    Evening Steve Yes, I'm ok mate thanks. I hope all is good with you and Lou. I enjoyed the photo thread - I'm pretty sure that I remember seeing you about back in the day. The old picture of you with a tash, looks very familiar. Pete

    The youths of today haven't got a clue. They're taking the wrong drugs - ecstasy and charlie wont sustain an all nighter scene, they're rubbish. They need to get some proper gear like base amphetamine down em.

    Super mid tempo track which was a massive spin early 80's. On nice yellow vinyl - I bought mine a few years ago when I started collecting again. Swiss Movement

    Here's a very recent one of me. I really don't like having my photo taken - I look a mess! But, this one I'm ok with.

    Wow. That’s a lovely car Mal. P

    I think they’re actually very nice. Wouldn’t want them in the house though. I had one living in a huge pile of rubble outside my back door once. It was in the winter and I became aware of it after hearing strange noises at the back door at night for about a week. I finally noticed that something had chewed a huge hole through the wooden weather board at the bottom of the back door. In the spring we filled two skips with the rubble - after nearly a mornings work, down to the last couple of barrow fulls, Mr Rat jumped off my mates shovel and scampered off. He was the size of a rabbit! Pete

    Yep that’s a proper record. Full on stomper? I’m not so sure about that. It’s one of those records that I always did that posy, lazy walkabout dance style to. Stomper type stuff was never really my bag. Pete

    That’s really intrresting mate. Thanks for sharing. Pete

    I think the True Image version is Ike Stong and a band. I could be wrong. apologies Chalky I didn’t see you beat me to the Butch find.
  13. Peter99
    Yep Curtis was a mega record - still love. Also two versions - with or without the disco bongos. It’s never straight forward is it. Managed to get a bingo one some years ago before prices went from mad to bad!
  14. Peter99
    Wow. There’s also the mega rare alternative version with the different chorus. A Butch find and a topic previously discussed on SS.

    Yes I think it was Richard at last days of Wigan. It was also a massive record for him, and others, at Clifton Hall. It was one of those modern anthems for me back then. I don’t think it’s rare but it doesn’t come up often - I don’t yhink you’ll get one for less than £200. Youre calling out some good records Stubbsy. Pete

    I never said it wasn’t a factor. But 95% of the attendees were not dancing all night on beer.
  17. Peter99
    I suspect it was coke Pete. Now, look into my eyes, look into my eyes.
  18. Peter99
    Mm. I’m not sure things have progressed now beer is everyone’s poison. I don’t see how that can in any way be better than what drove the scene in the old days.

    MVPS was as you know a massive Cleethorpes record, so it’s as good a guess as any. One of the coolest things about that clip was the whirring of those reels of film. Nice one Mike.
  20. Peter99
    Georgia Blues is a great track too.

    There was nothing veiled about my comment about your time on the scene - it included the word supposition and ended with a question mark. I suspect that you could call me Johnny Come Lately - but your lately would be subject to the same time warp. It was over forty years ago.
  22. Peter99
    One thing is for sure. This thread has been very cathartic for some - I’ve never seen such a collection of lengthy posts. Exorcism of the devil!
  23. Peter99
    It sounds to me that you’re stuck in a time warp. No time for records you don’t know, no time for new faces and all based on memories from nearly 50 years ago. It also sounds like your stint on the scene which ended in 1975 was quite a short one. Of course that could be entirely supposition on my part.
  24. Peter99
    But that is still as relevant today. There are regular debates about the rarity and quality of particular records - it would be disingenuous to think otherwise. I recall well, back in the 80’s, having a particular dislike to the 60’s newies movement. Led sterlingly well by 60’s mafia stalwarts Guy and Keb. For me that epitomised view of if it’s rare or new it has to be good. It was bollox then and it’s bollox now. Don’t tell anyone but I labelled that sound as being from Guy Dustbin and Kev Garbage. It just didn’t cut it for me. Of course it is pure subjectivity.

    A few of us were in contact with Gil some years ago. We bought him a copy of his own record - his story very typical of many artists whose oft, one off records we love. I think that copy came from Johnny Manship. Gil was thrilled to receive it - I have a couple of emails from him somewhere. One of my favourite 60’s records - always reminds me of Nev Wherry. I have a minter in my very humble collection. P
