Ion always used to take great delight in having and runny egg sandwich there much afterwards to everyone's disgust. Dx PS I used to wear KF slippers - they were great when you could still get the cotton only soles, nice and slippery - but then all you could get was the rubberised ones which were useless.

Sure it says inside - I designed the package anyway and it's Cody Black on the right, think the other one's Shirley Wahls. Dx

Seem to remember Ted Taylor 'Somebody's Always Trying' originally being covered up as Cookie Jackson. Dx

Notice mention of Mark Lamarr on the other thread - he used to come to all the Swindon football club soul nights that Scouse ran in the mid 80s, he shared a house with Muff, she was a nighter regular at the time. Dx

If you shout at a discotron loud enough I'm sure that'll cut the sound of your voice onto your rarest vinyl. Dx

Smokey the Bear would pull out all his hair if he could see this heart of mine. Something's Burning - Mighty Marvellows Break away from the hot steaming jungle. Valentines.

I remember a certain guy from over Wantage way taking a large case of records to the 100 Club and putting them out alongside the sellers - when people pulled out something they fancied and asked him how much - he said "oh no they're not for sale - I just bought them along so people could look at them". Dx

This is a notorious porky. Patrice Holloway was the lead singer of Josie and the Pussycats and Brenda went out with Willie Hutch when she was 14. Grandma from the Beverly Hillbillies recorded as Granny Ryan on Motown. Diana Ross and the Supremes recorded Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport (for an ill fated album called something like 'Motown Sings Songs From Around The World')... Bet THAT never sees the light of day. Joannie Mae Matthews gave up recording to concentrate on promoting the careers of her son and daughter and their group - Black Nasty. Sky Saxon, legendary loony front man of the Seeds, toured the southern states in the early-mid 60's as an RnB performer calling himself Little Richie - it's long been said that he was white - but is he the same one???????? My favourite BS story was that Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels were then group inside the Banana Splits suits - don't you just wish it was true! Dx

My first allnighter. Dx

Russell Acotts in Oxford were importing jazz and blues in the 30s (for the Dons - black music being a very intellectual pursuit early on) - I've heard it said that later they used to get RnB amongst the full-on blues (probably an 'oh bugger' accident on their part), certainly in my shortish time they had suprising things like the Luther album... It would even potentially fit with Roger Eagle (being from Oxford) getting his hands on stuff others couldn't get. Dx

As noted some a right but the number positions are confusing. Dx It all displays OK here Dave. Anyone else struggling? Regards, Dave

1. Inferno 5. Looks like Seafare Bo-Ro (Leaving Here - Jimmy Hanna) 6. Money The numbers seem mixed up - I'm sure you'll know the ones I mean. Trust Gene to get the Rampart - still own David and Rubin? Dx You're ONLY allowed three guesses so I took your first three. #1 - Correct.

Very sad news indeed (sorry about previous post - down to being called with the wrong info) - anyway someone I met when I first started going and have loved and respected ever since - will miss him greatly, though I rarely got to see him in recent times. Condolences Annie, RIP Mickey. Dx

The Block, The Bang, The Blues and The Fox if we're talking Mods.

Hope you are doing fine John. I believe it was all Jackie Day and certainly had a pic on the cover (like the french one - can't even seem top track down my copy of the French book to check what THAT one looked like) - but it was a long while back we were discussing it and an awful lot of brain cells have been fried to a crisp since then. Dx

According to Brian Rae there's 100% DEFO a UK Sue EP (believe it's even in the shot on that window display pic from a record shop in London in the 60s) of Jackie Day with a PICTURE SLEEVE (yes I know it's easy-ish without the sleeve) - but no-one's seen it. Gerri Hall 'Who Can I Run To' came out too I believe - don't know how rare that is, but it's the DB's. Dx

No! Use petrol lighter fluid - won't damage your record and is also the best degreaser going. Dx

Lord if you're a woman, Slowly Moulding and Hard roe to Hoe were the best biggies in the main room to me. Dx

'Soon be gone' by the Precisions.... Oh and 'Down is Up, Up is down' - the Delfonics is pretty trippy.

Absolutely brilliant allnighter - my favourite regular haunt - Pat Brady (amongst others) span some fantastic stuff as well. Dx

CM was my first nighter. Best live for me was Ray Pollard live at the 100 Club (before he did Yarmouth that weekend) - was always ambivalent towards much of his output him until that performance. Dx

Flogged my orange one to a Jap chap for £250 - paid 50p for it so couldn't resist - but wish I still had one. Dx

You gotta have Cheer Me Up by the Harlem Globetrotters - and sort of - Larry Wedgeworth - No More Games which was the promo song for the Boston Celtics. Dx

Is it me or have at least 2 bootlegs gone for well over £100 on there? Dx
