Met Neal Kay quite a few times around that time. He was responsible for getting a song called 'Telephone Man' by the band I was in at that time (Eazy Money) on the EMI compilation album 'Metal for Muthas Volume II : Cut Loud'. He was also credited as producer of the track (which was recorded in Ian Gillan's studio) although I don't recall him doing a lot of producing tbh but I do recall my brother and the house engineer went back in very late the next day and secretly remixing it :lol: .

That's an extraordinary list. I would have been 16 when that letter was written and I would have had records (mainly singles) by at least 20 of them and not the just the obvious 'big' names like Small Faces, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Fleetwood Mac, Moody Blues and The Nice (Keith Emerson's breakthrough) but some of the smaller names like Taste, Ten Years After, Simon Dupree & the Big Sound and even Grapefruit who I'd forgotten even existed. One of the acts on there I didn't have a record by is The Flirtations who, iirc, were 3 rather gorgeous black Supremes wannabees but that year, the band I was in when I was in school supported them at some dingy club in Chester!
