Wiggyflat

A certain dj told me he sent off his white Tower demo of By Yourself to the states to be pressed....sometime later the boxes came back with a few thousand copies......but what they didn't do was to send the original back seperately .....oh dear!!

I'll pay 300 for one....ad rules say you can post sold but leave price sold at on.

What price was this at just out of interest?

And Johnny Harris was Lulus musical director...and Lulu did a really bad cover version of Little Hanls Try To Understand on Decca.

The singer of The Cheater was murdered by his wifes lover...

I've got one called Look Before You Leap by him...will have to give it another spin.

Dug this one out April 89 Blackpool

Wish I had kept the programmes instead of the passes..Do you want to see the lineups up to 96?

I'm sure I went to one or two before this though....Berwick??

April 1993 Northern still in the soulbase tucked away at 3.30 am..

April 1991 ...I'm not going mad...The Soul base 3 to 5 am northern soul with Clarkie and Searling.

March April 1990 soul and jazz rooms...

Right....the stuff I keep!! Here's some memory jerkers.March April 1990..

I thought Rocks Off was in Camden.Had loads of stuff out of there served by a woman wearing leopard print.Wasn't it Ted Carrolls shop? Had stuff out of Hanway St..Andy Neills shop.Ive a great article on Cheapo Cheapo in an old Blues and Soul with a picture of the stall...I had a boxfull of Tommy Hunt live at Wigan los out of the Cheapo shop and a few copies of the Loot soundtrack for a few quid each.

Yep he definately did at least one in there....i remember dancing to the right of the stage near the corner.Must have moved into the jazz room later on...I'm talking Southport.There was some grumpiness from the jazz dancers i was with when it moved into the jazz room as they wanted to hear Snowboy or Sylvester all night.Bacardi bar must have been later as my mate Simon Mansell tells me about deejaying in there.There was another scene in London called The Boogie scene...black geezers in leather trousers and all that.....Lloyd and the Boogie boys etc.

To Nick Harrison...yep the dealers were in the foyer oppsite the entrance doors.Jazz room to the left of that and soul room further up to the left.I'm not talking people walking round with records.I'm talking chatting to people who I would swap tapes with...just got in contact with one of them terry Seline from Driffield.Used to swap seventies slow records for northern.Richard definately did a northern set in the soul room.

I used to go to Southport for the Jazz room and used to pop my head into the Soul Room.The place was packed...there was a certain type eighties smart dress associated with it as well.I never liked the music although i remember once Dionne Warwicks Move Me No Mountain came on which wasnt bad.It was great for buying northern in there though as loads of people were getting rid of sixties stuff.Traded loads of seventies and eighties soul pack stuff in there for sixties.From memory the DJs were Jonathan.Yogi Haughton.Colin Curtis.Searling and Jonathan Woodcliffe.The music was the same tempo all night and I could only stomach 45 mins of it before leaving.I would be back there last knockings when Richard did a northern revival set.

I'm sure its by a band called Mozaik or something like that...I'm sure there's a Spencer Davis cover on the other side..good versions though....just got a record by De Hems..which has big Equals involvement.. good funky b side as well.

I know...that's why I need to get one quick!!

Missed out on this....anyone got a copy to part with ...in vg plus to ex cons.Pm me Thanks

Finally got around to digging this one out..1983..great pic with a wedged up soulie.. iconic 80s and still looks cool...

Teeside racecourse boot sale 1988 or thereabouts....oh that's a major Lance UK dwmo of Ain't No Soul...I've heard of this other group..The Game It's Shocking What they call Me...UK demo.I'll have a punt on both...that'll be a pound.I left the Beatles demos.Funny rhing is my mate had gone through them...nothing there Kev.Still got both.Best ever haul was in San Francisco... A few mint copies of Rhonda Davis..A copy of Melvin Elling..A copy of Benny Troy plus a holdall of other pieces all at 2 dollars 99 cents.He let me off with the tax.Got rid of the Melvin which paid my flight.

In the clip I posted which was from Tim.Browns book he describes it as a Washington sound...don't think its got anything to do with modern Go go.

John Vincent has confirmed that he did get all of Levines records on Tomorrow on pre release so they were played before general release.He has said there is a story behind it though and certain.people were not happy.

What I meant was would they get played as pre release as Tommy Hunt was and then get dropped from the playlist when they were on general release.I get my info from Russ and John Vincent...
