Pete Lawson Memoribillia


Recommended Posts

There have been lots of threads on the legend Pete Lawson about his various adventures on the northern scene, but do any of you soulies have items that he left before he went to the big allnighter in the sky........I found and old cardboard record sleeve from a record that I bought from him way back at one of the Allanton/ Shotts allnighters. Petes desriptions verbally were out this world and so were his record sleeve comments as you can see below...I`ve been lookin for this for years and have just found it again...brings back fond memories

:unsure:

I know Andy... weren't his record sleeves great.. better than the records inside them a lot of the time!

Have got loads and loads of letters from him... used to get on average at least a couple a week... ranging from the certifiable to really sweet...

He certainly was a very complex person... and yet he wasn't.. if you know what i mean.

Feel very proud to have the memories i have of the man..

Ah yes Pete

Some great and not so great memories. He stayed with me for a couple of days in Halifax back in the late 80's and my then wife couldn't make head nor tail of him. He was cutting EMI's at a studio in Huddersfield near the Fish n' Chip shop I had at the time.

I also remember one time on a trip up to Scotland and he didn't shut up all the way up and all the way back down - and he was straight at the time!!!

I will have a look to see if I've got anything but again I don't think that I've got any photos 'cos they were left behind when I split up with Jayne.

I had a good look through what's left of my 'stuff' and have found a couple of things of Pete's including a photo taken on a minibus on our way to Scotland (Allanton I think). I'll post them when I've scanned them.

Shute

I also found issue 2 of 'The Gospel According to Dave Godin' but wouldn't mind a copy of issue 1 (must've lost my copy along the way) if you would copy it for me (I'll pay for the copying and P&P of course). If you're agreeable then send me a personal. Thanks in advance.

I did the artwork for 'Gospel' and sorted the printing out for Pete. I cant believe I've lost my copies, mind you, it was a few years ago now. He met Godin through Stan from Preston. How ironic Godin did a reading at his funeral. As a present for helping him with the magazine, Pete gave me 4 unpressed paper labels that he'd got off Godin. They are the first releases of Godins record labels; Soul City 001, Soul Deep 91001, Right On 110 and the never issued four, forty four (444). I have them in a frame on my wall. Nice one Pete, I'll never forget you mate ;-))
