I have to jump on this thread from the off, without question Ian Clark is the single most important mentor to me as a collector and DJ,his contribution to the Northern scene during the late 70's and 80's was outstanding, top man at Yate (sorry Dave) early Stafford again top man, West Hampstead pre 100 Club Ian was there, The 100 Club was his all of it during the early days of the now legendary 6T's Allnighters, his taste in records was/is top class, remember early 80's without fail Ian would deliver keeping well ahead of the record collecting game, his spots were awesome, Paris, Bobby Kline, Jock Mitchell, Brooks Brothers, Johnny Rodgers, Four Tracks, Eric Mercury, Empires, Roger Hatcher, Joann Courcy, Gene Toones, Cashmeres, Chico Lamarr.... the list and quality was endless. And a very generous man too I remember walking into the 100 Club early 80's just before the Allnighter started and it was around the time that records were sold and traded at the front of the stage, Ian turned round to me and said "There's a Cashmeres in there" pointing to this little 50 box "If your interested"?........gulp! "how much"??? "fifty quid" replied Ian, you can guess what happened next! surfice to say I still have that record in my collection. Ian has never had an attitude or ego did'nt need to with the records he had, more importantly as Dave said Ian is missed so much as DJ and as a friend, I've openly said on more than one ocassion that Ian Clark was and still is my soul and inspiration, I've always tried to present what I do as a DJ with the same passion and integrity that Ian projected when I was a teenager just getting into Northern. Respect Mr Clark. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thanks Mike for putting this information in the correct place. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Here, here! mate totally agree with this statement, infact outside of the bigger stuff I still hold in my collection I pretty much go for the quality cheaper bits and bobs as Tina Britt etc. etc. as you say some wonderful little records out there to collect, play and enjoy.

My valuation is a bit of a guess as I'm normally way off with this pricing lark...lol the demand for this record should be huge, best version of 'You're Absoltely Right' by a mile. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
