since he's a regular reader and contributor I won't reveal his name but he is one of the few remaining talented and successful key executives in the music industry.

He'd just heard the NEW SOUL track mentioned on this board and adored it.

He immediately called the label boss who owns the rights and said "this deserves to be a huge UK hit". And chased Radio Two to play it.

He then called me and said "This is just what the industry is missing these days - someone like yourself who finds and pushes quality hits for no reason other than that you like them".

The Tipsheet is still the only place you can get alerted to such tracks.

Thanks for the appreciation. We need more people who care about music and help spreading the word for no other reason.

There are still a few of us around and we all still talk to each other - while the wankers are counting their pensions!

Your ability and wisdom have never been in doubt JK and those who hate you, do so because they know you could do their job with two arms behind your back, whilst standing on your head and still do it better.
