Hi Brett,great to read a thread I concur with....saves me from litigation! I have a couple of tunes I would like that ,probably ,could not be played ,at most,if not all venues,that are on 78 only. I only play from originals as we both do..........SO cutting a 45 and playing it out whilst having the 78,to me would be ok.......?ATB Stevie

Hi,slightly off your original post........ Hows about Oscar Perry--Big Sam--Lock-Key.....Arranged and penned by the Great man himself? Was this his first released tune? Out of Houston Texas..........ATB Stevie z

Hi Lenny, I first met Val about ten years ago when Neil Brown and I went on a record spree for a couple of weeks . He was a little wary at first,telling me to tuck my shirt in(so that I couldn't hide any tunes) We spent two solid 10 hour days in there and spent just over $3000. Val sent out for drinks and food for us. At the end of our second session in there ,he and his wife and a few of his friends took us to the Italian quarter for a cracking meal. Oh by the way Harvey and the Jokers .....two copies at $10 each and whilst in his wharehouse I spoke to Jerry Williams on the phone about A CD that he had just been made aware of with "I'll be back " on it ,he wasn't too happy he produced the tune and wanted some cash out of it ATB Stevie z

Ray and the Blue satins went to the "Gasher" from me several years ago Brill tune. Don't know if rousing but the intro to the FORMATIONS tune "lonely voice of love " I do like. ATB Stevie
