So here we go just HOW BIG is your collection ?

Our lad has just bought a new I pod thingy (his second) as he has 4,000 tunes on his first one.

This set me thinking about getting to the 4,000 Northern / rare mark took me about 15 years or so

Its took him 2 years-music daft now, but sadly only a smattering of soul amongst the Oasis / Killers/ Hendrix / Muse etc.

I will be shortly examining my collecting but its in the region of 15,000 45 s / pos 2,000 Albums / and another 1,000 CDs

so if you played everything there are possibly 70,000 tracks to listen to, obviously many duplicated on the CD s but still there.

So what's your opinion on size, I think mines too big, but its hard to part with a lot of them-however crap !

5 copies of Wayne Gibson for starterscould whittle it down to 2

I'd like to run at about 1,000 45s but don't think I can.

Any thoughts ?

Rob

Correct Herr Schlamp .

The B & S article on WC's 4th anniversary , states that IL and CC were among among the DJs who played there , following its' opening in the September of 1973 .

Knowig Colin as I do , it has never come up in conversations I have had with him relating to the 70s and venues , that he

" did " WC , hence leading me to think he did not ....... but I could be wrong .

As for IL , this is where the debate come in - did he or did he not ? I thought he did not ( see my statement in my original post ) , but again , it could have been on a night that I did not attend .

You were probably banned Godfrey

I remember Mrs Woods at the casino ticket office saying to the lad in front of me "Yes it has gone up 20p, BLAME MAGGIE THATCHER !"

Strange "Cashing in" is not on the soundtrack.......

Rob

Dare I ask anything Northern Comp wise on 8 track ?

Rob

Judy freeman and Blackrock "Hold on" is a hard one.....

The photograph on the wall reminds me of the one in the hotel in "The Shining" when Jack Nicholson is in the photo at the end...........

I think I just saw Garry Cape in that one....

Great clip

R & K.

Billy Jackson, writer of "If That's What You Wanted" and many other Philly soul greats?

Surprised no one said Michael

Well done Gareth, but it brings to mind how many "Jacksons" have made records and most of them Bloody good singers !

It's Chuck Jackson with Burt Bacharah and Hal David.

No idea who the suits are.

Miles out LOL

Give you a clue the singer is a Jackson

(and a wonderful man too)

Hope this works !!

Platters Sweet sweet lovin' / going back to Detroit UK Pye 45 wanted in Ex/ mint condition Pretty Smartish please !

Rob

There seems to have been a "reality Check" with prices from the original gumph

i'd like to wish all who are going and the organisers the best of luck with this-from small acorns mighty oaks do grow--

i'd looked early on and unless you "Camp" it was way too expensive

however with a bit of savvy it can be done at a reasonable price

Ive listen to wayne on BBC Radio2 and its all systems go--if my knee was in better shape and the battery not flat on the karrman Ghia I'd seriously consider it

HAVE A GREAT TIME ALL WHO ATTEND

Rob & Karen
