Yep. kegsy

But have you used the WANTS part to sell stuff ??? kegsy

Has anybody used the wants list section of DISCOGS to sell records ? If so: Is it any good ? How currents are the wants lists ? Was the experiance good/bad for you ? kegsy

The 15 quid one is a re-issue

And its about time everybody else did, PM's being ignored is a real wind up. Plus whilst waiting for a reply on a want, what happens if somebody else wants it as happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Like a mug I didnt offer it to the second guy as I had already offered it to someone who I was waiting to reply.Probably lost a sale. .

Teques If I Could

Its probably the date filter, it happened to me last week. It was only showing October sales, it seems to stay set and not show the lastest activity unless you change it. Set it to a number of days rather than last week/month. Kegsy

My first crombie has a bit of a tail behind it. Me and a mate had been to a coffee bar in Bradford and were walking through town to the bus stop home. Anyway as we passed a shop that sold crombies we saw that somebody had kicked the glass door in. Being an enterprising young lad I was in there in a minute with my mate keeping watch outside. Just as I've got the first crombie off a dummy in the window my mate whispers through the door "Kegs the old bill are walking down". Next thing I'm hiding in the shop with the cops shining torches in and checking out the damage. Fortunately they didnt come in and left after a few minutes in the direction of the cop shop. I was out of there in a flash carrying my prize crombie. When I got home, walked via all backstreets, the crombie was about six sizes too big i flogged it a few days later. Kegsy

PM'd You Kegsy

There was a club called The Black Cat, the hole In The Wall was under The Continental coffee bar and didnt have any nighters, but was the in place about 68 for soul/reggae sounds. When the Wheel shut the L'Ambassadeur open in Bradford, for a while, before they busted it and arrested about 100 of us.The cop shop was packed and Swish had his discotron and records with him so we had a nighter in the big day cell. Happy Days. On the groups thing Root n Jenny Jackson were always on around Bradford. kegsy

Especially as a bloke turned up coz he thought it was Carl A. Thomas. Kegsy

A still saw.

Please leave me alone i'm cutting my toenails.

i would comment but I wouldnt want to keep you away from such an important task. kegsy

There was a nighter in Bradford String of Beads probably around 68. I heard it was closed by the police after a large batch of two tone pinks rendered lots of people incapable. were Kegsy

Quite correct, although it was combat jackets where I was. kegsy

1979 ? Were you in Prison from about 1969 onwards then ? kegsy

No the film came out too late. Check out a film called Bronco Bullfrog or a book(s) that related stories about Joe Hawkins. Kegsy

Very much as I remember it happening in Bradford. As for my long hair, Her Majesty's Prison Service lackeys kept cutting it off everytime I got it to a goodly length. C'est le vie. Kegsy

You must have been around the nighter scene back then, do you remember many skins at nighters ? Kegsy

May not have expressed myself properly. Indeed some mods did become skinheads, some remained older mods. However most later skins had never been mods or into soul and just jumped on the football hooliganism bandwagon. I would agree that skins and suedes did split, with many suedes not wanting the football shit and many of these became part of the early nighter crowd. Since they were all essentially youth cults they did however frequent many of the same coffee bars/youth clubs whichever sub cult they belonged to. Since the original skins were primarily London based (West Ham/Chelsea) not many would know much about the nighter scene outside London. kegsy

Hi Pete Yes thats the point I was trying to make, they were out and out skins and never had anything to do with the soul scene, although a few did become suedes and get into nighters later on. I agree regarding your clothes/style/fusion comments almost everybody wore Shermans,fairisles,loafers and tonics regardless of being Skinhead/suedehead/pillhead/ etc. I would also agree that the pics are mostly suedeheads, ex skins who had moved on. kegsy

As far as I can remember the rare soul scene was really in its infancy around the time of the main skinhead era 68/69. The coffee bars and youth clubs where skinheads gathered would be playing a mix of Reggae and what is now called "club soul". Some Wheel/nighter type rare records did get an airing occasionally if the DJ was in the know. I dont remember many skinheads attending the early nighters Wheel/Up The Junction/Torch and many smaller lesser known ones around 70/71/72, although many Ex skinheads did (Suedeheads). I wasnt going to nighters in 68/69, but I was running with loads of skinheads, and dont remember many, if any, going to nighters, although they may have been a few.I would say that around 70-72 most nighter goers had more in common with the old Mods than Skinheads.Out of all the lads I knew who had been to the Wheel I cant remember any of them being skinheads.
