We recently sold British Stateside copy for £70, Tamla Motown copy of Isley Bros about £40 I think. Alan

Best wishes to Nige from everyone who was expecting to see him at Bisley this Sat. Everyone wishing you well - big Keith Barnes from the South Coast standing in for you, Derek hoping you'll be happy to play later in the year. Regards, Alan

Dave, couple of good tracks on Cameo. "Envy" nice track, but not cheap. Good cheapie, mid tempo is " I Aint Coming Back" about £15. Alan

I remember Billy Paul, dont recall his dj spots, but do remember him helping us out when we had the car broken into one Sat night. Had window smashed, jacket & £5 nicked - nice bag of records not nicked!!! Alan PS. Anyone remember a guy from Lostock, Bolton - not a DJ - called Dave Perry? Was one of my best mates in M's in those days.

Mark, Mr Ms was my favourite place in the world 75/76. Always had great atmosphere, good crowd & great oldies. Heard a lot of the older stuff in there, very good times. Got me bloody shivering now!!!! I have a photo of Mike Rolo about 74 ish at Top Rank Reading, with hand cupping a girls right boob!! Nice guy, RIP. Alan Shame on you Hippo, my happiest nights mate - Mr Ms & Yate!!! Alan

I havent any memorabilia from that either, got Edwin Starr photos from other shows etc. Jackie Wilson was May 75, disappointing, but i remember dancing on a table on the balcony - high on life maybe!! I have a good Jackie Wilson live photo, black & white, will try to scan it & post up. Alan Paul, The night i remember her performing was definitely April 75, not long before Jackie Wilson night. Alan

Mick, the first Edwin Starr show I saw at Wigan was October 74, I think, not long after 1st Anniversary. Always a great performer, plus the usual 2 extra hours when a live act was on. Happy days!!!! I was at the Betty Wright night aswell, although didnt really watch the show as we'd already seen her midweek at Reading Top Rank, a great show though. Alan.

Mark, I've also got a British Decca issue if you dont get one. Alan.

There are some boots of Chris Clark - Somethings Wrong doing the rounds with Gladys Knight - The Stranger on the other side. 2 nice tracks. Alan.

Col, Wouldnt have suited you mate, plus going to Wigan was enjoyable - tattoos hurt!!!! Al.

I always favoured the card sleeves with the plastic liner, like you used to get in Rumbelows etc. Dont know if you can still get them? Alan

Must be 2 of the best northern instrumentals big boy, i'm liking the instru of Flirtations - Stronger Than Her Love & Funk Bros - Sweet Thing at the moment. Alan

Hi, I bought a British Columbia copy about 1975 from a mate having a bit of a sell off, hadnt heard it, just took a chance - as you do. Well worth it, great record, dont remember hearing it at northern nights, maybe at the 6Ts nights in London before the 100 Club started. Alan

Think Clarkie probably taped it from Tony Ellis copy which got played at Yate. Tony still has it I think. Alan

Been scratching my head about it for a while - heard it on radio in car a while back but missed the title!!! I should think its on the CD from the prog. Alan

I well remember turning down a copy at Peterborough about 1978, cos it was a bit scratched - thought I'd try & find a better one!!! Not really collecting now, but finding that might make me start again.Have made do with an emidisc since about that time. I think Tonys mate Tone played at at Yate, late 70s. Alan

Blimey!! Literally just taken this off the turntable. Great track, most of these Motown tracks also lead back to the "cheap oldies" threads, all value for money compared with some of todays big tunes. Alan

All good wishes for a speedy recovery Nige, Mark Bicknell has it right - the scene will still be there when you're ready to get back to it. Regards, Alan.

Sorry to hear that mate. Thought I was doing well when i bought a pile of records a while back with copy of Bobby Womack in. All cheap so didnt look at them too closely. Guess which was the only cracked one?? Alan.

Thought I was doing well selling one for £12!!!! Got another one aswell, cant possibly be worth £50 - can it? Alan.

Still got both of these, my This is Sue still got the 14/6 price sticker on. Happy days at the Church Hall youth club !!! Alan. ps. Must admit to first EP being Thunderbirds - nice picture cover!!!
