P.s - hope to see a few of you at Bury Soul night tomorow...gonna do one of them there spots upstairs room from 10pm.....i.e. a few from the wall kid of a spot Brett...lol

Love getting home if i've got a few new tunes. no matter what time it is they get played...lol Mark Bicknell.

Without question Mud....original line up of course sadly legendary front man Les Grey is no longer with us, so even if Rob Davis, Dave Mount and Ray Styles reformed it would not be the same, saw them in around 1973/4 at The Lewisham ABC Cinama...what a night that was, Tiger Feet, Dynamite etc. ... well it was simply Dynamite to watch. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Ok Stevie then a taxi home.....lol Mark Bicknell.

Getting the bus home mate...lol Mark Bicknell.

Good points Chalky but i'll ask again if allnighters stop or struggle will this dilute the passion and interest in the music? I don't think it will personally. Mark Bicknell.

Eddie Hill - You Got The Best Of Me - Thelma, Robert Ward - Cry Me A River - Thelma, Jimmy Gilford - Nobody Loves Me Like My Baby - Thelma, Emanuel Lasky - I Got To Run For My Life - Thelma etc. etc. generic dross? I have no comment or personal opinion on Philadelphia International to be honest but if you are gonna site Thelma as generic dross, Motown sound-a-likes etc. then add Ric -Tic, Golden World, Arctic, Okeh etc. and a thousand other labels into the mix. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thank you. Mark Bicknell.

Me...lol not really DJ'ing that much at present, started playing it on the show on Sunday nights, thanks for all the feedback, i thought the Uptowners was a hard record to find and a couple of hundred quid in the bargain...nice one. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Hi Andy, Yes nice yellow label mate, i've asked around on this and those who know it seem to rate it, needs a few plays and would i'm sure become a popular tune.......thanks for your comments. Mark Bicknell.

Dig it out Phil, needs a spin i think...lol Mark Bicknell.

Had these two for a number of years sitting on one of the shelves and just wondering if anyone knows anything about them....... The Uptowners - Such A Love - Captown CTN 4030 - I'm sure this is listed in one of the price guides, a really nice but little messy in places male group record that takes a couple of plays but has that something extra.....anyone know if it's been played anywhere? The International Five - I Need You - Starway - ST-110 - This is a nice little record again not sure if it's been played out anywhere, not rare but another quality track, needs a few spins i think......comments and feedback welcome. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I remember DJ'ing at The Scala a few times way back, i think Danny Everard had something to do with running this event, pretty sure Guy Hennigan, Keb Darge played there, very strange nights i seem to remember with a very mixed crowd students, London in - crowd types and a solid support from the scene of the day, played movies allnight, cans of beer at £2.00 a go i seem to remember...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Another weekend upon us and another night in, work, work bloody work but it pays the bills just and buys a few tunes, just had a good sought out and changed the DJ boxes around for Bury next Friday and just had to play a few, great fun, here's a quick top twenty which i hoped bugged the neighbours...lol Always interesting to see what we all play behind closed doors, nice to just sit down sink a few cold ones and please yourself what you play. The Tempos - Don't Leave Me - Riley's The International Five - I Need You - Starway The Four Gent's - Young Girls Beware - Oncore Little Bob - My Hearts On Fire - La Louisianne Little Milton - I Know What I Want - Checker Vi Campbell - Seven Doors - Peacock Johnny Newbag - Little Samson - Port Billy Keen - I Finally Got Wise - Galaxy Harold Burrage - Master Key - M-Pac Singing Sam - Move It Baby - Dan-Dy Crown Four - Birth Of A Playboy - Le John The M-M And The Peanuts - The Phillie - Money Eddie Hill - You Got The Best Of Me - Thelma Little Charles And The Sidewinders - It's A Heartache - Decca The Cavaliers - Dance Little Girl - RCA Victor Sterling McGee - I Still Believe In You - ABC/TRC The Ikettes - What'cha Gonna Do - PhI - Dan Fred Hughes - Don't Let Me Down - Vee Jay Claude Huey - Feel Good All Over - Early Bird The Monclairs - Wait For Me Baby - Sunburst Jimmy Norman - Family Tree - Mercury. and a few others....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Joan that was me i'll think you will find, deffo me.....lol Mark Bicknell.

One of Steve Cato's favorite records..........fantastic and well worth £95.00, i bet this has gone already. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Perhaps i was mixing up the record thing with the longevity of the scene, i guess i meant enloy it to the full as time does pass us by far too quickly, also i do think this is music of a generation rather than future generations if you undestand what i mean......house partys thats the future...lol Mark Bicknell.

I think the only thing that will kill off the Northern scene as we know it ain't the original V other format debate, wrongs, rights, politics etc. but plain and simple 'TIME' or rather the passing of time, some four decades now and at present still going strong but in truth once our generation finishes with this then that could be that, i suggest we all do our own thing, enjoy and collect what we like and get the most out of it, let's face it most of us are hooked for life, i'm into my 30th year on this scene and i'm a youngster compared to some people...lol Having said all this i love the music more now than i've ever done and i still get the same buzz hearing a tune, getting a tune etc. even today i got home from work and a nice little packed in my post basket from Mr Manship, upstairs, opened and on the turntable....magic, get's you away from all the shit you have to deal with at work etc. we should all treasure this beautiful unique scene even if it does go back underground. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Then I'm having another go then so there....Edwin Starr - You're My Mellow B/W My Kind Of Woman - Ric - Tic oh and Tony Hestor - Watch Yourself B/W Just Can't Leave You...ok so that's two more goes ......sorry. Mark Bicknell. Simply awesome Mark Bicknell.

My thoughts exactly.... Mark Bicknell.

Andy...i'm always flipping them on my show mate.....two for the price of one kind of deal and i'm too bone idle to get another record ready sometimes......keep them coming...lol Mark Bicknell.

A better record you will not find for fifty quid, rated this for years, still to have it's day as a big record, if you don't know this buy it blind....fantastic. Mark Bicknell.

Ok spoil sport...lol will have to be The Exits - 'Under The Street Lamp' B/W 'You Got To Have Money' for the simple reason both sides are awesome...will that do....lol Mark Bicknell.
