  1. When/where did the practice of putting the sounds of the day onto the clubs flyers first start and when did it end?
  2. We got in through the roof on more than one occasion (kid you not) And we also hid in a "cupboard" after the early session until the nighter started! Young, foolish and happy, eh.
  3. I remember Kenny Spence once playing Muriel Day, by the end of it (i think he let it reach the end) there was about three people left on the floor, he took it off and snapped it in two whilst saying "just to make sure it doesn't get played again". A round of applause rang out!
  4. The Pallbearers, Music with Soul, They should have been done under the trades description's.
  5. I'm on my way Dean Parrish I wont coming back JD Bryant I'm Gone Eddie Parker And from the first wife Laugh Laugh Laugh The Butlers
  6. Was JM having a sly dig at anyone in particular with his description of the Eddie Parker record?
  7. Is it just me or do other people after coming across a "new tune" and after listening to it quite a few times and having it spinning around in your head and then thinking it's the greatest northern tune of all time you fight yourself from listening to it (like you can do at the touch of a button in these modern fangeled days) so the freshness/ hairs on the back of your neck/novelty doesn't wear off?
  8. Thinking back to the first time you came across "Northern" be it at your local Youth Club or even a bigger venue did you come away thinking there was some great music played there but tunes A, B , and C where shite? Probably not, so does it come down to over exposure or to just becoming more educated?
  9. Remember Edwin Starr, Contact, being played in the main room at the Casino early 79 by a big name Dj and it was still rattling about in the lower reaches of the charts.
  10. Just looked at the book price for Leon Haywoods Baby Reconsider "on our favourite on line price guide" and he's got the issue @ £100 and the demo @£175. I'm sure i looked fairly recently and it was up near the £800 mark? Is there a mistake? Did i dream it? Or would that be a regular revaluation?
  11. That's the Invisibles, "now you see it now you....."
  12. In the last few days i noticed a record for sale on ebay usa, (book price £150) which sold for around $80, then a day later noticed another copy by the same seller up for auction. (Described in the same condition, M-) Having looked at his feedback it shows he's sold at least 6 copies in the last 2 months, a quick look at popsike and another record auction info site shows no mention of any of them. Would there be a innocent explanation for this?
  13. It makes me smile when I read quite often how we were "fed some right shit" back in the day, but surely somebody must have been dancing/ listening/showing some sort of appreciation of said shit or it wouldn't have lasted more than a spin or two at the most. Or can the blame be laid at the feet of "the divs" who invaded "the scene" when the genie escaped out of the bottle?
  14. He must save his "G" rating for when he's selling the hole in the middle!
  15. I bet it's a long leather with jokes that old!
  16. Remember RS playing CW on his radio show a good few years back, he didn't introduce it but when it finished he just said "you had to be there", summed up perfectly me thinks
  17. Sorry, just seen the replies (shouldn't have gone for my tea before replying)!
  18. Hi, it went for $3383.00 USD
  19. I have been wondering is there anybody out there who is old enough/lucky enough, or just daft enough to have visited all the major soul venues from the Wheel through to say Stafford, taking in the Torch, Cats, Wigan, Mecca, et al. It would surely be a bigger "claim to fame " than having say visited all 92 football grounds or other "i've done that" badges of honor?
  20. I've just attended a do and the Dj was playing bootleg mp3s on an original laptop, where does he stand?
  21. The George Gently memorabillia spin offs have hit the net Gently does it
  22. According to the"book", RCA DJ copies are £300, issues £200.
