Im a big fan of SM, his tv and radio stuff and i loved 'Cider with roadies' (his first book) but was dissapointed with this. Fell into that lazy northern thing of blaming the whole world for how crap something is rather than getting on with trying to make it better, (im in merseyside so thats magnified 1000 times over). Some of the little stories in it are good though, i liked the one about the working mens (Doley's) club in Huddersfield trying to book Elvis for £10,000, and Tom Parker saying thats my cut whats in it for Elvis.

WHY IS THAT PLACE EMPTY???? SHOULD BE MOBBED.. WHAT A STAR

Class If you ask a girl to dance and that happens, you'd be straight out the back door. 2 sides to every story though

PRICELESS Chin seng - mellow grooves to chill you out Chin liner - what small time collectors keep their tunes in (mines more of a pedal chin) Stubble rash - the remnants of an evening spent in the company of......(feel free to fill this part in)

I was up in the Alps (Avoriaz) about 10 or 15 years ago, in a 'civilian' night club, and they played a French language version of this. I remember thinking this sounds great, not recognising it till the chorus. Worth looking up.

There would be ideas and theories knocking around, about how to stop attracting all those old farts to nighters. We would all be disco dancing gods, instead of looking like drunk uncle fekwit at a wedding.

Superb. Thanks guys.

Perfik Thanks M8 Just 1 more thing Penny - Jerry Townes/ Nevermore Chi or Det?

At the height of the Vichy/funky occupation of the southern Godlands, it is easy to forget the active resistance to all the crimes of humanity which were taking place,e.g. the branding of persons with foreign sounding words accross their chests, like Fila or Nike. The main resistance was led by a midland nobleman, Known as sir Horrace, who much like the scarlet pimpernel led a double life, in the day displaying a false front of respectibility and some times even sat down to tea with the enemy, but at night in a dingy cellar, plotted the down fall of the hoards in crap, tucked in pullovers. The ebbs and flows of this resistance is well documented, however sometimes sadly discounted, as when the Godin parrallel was breached and the south liberated, the recriminations began. Mostly disgruntled Northerners who werent awarded medals of honour for their war effort work, safely behind allied lines and miles from the front line. However today, each June, the southern resistance is honoured by a weekend pilgrimage to Lincolnshire, where veterans of this glorious campeign get together and talk of the God old days. Proudly displaying their Kent singles like poppies. Educate your children, that the danger and sacrifice of the southern resistance not be forgotten.

Isnt that when she came back? Not soul but how about "Who are you" The Who.

You Diamond.

Cheers Steve. Ill pm you if no luck. Cant find it anywhere on web!!!

Has anyone got a clip of this they can put up? You know the "Detroit, Michigan, Motortown, Motown, This is the Motown Sound" One. Thanks in Advance. Mark

How to narrow it down? Dean Parrish at cleethorps felt almost spiritual, like the first time i saw the Pistols, i thought how can i go out again and enjoy it when ive just witnessed this? Thankfully though i aint been spoiled, and every time i set foot in the 100 club im an over exited kid. For some reason the 2.5 Anny at Stafford sticks out as a magic night. Prob cos it was really busy and one of the few times the turnout did the music justice. Also coming back from China for t'undrids 25th, the hardship of getting there was repaid and some.

Smokey, Gordy, HDH etc definatly drew a new line with regards the process of making and more importantly selling records. But they were all very genorous with there music, eg. if the Temps sounded better than Smokey, they got the release. The scouse chancers guarded their stuff quite jealously i thought, mind you who could blame them. Also where does Frank Wilson fit in re team ups?

Got it. cheers malc

Can only find the soundtrack. not the film.

Good man

Gigantor by the Dickies, Kin bedlam. Oh and Angelina oh Angelina, cant dance too well when you want to pull your own eyes out and stuff em in your ears, nails down a blackboard.

Does any one have the film Coolie High on any watchable format they could flow my way. Need it for a Uni module (Pop music and American society) My Prof wants to show it to the class, and we cant deny all the 18yr olds a nice intro into Detroits finest can we? Thanks all. Mark

Rarley go to oldies nights and so when i do i really enjoy them. My legs would be aching after that set. (apart from the Deadbeats, nice song but nasty to dance to)

Heartbreaking. Angering. Heartbreaking. Land of the free, so long as youve got money, so sad. Saying that, we are just as soulless over here, every high street the same as every other.
