I remember going to Loughborough Town Hall one niter when the visit wasn't planned and it was a spur of the moment idea after we'd been on the beer. It wasn't a great idea as I was ill into a carrier bag in there and a mate of mine carried it out to the bins in the market square and I followed him for some air. Unfortunately the carrier bag had those little breather holes in it.............. One of those things you never forget! Cheers, Mark R

Thank you Mick, hope you're keeping well pal, been a while! Cheers, Mark R

I seem to have the patch from 5th Anniversary but I've got to say that I really don't remember it like I do the 2nd. That said I was only 17yrs 3mnths old at the 2nd and was just 1 year in to all niters, so you're not likely to forget nights like that which kind of shape your life musically! I've decided that my DJ set in the modern room at Carlton In Lindrick Civic Centre tonight shall include some Oddfellows faves and have packed the box accordingly. It would be rude not to!! Cheers, Mark R

Thanks for mentioning this, as I think about it annually as I do with Hinckley Ric-Tic Review which was my first all niter, but hadn't thought about it yet this year and as you say, it's 40 years back on Saturday. I'm sure it would have crossed my mind at some point but thanks anyway. Yes I did attend, pictured here sitting on stage top left, image lifted from the video..........aged 17, wedge haircut, cap sleeve T LOL Posting some memorabilia from my collection too, what a night! (flyers been carved up to adorn record boxes! LOL) Cheers, Mark R

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback! Cheers, Mark R

Thanks mate, hope you enjoy! Cheers, Mark R

Perpetual Motion cover-up for Sam, played it on my vinyl special on Starpoint Radio on New Years Eve (see my Music Box" link in Soul Media section if interested!). Cheers, Mark R

I did mate, from at one time as a young man thinking I would never own one, to finding myself with two!! Cheers, Mark R

I've got the other two I commented on above, sadly I may never own this......toooo much dollar now! Cheers, Mark R

Another "desert island disc" for me! Cheers, Mark R

.

Probably the best record ever. I actually don't think it's that rare, but nobody sells it, which says it all for me Cheers, Mark R

An earlier than usual heads up about this Sunday's edition of The Music Box on Starpoint Radio folks. As it falls on New Year's Eve it will be a departure from the usual format of new releases. So, join me between 12-2pm GMT on Sunday 31 December for a 70's & 80's Modern Soul/Boogie/Disco special, all from original vinyl out of the collection. No plan as such, just as they come out of the box, but the tunes shown here are certainly under consideration. Hope you can tune in and don't forget to drop into the thread on the Starpoint Radio Facebook group page via the link below, for some banter and a shout out. https://www.facebook.com/groups/199958950113223/permalink/6742827292492990/ Listen at www.starpointradio.com, TuneIn Radio app, Alexa, DAB, Sky Q, Fire TV, Free view, Virginia Media etc, etc.

*****SOLD***** Jalen Ngonda - Come Around And Love Me/What Is Left To Do - Daptone 7" Baby Blue vinyl version - Mint £60 + £5 first tracked post UK only (price for overseas post given on request) PayPal accepted but bank transfer preferred Happy New Year everyone! Cheers, Mark R

The best docu of its type on the subject to date I think. I would recommend reading the books Love Saved The Day, Last Night A DJ Saved My Life etc if you haven't already. It's all in there. And it was great to see Pt3 close with a mention for house music, or "disco's revenge" as some refer to it. Explains the significance of the title of this essential album if you didn't know already, which I guess could be considered a concept album of sorts, based around that neanderthal Dahl, his brain dead disciples and their antics. Cheers, Mark R

An extremely sad day, a top man, loved by all and a fellow red to boot. RIP Max Mark R
