Fair comment Steve, can be a minefield trying to be fair and getting what something is worth. I'm not criticising btw, just passing comment someone lucky bugger got a bargain.

Someone got a bargain with the US Everyday people. I can't remember if there was either just 500 or a 1000 pressed at the time. Allnighter biggie I've played this for last few years, originally covered up by Dave Thorley. There is no way I would sell mine for what this one sold for!! Some other nice 45's on this list too.

It was funny, there was a queue to get autographs and merchandise, Mick just walked round the. Ack of them all and round the back of the table, held everyone up for ten minutes while Mick signed autographs

Here is the support act from Leeds the other night. Local Leeds Soul and Funk band Dirty velvet funking up Simon and Garfunkel's Sound Of Silence. Watch out for the awesome keyboard player. The guitarist weren't bad either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4XAIv84UUY

awesome......

You are probably right Dave with the "coming to a soul night near you soon". Trouble is anyone peering over the decks looks at something that appears to be real.

either that or they haven't a clue what they are doing...which I find hard to believe these days.

Just over £80. Jeez are they plain daft these buyers? They can get a carver or acetate done for £30 or less.

I'm trying to upload to youtube, but having problems for some reason!

ahhh it's all coming back now Steve Think you are right.

I'm stopping in

Some of what I played Saturday night in the Room AT The Top....... Struggling to remember even after going through the box. There was two or three that I played Saturday afternoon, few I'm not sure about Think there might have been another 70's track????? Unissued Aristocrats I think? Billy Hambric - She Said Goodbye - Drum (request) Contours - Cannot Do Without Your Love - Unissued Margie Singleton - Never Let Go - cover up Paramount Four - Sorry Ain't The Word - Kent Chimes - Beginning Of My Life - Down To Earth Grier Brothers- Weeping Baby All The Time - Melody Disc Billy Hambric - Found True Love - Drum Temptations - Loneliness Made Me Realise (It's You That I Need) - Gordy Benny C Oliver - Make It Now - Objoco Bobby penn - Without Your Love - Unissued US Everyday People - Without Your Sweet Loving - LBJ Derek Martin - I Can't Take It No More Larry "Chubby" Reynolds - Sweet Tooth - Tri Spin

I've just checked Dylan, I did film that track and it was Could Have Been. Fabtastic!!!!

If anyone interested some photos I took last night........ https://www.flickr.com/photos/crosseyedbear/sets/72157629382557062/ I'm not sure Dylan I could have filmed that track you were talking about, filmed about half dozen of Lee's and three of the support I think.

I agree Marc, artists do forget and I've had artists tell me they couldn't remember certain songs being recorded or released. Don Gardner couldn't remember nothing when we first talked to him But both Jack Ashford and Lorraine seem to have all their marbles so no real reason to doubt anything they say. It is ok for some to say put up or shut up but maybe they should provided the evidence top prove Jack Ashford wrong? As far as I am concerned they are boots apart from the one that a deal was done for.

I would have said the same too Steve. There's also a re-recording of it she did.

Why do you find them tedious? They gave an opinion. If Jack Ashford says they were done without permission that is good enough for me and others as well it would seem.

Thats different to denying it his her? Many artist couldn't remember what they did back then, I have trouble remembering breakfast somedays I'd be interested to see where she said this?

since when? she has sung it in at least one live show?

Brilliant show, one of the best live acts I've seen. Can only reiterate what Steve said, those seeing him tonight in Manchester and Glasgow on Friday are in for a treat. The warm up act, Dirty Velvet were bloody good as well and one worth looking out for. They are a Leeds band and are on the usual social networks, check them out. Photos and videos later.

CD dropped throughout the letter box Monday I think. First chance to listen today and goth say it's fantastic. A great mix of funk and soul.

There will be a few of us there Carole, c'mon say hello.
