Found This Old List From About 1973 (Wax Machine)


Recommended Posts

Very old and faded but I found this in a box in the loft at the weekend.  Quite a few EMI Discs and pressings, but one or two bargains too...

 

Anyone else remember the Wax Machine in Gloucester?  If it wasn't a current monster, you could get some wonderful bargains there.  I had a demo of the Ballads Can't see your love for 20 pence as I recall, then there was a UK demo of the Prophets not long after the Creation UK issue came out - I think was 50 pence or something.

Wonderful.  To me, this is a bit of soul archive.  Wigan Casino probably not yet open - no mention of the list.  'Decimalisation' 2 years previous, package and posting 5 pence...!  

 

There's a Richard Selwood thread on here circa 2007 re:Jerry Williams - If You Ask Me.   Could the Jerry Williams "Stu-pendous" reference a mate/ dj called Stuart/ Stewart?  Who's he then?  Maybe not - just the way it's typed it on the list. 

 

Seems Cheltenham & Gloucester was a pioneering area of Northern Soul for the midlands.  And this list proves it!
