im sure the times did a piece on the casino in the mag , but i was only thirteen at the time ,so not sure , tim o'keefe was in the pictures i seem to remember. i used to ask tim to buy me records and i would pay him with my milkround money that was around 75 ish......diddy

Think some of those pictures were used in a 75 edition of blues n soul for a piece on the second anniversary? does anybody recognise themselves in the background?
