I saw Keith (he didn't see me) in an Indian in New Haw with his wife and kids Yes they were pretty crazy kids alright...........................

Mike Ritson and I did some research on this yonks ago, I can't remember the complete outcome but it appears to be a re-issue after Constellation went bust and BS made copies, sort of personl demos and tried to hawk them around the record companies trying to get a national release. A bent 70s boot is it not.......................................

Then you must have known Pete & Keith Hussey ? They all used to go down to the Portsmouth Marina too, an all-nighter. I lived in Walton-on-Thames for a bit and yes the Atta did have a pointy roof, well done !! The floor of the Atta used to bend if too many people came on to it and started moonstomping There was one bloke (I'll think you'll find his name on this thread somewhere) from Addletsone who, for a southerner had quite a tasty collection in 1970 Can't remember his name, Steve something meethinks.

Never made the Wooden Bridge but did do the Plaza at Guildford circa '69 boy did they ever play some great soul music as a young a 16 year old lad growing up (still disputed:lol: ) it really sorted me out as a music lover Even older the Woking Atalanta reckon about 1968-ish

Paul, thank you so much, the Tightrope was exactly what I was looking for, we'll use it for the main label scan in the article. I know exactly where I was when that re-issued, I heard it on the radio and hummed for about 3 weeks solid Very impressed with Darrell Banks on London, reckon the scan alone must be worth a grand !!! I'll be in touch, thanks again everybody.

Thanks Roger, is the 202606 the Ist release and the 7463 the 2nd issue ? Chris
