God I'm sick of this bloody Royal Wedding already...the fawning media make me want to vomit ! The Royal Family are parasites and at a time of unprecedented austerity the notion of spending millions on some bullshit toffs wedding makes my blood boil !
I haven't felt as angry about anything since saints were relegated to League 1 !
Amongst my many ( legitimate ) claims to fame I can also add that I was responsible for putting out the first Techno album in the Uk. Back in the mid 80's my good friend Neil Rushton persuaded me that I should accompany him to Detroit to check out this amazing new music ...known locally as " techno " . Being naturally curious I went along - I had a great time visiting the Motown Museum actually being in the studio where Marvin recorded What's Going On - and met Kevin Saunderson,Derrick May and Juan Atkins who all lived together in a weird triangular building that became known as " 1 Techno Boulevard " by us .
Going round and listening to Inner City ,Strings of Life ,Model 500 etc etc for the first time blew my mind !
The album " Techno ,The House Sound of Detroit " was released on double vinyl on 10 Records and the rest as they say is history. If you can find a copy anywhere you are very very lucky nowadays...it is a GREAT album !
I went on to have huge success with Inner City - I particularly remember one New Year's Eve in London going from Wag to Embassy to ROAR and hearing Good Life by Inner City everywhere............another great piece of work by me ,the Godfather of British Black Music A&R ,The Soul Guru !
I hate it that you are not a royalist.... do you not consider the history of England!!
