. I rarely post one as I don't generally have the time... or the memory
  2. It might be earlier than '66 but I wouldn't go as far back as the 50's.
  3. Just giving this a bump for those getting into work and fancy something to listen too. Excellent show with some great anecdotes and tales of Gilly's trips and the friendships he made.
  4. I hope they do the Vibrations justice and let them do a proper set, not just two of their most popular tracks three times.
  5. Sure there has been a picture and some info about them, could have been from Jeff. Just found this quote by him about them...

    The guy was selling he DC agency shots, he did sell some of them but the remainder were bought job lot, I got scans of every one. The same seller then started selling Popsies collection but was asking too much for many of them.

    They were withdrawn from eBay and bought job lot by two Chicago (?) collectors I think.
  8. Hope it is on kindle......
  9. Gilly just telling a story about james Lately on Dean's show. James apparently went to school with Berry Gordy. Gordy was a tough little cookie, boxer an all that but James gave him a good hiding
  10. it is on cdbaby or another site like that.....
  11. I'm sure Gilly told me some years ago, we were travelling somewhere, and sure he said he'd been round to James Lately's house/mothers with either Popcorn or Dave Hamilton but he couldn't get past James' mother.
  12. There is a topic about Dena Barnes on here. Tim did track her down and pete Smith had some sort of contact too I think.
  13. Part two.... https://www.mixcloud.com/Chalkster/dean-anderson-with-special-guests-gilly-nicola-part-2/
  14. Part 1.... https://www.mixcloud.com/Chalkster/dean-anderson-with-special-guests-gilly-and-nicola/
  15. Tomorrow afternoon is the plan pal, beer and catch up sounds good.
  16. You at Cleggy pal? If so see you there. Just converting them now, might take a while to upload though.
  17. Top fella Andy Dennison has kindly sent the show down on CD. I'm just ripping it now (2cds) and I will post up to my mix cloud page for all to listen to. Many thanks Andy, you are a star
  18. Margie on the right. Loads of photos here.... https://raycharlesvideomuseum.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/ray-charles-is-in-town-chronology-1961.html
  19. Buddy Smith is on Facebook, add him as a friend and ask him all you want? https://www.facebook.com/Buddy.Smith.Music
  20. I'mpretty much agree again Terry, I like to play and hear dancers and by imagination I mean each DJ having by and large different to the others, most of the main DJ's had a different set at one time. Today many DJ's have the same records.
  21. £213 for Danny Harrison? There was an issue on here few weeks ago for £60. A demo last week I think for £45. A bit of homework and some could save themselves a fortune.
  22. I can remember a time when DJ's all had imagination and sought out a different set to everyone else.
  23. I would think that in this day and age most of us know what any one DJ is known to play and the policy of most venues so I doubt a playlist in the grand scheme of things is going to make much difference. For once I have to agree with Terry, both his posts!!

    Sorry Robb should have made it clearer, wasn't referring to any other of the releases. As I believed and as you confirm it is a New York label.
  25. I know a few who won't post a playlist simply because of the above. They feel they are simply doing the hard work for those too lazy to look for records and to support the DJs and venues the lists are from.
