The bloke at the top second from the right looks like that guy from the apalling BBC sitcom 'Game On'...(on the left of the picture below)

If you cast your mind back Gavin was booted off a while back for expressing his opinions under his real name so he has obviously had to use another name. I bet his posts are removed from this thread. I guess he taped the sets at the Rocket more or less in revenge for certain people sabotaging the event when it was originally set up. Whether you think thats pathetic is neither here nor there, but so what...he hasn't killed anyone for Gods sake. It would be nice to actually see someone else putting their point of view. I like Gavin a lot anyway, he would be very interesting to have around on here.

Here it is

Cletus...what a fantastic name. I wish I had a friend named Cletus. In fact I just wish I had a friend

I was actually going to do a thread about artists names but never got round to it...artists with names that, if they went to school in the UK would have been bullied like nobodys business...even a relatively normal name like Herbert Hunter, can you imagine the stick a Herbert would get in your class? Or a cecil? especially a Pervis! Pervis Herder. Cecil Washington. Herman Lewis. Calleen Anderegg. Rufus Lumley. Youngblood Smith. and so on and so on.

It's not just that - he'd write one line about a record then another 500 lines on how the artists and all black people were being repressed...sorry, just never enjoyed reading his babble I'm afraid.

I am indeed one of life's tender plants

And I still wouldn't understand what he was on about.

The word 'soul' should follow the word 'modern' oh pedantic one.

Bought 2 copies of this at Wigan. Price was always £8. Not £10, but always £8.

There's a couple of unreleased 10" acetates which some might like, loads of cheap northern bits, some ska and some bizarre pop and beat things but it's mainly soul stuff...the acetates are right at the end of the listings and there are sound clips available..oh there's also a copy of the Simon Soussan price guide book! The link takes you to page 3 of 3 by the way https://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfrppZ100QQfr...Zmayfairmenthol

It was a very shortlived subsidiary of Direct records which also had Doctor Bird and Rio. The only ones I know to are: 02 - owen gray 03 - chubby & the honeysuckers(!) also came out on Rio 04 - laurel Aitken - how can I forget you I don't know what issue 1 was and I doubt if there are any others...short sound clip enclosed of the owen gray. My other copy is currently being played out covered up I think.

I've got about 20 messages in there to read mate, sorry, desperately trying to work out some way to make some money after all this ebay business. Don't think I know it. I have heard one belting northern dancer by Patsy on D.Bird. Have you ever heard this one ?? Have only ever seen this twice - first one with no centre I sold for £30, turn the pitch up a little and it's a very interesting r&b dancer.

I could use this mate, I've got a load of rock & roll and 60's beat I'm sorting out this afternoon if you want to have a look...

Yeah I reckon you're right because it really was expensive back then. I remember this girl I was going out with when I was 14, she bought me some after shave (like I'd started shaving!) and it was Old Spice, I was gutted. Actually this is in the wrong topic because this is about dave Godin, a man who obviously had no use for aftershave going by his photo in B & S, but back in the 90's when I lived in Hastings, there was this dotty old couple underneath my flat, their flat always stunk of cooked sprouts for some reason...anyway one Xmas she gave me a bottle of after shave and I swear she must have had it for 20 years because it was HAI KARATE. And you know what, it smelt gorgeous!!

No mate, it's just things set it off, must happen to loads of people, you hear a song or see something and it reminds you of something else. Tell you what, was in the Co-op in Sedgley today getting some dog food and they had this display of like bog-standard mens products like Lynx and Old Spice, and I saw a bottle of Brut, so I thought, shall I have a sniff. So I opened the top and had a quick sniff of this Brut and no word of a lie, it transported me right back to 1972-73. At that time Brut really was the bees knees and it was expensive as well - 50p for a tiny bottle - and we used to go to Wolverhampton baths on a saturday morning then go into beatties afterwards just to get a spray from the Brut tester bottle. This went on for months until one day when someone - Dave Webb actually - sprayed me in the eye with brut and I staggered into the display, knocking everything flying, and had to be taken to the eye hospital! So I guess for most people, the smell of Brut reminds them of opening the double doors to the main room at Wigan, but that was brut mixed with sweat so it doesn't really count as the pure Brut experience. Splash it on all over.

No that was Jack Skellington. What a great film that is. Got it on dvd but have never been able to watch it as it reminds me of my daughter so much - not that she looks like one of the characters, we used to watch it together all the time. In fact I doubt if I'll ever be able to watch that, or Thomas The tank Engine ever again

If you click on Such Misery it plays Keep On Keeping On !

Oh okay, if you say so is it like the Plan 9 From Outer Space of soul films?

Have you actually see this film? Where are you getting the low budget thing from? It's anything but.

Actually that sounds like Get Ready..

Heres a good uptempo dancer from the 5 heartbeats soundtrack
