Ah, another normal day at the office stay cool everyone

Ask Greg, Stuart etc. They'll remember it well. It was a piss-take - but not funny if you were Ian or anyone else involved in The Rocket p.s. I did go to The Dome and I loved it though the cloakroom girl was a bit of a boiler

many people connected with Scenesville and The Dome made it their business to see that The Rocket failed solely because of Ian Levine's involvement. A rival allnighter was set up specifically to clash with The Rocket. Emails from Ian Levine were photocopied and blown up in size and posted all over The Dome. An anti-Rocket website was set up for all and sundry to slag off Levine and The Rocket.

Well...thank you

Not sure what this means but I haven't spoken or corresponded with Ian for weeks before he joined Soul Source so he's not pulling my strings like some Thunderbird puppet you can bet if I disagreed with him - or anyone for that matter - I would not be frightened to say so and never have been.

I don't remember The Rocket promotors setting up a website to try to kill off attendances at the Dome.

Superb singer - loved the record too til right at the end when the backing singers got too loud, but hey, I'm no record producer. Love the pizzicato strings at the end. Re the Sharleen Spiteri record - I like her voice and I liked the sound of that track, but I thought the song lacked a decent chorus. Pete Smith, Jukebox Jury, West Midlands

Let us know how you get on

This one was just a joke Steve, I do like it really. Hate Bobby Kline though. ANS was or is a Northern Soul forum helmed at one time by Ian Levine

Dunno but I wish he'd broke the rest of the copies

I do - I just don't buy them cos nobody buys them off me!

I know Ady, and it's years ago and is not important and I wasn't even there - but I'm just stating the fact that there was a very nasty website set up, as nasty as Neil Rushton setting one up just to slag me off when I criticised ANS (hello Neil )

So one of the biggest critics and sabateours of the Rocket is standing outside handing out his own flyers. What a brass neck. If it'd been my venue I'd have set fire to his flyers.

Mon Petite Chow is a great track - 25 quid tops though

Silly question but if he wasn't intending to go in, what was he doing outside the Rocket, just happened to be passing at the same time the nighter was starting did he? I must have also imagined a website set up called Stephensons Rocket who's sole aim was to undermine what was happening at The Rocket.

It does actually - sounds very like Grace Slick singing. No way is this worth more than £50.

One-liners mainly...

Who's going to go first then?

The MGM one is pretty common. The Decca stock copy is the rarest Beatles 45 I think.

I had one for sale about a year back, it's very girl-group sounding, forget the title now - anyway, her grandaughter contacted me asking if I'd still got it, which I haven't, just wondered if anyone else had a copy or knew where she could get one from?

What, from the original post? - didn't realise, it's 2 years old this topic!

Theres another variation of this -it's got a dip going down towards the middle, I remember buying it from Max's in 76 - 8 quid!!! I thought it was an original. Pretty sure it was mono / stereo There's also the much more common styrene pressing obviously.

I'd have thought it was worth 250 to 300 quid personally

Moderators took it down (temporarily). Looks like the few spoiled it for the majority.
