If anyone has tidy copies of the following, please PM me.....Thanx in advance...wilxy Little Foxes-Love made to order-Okeh Darrow Fletcher-Gotta draw the line-Groovy Johnny Robinson-Gone but not forgotten-Okeh

Haven't done weekenders apart from one for over a decade, and Cleethorpes still holds great memories for me personally....

I remember that , and as you say was very inspirational to the likes of myself, when the written word was king....Great piece.....Great days....

Each to their own I suppose but I love the record:yes: ....And would like to acqiure one in due course.....along with a fair few other Detroit Ditties....

Collecting and playing to myself does me nowadays....My dog loves all the tunes I play unreservedly....whilst the wife does the ironing....can't go wrong:yes:

Utmost respect Mr. Weems.....RIP....

PM'd you:hatsoff2:

PM'd you

Good shout Rob.....as per usual:yes:

I'll be totally honest, in my "blissfull ignorance", I'd have dismissed most of this labels repertoire other than 5 of the first 6 releases, but until now haven't heard the majority of them, and I must say the Lonette/ Blue Jeans item in particular is now a must have as is the Jason steel! Good work fellas:hatsoff2:

Perhaps a few more label "owners" will take note....."so to speak"

Whilst appreciating the compilations release, it would be even more satisfying to be dripfed the obvious wealth of "vault" material on a more regular basis, than the repackaged, repackaged, repackaged.....etc.

Great record ,and one which I'm certain that I've only seen once whilst perusing vinyl for sale, which I'm sure was at Burnley about eighteen months ago, alas I was shy of the asking price somewhat, and regrettably vinyl of this ilk remains very difficult to obtain:yes:

Albeit primarily a Detroit collector,and I totally empathise with earlier choices of Ric-Tic/Golden World, and latterly the Carla/Karen stable etc.(and not ignoring the Motown portfolio) I would totally concur with the Mirwood choice for its consistency with regard to the initial Thread Heading! best, wilxy

Very nice Too

Talk about "carrot and big stick":D

I agree Kevin, I have always been both fascinated and somewhat mystified that the Pied Piper productions were never "catalogued" as such, (to my knowledge anyway! )I appreciate that Ady has thankfully included several unreleased gems on the two RCA (rare collectable and soulful) Kent compilations, and with regard to the "lost recordings" I agree with the sentiment of what could have been, considering the quality of the majority of output by the Pied Piper Team....I just hope that in due course....(as Flynny has mentioned) that a further opportunity to listen to more unreleased masterpieces of similar ilk is maybe possible?......wilxy

To be honest Russ, I used to travel regularly in the 70's by coach, which was all part and parcel of a regular adventure! Nowadays the logistics and costs could possibly deter such similar excursions on a regular basis, however to re-create the "craic" every now and then from a personal perspective in a similar manner would be a very attractive proposition:yes:

Sorted now thanx:thumbsup:

Thanx guys, will PM you in due course:thumbsup:

PM'd you Miff:thumbsup:
