The talk of brooks brothers on here the old stuff must have been better a si have been into several brooks bros shops while in america and to this day have not seen anything i have really wanted. it is usally fairly boring stuff. agree with asbo re early 70's nearly everybody was dressed very smart to go to soul clubs in and around M/C it was the done thing, i tend to go out reasonably smart as whatever you wear ends up smelling of smoke, save best stuff for when going out with my wife. mark

what you offering fro the bitter and the sweet mark

i still wear button downs nearly all the time but at my start in the early 70's Fred Perry polo shirts/tennis shirts were worn under a nice harrington or barathea blazer, and i alway wore a fred perry at all nighters i used to have some Jaytex button down shirts in the 70's anyone remember these. Most of my button downs for a while were Gant or Tommy Hilfigger but both of these are not as good quality as they used to be, in parts of europe you can still get Arrow shirts which i believe were worn by the early mods. a lot of people wear John Smedley tops now. I find i now gravitate towards Nigel Hall clothing when out shoppingas most of the modern stuff is attrocious, as for shoes i have Bass Bally, Loakes, and the usual casual only for normal knocking about favourite casual comfy shoes at the moment Geox, always leather souled shoes for going out, and some of the British hand made brouges are very nice indeed, Churches nice but pricy same for Barkers, jeans i have been buying Levis when i go to america and like the Low rise straight 529 which are amazing value in america most i have paid is $30 for a pair, i also like a nice pair of chonos Banana republic had some nice ones a couple of years ago I also bought some Modern Amusment polo shirts last time in america which are now on sale in selfridges, so i would say if there is a uniform it is probably a nice button down jeans or trousers not bags loafers or brouges, a harrington or similar, or a nice 3 button suit, mark

do not need the toilet but i get that wierd feeling in the pit of your stomach must be the anticipation of finding a bargain. mark

did not know it was booted all stuff on was it major bill harris's ? labels were prone to the vagaries of re-issues. mark

steve plumb and crap lp does not go together, is it any good then mark

cant say for certain but i always had this as a wigan sound early 70's 73/74? but always remember richard spinning it. i still like it and bought it to play at greatstone but have not got round to it yet, mark

johnny ross and the soul explosions. mark

sorted sounds a bit like carl douglas mark

Agree with steve m on this both the big dealers are VAT registered so i would take that of the prices also if selling to a dealer the most they usually offer is 60% of the value so he could sell to one of the dealers for 60% of value and then settle with his wife abd then buy back for the same amount bit like a pawnbroker deal. sounds good to me dont know if it would work but may be worth a try. mark

hi kenny cant get sore loser to play it downloads but does not appear on i tunes . from just the title is it the trumains? mark

i may be being stupid but why do you need to press ctrl/alt del buttons to start up i thought this was for windows task master and only use it if a prgramm was not responding mark

good result there i play the other side at the greatstone goes down well, a version of lee williams mark
