Just flicking threw some old B&S' from '74 and found the full page Va Va's adverts they ran.
At the bottom of the advert is the legend:
"Trendy Weddings Catered For"
Did anyone ever attend a Va Va's 'Trendy Wedding' function?

Hi Barry - I think eveybody was watching the live seance of Micheal Jackson on Sky One!
You are of course 100% right with your post. Thank you. You should hear me at work ranting about this. I see people cueing up to pay for toilet roll and groceries, for example at Tesco's near work, yet, some of them are happy and try to justify why they should take free music off the web. Or buy the cigs at £5 a packet and yet not buy something for just 79p (mp3) which I have to pay a royalty to th eproducer and featured artist etc. I think I need a day in Hyde Park ha ha.
I believe old Derek managed to make contact too!?

Hi everybody -
Not that I am an expert, but I have had to join a number of songwriting, performer and label agencies because I now own or co own recorded works here in the UK and the US. They have strict guidlines and rules that are applicable to members and it is very 'legal'. The understanding that the creation of a song by writers, the recording of that song as a master and ultimate exploitation of that song as a release whether digitally, on CD, vinyl etc is a business venture with a hopeful generation of revenue for all those involved through the whole process whether the artists, sessions musicians, studio hire, record pressing plant, shipping and even the digital sales aggregators like CD Baby or your high street record shop, who are at the front line of selling physical copies to those who prefer a traditional purchase rather than Play.com etc.
The notion of these bootlegs undermines the original intentions of the song writers and their moral rights, producers and record label. It should never be assumed that the owners of these works would like to see them copied and distributed like this as a rule. It is sad that some individuals feel it is their perogative to blatantly copy and distribute other peoples intelectual property rights on the assumption that they are doing them a favour and it may generate interest that they claim, they initiated. Or in the case of this vinyl, stealing the rights to copy and distribute from the owners.
'Soul Recession' by Double Exposure is a song written and created in Philadelphia on a Sunday night September 2008 in Bobby Eli's studio. We created the rhythm track demo, so the musicians could listen to it the following morning and with the hand written chord charts, could follow and lay down the instrumental multitrack before any vocals were done. The lyrics were written the next day and the group rehearsed them in the studio that week and recorded them etc. At that stage we were unaware that a DJ in the US, was going to be interested in the song and the various mix incarnations that were made afterwards and released for sale at a later date. What transpires next is typical blatant copyright infringement and brought to my attention recently by an agency I am a member of, is a full blown high bandwidth alternative unofficial DJ mix of various elements of each of our song/production with added percussion and synth strings. This DJ has put the track on the Internet as a free download and suggested people buy the real tracks from our CD Baby web page. Since that unofficial post, our sales have stopped 100%. The DJ has assumed he is helping the investors of the production, me, by doing his own thing. He never even asked mine, Bobby's or Chiquita, the other writers permission, never contacted the label or offered us an MP3 that we may listen and appraise etc. This is where it gets interesting. Human nature says 'I would not mind hearing that mix, and seeing how it compares to the original. Nobody will know or mind, and if I like it, I won't even have to buy the original'. Which is what I did! Me, downloading my own song to listen to somebody else thinking they have a right to copy, work on, produce an alternative mix without any respect for the artists or musicians who I paid on the session and then put it on the Internet free of charge! I wonder how many people have downloaded the illegal song and bought a version properly off our CDBaby page? I wonder how many people have downloaded it and have no intention of buying a copy and have burnt it on to a CD for their own use, or indeed copied it and sent it electronically to a friend!
The moral of the above is becoming clearer as I learn more and more about this business. The music cost money to make. The right thing to do is buy it from outlets authorised to sell it. That way, the whole chain from start to finish benefits from the cash to help pay for the original expenses incurred etc. As a digital download it is only 79p, yet people still send mp3's all over the place, free of charge and create compilations to give and in some cases sell at just 'cost price' of the CD/p&p etc. But what is the true cost to those who created the original works in the studio? It's very flippant of me to think that exposure like this could not be positive, just like the pirate radio stations of the 1960's who helped bring Motown to our attention, yet just as flippant for individuals to assume that a label needs their expertise in pirating their works, so they cannot pay their artist a correct royalty on legal sales! Everytime a work is copied digitally, distributed, kept and played it is illegal. The licence on the original purchase is for the buyer only and includes a 'fair use' policy where an individual can copy for archive purposes. The minute it is copied electronically for somebody else, or even posted on the interent, it becomes an illegal copy and therefore undermines those who created the work in the first place.
So basically the music business is in shit! The do gooders think the music owes them something, so they take it, free of charge, and the honest fans and purchasers probably pay a premium because of that. And the labels who had it good for so long have learnt a valuable lesson over the last few years. Me, I spent £27000 last year and this, of my savings and pension and current sales are just under £600. Yet, I see my works posted free of charge on the Internet in the US.
If you are adamant and want to stop bootlegging and piarates, the right thing to do is report them to trading standards or the BPI who operate a number of policies. That is how I found about the 'Soul Recession' issue. If you are curious about the illegal remix and like it, surely the right thing to do would be to at least purchase one of the official mixes, as ultimately Double Exposure would love to perform live somewhere, but can't because there is no money!
Food for thought.....
Bob on.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, since the record shop as an entity went tits up and the internet took over, the whole forum of selling music has entered the grey market.
You wrote a song and you produced a track at a studio - you paid the studio and the engineer.
You then took your finished product mastering and for press - you paid for that service.
You sold your finished vinyl to a distributor for x price - you covered your costs maybe;
Who sold it onto a record shop for Y price - who covered their costs maybe;
Who sold the finished product to us, the punter for Z price - who had a fully paid up and finished article to show for it.
The track got exposure on radio, or later on in the industry got a PRS payment or equivalent, either way something was given in return.
Chain finished, calculable and everyone was happy - and more to the point, everyone got paid.
Not so anymore.

Just had a call from Yogi Haughton wanting an issue; if anyone out there has, I'll point him your way.
Could you pm me your telephone number please?

This blurb is probably what put light to the candle:
PR) Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Rod Stewart will be releasing SOULBOOK on October 27th (J Records), a collection of classic Sixties/Seventies-era soul favorites, all newly recorded by the quintessential "blue eyed soul" singer of our generation. Rod Stewart possesses one of the most distinctive and interpretive voices in music -- his Grammy-Award winning recordings of the Great American Songbook have sold over 19 million albums and is the biggest selling ongoing series of new music recordings in history. With the same passion, Rod approaches some of the greatest soul songs ever written.
Rod recently said in Rolling Stone's "Greatest Singers of All Time" issue that at the age of 15, he used to listen to soul singers on the radio like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, and blues singers like Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, and knew that is how he wanted to sing. Elton John said "Bar none, Rod's the best singer I've heard in rock 'n' roll. He's also the greatest white soul singer" and in 2006, James Brown called Stewart "the best white soul singer." Comments Rod Stewart: "This is the album I've waited my whole lifetime to record. These are the songs that I've danced to, made love to, cried to and yes, even fell on the floor to as a young man in the infancy of my career. These songs and singers were the oxygen that fueled my passion to sing. When I was a skinny, cocky, all-mouth and trousers teenager living in North London without two pennies to rub together, I discovered the artistry of Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, The Temptations, The Four Tops and so many more. They were my Gods and my heroes."
The album features two stunning superstar duets, one with Mary J. Blige joining Rod on the Stylistics' 70s hit "You Make Me Feel Brand New" and the other with Jennifer Hudson on "Let It Be Me," inspired by the Jerry Butler/Betty Everett duet. In addition, soul great Smokey Robinson guests on "Tracks of My Tears" which he made famous as a member of the Miracles who recorded that track in 1965, and musical giant Stevie Wonder accompanies Rod on harmonica on his massive 1969 hit "My Cherie Amour."
Album producers include Stewart's longtime collaborator Steve Tyrell who worked with Rod on his Grammy award-winning Songbook series, and joining Rod for the first time is Grammy/Emmy award-winning producer Steve Jordan (Keith Richards, John Mayer) who bring legendary musicians into the studio including Motown players Bob Babbitt and George Bohannen, Memphis legends Willy Mitchell, Charles Hodges, Wayne Jackson and Jack Hale. Additional musical heavyweights include Ray Parker, Jr., Dean Parks, Waddy Wachtel, Darryl Jones, Leland Sklar, David Paich, Greg Phillinganes, Michael Bearden, Tom Scott, Chuck Finley, Ricky Lawson, many of whom played on the original recordings of these classic songs.
Recorded this summer and engineered by Al Schmitt, Sam Cooke's original producer/engineer, along with Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Warren Zevon, Keith Richards) and Bill Schnee (Steely Dan, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight), the album features Rod singing great landmark tracks such as "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" (originally performed by The Miracles) , "Wonderful World" (Sam Cooke) "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" (Jimmy Ruffin), "Tracks of My Tears" (The Miracles)," "My Cherie Amour (Stevie Wonder)," "Just My Imagination" (The Temptations), "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" (Jackie Wilson), "It's The Same Old Song" (The Four Tops), "If You Don't Know Me By Now" (Harold Melvin and & Blue Notes), and "Love Train" (O'Jays). Find a complete track listing below.
With an estimated 250 million in album and single sales, Rod Stewart is one of the most successful performers of all time. A Grammy-Award winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Rod Stewart's Great American Songbook series has been a record-breaking success. In 2006, he released Still The Same, Great Rock Classics of Our Time, his first rock album in over eight years, which entered the charts at #1. He has sold out concerts across the globe and his last 5 studio albums have held the top spots on the Billboard charts. Rod spent this summer recording the album and criss-crossing the country on a 20 city North American tour.

Well if that is humour its not funny,and probberly the worst type of stereo-typing i have seen on here.
I'll quote Perry himself on the character Megg Kenneth:
Good Q&A from Perry too "The character I play is called Megg, he is an adult that hangs around kids and talks absolute crap, the type of sad human being that does so because probably no other adults would take him seriously. He's a bit of a nonce case really.I should have said he looks like a bit of a paedo then.
Apologies, my bad.

I used to manage a bookies next door.
Phil Daniels would come in most Saturdays and we had our routine down to a fine art.
Phil - What price are Chelsea today guv?
Mikey - Who have they got Phil?
Phil - Cheltenham Ladies College third eleven I think.
Mikey - They've got no chance then. Name your price mate.
One actor who did know his stuff is the guy who used to play Pete Beale in Eastenders. If he came in to any of our shops and had a bet on a Greyhound. The phones would be red hot, and we'd all be down the nearest rival bookies lumping on.
Nice story.

I loved four idle hands. Cant say I remember Going Out. Although the girl with dark hair in Rachel's lonk looks really familiar.
BTW, if anyone is interested, Perry drinks in the Edinburgh pub, just off of Newington Green. He and a load of London based actors are always drinking there.
Its got a boxing gym upstairs. Its a typical spit and sawdust pub, like the ones that are disappearing at a rate.
The only negative, if its the same landlord. He is an arse. Cant bet to save his life, but thinks he's a pro.
Phil Daniels is always in there with a few of the guys from Lock Stock. Both the Birds of a feather friends drink in there occasionally. That blow job woman from Eastenders. plus loads more.
Christ, the nearest to stardom us Warrington lot get is when Ste Arnold (Ashley out of Corrie) pops in the bar for a pint or Kerry Katona falls out of it.

Edited by Barry
Ray Burdis who gets a mention in the paper clipping has a little (vague
) soul/mod connection by the fact that he played in another thing that I used to watch after school in the mid 70's called 'Four Idle Hands' with Phil Daniels.Same old story, two lads just finished school and looking for work - the script writers were a bit narrow back then wern't they?
Other possible TV Soul Boys/Girls:
Rodders - (Only Fools) - Likes proper Norvern. Has loads of boots but does own an issue of Dean Parrish that he coverts. Del gave it him one Xmas
Godber - (Porridge) - 6T's lover. Grouty feeds his addiction smuggling 7s in, in the wash baskets and swapping 'em up for snout that Fletch wangles for him.
Gavin - (The Cuckoo Waltz) - loves to smooth women over his Spag Bol whilst playing them some bouncy Seventies soul. Fave track 'Love Is Serious Business'.
TC - (Magnum P.I.) - serious collector, loves his Shrine.
Baldrick - (Blackadder) - loves his 12th century Moderneth Souleth. Had a Hotbox but Edmund swapped it to Missus Miggins (Sam in a wig) for a pie.
Emma Peel - (The Avengers) - Invented the talc on the floor at all nighters. She used it to squeeze into her leather cat suit before hitting the floor.
Yosser Hughes - (Boys From The Blackstuff) - strangely, no one ever argued over vinyl prices with Yosser.
Any more?
