Old folks get confused or cover up records 😀

To be fair Ady and joking aside, your question should have been more specific (as my teachers used to say) I think you meant in the UK and perhaps which venue and maybe even which DJ spun it first

Totally spot on Len Do you know what, after having my appendix out and being told I had nearly died last week, I have suddenly realised that there is no point messing about being polite.....both utter rubbish IMHO

I am so looking forward to this mate and I don't normally bother with books Just one thought though. you may be guilty of causing some separations at the end of this year. I can just hear it right now "Darling, Christmas dinners ready"........ "STF up, you know I am reading my book"

Finally after being shot down in flames about Flowers being a group I managed to find that Flowers was just a short for Richard, nuff said my work here is done Catalog of Copyright Entries: Third series - Library of Congress. Copyright Office - Google Books.pdf

This is my Sam

It was bound to happen the more the scene was pushed the more expensive the rare became and the investors moved in, mostly slotters who rack them as an investment for the future, it's now as the CD said "For Millionaires Only" perhaps we will have to blame Kev for it 1996 onwards

This from The Blackpool Gazette 4th July Councillors had been warned the council-owned venue (Winter Gradens) may have to cancel all its dance festivals this year, but currently this only refers to international events due to travel restrictions.

Love the mention of The Defenders (out of the Big Don's Rebelion stable, Don Bennett) Brilliant Chalky

If that's the case I stand corrected as I was told ages ago that 1st Bootlegs have and "ARCHER" Stamped Matrix, 2nd Bootlegs have a similar "Archer" Stamped Matrix and 3rd Bootlegs have NO Stamp at all

There were boots with no stamp (3 in all I believe)

Was this a Soussan one, with the Selectadisc connection ?

Blackpool is a sad place this week after such a loss, he was such a nice man and a Top Top DJ RIP Sir

Well done for asking her and getting confirmation Perhaps you would be kind enough to ask her so we can finally know, after all this years, who was backing vocals on her "Laurel Canyon" LP besides Barry White and Don MaCallister, as the lady credited on her LP is a Brendetta Davis and you may know that this was/is believed to be a pseudonym of a famous Brenda we all know

Thanks for that, you have now taken me on a journey and lets see where it leads ? I started searching for Clay Roberts and came up with this (he appeared to have an alias which may be connected as Lillian Claiborne is connect to the second link as is a certain Clayton Roberts) https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=PzghAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA487&lpg=PA487&dq=Clay+Roberts+music&source=bl&ots=hk4gg49hBW&sig=ACfU3U0PyOoQ_v09wm7inhECzBQQthmX0A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj79dOr2KTqAhXcSxUIHVOtCGoQ6AEwB3oECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=Clay Roberts music&f=false https://doo-wop.blogg.org/ontarios-c31180886

Good links, may solve or create confusion https://chrysler.emuseum.com/objects/31324/big-ella-club-paradise-memphis-tennessee https://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/E/big_ella/index.php https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/big_ella

Sorry I am late to this thread and I see it's still expensive to buy I have a question though ...... who were the Demures ?

Crickey Karl, I would have fought that one assume you covered it for £750 ?

This is simple, you absolutely need to get the buyer (if they are outside the UK they cannot claim) to send you PDF images of the damaged packaging and record damage (I put in my Terms and Conditions on Discogs). Then complete a claim on line and on this occasion I have to disagree with Karl as they paid me out last month on a £50 order to Russia (standard mailer with cardboard packing) (The Post Office would have to ban the use of such mailers if they did not want to pay out). They won't pay the Postage Costs though which I still think is scandalous as we have paid those costs for a service.

RIP Mr Finley There was an interview he took part in here and it's a great read https://www.clashmusic.com/features/clash-road-trip-the-miracles

It may have been better (and I would have posted this on the Freebasing bit), honestly, if this record is and was played on the Soul Scene, I would have fetched my coat very very quickly. There are little parts of of it though that do have appear to have a "touch" of "Son-Of-A Preacher Man"

Yes sir Gilly, what is happening........ this tune is a country record and has as much to do with SOUL as I am handsome

Sorry I am late to this thread but not on site 11 years ago There is a fantastic article by Pete Lawson (Gospel according to Dave Godin) on the label and show missing records as well (page 10 onwards) Hope it helps The-Gopsel-According-To-Dave-Godin-Issue-2.pdf

Hi Kev Can we have some serious thoughts from you on what the future holds and how it may affect things please. as I mentioned before it's promoters such as yourself that have so much more knowledge
