I seem to remember DJing quite often at Rudies during the early 80's, were they just on at Bank Holidays and never strayed past the 2am barrier?

In tonight's show we welcome the return of Heywood's DJ and collector Mick Howard who made his guest debut on the show a few months ago.

Most record packages received in one day? Let me explain - about a year ago at a mate's house half a dozen of us were sat about playing records, smoking, drinking etc. During the conversation somebody said something like "I once got 4 packages through the post one day" said in a mixture of pride and shame. Proud to show they were a serious collector and shamed thinking now they'll all know why I couldn't afford new shoes for the kids. That triggered off a chain of replies - "Four? I once had six" and in every reply the number got bigger. Untill amongst much amazement and laughing somebody said "Most I've had in one day is 13 (thirteen)! " Mouths were seen to drop open. Phew anybody wanna add their top number? And please no fibbing. Not sure if John Manship should be allowed to reply either (laughs)....... And to clarify I don't mean the most number of records received through the post in one day (you could have 200 in one box...). Lives of the obsessives' revealed. onwards, derek
