i was lucky enough to spend some time in the company of derek in the 1980s, we both enjoyed shooting pistols on the ranges around north west england, this also included his own trophy cup competition at R A F sealand, the blaster bates "piss till pot" as he named it !. yes they were great days, and in these clips you see him just as he was when you were in his company, none of it was an act, he was the real deal. R.I.P. derek.
I still have the first six vinyl LPs he released after meeting the man himself in a pub called the White Hart I think - it was 1972 after all! He was exactly the same as this at the bar; anything mentioned would set him off telling a hilarious tale of some sort.
David Knibb Hello, My Friend is there anywhere in England or the UK i could purchase cds or Albums of all of Blasters Bates material, Besides amazon? I love all his comedy he is one of the Funniest i have ever heard. and i am from the US and have seen and heard them all here, since the beginning of the Johnny Carson Show. I Thank You very much.
Apologies; apart from ebay and Amazon, I don't know of anywhere that still has copies of the albums. They were only issued in vinyl format originally and that is what I have, thank Heaven! He could never understand why people paid him to tell his tales and continued blowing things up for people until he was very old - a wonderful, warm, naturally funny man. Best of luck in finding copies.
David Knibb Sir they had this live video in it's entirety,I think it was 45 mins long.and after a lot of years it has been deleted if you have this full live video would you please upload it.I Thank You my Friend.

christ memory lane, i used to listen to these tapes as a ten year old 35 years back, a pure pleasure, thanks for the upload.
Used to sit on his scrambler in the sand pits down Sandiway and help with the clay pigeon shoots he loved, great childhood memories of a true gent
i think blaster's humor is wild and great, i love his wacky stories, they are bloody brilliant!
