Col, have you played the other side?? Alan

Before Reading moved to the new ground the team used to come out to Andre Brasseur - The Kid. Alan

Paul, That is truly terrible, all your cred just gone straight down the wotsit!!!!! If everyone's honest we've all owned bad records in the past - dont know if i've owned any that bad mind!!! Alan

PM with sort of stuff they like and an address, will send some this week. All the best, Alan

Great record, must be one of their best, surely!!! Been playing Four Tops - Dont Bring Back Memories, today, more great value for money. Alan

Happy to send your friends a batch of CDs. There isn't much lower than a burglar is there? ! Alan

I used to go to Abingdon - nice local all nighter - still took all day Sunday to get home!! That would have been Steve Jeffreys from Aldershot, now dead. Younger brother Gary was well known, but killed in a car crash coming back from Whitchurch all dayer in 1978. Alan

Obviously got the same taste in oldies mate!! Other side is nice track aswell. Been playing lot of records today, never get tired of The Admirations - Dont Leave Me. Alan

Didnt go to the Mecca till 1975, totally different to Wigan. Think I was too much into the Wigan thing to really get the Mecca. Had some great (mad!) weekends when Wigan oldies started on Friday, go to Blackpool Sat morning, Mecca Sat evening, back to Wigan for Sat all nighter. Happy days!!! Alan

Thank Christ thats the last one tonight Pete. Yvonne Baker was playing 1st time I walked through the doors into Wigan - 74, Tainted Love - too much for me, got me all emotional now!! Only one missing tonight must be Paul Humphrey - Cochise, also shit now, but how BIG then. Must have been played 5 or 6 times a night. Just going to dry my eyes now, Alan

Barry White production alright, was one of his first I think. B & S 1971, remember nicking it from shop I did my paper round in!!!!! Some good stuff on President - also love Duettes - Every Beat of My Heart. Alan

Nice oldie selection there mate. Love that James Bynum, havent heard that for a while. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alan

Love the old photos mate, especially when you know the people, then & now. Tony Ellis has been threatening to post up his old photos since I put a 1974 pic of him & me onsite a while ago. Memories eh!!!!! Alan

Hi, Got a blue label copy for sale in nice condition, £15 including postage. PM me if interested. Alan

Chunky, couldnt agree more mate. Sweet Thing one of my Motown faves, but How Can I makes this an item for the "best double sider" thread. Best Motown demo in this collection but unfortunately no centre. Best offer to date £175. Alan

Must be one of the best ever double-siders, Willie Hutch, surely? Oldie but goodie - Moses & Joshua Dillard - Get Out of My Heart / My Elusive Dreams - Mojo re-issue. Alan

JOHNNY WYATT - THIS THING CALLED LOVE - one of the very best Northern Soul records of all time - in my opinion of course!!! Alan

***** PRICES INCLUDE RECORDED DELIVERY, OVER £50 INCLUDE SPECIAL DELIVERY ******

Certainly knew Rob Anthony, other names dont ring a bell. Used to know Yogi, Sparky, Steve Wiliams, few others names I cant remember now. Saw Steve W. at Weston all nighter before Xmas. Alan

Steve Harrington was mate of mine 1974 ish, used to pick him & Gill from Blackwood area up when they were hitching, on M6. Will try & post up some photos of "welshies" from Wigan. Alan

Dave, thanks for those, will dig those out this week. Another nice cheapie - INDEPENDENTS - I LOVE YOU YES I DO - WAND. Great thread this, cant beat a quality cheap record!!! Alan
