Kin-ell Salmon - how are you mate - do remember Ross, sad note that one mate. Also remember Sean and Billy from, Rochdale. Gill - are you on about the Gill that used to come with us - still see her now and again mate. Rumour that Cheesey died but never had confirmation - was told by both Russ and Mickey Power. Wish I had a picture of them pants! They were the biz Are you still going to soul nites? I was djing at the Stockport Guild Hall up until December when I 'retired'. Got fed up of everyone asking me for Prionce and Princess!!!! Funny thing about that record though a girl came up to me one night there and asked for it - said everywhere she went no-one had it or had heard of it so she was utterly amazed when I pulled it out the case and spun it for her. Didnt tell her the record title stole its name from a pair of pants worn by a handsome young youth many years ago Be good to see you again mate. Grant

Remember Siz now - didnt he used to dj at the Carousel/Belle Vue? Tony Justs - used to buy all me stuff (incl lots of boots in those days) from him. Used to be another market stall in the undergound sold some Northern too, although mainly punk stuff - they used to have records/sleeves all over the walls. Me and Tim got surrounded by punks there once - hilarious - bullshitted our way out of it though.

Hey they were cool Mandy - stsarted a bit of a craze off - a lad called Gary from Newcastle did the same - think his related to what was then the Nightwatch c/up - Ellingtons - Lips To Your Heart. My excuse or mitagating circumstances is that I was only 16 at the time

Dunno Mandy - always knew him as Mildoo - hung around near Sandy corner - knew most of his brigade. Think he collected LP's. He was a mate of Dave Holland and Anita And the sod used to take the p**s out of my balck baggies with 'Prince & Princess' embroiderd on the patch pockets!

anyone see/rememeber Michelle at the Casino - she lived in Salford, ginger hair in pigtails? also - couple of girls I went out with at Wigan - Sylvia from Ripon - hung around with the Leeds crowd, and Terry from Wigan - anyone know them/seen them? Saw Anita from Oldham about 5yrs ago now, not seen Dave Holland since Wigan. Another lad we used to know well at the Casino was Mildoo - think he came from Bolton? Grant

The Owls Effort Fanzine
As I've said in a previous post about RD on here, I was given the pleasure of being invited down to his house one Sat afternoon - so drove all the way down from Stockport - showed me all his stuff on shelves in a room upsatirs - dont remember all the tellys though. Got some great stuff off him too - anything in demand he was expensive but other stuff was cheap as chips.

Greatest Ever Floor Filler
Suppose a floor filler depends on region, venue, crowd etc - could imagine one or two tracks mentioned in previous posts on this thread (and faves of mine) emptying dancefloors at some soul nites I've dj-d at e.g. The Cautions, Vondells, to name but a few - remember clearing the floor with The Deadbeats & Drake & the Ensolids! Had to quickly recover with something like Peggy March Always seem to have been into tunes that emptied dnacfloors - gave me room to spin, splits etc
-
Gloria Jones
She did a good rendition of 'I Aint Going Nowhere' which I think came out on UK EMI - 76-ish? Oh and here duet with Marc Bolan on 'To Know Hoim Is To Love Him' aint bad too. Grant

Searchin For Tunes In The Usa
I would guess that there must still be plenty of records lurking in old stores, attics etc - converted our loft last year and found - old bed mattress, that painting of the Spanish woman, old adidas holdall (original, now that must be worth something), and Kerplunk - no rare soul tunes there! When over in the States in the late 70's (Springfield, Mass) me and my brother wanted to buy a lot of cheap Levis, trainers etc so our American host took us to a store in downtown Springfield somewhere. He parked up and then jogged top the shop leaving me and bro ambling along as you do - asking him why he ran he replied that you don't walk anywhere around here unless you want mugging or at worst shot! He forgot to tell us that bit before hje ran off. Record wise that trip didn't yield much, couple Darrell Banks on revilot, Richard Temple, and a couple more I can't remember, but didnt really look that hard as I was on a year out from the scene :angry:
