Your right Ted, Tim did turn a few up, around half dozen a I think. Quality and rarity, can't ask for more in a northern record.

you can but I can't see it yet.

Cheers for clearing that up Carl, that is the story I sort of remember.

anyone record it

No, pretty certain it was a Detroit pressing plant where the two known copies came from.

I'd have a carver done and say I'd got the original If I had a copy its not a record I'd feature in my sets, unless I was asked to do an oldies set in particular. I can remember being a Fleetwood few years ago and some DJ from Preston was on playing FW on the UK issue and Kenny was stood at the side of him

Yes maybe they have but FW never got to the pressing stage for issue, they would have pressed the issues ready for distribution. The demos were done at one plant only. Will try and find the story Ron Murphy told.

There's rumoured to be one in this country with a Motown collector, again rumours. Reg Bartlett was acknowledged as having one of if not the best collection of Motown, he may well have had one, who knows. I was told Berry Gordy bought his collection, dunno how true that is???? Pretty sure when Ron Murphy got his collection, through one of the pressing plant employees I believe, he said just six were pressed and later ordered to be destroyed with one copy foir Motown's files. Two are definitely known to have not been destroyed so it stands to reason that others could be out there.

sound files not playing here, anyone else having trouble

Moses Dillard listed one for Andy at around £400 not too long ago if memory serves me correctly. I'll check when I get chance later. Last Delegates I saw I think the seller wanted £350

The £25k in the guides might be something to do with apparently being offered $50K by Frank Wilson which was turned down.

Cheers for clearing that up Paul. I was thinking there was one by Jimmie Williams but I had the label as JD in my head. I was beginning to think I was imagining this, couldn't find any reference to it though so didn't say owt. Are they the same singer, Jimmie and E Williams? Sure had a conversation many moons ago and it was assumed they were the same??

Not bad pal, hope your the same. Can't remember the information on the disc but definitely Reeves Soundcraft, could have been something else on the label that connects to ric tic. I'll give Gilly a ring when I get the chance and ask him.

ey up Greg, the one I had in my hands was I think a 10" Reeves Soundcraft studio acetate, can't remember off top of me head if one side 45 and other 33.

Does Martyn do paypal? meant to pick one up at Lifeline

Butch has one too. Another version on same label by Larry Bright. Anyone mentioned Timmy Carr - Workin' - Kee and Junior McCants - Try Me - King

Thanks Joan will have a butchers tomorrow. Here's the flyer from that trip.......will see if I can find the ad from echoes.

Great record Ted

Jonathan's finished up in Tims collection, via Kev Roberts Kenny's was Martin Koppels copy purchased through Tim.

new or not (though it has been known about for some time), northern soul for someone is not necessarily northern soul to someone else It's definitely not northern if you are going to compare it to Jimmy Burns, Al Williams or the Mello Souls. But each to their own, said it for so long now it would be boring if we liked the same stuff.

yep, great night that was Joan. The photo I posted earlier was him at Dunstable the same trip. You can see Mark Bicknell sat in the wings I've another of Snake Davis from same show. Not su8re oif you ever did me a copy of that recording I'll have a look and a listen if you did.

I must be mixed up Andy, sorry but I don't consider it very good and can see why it stayed in Greg's box for so long. I can't imagine wanting to hear this played out at a northern venue

mine too.

A friend of mine lost her mobile telephone at the Wilton on Friday night. If anyone has found one or knows someone who has found one can they give me a shout please. Ta very much

Such a great loss, really sad. Had the pleasure of seeing him a few times and being in his company a few times as well thanks to Gilly, never will forget the day he spent with us in the chalet in Yarmouth. The words great and legend are used all too often these days for little reason but Popcorn fully deserved both.
