Thanks. That's great. Knew Ss would be quick

Info on the track. All we need is time for love, label etc Cheers Chris

Can somebody give me the matrix for an original Duke Browner. And other pointers to an original Ta Chris

Copy of Babe Ruth, Elusive, on a white demo, anybody please Chris

Question. As anybody ever compiled a list of dodgy eBay sellers or others that you think we should avoid, Chris

I was always wary of that revolving dance floor. It was bad enough trying to dance never mind the floor moving as well. Around 73 when I first started going with my mate Trev. Spent most of the time propping up the bar. Didn't seem very well supported back then and often it was quite empty. Got my first intro into Worthington E down in the Bali Hi. No wonder I hate beer. Lol. Was never interested in who was d jaying only what was playing. Brit club on Friday night was priority though and if we could be bothered afte work we did the Palais on Monday. Good memories Chris

Been listening to a record on the Internet. Long shot I know but it seemed the title was. Give the love, heal the land. Had a great beat. Was listening on Soul allnighter soul station based in Germany. Driving me crazy. Have a sound bite on my phone so if you pm your number I'll play it for you. Anybody Chris

Did it have Promo copy written on it? The one I'm looking at as a moulded label and not paper but the dead wax is nearly as large as the actual recording

Quick question. Was Virginia Wolves. Stay, pressed up Chris

We're very well thanks Bazza - yes the return of Hollingwood starting properly on the 1st Saturday in January and then every month: Chris and Mort have decided to start again! I will send you a PM about it in a bit more detail Sharon X

Aup Bazza! Hope you're doing ok? I had to smile when I read your post because its rife isn't it? People claiming to have been here , there and everywhere, being DJs for God knows how long, being mates with certain people because they think it gives them some credence in the eyes of others etc etc... I just think they must be very very sad people with no history to their boring lives that they have to make up stories to big themselves up. Just off topic a bit but someone I have known for many many years has acquired a completely different past to the one I know he had even gaining a degree along the way when I know he never went near a university or could have actually ever completed one!!! Some people just make you laugh!! Take Care Bazza - hope to see you around soon : Perhaps at Hollingwood? Sharon X

Can anybody help me with info on the James Bynum tune Love Music. Was played at Cleethorpes back in the day. Heard it at Skegness this last weekend.

Ill Take Johnny Mae Matthews please Chris

Terry: If you`re not that bothered about being asked to DJ `round and about` or numbers being negatively effected at the Phoenix, then try and be constructively positive or contradict the views of some people and you will see how positively promoters take on your assistance in trying to point out their flaws. If you are interested inn getting Dj spots and having a good number through the doors of your venue then I think the advice of keeping `yer gob shut` is sound !! Sharon

Hi Ill Take Perlean Gray of your hands

And then theres the situation of certain `big names` not wanting to be on the same bill as another DJ a Tez? or the `Big names` followers not attending as they don`t like another DJ on the same bill which would unduly effect attendances. This politics game(or shall we call it ostracising certain DJs) isnt easy from the outside or the inside is it? This leads to the incest becoming more and more disturbing as the pool of `acceptable` DJs could get potentially smaller and smaller. Sharon

Loved it every time....Missed it badly....looking forward to it....Lots!!!!

Hi Pete Enjoy your time `just` being a punter! Sorry to hear your news and how upset you are. As you know we were regulars at Bentinck in the `early` days and due to our personal reasons we haven`t been attending local venues for a good while now (albeit the odd one or two occasionally)but have some good memories of Bentinck in its heyday and how popular it was. Hope to see you out and about sometime. Take care X Sharon and Chris

I know theres no answer to the perennial problem of people in the majority of local venues (local to me that is)only wanting to hear, and dance, to the same old,but how can people from different parts of the country come together at a weekender and still only want to hear the same stuff? Is there some type of communication going off which tells local promoters in differing areas of the country what to play?I know its been a topic discussed to death on here over the years - in that why cant new stuff be introduced and hence become part of a new set of stuff to hear so that people become used to hearing new tunes and, who knows, may like them and actually get up and dance to them? I heard a set of about 4 hours yesterday that had one or two records which were new to me but the majority I knew, granted the rest of the people in the room just sat and looked on but surely the right beat, rhythm and `proper` northern sound to these tunes should get people up or at least look slightly interested?! I just cant understand it but then again perhaps I`m from a different mind set!! Sharon

Somebody somewhere must have a copy of, Watch Out Little Girl, for sale please

Im sure he will remember Ian and Phil! It would be great if you could get something on there for us old timers who were regulars. Had a great dance floor back in the day, and stage. My mum cleaned there and one day I went with her and I sang `Bobbies girl` from the stage to her and her friends! - I was 4 so I have some long standing memories of the place!!!! Keep me posted please. Sharon

Hi Mal You`re right: just up the drive from Nuthall Road- I lived just 200yds away ! Rob Smith was the DJ when I went -On Tuesday nights as far as my old memory serves! Spent some great times there and it was there I met the lads who I first went up to Wigan with: Ian Walker and Phil Smith X

Early summer1974 - Basford Hall Miners Welfare or Creepers as we all knew it as. Can`t remember the first one exactly but I remember Reparata and the Delrons `Panic` being played that same night though: Probably wouldn`t have attempted to dance to that then as its a bit on the rapid side: Come to think of it I don`t think I`ve ever attempted to dance to it!!! Sharon

I haven`t had time to read through all the padt postings but thought I would add one or two pictures of Chris and myself in our `Northern soul` heyday period! Showing the hair do`s, bags (carry type not trousers - that were de rigeur..) and a dress I wore to Wigan (never liked to be a `follower` as you can see) also a pic of us returning from Cleethorpes (travelling home clothes - showing a military style blouse I wore)
