The only thing anything like was the reports done in Blues & Soul, and 1 issue was mainly about The Torch, printed either just before or just after the Major Lance Live Recording. If I think on I'll crawl in the loft and find me battered copy. Tony

Weeell ,there is a single on Granite called Pain, but don't know what it's like. While we're on the subjct of fillums,The Five Heartbeats-there was some awesome tunes in that which didn't make it to the CD soundtrack. Did they come out anywhere else?? Tony

They are in Ripponden West Yorks and if you live close-ish, you can collect and save about £8 carriage. :good: Two Records for me that Cheers Tony

Got one for sale if anyone interested Tony

Well that worked then. Cheers Tony

Ta for that. BTW can I take afew posts back? I quite like the idea of being a Semi-Known Gem Cheers Tony

Well, looks like it is a rare one Guess I'll hang on to it . Tony

Don't usually draw a blank from here. However 1 last try. Ronnie Walker--Now There Is You--Gala P-5202. Any info on rarity,value etc. because as I said can't believe it's listed in Manships Rarest of the Rare. Cheers Tony

Hmmm no info yet ,it must be rarer than I thought. The only reason I'm asking is that I've just seen it on Manship's Rarest of the Rare section which gobsmacked me as I never thought that it was all that. Eee, every day another suprise Tony

Used to collect Ronnie Walker's stuff, got the above on Gala but never seen it about much,anybody know owt. Ta Tony

Picked up a copy of Move Baby Move by Frankie Brunson on Fairmount and was told that this is really Frankie Beverley!! can anyone confirm?? Ta Tony

Legend always had it as Millie Small,but who knows? Speaking of Jackie Edwards picked up one by him on aladdin-Hush/I am in love with you no more. Anybody any info??

Motown Chartbusters Volume 3. That under one arm, a bottle of cider under the other, got you into every party going. More recently keep returning to Soothers & Movers, every track a mid tempo delight. Tony

Definately issued. I picked one up a coupla months back-Brunswick BR43 Tony

Actually I've Got the Neeed! On the Sharp Lp Regards Smartarse

Errr,unfortunately I know him, we share a first name, but it ain't me!!! He's the one at the Ritz afew years back said"hey I know the bouncer,for a fiver each he'll let us in for nowt!" my other two both involve the upstairs cloakroom at Wigan where we used to go for a quiet natter. First-- Sat up there with Pete Tyldesley and a few others when Brian Leah bounces up the stairs 3 at time shouting "It's on! It's on!" "what's that??" aks Pete. "You're crack up mate" came the reply. You can guess the rest. Second--At the time there were some very strong backstreet blueys around ( not that I approve of course) rumoured to contain strychnine. Anyhow this guy is staring in the mirror for a long time. "wassup?" we enquire. " I feel weird" "What you had??" "Backstreets" "It's only the strychnine" I think he's still screaming. Tony

I would concur with that ,now my memory has brown 'n' cleared up tony

Ta for that. Presume it's a Motown track? LP , single or both ?? Tony

I know time and chemical erasure have blurred the memory somewhat, but does anyone else remember Thelma Houston's version being played at old Wigwam?? Whenever I mention it ,nobody remembers. Presumably it was an lp only track, but what lp and how hard is it . Ta Tony

Hmmm Try this again. Never went to this event but remember seeing Ben E. King at a backstret Caberet Club in Salford, on a double bill with Del Shannon!! Tony

Just a couple that I need sorting. I bought a copy of that forgotten Detroit tune "why Did You Leave Me Girl" Mad Dog & The Pups on Magic City but the label is Yellow, all the others I've seen are on the Blue Label with Multi coloured Lettering so is this a pressing or what? (It was very cheap so it wont break my heart) 2nd-- Without a Warning--The Amazers, bought yeeaars ago at Wigwam, thing is it is on red Thomas label with the Scorpion design all the copies I've seen since are on a plain label.Any one got any info?? Cheers Tony

As expected pretty even divide pro & con. I would agree that word of mouth is probably the best form of advertising,... but if they don't come through the door, they ain't gonna talk bout it. ta Tony

Title says it all really.. but do they? As artistic,creative,amusing & clever as those I've seen on here undoubtedly are. Or is word of mouth better.. or a combination of both???? Ta Tony
