A mate of mine used to have UK cbs demo with labels reversed, so the "Kid" was actually "Holiday". steve

???? mitchell? plugging new 4 cd set on NS, Wigan, Mecca, Torch & Wheel, played Glories and Tony Middleton that i heard, 4.30 -5.00. made driving lot nicer than some of crap played on national radio. steve

Cruise ship last saturday evening, just done Monte Carlo, having light early lunch and topping up on the bacardis, "Flasher" playing from sound system behind bar. can't remember last time i heard it or really wanted to ;-) steve

Norman Daynes was the shop, had loads of lps & 12s outside. shops still there but just deals in elctrical stuff & wools/patterns. got few nice bits from there when they cleared vinyl out. steve

Only made Cleos once after a long weekend: Samanthas friday night, Forest at Oldham sat afternoon, wash and change before the Mecca, then off to Wigan before ending up at Cleos. right boll*kin off me mam 'cos i'd not told her where i was ;-) steve

Leeds Queens hall 1974. Can't remember the actual date, but the Eurovision song contest was the same night!!!!! It was feckin' awful apart from Major Lance, JJ Barnes, Mel & Tim, and The Hearts of Soul?????. The Funky Sisters were billed, but didn't turn up. There was no dance floor. just concrete. The sound system was abysmal. the gear was crap! By 5 am the condensation was dripping from the glass roof covering you with yellow crap. So you were covered with concrete dust at the bottom & tar/nicotine at the top. could have been awsome. It wasn't. Paul ................................ My first niter, two busloads from Mansfield made the trip, organised by Phil kingswood from Syd Booths. Mel and Tim were best artists on the night for me. place was crap, too big for any real atmosphere, still went to second one though! steve

Lenny, sent you pm. steve

Two copies of Soul Communicaters at dayer in Hull in 80's from same guy, £2 change as well ;-) steve

Wide awake in a dream -anyone Steve Preferably Phillip James though!! .......... thought i'd post this up but can't find it at moment, or Jerry Jacksons. only one i can lay my hands on is Alton Ellis' at moment. steve

hiya Bully, long time no see. wish Tats happy 50th for me, not seen much of him since he moved. steve

big dee irwin - you satisfy my needs - stateside copy going with me! toby legend - time will pass you by dena barnes - if you ever walk ot of my life steve

think so, never had Petes though as already got dvd with msic cd when it came out. the Temptations - sex, drugs and rhythm and blues, the unfogettable true story of one of motown's hottest acts, based on book by otis williams. run time 96 mintes. steve

anyone not got one of these yet as they're available from Tesco for 97p. steve

best artist EVER at the Topper, imho, Raymond Froggatt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did it have half a car in when it changed to Woodys? seem to remember vaguely something like; first met Eric Phillips there, used to mend my jukebox. steve

Not Stu Morris, Big bald Geezer? If so he used to run the Pretty Windows in Snienton. - last time i saw Stu was at Peggers, held a Soul nite there occasional sundays, came out there once and coppers everywhere on roads, some bloody fool tried to land plane on M1 ;-) Stu ran bouncers round Notts and was regularly at Astoria, few decent nights there as well early 80's. steve

great selection in Fountain and probably one of few jukebox in country where you cold hear Eula Cooper - Let Our Love Grow Higher. steve

went to mates 50th there last year for a meal, and popped in few dinner times before. meal bit on expensive side but good value as there was plenty of it, my opinion anyway. no room for dancing but mainly northern played, either from cd or on jukebox. nice flyers/posters on walls, worth a visit. Stateside Steak Bar. cheers steve

here again for you Simon. tymes___way_of_the_crowd.mp3

posted a soundfile earlier in year of Tymes version, few downloads bt no comments about it if i remember correctly. certainly grew on me, great version. steve

from https://www.geocities.com/spikeopath/folgerdisco.htm Barbara Mills "You don't have to be in love" *Dan W. Folger Unreleased. bet this would have been nice. Way of the Crowd, all time classic imho. steve

never found much whilst working over there few years back, found more in the Hague, few shops there. bits like R Dean Taylor "Ghost" on Rare Earth. waiting to pay and flicked through box and pulled out TSU Tornadoes Atlantic demo for 5 gilders. never got round to going back but convinced theres stuff there, lot of US air bases nearby ;-) steve
