I don't do facebook Ted. Thanks for the heads up thought. I would be interested to know what sort of records he buys and sells.

Cheers Roy Do you know his SS user name? Peter

Nice record. P

No problem mate. I don't know anything about it or him but, fair do's he can sing a bit can't he.

Mother f***er! WTF? Why?

Good Lord. That's one nasty record. It sounds like something from Banana Splits!

Greater Experience and Don Ray are still great Northern dance records Arthur. How much soul is in there is debateable!

No idea mate. There was also the bomb scare at Notts Odd Fellows - we weren't outside too long for that either. Would that of been 86?

Different kind of bombers back then Steve.

Yep! The yellow mini. Never got to know Anita too well - I was a newbie and a young kid, she was always really nice to me though.

Some place in Boston Simon - can't remember where exactly, but it was on a mini bus.

And replace the mouth organ with pipes..........................

I remember going to an all dayer at Kings Lynn - lots of scooter boys and a bit of a menacing atmosphere if my memory serves me correctly. Loads of us cramped in a red mini which had hardly any brakes, all the way from Spilsby, Lincs. I seem to recall the highlight for me being Arin Demain being played - but that could be complete nonsense, which I always have down as a Nev Wherry record.

Ploughing a lonely furrow Steve. I would have been meaningfully engaged elsewhere! Out of interest it would be great to see some of your playlists from the Fleet. If you get a chance - and or can remember!

Those names ring a bell mate. Dave Appleyard? Other Boston people I knew quite well then were Mick Bradbury, Figgy, Aidy Bradbury (sadly passed away), Anita - who I think was a nurse, Andy Rix, Steve Handbury etc. Quite a few others too but my memory isn't what it once was. In them days we sometimes ended up back at Mick and Aidy's parents - his mum used to make us Sunday dinner and sit there while we ate every mouthful! LOL I also recall going with Mick and his parents to visit Richard Bradbury in Lincoln prison - he once made a match stick model of something or other - bless! I also knew/hung out with the Lincoln lads and lasses at the time. Peter

I only went to the Fleet a couple of times with the Boston crowd - would have been early 80's I guess, when I was still living in Lincolnshire. I remember being quite ill on both occasions. The really odd thing is that I always had it down as being an oldies venue - and never went in the later years. I can't have been looking very closely at the DJ line up - funny that. Peter

Trypt on Love. Orrible, nasty piece of vinyl.

IN A REPLICA SLEEVE. COLORED VINYL. Don't get it either. Another little "pet project"?

Great stuff Rick. Just working my way through this thread. Thanks peter

Hi Phil I know nothing about the album nor what a decent price is. I suspect you will have seen that there are three on discogs. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/2907328?ev=rb Peter

Hi Steve Yep, it was your great photograph of the frozen lake which prompted my post. Nice pictures again Steve. Best to you and Lou from Nottingham. Peter

First real cold snap of the winter. Making sure that my feeders are topped up. Peter

Minter sold on here last August for £750. Nice record - like the final few seconds where it seems to play off centre, well the ones I've heard do.

You have good taste Sir. Good luck. Peter
