Lovely guy , went out of his way to make me at home when I’ve dj’d for him in the past, lots of knowledge and a great ear for a good tune , will be sadly missed

Yes I’ve been playing it on and off for years, pitch right up though

First aired on the fine wine show many years back by a guest collector, sure he would probably know as he has pretty much everything on the label , forgot to ask him, was more interested in finding the 45

Haha, I was asking you, if it is the same group, the one on Black Artists will be by far their rarest 45 for sure

That's a different Triumphs ?

Ghetto - Mixcloud https://www.mixcloud.com/timsmithers73/ghetto/

No, not a Northern oldie also lol

I know, but of course I'm looking for it myself 👀

A little distorted near the end , my fault 🙈 But hey ho

Some great trades there, I'm sure that will get a few thinking 🤔

I would say tunes like your avatar which were the type of tune played at the start of the funky edge era back in the early days

Anyone who has a mind of there own and thinks outside of the box and not from a playlist from 45 years ago

And there's still loads of tunes that are not on YouTube , so the only way to here them is to listen to a DJ who has them 🙂
