WHAT A FANTASTIC RECORD!!! Play this out myself from time to time... should be played more... in fact... gonna give it a play Sunday night

Used to spend a lot of weekends in Pete's company. He used to come over on the train Thursday maybe Friday.. leave something.. usually his tablets... on the train... do 2 nighters... an all dayer... about a dozen or so heads... and then get some poor unsuspecting soul to give him a lift home.... could be Monday.. possibly Tuesday.... usually it would be Wednesday or Thursday.. Never forget when he was living in Southport... Pete was convinced the reason he always felt shit on a Sunday night wasn't due the fact he'd just done 2 all nighters... an all dayer... a dozen or so heads... or that he hadn't had any tablets since Thursday... oooh no... Pete was convinced the fish he used to get from his local chip shop for his Sunday tea was off... Anyway... walking down Lord Street... a bloke walking the opposite way... on the opposite side of the street.... minding his own business... suddenly gets hit.. full in the face.. by an airborn fillet of cod in batter... & Pete's shouting across to him... "Oi mate... is that fish off or what?" I'm PMSL here... suppose you had to be there..!

Braces... teeth missing..... four beats to the bar.... yep that's our Pete...

Pete Lawson... without doubt... has to be one of the most amazing characters ever to grace the soul scene. No one could ever love soul more than Pete Lawson did... he loved it... lived it... and died with it... and i miss him every day. Now don't get me wrong... Pete Lawson was one hell of a pain in the arse... to everybody... but that was just Pete... and you had to love him for it... you had to... because he told you that you had to! He was outspoken... honest... loyal... fair... absolutely and completely bananas... manic... so unbelievably funny... loud... yet shy if you can understand that... a lost soul... obsessive... so intelligent... annoying... loving... and the most soulful person i have ever met. This is a great thread... even if you didn't know Pete... you will piss yourselves at the stories you'll hear about him. Here's the man himself.... TIP TOP!

Bet you boys can't even remember what the thread was originally about....

Whoa.. hold on a minute... that isn't Liam... maybe this should be moved to the conspiracy thread! The other one is though i'm sure... there was another clip... can't find it now... where you saw his face as he switched off the camera.... & that was DEFINITELY LIAM. Anyway... why not just ask him.... LIAM... IS THAT YOU OR NOT?

The 45 was released on 'Sound of Soul'. There's also a version on the 'Free Angela Davis' LP

Thought of this thread when i noticed this... look at his other items for sale.. always find it wierd when they have something big for sale... and then... nothing! Have just tried it... it takes a while... but it does open..... eventually Al Williams

Good topic Chalky. Although i still do pick up flyers when i'm out... it's usually the ones that are made out of strong card that i favour... not to read what's on it... although i do... it's because they're better to fan yourself with! Have to say these days i tend to use the internet more to find out what's on.

No.. you're not crackers... well not this time... just seems like an odd name... given the times and all... that's all fella!

Would love to see photo's of THE STUNNERS and THE IVORYS please... anybody? I'm curious as to whether they really were 'stunners'. Also... don't laugh people... are the Ivorys black? Just seems an odd name for a black group that's all.... so really not that dumb a question. Thanks

If it were me... i'd say NO! I wouldn't be ignorant about it... i'd just say no. In fact... i'd think you were the ignorant one bringing your own record with you and expecting someone to play it.

I know Carl Fortnum used to play it... a few years now since i've heard it out though. Very hard record... great too

So that's 2 who didn't know it was on that label either Anyone... Chalky?

I have it on SVR also ... have to admit to not knowing it was on TCP... learnt something there... any info about this label please guys? Thanks. Joan

Liam Quinn ... he's from Belfast... he's on here ... Toodarnsoulful.. i think that's how it's spelt.

That's Liam isn't it?

I rate the other side better... Bent out of Shape... a thousand times more than No Explanation. £50 in Manships.... this seems low to me... could be wrong... usually am when it comes to values of records.

Nope... same thing happened again... knew it would be me

Have tried to play it 3 times... but each time i get a second's worth of music... and then a notice saying Microsoft Explorer has encountered a problem and has to close. Next thing i know ... i'm off and have to log on again. Is it just me? Bet it is... be typical that!!

and no Kirsty... you most definitely are not!! me ... on the other hand...

Well i wouldn't.... COULDN'T... never had it... never even had it on tape mate!
