Got emails from Dominic Goudie and Marcus at Rephlex telling me that the Batty Dread record was not the work of Chris Morris but rather that of a builder from Nottingham called Danny Birtwhistle. Apparently Danny was interviewed for Muzik magazine. I missed that, didnt pick up the mag, at least I got something right.
Was rooting around for people to blame for making me look even stupider than I usually do, those bastards at Soul Jazz (rolls up sleeves....just wait till I get......) then I got the crowning glory an email from N*** K***** who runs the ace gabba.net. Nick thanked me for turning him onto the record (ha ha....puffs out chest...my pleasure old chap) then informs me he actually works for Morris!
Get this, Nick took the Batty Dread record in one morning and played it to Morris who "...didnt bat an eyelid" saying "Nope, nothing to do with me!" Nick actually assumed his chain was being yanked by La Grande Dame but found out later it was indeed true.
May I wipe the egg from my face!
