RIP Marva.Sad news indeed.Well Nev,you beat me to "Ball of fire".Doffing my cap to this one for Marva.

Please Ian....not Donna Coleman!! Ruined my Chrimbo you have.

Any connection with the Fantaisions releasing "Where the action is" on the flip of "Unnecessary tears"?

I agree with you.

The trouble is Aid,bad news sells.

Gordon,you are not a youngster anymore.Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.Merry Christmas btw.

You paid £600? I'll give you £800 if its not in working order.Merry Christmas btw.

They did say the scene was dead when the Mecca went disco.And there was no internet when i first got the bug to go to niters,which was before the 80's doldrum years. I think you young un's are a good thing.Anyone under 40 is a blessing,under 30 and i feel old. Sorry off topic but had to be said.

Or you could take a couple of mil off it with Pete's lathe.

Have a good Christmas Mark. Here's the Attic Boys an a night out recently.

Really?

RIP Jimmy Mc.

Yes.Tailor made.Sorry for the confusion.

Really? .See post 61 Bob.

Only problem about bothering the dj into playing what you want is,has he strayed too far from the remit of the club,or is he trying something out to gauge reaction,or is it wrong for the night full stop. If its the latter,maybe he shouldn't be there at all.And for every time you ask for a record,someone could well be groaning at your choice. If he's strayed from the norm,maybe he needs a gentle nudge.Apart from that let the dj choose.That's what he's there for. Neutral Ground - sounds like a name for a new club.

What i meant by manufactured,was for the NS scene.It sounded almost too perfect, to clean and precise in the production,then add in a vocal like that and bingo. Of course i didn't know,at the time about Popcorn Wylie's influence,so the above is all bllcks.I thank you.

I've got the Martha - Watchout (EX), Dave.No pic sleeve though.PM me if required.

Glad you waited in line till post 4 to answer Richard.No pushing at the back.!!

I thought this was a manufactured tune when i first heard it.On one of the recordings from a while back,on the intro,if you turned it up really loud,there's a dj type "Oh Baby" can be heard. Anyway,its one that grew on me,and i think the frailty in her voice adds to the production.After all there loads of NS tunes where the singer can't "sing".........7/10.

Be a great piece of wall art.

Dont trust anyone who eats cous-cous. .Thanks Ian.

Still not had an answer on that.

Tezza,you're at a point most of us have been at.Especially if you factor in the geographically aspect.Now you've reached your conclusions,you can step over that hill and get on with picking and choosing nights/niters to suit you. Times are tough at the moment for anything but the nostalgia scene,but the only way is up. Going underground? Something i've mentioned on here before,but that needs commitment,effort and not least something new to offer the people paying to frequent the new venue.This may be the way its marketed,advertised etc - but truly underground in my opinion would be more word of mouth,membership route. Smaller club night,more intimate,all dayers. Hang on,we've already got that,just need to look harder. As for in your area,this has already been and gone.Hardly anyone 'round these parts supported 2 clubs in particular, because they were'nt bangin clonkin and stonkin. Viva le Resistance. or ....

2 questions. What happened to his chip shop in Goole.? What did you get for his wedding present,Ian.?

Track 6? Not Don Gardner/Dee Dee Ford.
