It might be earlier than '66 but I wouldn't go as far back as the 50's.

Dean Andersons Radio Show- Gilly As Guest
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.

The Prestatyn Soul Weekender Returns
I hope they do the Vibrations justice and let them do a proper set, not just two of their most popular tracks three times.

Sure there has been a picture and some info about them, could have been from Jeff. Just found this quote by him about them...

Old Soul Publicity Shots
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.

Old Soul Publicity Shots
They were withdrawn from eBay and bought job lot by two Chicago (?) collectors I think.

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

Artists We Know Nothing About
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.

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.

Playlists, Or The Lack Of Them
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.

Mr Manships Auction Results 13-6-2012
£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.

Playlists, Or The Lack Of Them
I can remember a time when DJ's all had imagination and sought out a different set to everyone else.
-
Playlists, Or The Lack Of Them
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!!

Velvelettes Question ?
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.
-
Playlists, Or The Lack Of Them
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.
-
Velvelettes Question ?
I'd agree with what Martin posts and that IPG is a New York label although it has heavy Detroit connections. Harry Starr, Harry & the Keyavas was a New Yorker as far as I am aware. His release has Robert Banks all over it. The Velvelettes is a Jobete recording so probably recorded at Motown. Dont think IPG is anything else to do with Motown though other than the connections with the Velvelettes disc?
