Andrea Hendry or Janice version of I need you ?
Met up with Gigi from the Charmaine’s at her home in the states, she said she sang it first (acetate only) then her husband Herman Lewis got his girlfriend (Andrea) to sing it and released it - Brave man. Gigi said Andria couldn’t sing, couldn’t string three words together. I’d beg to differ.

Some good prices there.

The Boat - Andy Rix - Spook
I don't normally leave reviews on our own event but after years (and I mean years) of trying to get Andy Rix to do the Boat club for us I think it's worth a mention. Andy did one hour of top quality unissued, one offs, major league rare sounds and could of gone on all night - Total quality start to finish. Andy doesn't do a lot of DJ'ing nowadays but if you ever get the chance to see him then don't miss it. And then it was time for Dave Richard's (Spook) following Andy Rix is no easy task but when you have records like Spook there is nothing to worry about. Well done you two - The Boat team.

Restriction on Artists 'set'.
Couldn’t answer that one but I do know Chuck Jackson refused to sing WWTL at Prestatyn. Dave Tidswell may be the guy to ask.

Cheers Chalky, that’s worth a thread on its own - Records shared by different artist. Bet it’s been done.

Anglo American Auction Results: Thu 11th September 2025
Professionals - with the b side taken into consideration it’s two for the price of one. I’ve got the Steve Mancha version (think he was in the professionals) what a tune.

Johnny McCall
Pleased to see you have sold it. I eBayed one 11 years ago. Bidding went mad and it did over 300 but they never paid. Re-listed it and got 150 🤦🏻 but as said that was 11 years ago.

Anglo American Auction end results 6pm Thu 28th August 2025
Thought the Lester Tipton deserved more of a mention, such a great record and never fails. So me old mucker John Poole went on his first USA trip with (i think) Gary Rushbrook. He returned with what he thought was the first copy of Lester Tipton + Magnetics - Lady in green etc etc. On his return his next set was at Cleethorpes and he played Lester (twice in his hour as they used to back in the day) This gained instant interest at the decks and one guy said I've got that at home. He was taken aside by Nev Wherry and a deal was struck probably including a packet of Trebor/Polo mints. Nev's copy went on to have a story of its own but I'm not getting into that one,

Walter - proper auction record.

Records signed by Artists
I asked Don Gardner to sign the B side of my copy of “Is this really love”. He pulled out from his pocket a big fat pen turned it over and wrecked it. So what I was lucky to be in the presence of such a fine man.

The Boat - Smith
Mick H has contacted me to let me know that he can’t make it tonight. Rick Bramhall will step in for him. So still a great night at the Boat club.

Anglo Auctions?
I’m sure agentsmith will put them on tomorrow If not I’ll ask Tim for them and post them. Haha just seen he’s posted them half an hour ago.

Backing singers
Also at Prestatyn, Rita Graham told us she never met the Tiaras. The track and backing vocals had all been done prior (for Gloria Jones I’d presume)

What was your first boot?
Can’t guarantee it was my 1st but if not very close. Sam & Kitty £1 on my 17 birthday at the casino 4th anniversary 1977 - Still got it. 1st original epitome of sound £4 Notts Palis same year - still got it.

Backing singers
Always listen out for the backing singers for some reason. I thought they had a cushy day on a "Thousand Wounders" - TSU Tornadoes as they do virtually nothing (great track though) Then we have Eddie Holland - Daydreamer where the backing singers are even asking questions to which he replies.
