If I remember rightly, it came out here first on one of those cheapo cover records, then was picked up by the Italian store for a giveaway. Not sure where I read it but there's a good chance it was on here.

Most Bizarrely Pressed Record I've Ever Seen
Been racking my brains to try & remember but I haven't seen the record for about 30 years, I either binned it or left it behind at my Mum & Dads when I moved out.

Yeah, I read that as well. I think I also read that it was on one of those cheapo Avenue 7"ers with 6 cover versions on.

Pete Waterman Northern Soul
Just googled it, it was produced by the blokes out of M People. So Pete Waterman's not guilty of this attrocity.

I'm sure I heard the producers of TWPYB on the radio (R Searling?) once, and it wasn't Stock Aitken & Waterman.

Acrobatics
Didn't it start after Alvin Cash & the Crawlers appeared at the Wheel? That's what my mate who went from 67 on told me, not sure if he's going from memory or what it says in the Twisted Wheel book.

Top Rank Suite, Hanley, Soul On Trent
Yeah, it's Sharron who took the photo, but she hasn't been with Tim for years. I still see Suzanne Bloor & Carolyn quite often, Yvonne lives abroad, still see Doris & Annie but they're not together anymore, haven't seen Mary for years. Paul (Pablo) Charlsley lives in Australia, Last saw him about 2 years ago when he was over to see his parents, think they live in Scotland now though. I saw TD recently and amazingly he looked really well.

Apparently Tim Ashibende used to sell records from a back room at the Town Road shop, Keith may have done the same but unless his memory's gone he didn't have owt to do with it officially.

As far as I know Derek owned it & Phil was the manager. Some people have said this was before he was at the Arcade shop & others have said it was after, I would have said before but my memorys not that good. Yeah he used to run a northern night at The Birches Head Hotel, I remember seeing an advert for it in an old Blues & Soul. Before my time though, around about 72 -73 I think. I've been at Wigan a couple of times when he was there, and also Yate at least once, but you're right, he wasn't properly on the northern scene, at least during the time I knew him. When Phil died a few years ago we had a memorial do for him & Derek turned up for that, he wasn't well at the time, not sure if he's still with us himself.
