Petedillon Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Currently working in Bradford. I was early yesterday so thought I'd wander round John Street Market and have a nostalgia trip..No matter how hard I tried and wished as I turned the corner...the stall wasnt there anymore!! Thats my faith in all prayers and positive thought principles out the window..I really wished hard as well! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Thats my faith in all prayers and positive thought principles out the window..I really wished hard as well! You and hundreds of others Pete. Those really were the days ay? Nip into Bradford for a couple of hours and come back with handfuls of brilliant records which are pretty much all worth hundreds of times what we paid for 'em back then. Can't believe we were so lucky really...... Ian D 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Petedillon Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 I know..it was a pretty strange experience really. No matter when you went there was always somebody you knew there..yourself, Kegsy, Pat Brady..I remember coming away with a copy of the Triumphs on Verve..took it down the Central that same night and Kim Dent dropped it and broke it! No matter, I'll go and get another on Monday!!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Northern Soul Uk Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yeah there and the stall in the Merrion Market in Leeds. Used to get loads from there, all the 'Verve' stuff. Was it called 'Geroles' or was that only in Domestic Street, Holbeck? where I found 6 copies of the 'Shakers - One wonderful moment' for 20p each and sold them for £20 each at the 'Torch' on the same night, £20 then being the equivalent of what? £100-150 now? Ah Good daze! :-) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Think this applied at the time ..... though don't think the record company had Bradford Market in mind when they placed this ad .... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
