When did you first get into black music?
At around the time I was finishing my A-levels, I remember one night accidentally tuning into Capital Radio. “Soul Spectrum,” a show by a DJ called Greg Edwards was on. Hearing this black music and hearing these songs that I’d never heard before – this was ’77 or ’78 – I was just completely… Imagine having an apparition with Jesus standing in front of you, or the Holy Grail or Burning Bush.
Greg actually helped me get my first job. He knew a small company, Calendar Records. They couldn’t pay me much, maybe lunch and a few pounds here and there. I remember working my first record. It was Sarr Band’s “Magic Mandrake.” Then I eventually met a guy named Dave McAleer, who was one of the A&R directors at Pye Records. I kept pestering him until I got a job as Disco Promotions Post Boy, but I was in!
