  1. Very true Steve , but given the amount of information they now have literally at their fingertips then there's no excuse for them getting those fingers burnt once in a while , just sheer laziness as far as doing a little simple research is concerned. Only from the lazy wannabees that can't be arsed to do a little research ...
  2. I find it hard to believe that there's anyone buying records on this 'scene' in 2024 that doesn't know the difference between a 'large 45' and 'small 45' Okeh single , it's one of the first things you learn when starting out ...
  3. The listing's still there at 07:45 , sitting at $551.00.
  4. I see more drinks on the dancfloor in one picture in the article than I've seen altogether in all the years I've been out and about , and even the 'blokes' have got handbags FFS ...
  5. But according to the latest info norvern died when Wigan closed in '81 , it never happened anywhere else before or after until Bristol revived it last year ...
  6. From someone who's been defending this charade of 2nd rate cover versions I find that last sentence rather amusing to say the least. I'll stick to lingering in dark corners with the "car-thieving-drug-taking-riff-raff" that I know and love thanks all the same.
  7. You failed to spot that the "glass of fizz" was offered for punter's use after the nosh ...
  8. I went to a 'local' charity event a few years ago to show willing so's to speak. Aside from the cloud of Johnson's that engulfed the room everytime "Sharon" and her mates waddled onto the floor , pints in hand , the clincher was the music stopping halfway through to allow a massive pizza delivery to be spread on a waiting table and a "buffet-stampede" to ensue ... The heady mix of talc and pepperoni had me skedaddling in an instant ...
  9. There'll be 'Northern Soul' cruises up and down the Leeds & Liverpool canal soon. With an all-night stopover at Wigan Pier halfway ...
  10. Judging by its target audience that should read "Hospital Radio" level ....
  11. So you mean Bobby Paris and the Salvadors aren't played out ... ? And I think it's more akin to being in the studio when a bunch of anonymous UK session musicians and unknown amateur singers were banging out those awful Top of the Pops LPs , full of 2nd rate cover versions of chart records.
  12. For anyone that thinks that Henry Cavill should fill Daniel Craig's boots as 007 , I can confirm that after watching him in "Argylle" that he really doesn't have what it takes to play the role. "Argylle" is a pleasant enough waste of an hour or two , but it ain't a Bond class outing by any means ...
  13. I'm sure there'll be plenty of the northern soul clown suits pulled out of the dressing-up boxes on show ...
  14. For the perfect accompaniment at a farce like this it could surely only be Johnny Boy Pryers ...
  15. Not at £75 for a soul night it hasn't , nor has anywhere else ...
  16. Yes , on all dates bar the anniversary ...
  17. I must be getting old and intolerant ... ... I've yet to find any offering on BBC3 that I can stomach ...
  18. And lots more besides ... https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0940192/
  19. The position of the stamp is not fixed. But its mere presence denotes an original.
  20. You couldn't have put it better Andy , the perfect word.
  21. Not a record I'd be advertising on my CV ... It's a pity he didn't put down his instrument and pick up a microphone , He might have made a better vocalist than Maggie ...
  22. Put a list up on here , and let us at'em ...
  23. Tried it last night , sent me very quickly into a much needed deep sleep ...
