Because the scene ain't what it was for some of us - But I'm all for 'grabbing what ya can' out of it in a positive way, because it's better than getting old on the sofa (I stopped moaning a few years ago) All the best, Len

What I like about you (correct me if I'm wrong here) is the fact that you are not influenced by anyone - I expect you like the 'Oldies what you like', and the 'Newies what you like', and (hopefully) there is no line in-between for you - F*ckin' healthy that I'd say. You mentioned your parents background - Maybe your attitude is a testament to them. All the best, Len

He's a nice lad, with a great attitude - He came up from the Peterborough area to Boomerang in Thorne, Yorkshire last Sat night, and had a ball. All the best, Len

Great post. Len

BRILLIANT! Len P.s - I have a new hobby of reading threads backwards

The people I have met over the years that went to Wigan and carried on their ‘hobby’ since, hardly ever mention the place - they are just getting on with what they started there. Yes, it was something that had never been seen before, and Wow - I wish I’d experienced it……..but I didn’t, I was a baby….. …..Over my years I have listened to ‘advise’, and many lectures off people that ‘popped’ into Wigan, thinking because of that they know better…….I now know they ‘so’ don’t. Respect to the people that went and got the true spirit from such an incredible experience, but b*llox to those that never understood. My personal history (100 Club etc) is just as important to me, and I have very strong bonds with people that have the same mind set, no matter what era they started out. All the best, Len

....Um - hello?! Len

.......take some drugs then - you'll finish it for sure Len

Hey, my advise is this - It's a film, to hopefully get some pleasure out of seeing......We all know it's never going to be the next 'Uncle Buck', but I do think it will be an enjoyable couple of hours if we take it for what it is - a film. All the best, Len

...You mean 'The Masses'.......they should be culled...... This thread is great.....not least because I am reading it backwards.....more to come......I expect Len

......Oh....I thought it was....... Len

Just seen this...like minds an' all that Len

Yeh - How silly of them to over hype a film, it doesn't makes sense..... Len

Seconded (well 'thirded') ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC TUNE! Len P.s - Not that you have asked us what we think of it.........just sharing the joy

Sorry can't help with ya search, but can't stop myself from saying - What a great record! Good luck with the hunt, I'm sure someone will have one for sale. All the best, Len

Yup - never a true word spoken mate. A few things I remember you spinning, but the majority being played by you and others at that time went straight over some of our heads. Hey, enjoy your laughing mate, I’m now enjoying your tunes - but never forgetting who made each and every one of them possible. Better late than never….. All the best, Len

Fascinating stuff (but I probably won't remember most of it) I just want to hear it again, and again, and again, so here it is - FANTASTIC! Len https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jyc7t22suI

Let's imagine for one moment that loads of originals have been found - Someone mentioned that he hopes not, and I agree (except that I would love to have one) The question is, if it did end up a 'one in everyone's box' would people lose interest / enjoyment as has happened with other records? I personally think this record is actually too good to 'kill' All the best, Len Hoping loads don't turn up......or do I?

.....I bet the winter nights roll by in your house All the best, Len

For what it's worth (a bit of feed back for you) I've just re-read Ady's opening post and I am confident that he started this thread with genuine discussion interests at heart. If he didn't mention The 100 Club on the back of the subject he wouldn't be a very good promoter,The 100 Club is 'the' place to mention on the subject. .....Had it of been me - Guilty as charged your honour ......That's 'promoting', and why it's called 'promoting'.......and I'm sure Mike would have seen straight through my feeble attempt to promote my event........ ......See you on 16th November at 'Len's Den' All the best, Len (of 'The Den')

......and maybe some Smack........apparently it's very 'moreish' Len

I always thought it was first played in the 80's, but wouldn't be surprised if Richard Searling played it earlier - I've had it on tape since the late 80's. All the best, Len
