Tezza Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I am looking for a copy of The Montclaires -- Hey You ( don't Fight It ) (Good copy !!) Had a few people warn me that it's not a 'suitable' record for the crowds we attract at The Phoenix in Chesterfield but I absolutely adore it. Bit pricey for a 'stuck in the box' record but Hey !! PM Me please !!

Tezza Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 just wondered what kinda crowd you attract if this is the wrong type of record ? not trying to be funny but very curious Its not my opinion, it's what a couple of others have said. We play an Oldies night and this is deemed 'other' You can't deny the quality and I feel ' Play it and be damned' ( If I can get one that is !! ) Cressy and a few others play it and it never fails to get people of all ilks up on the floor but thats not why I want it, its just so bloody good !! 1
