  1. So you can have a good old moan Phil, of course…….
  2. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/northern-soul-book-soul-survivors-wigan-casino-story-/191486452654?pt=UK_Records&hash=item2c957b63ae
  3. Eddie Parker & Pat Lewis pre Wigan? You learn summat every day, surprised at that.
  4. Bought Rita Lee from Syd Booths in Mansfield, brand new same as all the other pressings of that era. Always classed it as such.
  5. Me & Dean had a conversation last night…. as you do
  6. Dunno mate but the Blenders is a great record
  7. Robs still knocking around Mansfield Jason, not been in the best of health in recent years.
  8. Ta very muchly
  9. for one single, both signed for and not?
  10. Absolutely unbelievable…….
  11. Don't be Rotten….
  12. Very true mate, those of us who hang on to the underground bit are probably deluding ourselves a bit really
  13. Deny all knowledge, I remember being 18 and doing my face training - on a monday morning the old colliers would ask me what I'd been up to at the weekend…… After a bit i got wise and just said I'd been to the local for a pint. Northern soul? Ive no idea what you're talking about………..
  14. Saw an advert for solatios somewhere recently, you can still get them apparently Didn't know what they were called back then but had a black pair with blue & grey panels on
  15. Robinsons was more expensive mate and better quality. First weeks wages ( yes from the pit ) in July 1977 put £5 deposit on a pair which were about £28 I think. Had about 6 pair plus a suit from there over the next couple of years. The dogs nuts ….. at the time
  16. Robinsons was the only Tailors in Mansfield in those days Jeloneks weren't a patch ( ) on them
  17. Eat 4 shredded wheat and you too can dance till dawn……………….. Yet another low point, how much more can a person take
  18. She's pretty good I reckon
  19. My advice? Don't think you have to wear a uniform to be a part of it, you don't. Just dress like any other 20 year old. Vinyl wise, the scene is built on original records and there are plenty of cheaper end ones to get your teeth into for a start, plus some good reissue labels like kent. Don't buy any of those shite modern bootlegs that are all over ebay. Find a local venue that suits you and get out and enjoy yourself, thats what its all about - don't take it too seriously BUT take time to learn the way of things. All the best with it
  20. I'm with Bazza, isn't it a slightly different version on the advert?
  21. Never seen him, is he still selling on there? Alan is the only record seller I'm aware of in recent years on the market
  22. He hasn't sold anything for 30p in the last 6 years mate, £2 yes but 30p no…..
  23. I first heard it on a tape in the early 80s ( see my post in the "Er Youth" thread ) can't recall ever hearing it played out though
