Some fantastic stories and memories of Mr Britt - it must have been a wonderful experience for those people who met him. He sounds like a real gentleman. It is indeed sad that he has passed away - but what a legacy he leaves behind. Thousands of people will have danced to his record(s) - and many more will continue to dance to, listen to and love his wonderful music. I'll make a toast to you Sir, Mr Mel Britt - and turn up the volume. Peter

I've not seen and dodgy pics. Peter

Nice post Jocko. I love some of these vids showing tracks being recorded - it highlights all the skill and all of the different people involved. Thanks Peter

Sad news Roburt. Thanks for the information - you are very knowledgeable about lots of stuff. Sounds like Cecil and Linda really returned to their roots - quite poignant. Cheers Peter

Yes

Hi Chalky Thanks for the Robin podcast buddy. Just down loaded it - some great memories on this one too. Peter

Side to side Sir, side to side. Not bad here mate. Hope all good with you. Peter

Evening Sir Prof Turnip I fully concur. Proper, driving beat - trad noth! Regards Nice.

Thanks Ian - I'll take a look. Peter

I bought three of the Backbeat cd's recently - can't remember the titles. Two of them were compiled by Sean H - so I knew they'd have some good soul music on and the other was more of a well known sixties fest! I've enjoyed them all and added some new 45's to the collection which I didn't know of before I had the cd's. I'd recommend you pick em up. So, well done Mr D and Mr H. Peter

I've watched the one with Darrow on - it's professional quality stuff. Chalky only gets the shakes once! Well worth a tenner - they're top draw. Well done Chalky - again. Peter

Hi Ali I can't believe how kind you are - I'm over the moon! I very much look forward to receiving my very special gift. Thank you so much. Peter xx

Ali, I only really knew his big northern 60's 45's from way back in the day. Then over the last few months I've picked up some of his other stuff - via sets from people like Mr Soul Sean Hampsey and perhaps Tats and people like that. All of which I've found via SS and some other sites. I've been blown away by some of his mid tempo 70's stuff - stunning soul music and right where I'm at in terms of style. It's great discovering such quality after all these years. Sounds like yer got good taste too gal! Peter

Secret? What secret? Peter

That is so kind of you both - I'm bowled over. Yes, that would be great if one of you has time. We can sort out postage and payment etc if you manage to get one. You've both made my day. Thanks so much. Peter

No mate - can't say I've seen it - don't know why. I'll go and find oneof them now. Cheers Peter

Ah, bless you Ali. If you do manage to get anything addressed Peter will be just fine - the 99 is just cos all the Peter names were taken on SS. Don't go out of your way though - I was just joking. Fantastic if yer can though. Peter x

You're a top fella Chalky. Put me down for one of whatever is produced. I'd love to be able to buy summat - not like being there obviously but a memento non the less. Thanks Peter

Hi Ali I've only recently started to listen and learn a bit more about some of the stuff Darrow has recorded - coincidental really with this current visit. The studio clips on this thread have added an extra dimension of interest. So, if you could just pick me something up tomorrow - preferably that the man has signed we'll be even bigger buddies. Thanks Peter

Are any recordings of Darrow's recent live sets available to buy? Thanks Peter

Amazing stuff - really clever. Peter

Fcuk, how cool is this. Great stuff and so interesting. Peter

Very sorry to hear that too. Mr Callier had a very special kind of relationship with the people who enjoyed both his music and him as a person. Peter

Cheers mate.

Cheers mate. It's funny how our memory deceives us - I thought it sounded like Pat's voice with Dave's records. LOL Peter
