Given 40 was a young age to live to that might explain why Mike had not really heard of him (me too).

Depends on your knowledge of the era. Generally, the stars of the pre-rock era have been forgotten. The fact there were no published charts doesn’t help their reputations. Steve Conway has lots of hits in that book and died at a young age a few months before the NME chart started.

Colin Brown, who compiled the data for the book, often seemed to put Reggie Goff tracks on compilations he produced. Colin also compiled a few reissues of Reggie’s recordings. Colin had a huge collection with tens of thousands of 78s, so I’m surprised he didn’t put everything in the book on his CDs, although I think he was planning to do CDs based on those charts.
