You are spot on there Baz. I never went to Wigan... too young of course ... started going to niters just around the time it closed. Stafford... and all the ones mentioned above... were the best days ever for me... ... and looking back now... how spoilt were we music wise?

Not hard to get... I sold two copies for £60 each... Big Dee Irwin on vocals... that's if my memory serves me correctly.

ABSOLUTELY!! Can't believe it only went for £409! Mick H has got one too... well at least he did have. GREAT TUNE... BOTH SIDES

What do I know anyway... You boys knock yourselves out

You have a point sir... hadn't really considered the licensing hours. Then again... with all nighters that used to start around midnight now starting as early as 8pm... I would imagine your smaller, early do's will have had to do something like that to stand a chance of competing against the said larger venues? I know I'm probably in the minority who thinks this... but if all nighters were to go back to starting at midnight... wouldn't that give the promoters of your local soul night a better chance of success?

Soul night's had much more of a chance of doing well when all nighters were exactly that... all nighters. And by that I mean when they used to start at midnight. These days... by starting earlier... 8pm or whatever... all nighter's are now both soul nite and niter... a bit unfair imo. No doubt some will say it's just business... and that all they are doing is offering a service to punters... and that punters are free to go to other early do's if they so wish. But how many people are willing... or able... to pay to get into two venues when they can just pay the once? Like I said... it's all a business now... and as with all business's... the small get pushed out. Call me an old fuddy duddy if you wish... but this is one example of when it definitely was better in the good old days... when soul music wasn't looked on as 'business'

You may well be mad... but not as mad as Amlwch! You will have fun... I promise

I have no idea... because there was a picture of a nice gold record earlier!

Heard this from Steve Greene... and got one off Ebay for $10... Shouldn't be too hard to get hold of fella!

What's the matter... no one wish you happy birthday? Hate to piss on your chips... but CIS was far from rammed... maybe somewhere else shafted both of you!

You know I'm with you on that one fella... just fantastic!!

I think this is a cracking tune! Have played it out on many occaision... and the other side is fab too. Have posted both sides up in the Northern Soul Week Part 1 [build Up To Xmas] thread in media so you can have a listen.

Took me all of two minutes to work out that lot... Well... maybe a couple of seconds to type it into Genius 2000

It is an anagram Pete... "Everyone's odd impugner." "Survey open-minded ogre." "O My! On dried-up revenges." "Moody revenges in prude." "Greedsome envy in proud." "Moody revenger up snide." "Very doomed up sneering." "Guy or even-minded poser." "Moody, undeserving peer." "Sorry! Up even-minded ego." "O My! Serene VIP underdog." "Greedy 'n' viperous demon." "Nervy or unimpeded egos." "Spy or even-minded rogue." "O My God! Pure nerd envies." "God! Viperous enemy nerd." "Envy up or one-sided germ." "Dopey or deserving menu." "Domineer envy super dog." "Dodgy, uneven or premise." "Envy up or desired gnome." "Is moody revenger up end." "Green-eyed spiv or on mud." "Goody! Vein supreme nerd." "Dire egos envy up modern." "Everyone promised dung." "Nosy, impure, odd revenge." "Pseudonym or I revenged." "Younger or peeved minds." "I'm dopey, sound revenger." "Proven younger misdeed." "I revenge noddy supremo." "Envy so murdered pigeon." "Everyone presuming odd." "Deprive good enemy runs." "Giddy me or uneven poser." "Sure dying peeved moron." "I'm proved, dense younger." "Very nor unimpeded egos." "Remedy on proved genius." What am I doing.. I should be studying!

It's all here! /index.p...mp;#entry630149

He'll be fine... just as long as that MRSA doesn't get him! Seriously... my Tony had two complete hip replacements last year... and I'm not exaggerating when I say this... it has been nothing less than a miracle. To see someone suffer the pain that he did for over ten years was so hard I can't begin to tell you. Then to see him pain free... literally over night... still makes me a little teary eyed even now. There is a down side though... where as before... because he couldn't walk... where ever you left him was where you would find him... Now I've no chance!! Tell him all the best from us will you Tony? x

MODERATOR... I WISH TO MAKE A COMPLAINT... OFF TOPIC!

Andy Killick has one doesn't he?

THAT IS A JOKE btw!! Just in case anyone's thinking about bidding on it... he didn't really trip... and it's not really broken!

John's a bit embarrassed to post this himself... apparently he tripped on the way back from recording the sound bite for the auction

... FAB isn't it?

I can't believe people are moaning about paying £12 or whatever to get into a venue... That works out at what... £1.50 an hour for a niter? Jeez... there's something seriously wrong with you people.

Me too
