I'm publishing a book in October and interview with Casblanca is in there. He tells great stories of the scams they had to do to get Ric-Tic and Golden Word records played on the Radio stations. He also recalled how after Motown bought the company, tens of thousands of singles were dumped to be used as ballast in Highway construction sites all over Detroit! He had 1,000's of Ric-Tic singles which he had kept in his garage,Guy Hennigan and Chris King had been there before me, and I still bought maybe 5,000 from him. Popcorn Wylie took me to meet Casablanca and listening to the 2 of them talking about the old days was priceless. Casablanca said they used to work closely with some of the Philly labels, I guess they worked each other's records in cities they did not have any clout in with the Radio guys, and sold me 2 copies of the Arctic promo only album with Deroit and Philly stuff on. Guy had missed these when he was at Casablnca's but instantly bought my spare copy when I got back to the UK. Casablanca gave me one of his business cards from the 60's, was a plastic see though kind of thing in blue Ric-Tic style, I cannot find it but am hoping it will turn up to go in the Book.

About 20 years ago I interviewed Casablanca, the legendary promotion man for Golden World/Ric-Tic, at his home in Detroit, He said Motown put lots of pressure on radio stations and distributors not to support GW,Ric Tic. He vividly recalled Motown buying the company, and said one reason was definitely to take out the opposition label.Ed Wingate being in the numbers name was well connected and had loads of money and was not intimidated by pressure from Motown. Acquiring the Golden World studio would have been an asset for Moown though - Sidney Barnes says that when George Clinton got him to Detroit to set up Geo-Si-Mik Productions alongside Mike Terry, Golden World was a much better studio than anything Motown had. Don't think it would have compared to Don Davis's United Sounds though, went to the downstairs studio there and it was awesome. Neil

Have got spare mint copies of the UK Sanctuary re-issue of the "Disco Gold" LP if anyone needs one.

You did.

No it's a band new mix we have done in Birmingham - incorporating Diana Ross as well as Marvin and Tammi and loads better than any of the other remixes of the track in my not so humble opinion. I gave a CDR to Terry Jones for Cleethorpes and supplied copies for Pete Lyster to play at Coppertops and John Fisher at Soulvation last weekend, and on Saturday I played it at Nuneaton. And I know it's heresy but James Jamerson's bass has been "tidied up" and sounds more in time now. I know - heresy. There's key changes on different parts of Marvin/Tammi and Diana's versions, the way they been mashed up on this mix they key changes on the different records actually work with each other even though the backing tracks are totally different. I think it's a great remix All the Best, Neil
