Well, you learn summat everyday.

Jimmy Robbins - 100 Club - 80's

Picked one up a minter a few week back for $3.

MAYORAL PROCLAMATION: December 4th is now officially Charles Bradley Day in Madison, Wisconsin!!

...sorry fella's not a record...but I think worthy of the space https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WICKID-SICK-FORD-FIESTA-ZETEC-S-BLACK-/281220186553

Amazing what a few pints a Stella do to a bloke. Apologies ;0)

Bugger me!!

Rat Scabies, Charley Charles and Matt Black.

Some of us do John ;0)

I've dripped numbers of my collection out over the last ten years or so and we all must have had the big % purchase/sale windfalls; eg Terry Callier - LAMN (2 of) - paid £1 - sold £350 Ron Henderson - GL - paid £8 - sold £400 Frank Dell - HBYGWO - paid £2 - sold £280 Jewel - Paradise - paid £6...etc etc ...so losing the odd couple of bob on other sales must have been balanced out by the fact the maj of us on here paid relative pennies for the maj of our collections by being canny or just plain right with our early purchases * EDIT and turned them over years on for a massive profit. Not ever being in a position to have to have stuff when it is in demand is a God send really - I don't think I've ever sold a record for less than I paid for it or bought one knowingly as it's in demand. Strikes me some people either bought badly or are believing the hype on the realistic monetary value of their own records...whereby not getting what it is deemed worth these days is deemed a loss maybe???

Used to play a 12" @ Bradford by East Wind (Got To Keep You Into My Life) - wonder if it's the same band?

Just to clear up - this was a ham-fisted but light-hearted rib @ Len and in no way a dig (would I?) and his Mixer knowledge but was on an I Pad and have never worked out how to get the Emoticons up.

I bought mine at Wigan...they were a tenner.

I was talking about knowing where the Bass and Treble was ;0)

There was a grey label one on The Bay this morning for £134.

You're such a big head Len.

Not sure I care about the future of the scene if I'm honest. The NS scene that attacted me was one borne of a social period in history that has now forever gone. There were so many things that went into forming the NS scene of (my) yesterday that it would be impossible for it to ever be that same thing again. I love going out and meeting my mates with music in the background - but that's all I'm doing - it doesn't (and can't) hold me like it once did. I still dance til I hurt, I still buy records, I still hunt down stuff, I still get excited by 'new' stuff, I still play out trying to create my little 'yesterday' bubble...but the (and my) youth has gone - and I don't feel the same buzz around me on a floor anymore. I find it really depressing going to 'Darby & Joan' soul nights - they just ain't for me - which is why I find weekenders a more attractive blow out these days. Youth creates excitement. Without going over old ground, everyone's a star in their own minds these days - loads of back-slapping going on. Have your today - give me my yesterday back.

Cunnie!! What nonsense!!

Oh the thrill of getting home with stuff that got played.

Just been onto Keb's FB page - just harrowing photographs - and I mean bad shit. The situation with the Mayor seems a bad one... ....some scary shit right there.

The patches used to be stuck up inside the window.

huh huh huh

Bit off topic but I remember seeing an old Wheeltappers and Shunters episode from around '74 on Gold and it was David Dickensons wife (cabaret singer at the time), dressed in the above garb and doing a rendition of 'To The Ends Of The Earth'.

Remember Russ' little record booth/stall upstairs on the M's side balcony?

Yeah, quite a few local scooter clubs would turn up at that time and generally they always seemed to sit on the stage for that 'we're here now' look. I remember Warrington Scooter Club doing the same, so I waited for my chance and robbed all the peaks to their helmets - funny watching em in the car park in the morning with their now 'shit pot' helmets on.
