  1. Ha ha yeah, the opening didn't give you a second did it - straight in and full on.
  2. Thanks for that, I thought I was going mad.
  3. Great backing but the Marc Copage-alike grates a bit.
  4. Still love the crazy flute/brass stab ending. Wigan was on a high with a full floor when this got dropped.
  5. You were 16 in the dim and distant, one record that brings it back... Ian Dury - Sex 'n' Drugs 'n' Rock 'n' Roll
  6. ....and!?
  7. Used to go 'bonnet diving' after nighters with Pete (don't ask). A madman but missed.
  8. It sounds like it has been cobbled together somewhat - there sounds someting 'wrong' about it, can't really explain what I mean - just a bit...'wrong'!!!
  9. Blue eyed?
  10. The one little vinyl diamond you have in your box, the one you wouldn't part with for the world (or would you?) Which is it?
  11. I've just re read this thread and realised I was talking about the Leon Patillo album being titled the same as the track that got the play 'I'll Never Stop Loving You' - I think you were asking what the Donn Thomas album was called - 'it was 'You're The One'.
  12. Same mate. Pm for you.
  13. Which has just reminded me of Leon Patillo's 'I'll Never Stop Loving You'.
  14. 'How Can I Help But Love You'.
  15. I will eternally grateful to Searling for what he did for the Wigan dance floor toward it's closure. Nice version of 'Don't Walk Away' by Sweet Pea Atkinson too.
  16. Fraid so, when Derek the original owner left for Spain, some div took over, had his licence took from him after a month and that was that, Top Shop's knicker drawer.
  17. Me mate spotted that and asked me to bid on it for him but I don't really feel it necessary for him to be paying what that will probably go for, which is why the post on here. Cheers mate.
  18. That's the statement I struggle with. I don't see eye to eye with the idea that you could in truth sell a record that you like (as if you would) to fund something that will keep you in the public eye, hence my statement 'Is that what it's all about?' Now I know that without the one-upmanship angle there are a thousand records I wouldn't know and love, so I can't complain as a listener, and I know to some extent that I'm playing devils advocate here. I alsounderstand that soulies aren't like your common or garden mobile jock.....but my computer, still, says "No!"
  19. It was always the 12"s that jumped to my knowledge. I'm sure my 7"s vinyl though.
  20. Has there a new breed of dj come around these days? The ones I grew up with were collectors, that played their collection, yet I have read so many posts about selling stuff cos it didn't floor-pack and wanting the latest in demander.....and this hot-box thing!? I know there are bound to be lads that are old skool but how prevelant is this mentality of buying and selling to make DJ status. Is it what it's all about?
  21. It's a storage space for Top Shop now.
  22. Martin...mate....it's a lovely day, c'mon fella.
  23. It probably will have been, Brian Rae did a weekly soul thing there. (As well as the Bell Hall if anyone can remember that far back). It was up two flights of stairs!?
  24. Lovely to see this again - it was my first album, our kid gave it to me - happy days.
