Merve

Someone got a bargain on Del Chontays. Half price I'd say.

I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I thought Rug Bowers had the first copy of Lester Tipton in early 77. He played it at The Rock Foundation in Rushden and lent it to be played at St Ives allnighter later the same night.

Agree with JV Peterborough/St Ives 77

Another that reminds of St Ives 1976. No idea where it was played first though.

Funny Girl LP. Must be fast version. Will pay £60 for a EX copy

Pal and the Prophets was pitched down and pressed as Star Odyssey. Must be pretty rare I'd guess.

Another one that started at St Ives covered up as Mike Post - Feelings. .... St Ives one of the most underated nighters in N.S. history IMO

Makes sense as some of the DJs were doing St Ives one week Cleethorpes the next. Ginger and Sam spring to mind. Edit Just thought of another one I only remember being played at St Ives in 76 was Sweet Breeze- Good Thing. Was that played at Cleethorpes too?

Had forgotten all about this one. I also remember it from St Ives in 76. Can't remember who used to play it but I can't recall it being played elsewhere either.

Cheers. Was only at £16 when I last looked on Monday.

What happened to The MBs ?

If there's a lucky dip of those five I'll be the poor sod that ends up with Georgie Porgie. 🫣

Whilst agreeing about Stafford the same could be said about Cleethorpes, St Ives, Yate, The Fleet, Clifton Hall etc. A lot of sounds from other venues pushed the scene into a fresh direction.

Spot on. I do enjoy reading his observations even though on occasions they differ vastly from my view for the very reason you have outlined.

Like I said Tony never claimed to have discovered it. He just brought it to the wider audience.
