Not my thing, only ever wore one.....when I was about 18...

Here you go....these must be pretty rare....

Funnily enough when Pete's dad died we found this Pendulum badge in his hoard of nick nacks, medals and cap badges he had left over from the war - Pete couldn't remember ever having had the patch at the time.

Dx

Such a pity - he was a lovely guy.

This diamond ring.... Musicor 1061

Welcome to dreamsville.... Musicor 1072

On British I think they're backed up (it's a long time ago now and there's been a lot of gear between then and now) - that's what the 100 Club spin was played on.

Dx

Ruby Andrews - No. David Ruffin Junior - Yes.

Dx

Back in the 80s it was Ady playing Welcome to Dreamsville covered up

But Monkey see monkey do was being played in the Mod Clubs  no one seemed to have turned it over.

I thought it was This Diamond Ring on the other side?

Ended at £525?? 

Sad sheepish twats - where were they when there were loads of copies about at £10-15? Or didn't they like it then because nobody else wanted it - i.e. a chart music mentality.

Dx

'Torch Classic' - i.e. it wants burning.

Was well known IMO in the 80s - at least amongst nighter going collectors - seem to remember hearing at the Unicorn on occasion.

Dx

Er... No. You have to make the money to pay tax on it.

I know you said you're not interested in knowing if any were played earlier but Checkmates Ltd was definitely played at W*g*n  - maybe 79ish...

Definitely known earlier than that - Pete had it in his collection which he gave away in 1975.

Dx

Apart from the Neil Young one (which neither me or Pete knew) - an absolute doddle - I even predicted what three of the questions would be before they came on - never thought they'd have anything as stupidly easy as the Berry Gordy question. The official Temps question answer was just wrong as far as we could work it out from any angle.

Dx

PS Does anyone know him?

Don't know anything about Larry but apparently his Missus was a fugitive from Federal justice.

Dx

Not much doubt that Ady has been easily the greatest single positive contributor to the Northern scene in the last 35 years.

Dx

Always loved it AND the Kindly Shepherds (and indeed Eddie Kendricks' He's A Friend, though I choose to assign different meaning to the lyrics) and am a rabid atheist - it doesn't stop being brilliant record just because of the sky fairy lyrics.

Dx

Written by Debbie Horsfield (right spelling?) of Clocking Out fame and funny enough caused huge outcry when it was shown on BBC's Wednesday play. I know this because Ive still got all the cuttings I was just about to upload to my FB 

Remember watching it at the time. Clocking Off also had a Northern story line where one of the lead characters was hacked off because her boyfriend was away at nighters every weekend.

Dx

Sounds nothing like her. Also, it references 'Cool Jerk'. (1966) and obviously a pisstake of the the duck dance craze (Willie Hutch and Jackie Lee did duck records in 66). So it seems safe to assune it was recorded in 66. Linda Jones would have been 21/22 in 1966.

Would love to know the story. Sounds like they were messing about or possibly just workshopping lyrics. Always thought the singer sounds like she's drunk or something! She is obviously havi g a good time. Really spontaneous and joyous! Can't think of anything else quite like it.

'Extremely Dubious' - does that suggest I actually think it's her?

Seem to remember an extremely dubious claim that it was actually a young Linda Jones singing.

Dx

Different stuff but The Glories' I Worship You Baby popped up randomly as background music in an episode of Drifters I was watching the other night (bingewatched the whole series one evening and there's no other Northern in there).

Dx

Methinks he has a dodgy email he's using to bid up his own records to get better rates for them.

Dx

Aren't you rather missing the point?

Limited 'Signed by Russ Winstanley' what a wonderful piece of exploitative cynical profiteering.

Dx

£5 - the version nobody wanted back then..

I paid that for it off Roger Banks and dumped it coz I hated it.

Dx

No 'Uncle' Jimmy DEFINITELY hasn't passed away according Freddie Gorman's son - though he is seriously ill.

Dx

The clown suits and ridiculous posturing on TV are embarrassing to us all and are a very recent resurrection (and were always seen as dead naff even back in the day by the boss and his crowd) - deeply tacky and counter to what I see the scene as about - basic love of soulful music you can dance to.

Dx

Really miss Saus - some fantastic stuff, as has been said WAAAY ahead of his time - even Pete used to like (most of) his RnB.
