It wasn't arrogance really, it was more attitude!

thanks for that,Pete.

the demo question is a puzzler though, does anybody know if there were demos for the Contempo Raries series ?

Thanks to everyone who put me right on this. I knew it was a 'better' version and only available on the UK release, that's why I wanted it! but wasn't aware it was as pricey as that. Up to £75 has been mentioned even, I'll keep on hoping to turn one up then.

Swish, I have a Hernies membership card and flyer, quite rare I think.

I too am really looking forward to meeting up with Sammy again too, Swish..Should be a good day.

This thread gets more bizarre by the day !!!

Anybody got a spare sleeve for the Four Tops EP (TME 2012) knocking about ? Picked up a nice copy of the vinyl in a charity shop last week for 20p, 1st press too!!! next record in the pile was the Temptations-Youre Not An Ordinary Girl/Its Growing (TMG 578)!! It can still happen , just not as often.

Looking for the UK Contempo Raries issue or demo of the Deon Jackson -Love Makes the World Go Round/I Cant Go On.

Top night tonight at Drax, Stu. It really is a cracking atmosphere. Great to see you and Aidy again.. Look forward to seeing you both at the Central too Pete

Yes it was on the balcony of Queens Arcade. It originally was in the Merrion Centre at the back of a camera shop, then moved to the balcony of the arcade. then moved to a ground floor arcade at the back of the Merion Centre before finally settling in its present situation on the balcony of the St Johns Centre. From its early days, it was a source of soul vinyl for everybody in the Leeds area, along with Bostocks for a short while. Watson T Brown!! first heard that at VaVa one night

haha...Cockney Steve buying beer!!! Tell you what, he bought me one at the last Central! Louis, on the Geldard with a box of 45's in the 70's..brave man.. Looking forward to the next one. TC see you at Drax,

Yes, now Ive got Sammy!!! I remembered the name but couldnt put a face to it..brilliant. Looking forward to seeing you all again. Going to Drax on friday, my mate Mick Eastwood has arranged to meet up with Aidy Dundas there. Not seen him for god knows how long.

The main point you are totally ignoring is that despite what you say, nobody has supported you in any way. Any other people who have joined this thread have done so to add their memories of the Metro and they all agree with me. Ask yourself why??? Why is everybody wrong ? Surely even you must see that we all cant be making it up !

I know !! its really mad isnt it. All anybody has to do is read the thread from the beginning and it all opens out in front of them. I innocently mentioned right at the start that I been talking to Paul Rowan and mentioned he'd "dj'd" at the Metro. From that point onwards everything I said about the Metro was rubbished by Soash! I didnt have an agenda, have no interest in making him look bad or insignificant. In fact I only remember his name, couldnt tell him from Adam!! Also I was looking forward to going again until this happened. I just joined the Metro thread because I'd been and liked it. Since that everybody who has posted on the thread has supported what I said. I have not prompted them or organised a witchhunt against Soash. At no point have I personally insulted or slagged him off. I was about to leave the thread and say no more, until he started attacking me personally, as well as all the other "liars" on here. I'm gobsmacked.

?? I give up !!!
