ha ha yeah right

Mark Bicknell had one for sale, t'was a demo and £40 I think. Check sales for his list.

did he play it at Burnley, can't recall hearing it? not heard Karl Rhodes for a while.

been around good few years hasn't it? probably been forgotten.

If memory serves me right I think I told Kenny what it was and he got one for a few dollars of evil bay! Think we'd heard Neil Jones play it out covered up at the Norbreck weekender in Blackpool.

Not sure Trev but thought I'd seen this on a playlistvor two in recently? Not had any sustained turntable action in recent times to my knowledge but the memory ain't what it used to be Good record but can't see this appealing to too many Northern dance floors but you never know.

I can't remember t'other side and I don't have a copy no more to listen, sound file anyone? Used to give this plenty of spins late 80's early 90's missen!

me too. Gary Sole probably nearer £300 these days.

here's the two labels....

Mick's is on Menzola. I couldn't quite remember for sure even thought I have seen it so I rang him to double check. Can't tell you difference other than the colour, Menzola is a red label. Mick's only one I know of on that label, anyone know different? Menzola is first press as far as I know and Mick says the same.

Sounds like a good idea mate

I'm an ex smoker and can't stand them but IMHO they are having a detrimental effect on soul nights with some venues devoid of any kind of atmosphere due to the amount of smokers outside. Extraction (and a supply of fabreeze ) should be the way forward and an area set aside for smokers in the venues if you want my opinion, not an outright ban.

The Black Abbotts (Russ?) effort that was played.

I wrote to the Department of Health regarding the detrimental effect that the smokong ban was having on venues and other functions/eventsetc, just out of curiosity to see what shite they would reply with, if at all. Well they did and here is the response..... Thank you for your email of 25 November to the Department of Health about the smokefree legislation. I am sorry that you feel that the legislation has had a negative impact on your business. There is considerable international evidence from countries that have introduced legislation for smokefree public places and workplaces that the impact on the hospitality industry is not detrimental. Analysis and international experience shows that going smokefree can actually be beneficial to the hospitality industry. We must remember that almost 80 per cent of England's population do not smoke, and this represents a very large market. There is much evidence about the benefits to hospitality of smokefree legislation, but after the first year of being smokefree, New York City saw that: - Business tax receipts in restaurants and bars go up by 8.7 per cent; - Employment in restaurants and bars has increased by 10,600 jobs; - New Yorkers overwhelmingly supported the law; and - Tests showed that the air quality in bars and restaurants improved dramatically. There is also comparable evidence of the benefits of smokefree legislation for the hospitality industries in other countries including Ireland, and similar evidence is emerging in Scotland since their smokefree legislation was implemented in March 2006. Importantly, smokefree legislation will be good for the health of hospitality workers and patrons. The British Institute of Innkeeping's magazine recently said that: "...we are talking about banning the use of a carcinogenic substance which in enclosed spaces kills or damages the health of passive smokers?that means licensees and bar staff and customers. This is a scientific fact, and we should bear this in mind along with the economic arguments." I hope this information has been of help. Yours sincerely, **** ******** Department of Health

Mick H plays it out now and then.
