Manship "values" it at £600 in his guide Andy.... but like you say, there has been an aray of prices stated over the past few months ....

Manship lists Brooks Bros at £1500 Pete.... oh and Arin Demain at £1000 as you've guestimated.... not sure what Tim Brown lists them at....

It was.... 6.45pm till just before 7.00pm with "his" record of the week just after that (a new 80's track) before the News at 7.00pm.... Load of tapes of this left at my Ma and Pa's but now "disappeared" ....

Never remember Clifton Hall being on two floors Brett .... your illicit intake was well established at that time then .... Through the main doors, pay on your right, bar area then to your left, round a right turn on that corridor where the "bogs were on on your right and there were two perhaps three double doors through to the one massive ballroom on your left.... unless you mean the secoind floor being the balcony.... thinking about the layout I could perhaps, even now, draw you a floor plan so "vivid" are my memories.... But YES.... what an absolutely fabulous venue back then ....

Just read this after my reply to Ali's post.... but agree ....

We certainly were reminiscing my sweet.... one of the "MOST" overlooked venues IMO for it's music policy.... a ONE ROOMED event thet played "whatever it wanted".... was probably "too upfront" for its time in most people's minds .... had an "oldies" and "newies" theme which is what I remember the "genres" of music being referred to back then.... none of the "multi genre" descriptions of today's scene.... by that, I mean "newies" was both 60's discoveries and current (of the decade) discoveries.... and "oldies" were, well, those already "known".... Today we get, well, "modern" for the new/90's stuff along with "tent", "70's" (be it old or new) then there's classics, oldies, same old same old, youth club, underplayed, R&B, the list is endless.... my query would be what of the 80's stuff played at Clifton Hall.... known as "newies" back then.... but now often heard reffered to as "modern oldies" (what's that all about ) that seems to have "no place" on today's scene as it's what I call an "inbetweenie" sound.... one that's "still too new" for an Oldies room, but yet "too old" for a Modern room.... granted, albeit one or two of them these days.... I know that the philosophy of Clifton Hall has stuck with me, and my mates, since it's opening night and that's what we operate at our Ponds Forge nights.... a ONE ROOM ONE MUSIC policy.... what I call "accross the board" on our flyers... but what I know other people hap-haxardly "slag off" or state it's "an excuse to play any old crap" type of term used these days.... absolute BOLLOX IMHO.... Seems I'm getting into a rant as I read back through this so I'll just repeat my initial opinion on Clifton Hall.... very underestimated, very ignored and always overlooked as as a "forefather" of places like Stafford, etc., which these days takes the "glory" for records that where "established" at Clifton Hall throughout its duration....

Very very sad state of affairs for all .... the venue, it's ambiance, it's people and most of all it's music policies were "top notch".... very much hoping all promoters of the nights held there come out "bigger and stronger" than they already were .... LIFELINE, SOULTOWN AND BACKBEAT got to "keep the faith" with their Allniters .... I'm most confident you'll move on to to "pastures" just as good .... Awaiting the info on these nights very soon .... "big up" boys ....

It does now you've pointed it out ....

.... not one of your favourites then Pete ....

Often happens Steve.... his selling prices never seem to reflect his "guide".... sometimes higher and sometimes lower.... seems he's unsure on some items ....

Happy to report boss that all appears well....

.... welcome aboard the good ship SS.... notice Kid Curry has given the "guide" prices from JM's book.... think someone may be in touch re your Fantastics sale .... that "books" at £75 on SS7 and £100 on Copa.... remembering that these are only JM's "guides" not actual cost so your "offers" can be +/- any amount dependent on demand .... not sure what Tim Brown's "guide" has to say on "prices" as know there can be quite big differences on some records....

Suspect most coming from the "red rose" side of the pennines will be using this as a "warm up" to Sheridans Andy .... and, errrr, Andy ....

It is rarer.... but excuse me for being suspicious.... are you just after a price for selling on here as I notice this is only your 2nd post and it's about another tune.... just like your 1st that was in "sales bit" with the Fantanstics up for "offers" following recent requests for it in "wants section" .... If not.... apologies .... but there's been a few "limited posters" doing this of late ....

But are they good for dancing in Mick ?.... will a little bit of talc on them devalue them ?.... do they have a velcro option?.... and do they come in pink ?.... ....

Top man ....

Would "rock and roll" be summat like "doo-wop" then Mick .... Only pulling your leg mate .... just couldn't resist with your "username"

....

Wasn't there an Elvis track getting plays recently or at least within last year .... and Tom Jones .... looks like "any owd shite" that "sounds" a bit (used loosely) like soul is fair game ....

Has that R&R sound but with a R&B'ish vocal I think.... not one of the better ones though.... sorry "billy"....

Cetainly will my good man .... now I know who to ask

Same here Nick ....

Deffo Ali.... doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves as a "progressive" venue .... personally loved it ....

Think I've still got that somewhere.... and I hope not ....
