  1. Is it true that old folk smell of piss? That’s really sad if it’s true.
  2. I don’t think I have misunderstood you at all. You’re missing a one word answer to your question/point - it’s really, really simple. Supply. Sorry to be pedantic but your assertion that the scene met with its demise in the mid 70’s is quite incredible and simply not true. Obviously, it may well have died off in your very personal world, but that is completely different.
  3. Basically yes mate. There are of course legitimate “acetates” of unreleased records, which can be very similar. It’s a funny old game.
  4. The emi disk was a blank disc produced by emi.
  5. Well done for putting the time in on this thread - your contribution has been significant. Having said that, I don’t think you get it. Your post suggesting that the ovo thing is absolutely crazy is way of piste. Not least because by default you are supporting the notion that any tom, dick and Harry could pitch up and play a load of boots, or even cd’s. Or even just pitch up with s laptop and play YouTube content. Sorry, if I’ve misunderstood you, but if I haven’t then with all due respect I think you are talking the language of Bolloxexis.
  6. But that is far from “nowadays” accepted practice. I haven’t read the entire thread, but I’ve noticed some very, very long posts. The fact is that the likes of Wigan, and other big venues, were dropping records on a massive scale simply down to booting. What happens nowadays in terms of record turn over pales into insignificance - it always will do because the supply of new 60’s records isn’t there anymore - and that’s probably been the case for nearly 30 years.
  7. Interesting Dave. I saw a documentary on Tequila recently - it’s named after the town Tequila. It showed them harvesting the plants - there were specialist harvesters, all done by hand. I seem to recall that the main producer is a family business - Americans, who spotted an opportunity. That could be wrong though as it was all a bit fuzzy. Absolute Vodka, Cherry flavour.
  8. I'd have never have got that in a month of Sunday’s!
  9. Yep I don’t know Dave. It does somehow look familiar. I’ll be patient and wait until you let us all know. Pete
  10. A wild form of nettle or artichoke Dave? Im sure I’m wrong. P
  11. Disco modern? Bloody hell that's a view from 1980/81 - nearly 40 years ago. What's your definition of great Northern records that are overlooked or ignored?
  12. Nice one Mark. The geezer on the left looks like Nev Wherry. Pete
  13. It was pretty hard core Rob!
  14. Ha! I didnt know you were putting in a shift as a mod! Nice one - I had a stint in the past. Thanks Pete PS - I'm sure there will be lots of posts regarding my good looks. We could be in for one hella of a ride. When will the smileys be fixed mod don?
  15. Now then oh Swift one! I'm ok mate and hope all is well with you. It's Caroline. Originally from Grimsby, then lived in Louth for a bit. She did indeed go out with Kev for a bit - years ago. She's been married to Dave, my mate from Mablethorpe for years. Theyve got two lads. Pete
  16. I hope its ok putting stuff here - rather than in the gallery. Mike please move if it isn't. t. Anyway, hows about posting some unyet posted pictures of us. Here's me to kick things off.
  17. Not posted for ages. Move your ass to this Webster Lewis produced mover. Gwen McCrae - ave it!
  18. Nice - never heard that side. Is that a beat ballad? It is to me! P
  19. Innit just. Good nights down there.
  20. I know it well enough. Cracking soul record. P
