ORANGE !

First heard this record on KGFJ radio station in LA around 1979 - zipped off to the local distributor in North Hollywood and bought a box of 100 copies as a NEW release- shipped them back to the UK, sold to Sam, Arthur, Adam etc....Played at Cleethorpes, Clifton Hall and so on, the rest is history. Think Anderson and Clarkie had copies a little later on.. Found the first copies of BILEO on the same trip. Dave

Rick, fond memories of the 'niters at the Drill Hall in Lincoln - Chris booked me on several occasions in the late 70s. Funniest memory, playing 'Prince' 'I wanna be your lover' at 7am to a northern crowd.

Made many a long bus journey from Skegness to Sheffield in the early 70s to check the store.

400 'NEW' 7 inch singles just gone live on our website - 1960s, 70s, 80s - check 'em out.... www.starsandstripesimports.com Serving the collectors of the World since 1978 Regards Dave

That is right Simon, l went to the record label distributors in North Hollywood looking for Luckey Davis - It's not where you start - Highland - l had just heard it on local radio. when l arrived they gave me a sample box of mainly Highland releases to check out and in there were 2 x copies of 'Law against a Heartbreaker' it was unknown at the time, Guy had one and l think Jim Wensiora had the other. In the same box was John and the Weirdest on Tie - at the time 'Searling' still had it covered up as Spyder Turner & The Webs !!! l remember also Soul Patrol, Larry Atkins and other Highland items that l bagged. Regards Dave

Gary Sole - real name - Gary Gaspard - I have a black and white signed A4 photograph of him that l obtained from Traci Borges on my first visit/contact with him back in 1980/81. Regards Dave.
