Good 'un Mick How many of the tracks on this made singles??, think I,ve got 4 (without checking.) Tony

Naah, it's Buy One Get One Free next Month Tony

Thank you gentlemen, 'bout what I reckoned. Tony

what d'ye reckon" Love is on a rampage" The Perigents goes for these days ? Ta Tony

The Torch---the week ihad everything sorted to go--it shut Stafford---on a break --family and all that, but from what I've heard since................ Tony

There are still plenty going though that are still more than happy to listen to the same old over and over,and if you have the audacity to try something differant let you know in no uncertain terms a prime example, a few months back nI followed a DJ who had played,about 2 before the end of his set, Wade in The Water. i gets on first request- WITW- Well said I he played it 2 records ago did you miss it? Oh No, came the reply-I heard it, but I like it Tony

The Radiants- Hold on is pretty frantic, and I would reckon that Terrible Tom would cause a few cardiac arrests nowadays. Tony

Here's a couple. one's deffo not real but should be, the other I'm not quite sure "You Broke My Heart, So I busted your Jaw" "Why can't you See I love You (Coz it's sticking out a mile)" Tony

Surely this is an impossible ask, as in some quarters Soul officially died on 31st December 1969 oh and 4th May 1956 in case anyone's interested. Tony

First Friday every month. Regular as clockwork Tony

Been playing this for some time now. Was told it was an old Stafford tune Tony

Yes it is difficult in a one roomer to keep everbody happy, although I agree that just because the dancefloor isn't full doesn't mean people aren't enjoying it, however you will still find that a full dancefloor still equals a "good" night in your average punter's( hate that term BTW) eyes. We try to mix it up a bit by spinning a few lesser knowns, underplayed etc. but you do have to fill the floor sometimes, which is why, to pick up on an earlier thead, we give the primetime spot's to the guests,which as I've said before, is why they were booked in the first place. ATB Tony

So do I Tony

Thought the Northern Soul Scene WAS a Rare Soul Scene. Or is that just me?????? Tony

Unfortunately in quite a lot of places around here (North Manchester-ish) -NOT I hasten to add the "bigger" events. In what you might call local nights. Tony

First up, I don't class myself as a collector,if I like a record ,and can afford the original, I buy it. If not, oh well something always turns up. Second, I ain't a promoter, i just give Ste a hand with the plugging and flyering( )-having a big gob is handy. Third, when Steve books guest DJ's he does it fully expecting them to play stuff none of us others would have. That's the whole point isn't it? So, I can tell you that none of the three regulars at Heywood would ever play a pressing, it would be nothing short of an insult to whoever is expected to follow you. I have to say though that my biggest bugbear at the mo' is those individuals that have a fifty box of all the latest boots, pressings or whatever you call 'em, and think that they are great dj's cos they can fill a dance floor. Ho Hum. Tony

When we were very young a mate of mine actually did that with the Lord Sitar LP. But he used a red hot stanley knife and a turntable at 78rpm ATB Tony

Oh Bugger. That's me told innit "Believe half of what you see, And none of what you hear" Lonely Town --3 Degrees ???? Yours Very Contritely Tony

Yep, used to get them from Underground Market in Manchester, about '77 ish, but only cos by then you couldn't get yer actual Timpson Royales, or PC's or Loafers. ATB Tony

No problem at all with Lp only tracks, some brilliant Motown stuff as mentioned on here many times. And how else are you gonna get to play the Fantastic Spyder Turner-I'm Alive with a lovin' Feeling ??? ATB Tony

Good grief, that was at one of MJC's do's, a looooong time ago. Nearly forgot about that. Tony

I was told that Mr.Shy was originally thought to be rather rare, but then turned up in numbers and price plummetted. Any truth in that? Tony

I can remember being offered it once or twice on the way home, but never took up the offer as I thought it might turn me into one those "druggies". Far more healthy to stick with the output of SK&F and Riker. ATB Tony

Just in case any one cares, Radio Manchester will be doing a feature on this on Sunday Night, whether it's a broadcast a la ASADAN ain't clear. Might give a listen out of morbid curiosity. Any road, just thought I'd throw it in the pot and see who p*sses on it. tony

try again. Nostalgia?????? not what it was, is it? Tony
