I now get my US purchases shipped to a mate in NYC and get him to send them to me in bulk. I get them shipped with tracking, but NO value on the customs form. Works a treat

Yep underground and nowt on it that Joe Public can read. But those in the know, know what it says

Surely should be a "Bluey" Plaque

Great recording! I wasn't there that night, due to being in basic training.But the playlist was very similar to just a few weeks earlier when I was there. Great times.

Real name Roberto Pares. He was a New Yorican. From New York of Puerto Rican descent

Kim and I picked him up from Manchester Airport and took him to Blackburn. He was a proper character and a genuinely nice bloke. I remember his nerves before going on stage. Then he was given a "straightener" by someone (I'll not say who) and the rest is history.

I can help with the Othello

You'd soon know if it wasn't a real car or house though

That's just a sly way of deflecting any criticism like this. Caveat Emptor and all that. However, to people who don't know, it makes it sound more authentic Shockingly shit way to behave IMO

Neither did he list it as a boot or 2nd issue or whatever the acceptable term is this week. It's fraud by omission in my eyes

Oh bugger. I'd better call them back then

We've always had people mentioning pop shite in the same breath as northern. It's nowt new. I remember over the years having arguments with people trying to associate stuff like Dexy's, Jo Boxers, Katrina & The Waves, Edwyn Collins and even that Weller effort with Northern Soul. It's not, it never was and it never will be. Simple!

True. But I think the number that would, would be in single figures

To be honest I don't think that either promoter would even spare a second thought for the other. They have very different ideas about what should be played etc. I have been to both promoters events and there is virtually no crossover between them whatsoever, either in terms of attendees or music played.

Ooops sorry. I will edit it out of existence

Best to have both

I wish I'd bid more now. I may have had a chance. But I really thought it would go for near £17k-£18k

What makes you say that?

I think it's early to mid 1978
