The Moment always reminds me of Wrong Man Tony Clarke in it's delivery.

Paul

Great piece of work, thanks.

Ron Murphy sounds like my kinda guy, could listen to him for hours.

Paul

Hi All,

Only just realised that the great Aldora Britton - Do It With Soul was written by Melanie of Brand New Key fame.

Paul

Big yes here.One of the great things about this track is it's rarity on an original, hence you don't get to hear it out that often so when it does get played it really hits the mark for me anyway.

Paul

Stylistics I'm stone in love with you/Point of no return.

Paul

Cheers Rod.

Paul

As I recall was totally solid in the middle, would be a brave person to create a spindle hole but sure it could be done.

Rod is on here, maybe he could confirm my memory isn't playing tricks?

Mischief making

He was pretty good at occasional mischief making our old friend Mr McAdden, but I do recall him doing a double take at The Volumes Pama photocopy, looked like he wished he had done it himself first!

Did I recall Dave Withers or Rod Shard unearthed a Porgy & Monarchs MHCFY which had not had the import centre pressed out, looked pretty tasty?

Paul

Deffo blue eyed judging by the Lucky Guy side. Lucky Guy co written by L R Brown.......There's an Elbie to consider?

Paul

Very good. Seems like the riots certainly took a bit of steam out of the momentum at the time.

Paul

Gayle Adams Baby I Need Your Loving

Paul

Broadways Sweet & Heavenly Melody/You Just Don't Know

Jerry Williams If You Ask Me/Yvonne

Shirley J Scott Goosepimples/Lonely Girl

What's evident from the responses is you could have a tidy half price collection if you concentrated on double headers!

Paul

Definitely a minefield of choice, after all these years the most instant call to arms to these ears is The Twans - I can"t see him again.

No prisoners at that opening.

Paul

As always, brilliantly informative.

Another very sad loss to our music.

John, of course, co-wrote "Time Will Pass You By". Just one of the many musical things we have to thank him for. Has it ever been documented how this song came to be written by John & Dino Fekaris & Nick Zesses ?

John explained to me that he wrote the first verse and the chorus but then got  writer's block with the song. When he met Dino and Nick 12 months later they were keen to see any finished material he had. John Rhys produced a few things which didn't grab their attention,so when they were still insistent for material he reluctantly offered the unfinished TWPYB. They saw the potential merit and set about finishing it off, we all benefited from that meeting.

Paul

RIP. That man lived a life, a true gent.

A man who tried to make sure Time didn't pass him by.

Paul

Here's ya fella, for once without his pipe!

Paul

Interesting observation....seems to be a default assumption that this person is male, we keep our ears open, let's do the same with our minds.

Paul

Very industrious musical genius, as said above, his name littered the labels.

Early outta the gate....Damon Fox Packin' Up

All time classic....Detroit Spinners I'll be around.

RIP, back with the family.

Paul

Blimey,is that Russ Winstanley at 3.15! Can't be, that fella appears to be smiling!
