Awesome!!!! Fantastic piece of memorabilia.👍🏽

Gilly, you did it; you were there and interested enough to ask questions and probe deeper; you deserved it. To say you sat in the same room as Duke Browner and talked to him, is worth more than any rare record. I’ll definitely be buying the book and I know I’ll be proud of you when I read it. Maximum respect to you brother.

Dena Barnes told me that at the time i met her, Duke Browner was working in Insurance.

Yeah it really is Kev; under the radar I guess, like many others.

Not interested now you know its real???? I guess you were tryin to get it on Casino Classics were you?????

It IS the USA acetate!!!!! Its a USA Mercury acetate of the USA Smash release; Smash was a Mercury label! Its therefore a USA Mercury ‘Pre-Production’ acetate of something they intended releasing on their USA Smash label! I have some advice for you Neal; 1. Only buy what you understand, and 2. Only buy off someone you trust. Clearly neither of those applies to you here!!!!!

Cheers Chalky👍🏽

Hi Neil, I’ll try not to be offended by the question, but I have one for you.... why wouldnt it be legit? Ask around Neil; ask people here about me; I dont sell fakes! Tim

Hi Mick, hope yre well mate. Yeah i took the photo myself along with quite a few others. I took most in colour but Jac took black and white ones too coz the effect is better.
