Oh Matron nooooooo Steve

Neh, neh, neh neh, neh Peter's got detention Steve

Never understood that one myself Mark. Bit like the Monty Python sketch that puts Peterborough in Lincolnshire Steve

I'm glad you put that about the boot being darker. I have a definite original somewhere and it is without doubt a lighter yellow label. It's a minter too Steve

What a f*cking idiot..... of course I'm getting mixed up Thanks Dave

Thought I'd heard he had moved from Hong Kong to Phuket in Thailand. Maybe he hasnt got sorted yet with t'internet and all that. Steve

..... and these

Went rooting the other day and came across these. To be honest I'd forgotten about some of them. Do yo remember these?

I know you've been selling some of late and thanks for the reply. I've just found a load of mine that I've not seen for years. I know where all my Wigan ones and A few EASC anniversary patches are but didn't know I still had these ones Steve

I'd like to see some 18 year old try :D

I know that badges have been going for what I would consider to be fairly large sums of money. I've been asked by someone if they could buy one of mine but I'm clueless as to what to ask pricewise. Unfortunately can't upload the photo but.... Managed to upload it now... it's the yellow 2nd Anniversary East Anglian Soul Club badge with the crossed black fists in the centre. Any ideas appreciated Thanks Steve

It's a history of human activity a la census kind of thing

C'mon Jaco, there's so much going on with the literary side of the Northern Soul world..... you could write a book about it Steve

Ian, Snot, balls. . . You are a disgrace to our scene. No wonder you moved south Steve

Oi.... Spike, where are you when we need you (BTW spike is now his new name in reference to his severed balls story ) Steve

Actually, on reflection, Ian probably doesn't have it anymore. It was 1993 when I moved to Yorkshire. Ian bought my stuff about a year before... quite a few thousand records if I remember correctly. So I'm guessing the 12 came out in 90 / 91 as thats when I was winding down my club DJ'ing around Lincolnshire. Steve

I had a white label of this which seemingly originated from Italy, it was sent out as a promo at the time when that kind of stuff was "in". Actually didn't do anything with it: ie play it out etc etc. When I sold my "disco" stuff, most of which went to Ian Clark, I'm sure that went with it. A trip to North Walsham may prove fruitful if he didn't let it go. Steve H

You play golf and you think you have a say on blue eyed soul..... surely not

I guess potentially you argue the toss that it's rarer than the two US copies.... so, on that basis some lunatic will probably pay £50,000............not! Seriously, would anyone have a clue what it would fetch... even John M wouldn't know. This is all based on the seller (owner rather than John M) either having a reserve of what they think is a realistic price or simply chucking it into the market place to see what it goes for. Personally I don't think acetates count in the value of records as they are a sub-genre, unique maybe, but not a record as such. But thats only my opinion of course and it counts for nowt in many cases Best Steve

I have one up for grabs but I'm confused.... I'm sure mine is on vinyl. Will check and get back to you. Steve

More suited to a care home I would have thought Steve

Now I'm not in the health care service or indeed local Government but, as I understand it............. nobody would adopt a Mancunian Steve

You're putting more than your knackers on the line.... more like sack and all... and you go under the banner of 6T's....21st Century.... how very dare you. Joking of course, I'm all for the new stuff as much as the old. You knock em dead Mr Croasdell just make sure its a 45 and not a 33 rpm 12"... just to confuse things bearing in mind your age Steve H

Got a mint - copy on Home Of The Blues. PM me if interested to discuss price. Steve
