    Looking at an earlier scan of an emidisc, does anybody remember a guy from Southport (I'm sure) called Andy Keggin? When we used to travel up from Southampton to Blackpool/Wigan some of us would always go home with some of his merchandise!! He was always in the record bar at the Casino with a box load of emi's of the latest top sounds. The very neat writing on the earlier scan reminded me of him.

    I've just seen an Uptights "Shy Guy" Columbia demo on ebay for $493 with six hours left. So that's well over three hundred pounds for what I always thought was a hundred pound record. albeit nm condition and a brilliant record as well. Has this become a big tune for anyone or have I been propelled ten years into the future?

    Brilliant thread Ian, this one will roll for weeks methinks. My offering would be Darrow Fletcher's brilliant "Changing by the minute" on Uni. A record I love to drop in on a good night and when I'm feeling a bit self indulgent. Epitomises everything great about a Mecca record. Easy to dance to and eleven out of ten on the feelgoodometer. Thanks to my old pal Dave Ferguson for turning me on to this many moons ago. It's on Refosoul if you fancy a couple of minutes of heaven!

    Yes, a dead funny bloke, not surprised at all that stand up was his vocation. Did a few stupid things years ago like we all did but loved the scene. You were never bored in hos company thats a fact. God bless you Dave.

    Just found this lurking low on a shelf. Pounding Northern/RnB ideal for either room. Tough to find on any label. Sadly only vg+ but plays much better. £50 inc 1st class posting. PM or email dgreet211@btinternet.com.

    Hello mate. Yes, there was more mileage in your old Cortina, then there are in some of the Soul books I've read.

    I've just seen Kev Joss's name mentioned in an earlier post. And Jinxy for that matter. I last saw them at Guy Hennigan's 50th. Would someone be good enough to say hello from dave Greet in Reading. And if either of them use this bloody brilliant site ask them to pm me or something. Spent many a happy hour in the record bar at Wigan in their company. Many Thanks.

    Dead right Terry A dj can always tactfully decline a booking if he knows his box won't please the people there. You don't have to say yes everytime you are asked. Just as the promoter will know what a dj plays, it's odds on the dj will know about the crowd he's being asked to play to. See you at Lifeline.

    Not the greatest compliment you can pay Richard Searling is it? Hitting up some ZZZ's while he is on.

    I can remember going a few times in 79 I think. There was no gear to be had anywhere in the country. Just a few hundred in and most of those were asleep on their holdalls by three o'clock. It was'nt always packed dancefloor and thunderous clapping.

    One of the best pieces of writing I've ever had the pleasure to read was in Black Music. A lot of people will remember this. Their first feature on Northern Soul. Tony Cummings visited Whitchurch, The Mecca and I think Newcastle Tiffs. The aforementioned piece of writing was where Eddie Foster falls asleep in his car and his spirit crosses the Atlantic to where people are dancing to "I never knew" at Newcastle Tiffs. Spine tingling stuff, even now.

    Every week virtually. Perhaps the Mecca first then we come down the other way. Then Cleethorpes started attracting us. Another long hike. But hey, when you've got a cassette player and great buddies with you, who cares?

    Every time we went past the road sign that said Junction 25, A49 Wigan, at least two of us would say. "We're going to steal that one day". Never did. Mind you, it's not the sort of thing you can fit in the boot of a Ford Escort! But we were'nt exactly thinking straight by the time we got that close. FANTASTIC TIMES!!!

    I have a nice clean copy on UK Stax but it has no centre. £75 if you want it. Best wishes Dave

    Cheers mate. I'll put a post up.

    Wish I did'nt live so far South. Tremendous playlists. Can anybody contact Trev Thomas (an old mate from Southampton) and either get him to pm me or could somebody pm me his phone number (better ask him first). Many Thanks Dave

    Brilliant record Nev. I remember us having a conversation about this a while ago. It's an old John Manship spin. Surely someone with taste will buy it!!
