 | Mike Wilson1 Musicologist Member since Dec 2019 26 Points | I have to admit that prior to attempting to record every release from The Missing Charts 1940-1952 I had never heard of Reggie Goff....As an artist he somehow never registered on my radar at all.....I have now begun to put that right although there are still 4 titles that have escaped me from his prolific output in the early fifties.... "Love Like Ours" Decca F 9493 "So Long It's Been Good To Know Yuh" Decca F 9614 "Two Loving Eyes" Decca F 9614 "Oh Marry Marry Me" Decca F 9755 So who out there is the Number 1 authority on all things Reggie Goff ? Why are these titles so hard to find ? Do you have any of these or know of any compilation that they appear on ? |

 | mister_tmg Also on 78rpm Member since Apr 2012 1118 Points | I have a couple of Reggie Goff CDs. I think he was a favourite of the late Colin Brown, who compiled The Missing Charts, and was behind CDs like those on the Empress label. I believe I was first aware of Reggie Goff from the 100 Fifties Favourites V/A CD box set of Polygon/Pye/Nixa recordings. Reggie recorded for Polygon. I can’t say his voice is entirely to my taste. You can find out more about him and other contemporary British artists in The Ballad Years. I would recommend it to you, Mike. |

Did you discover any contact details for Kings College so I can negotiate some impossible to find downloads from records they have ? |

| Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 805 Points | Born : September 19, 1915 in Gosport, Hampshire, England. Died : September 16, 1956 in Middlesex, England. Given 40 was a young age to live to that might explain why Mike had not really heard of him (me too). |

Died : September 16, 1956 in Middlesex, England. 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. |

| Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 805 Points | Its more that I dont remember him being mentioned say on "Looks Familiar" on ITV TV Afternoons in the 1970s or similar shows , having said that I only got to know the Story of Josef Locke after the film of his life was made in the 1990s and Louis Jordan from the Five Guys Named Moe stage show which got a trail on a Radio 2 program I heard at work |
