Apparently the BBC orchestra were contracted to play for ALL singers, so the story goes, 'the music made no sense'.

My dad had the single of that.
I sold it for ye drugges in the 1980s. A bloke I know (unfortunately he's the same fellow who flushed all that weed down the khazi in my 'QOTW Lie' the other week) actually knows Smiley Culture and has been round his house. He used to work in TV and for some 'where are they now?' doc they went round his house in Surrey. Apparently as they were pulling out of his drive he told them to watch out for the gateposts and my chum swears on his life he replied 'me is an expert dri-vahh' at which senor Culture pissed his pants.

This sounds like another lie doesn't it?

On my honour they are all completely true.
Most of my yarns (read: all) concern people about whom nobody gives a shit about so if it is internet respeck I am looking for I am not very good at it EH

A mate of mine is a record collecting type
And he turned down the chance to buy 'everything' mowtown had ever released as they were all ex-jukebox and had the centre of the record removed. Apparently the collection was cataloged and everything

The price he was quoted? £750.

Is that the lawnmower wholesaler in Romford?

No.
He has 4 copies of a Cajun Hearts single that are apparently rare as rocking-horse shit.

His collection is huge. Never gets played.

That was a 'Mowtown' gag Jeff
it's 'Motown'. I'm hilarious.

Sorry mate.
I'm drunk and stuffed!

His record collection though, is massive. He'll get the same track by the same artist - if it has been recorded on different labels, and all that sort of thing.

ALSO
a photographer on a work shoot I did once told me his dad was a violinist for the BBC and played on the Ramones' TOTP performance of 'Baby I Love You'. One of his thick schoolfriends apparently said 'fucking hell Tony, I never knew your dad was in The Ramones!

Those crazy pill-popping Mancs will rave to anything!

Always worth seeing Derek if you get the chance, the crowd that follow him are quite sound.
