Given out in soul packs Mick from the Kings Lynn one if memory serves right - wish i didn't sell mine with the collection in the 90's now

Cover-up's a part of the scene (and many others like the Hip-Hop scene) and to my mind should remain. They are a good laff, frustrating and so on and I understand the point re: unissued acetates being covered up as being a bit pointless if there is only the one copy. However, it is also as a means to prolong the life of that 45 by making it harder to locate copies and therefore keeping it 'fresh' for longer. Lokk at other records in the past that were covered up and then when quantity were discovered etc became played out. Besides I can still remember some of the amusing titles and labels that keb amongst others gave them Made me giggle! That's all as I have to get back to 'Sponge Bob Squarepants' with my kids, sorry if it all reads a bit rushed...and just for you Mike

Could be my Ex wife

:diablo: What do you expect from an aging Punk

Ta very much to all for the help. looks like I will have to place them on evail bay and see what they get.

:diablo: Too bloody right Ady! You've still not released it yet and this despite my grovelling and pleading :angry: I bet you Tim would have released it- nah nah nah nah nah!!!

Not down our neck of the woods Mr Kevin The R&B still gets the feet a moving but not with the masses, it's back to the hardcore and the enlightend methinks Now, Sponge Bob Square Pants is on so I'm off.......OOOOOOOOOOH! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?...

Know the funk brothers wanted the Roosevelt 45 a while back Interesting on the JW, may well put it up for auction now Allan Sisters is a legit test pressing, had it for donkey years, got for around £200. Value now? Cheers Chalky for the info to date

Can anyone give me idea on current values for the following: Roosevelt Matthews - You got me digging you (King issue) * edge warp but plays fine John Wesley - Loves a funny thing Allan sisters - Downtown Crowd (White Test pressing) ta

Just wanted to add here that IMHO Mr Anderson and Co's Grapevine2000 set-up must rank as one of the strongest UK soul labels ever. Just take a look at the releases to date, all of which I have, not a duff track amongst them and interspread with lesser known, to me anyway, gems. So, a huge pat on the back from me and a huge cow pat in the face for the moaners

Probably will be Taff, you know Lenny, he's a follower not a leader Besides he's going to need a few good tunes to spin when he guests at the Plinston next year As for your badge, does that mean your a big pri**...I'll stop now (only kidding Len, you know I rate you)

Spun at the Plinston over the past 2 years, great version even when ears are bleeding :-))) I have a spare copy I think buried upstairs if anyone wants one.

Staying with this, seeing a picture of him and finding out he was a white bald headed tattoo rock singer!!!!

I was sad to hear of the news of Dave's death. I met him at randy's funeral and chatted to him there and in subsequent emails leading up the Southgate memorial event in Randy's memory and found him a warm and gentle man whose outlook on, not only the scene but also life in general, mirrored many of my own beliefs. A fitting gesture Mike having the site closed down in respect on the day of his funeral, there are few people IMHO that would have done the same. I don't think anyone can really document his contribution to the progression and acceptance of BlackAmerican music and culture in this country, so vast and profound has that been. To his family and friends I pass on my sincere condolenses on their loss, his influence and words will be missed. TheBigO

Just come off the phone with Mr Potts who informs me that the first night under his leadership will now be the 28th January as the 14th would have clashed with the Plinston and he did not want to do that, so top marks to him for 'doing the decent thing'. I also got call from him wanting to confirm our 2005 dates in order that the Dome wouldn't be clashing with other local events. Now why can't everyone do this? Mr G, drop me a line at nh6tsmafia@aol.com as I need to sort you out a spot at the Plinston in the new year otherwise Taff's going to jump on my head!!!! :o

I'vebeen spinning The Vondells 'Valentino' which has a Doo-Wop feel to it to a packed floor in the Mojo Room at the Plinston for the past 2 years. Great record.

I will take you up on that offer mate. You can also see Mr Hill at the Plinston every time - no, hang on that's Reg Now, wheres me cup-a-soup

I loved, and still love, Slade and to my mind ignored for too long by the music press for their contribution to the UK pop world - and they made one of the greatest 'music' movies of all time with 'Flame'.

I'd imagine if you found a 'normal priced one' then it would be a miracle as nothing seems to be normal priced to me these days :-))))))
