    Back at the Casino record bar area when I first started collecting around 75/76 - although I never knew SS his name along with a major record dealer got the blame for every new pressing , bootleg etc.  A new sound would be played by a DJ and bang the following week pressings we’re getting knocked out at £5 a shot - and everyone would go effing SS again or the other guy - the feeling I always got was  they weren't welcome, with people mumbling the usual - “if they come down here, there’ll get it”.

    Looking back I am sure they got the blame for  some pressings and bootlegs - that had nothing to do with them - very convenient for other people to pass the blame 🤔

    Just as a side note the image attached is the closest I could find - I can’t remember a score line in the pills they were solid - the specks on the picture were darker in real life and odd shapes - when walking around with the pills for a few minutes in ur pocket loose and with you’re sweaty hands in you’re pockets - yes it did turn you’re fingers blue 😂🤣

    Strychnine Blues - usually called blueys then you would ask were they Stychnine Blues - 50p each - buzz was the word but not great for dancing also if you sat down you kind of couldn’t be bothered to get up - but you were off ur head - I took 6 at Yate once not clever sat at a table all night blocked while people rushed around finding me sleeping tabs or babs to bring me down.

    they were only sold for about 6 - 8 months great for pub beer heads - Sulphate was in short supply - however when the next batch came through (usually the Welsh connection) thouse Strychnine Blues faded out - we still talk about them today and the thermos flask which was stashed with them buried in a garden somewhere 

    big give away was white foam at the edge of ur mouth 😂🤣

    😳Eyes open like really open 

    Approx year 77 - I use to knock them out to the local pub - Hells Angles loved them 

    rumoured to contain rat poison

    Back in the 80ts I use to attend the KGB on numerous times - remember arriving at Sheffield station at night and trying to find the club pre Google which was daunting 😳😳 I remember internally sitting on the floor and couldn’t understand why the bloke on the other side kept looking at me , I looked away then looked at him again - it was then I discovered mirrors were on one side 😂🤣 sent me paranoid as f&£@

    They say never wish for what you want one night they had a 100% Motown night - trust me at 5 in the morning and listening to This old heart of mine for the 10th time ain’t no fun  - then you had the long walk back to the station - one of life’s growing up experiences

    double life 
    Massive fast track I first heard around 76 - true white soul that has stood the test of time - Thanks for the memories Jerry 👍🏻

    Wonder if he knew how big a hit he had on the NS scene back then 🤔  

    No penalty - pulled shirt 

    Only scored 5 goals in the last 7 years for Scotland - he would have bottled it anyway 

    No shirt pulling - Ok I agree a penalty but he pulled the shirt coz he knew he wasn’t going to score , last min of the game panic 🤔🤔
