  1. Mike, I would agree with you actually. I'm more confident about getting the artists right, rather than the order in which they appeared. Anyone reading this, I'd rely on Mike more than me ! pete
  2. scuse me diving in here, I love off piste music queries on SS [ bit sad I know ] the tune is an oldie, called ' way down in the hole ' the Wire has a policy [ well up to series 4 ] , of keeping the song as it's theme but changing the artists series 1 - tom waits series 2 - blind boys of Alabama series 3 - neville brothers series 4 - domaje I'll now get my coat pete
  3. the willie tee lp is astonishing and shows the quality of most of the man's product ; truly someone the scene should, and rightly does, see as a major talent .
  4. That's it - exactly ! And you can add in .............Little Anthony [ gonna fix you good ], Leon Haywood, and the Sapphires. And the mighty mighty Frances Nero .
  5. Hi Julian , my advice - get paypal straight on the case immediately . when I had a row with a seller over condition not as described, I got them involved and they looked into it and gave me a refund - and d/w it quickly too [ and they told me to keep the record as well ! ] pete
  6. great memories! Siz [ Steve ] was a close mate of my younger brother Simon and I was always struggling to get them to keep their sticky mitts off my collection . They were 6 years younger and [ I believe ] never went to the first Pendulum , but they did go to the MSG version . They started out at a place in Altincham [stamford Hall I recall, ] and then developed onto the Blue Rooms . Your right about Ivor's - remember the big yellow bags they sold stuff in with ' stolen from Ivor's ' on ? I was at school with Rob Belars and Phil Saxe and Mo Wright and they went a lot to the Pendulum too, but then they sort of split off and started going to the Catacombs . I was chatting years later to Siz [ at the Ritz ] I think and he told me it was him and Simon rooting through and playing my collection, [ that I told them I'd batter them if I ever found them doing it ! ] that in turn got him into the scene . Which I was quite pleased to hear him say actually On the Friday nights and the Sunday nights I remember always being able to fund all our drinks by selling whatever the Stretford or Manchester Deansgate Co-Op's had in their deleted record boxes . Could always get unlimited Los Canarios [ I know ] and sell them 12/6 or 15/- a pop .But Dynatones turned up there too and Rosco Robinson and Chuck Jackson. There was also plenty of oldies to pick up at Mazels , Johnny Roadhouse on Oxford Rd., and dozens of junk shops in Moss Side . Newly released and promptly deleted demo's were dumped every month at Shude Hill as well . But now I'm rambling off the thread ! pete
  7. Your right the first Pendulum was Hardman / Hardwick St and was near the old Daily Mail building . The pub was down stairs and the club upstairs . I think the one big defining record was phrophets - I got the fever . But this was when the imports started flooding in and Festival time was absolutley feckin massive . And then we heard Laura Lee's vocal !! I remember good clubs that me and mrs. went to in Manc. at that time - roundtrees sound [ in the victoria station area] and roundtrees spring gardens [ in the...err... spring gardens area ]. Also Sloopys - the best of the lot, imho, and next to the original Wheel in Brazennose St. And Top of the Town, with the spin inn record shop on top of it. And Taki's in Oxford Rd ; great club and sound system and the hottest place I've ever been in. But back to the thread , I d-j'd at Les Hare's [ Kingbee records - 100% ace record shop ! ] do a wee while back and was spouting on over the mike about the importance of the Pendulum to this scene, and was really chuffed that Barry Tasker came up and had a natter . The Pendulum in Manchester changed the lives of me and mrs. I think it is one of the great unsung clubs, [ but I know they must exist up and down the country], but still they are the places that got us all into this glorious mess ! In Stretford there was Browns [ one in Levenshule too ? ] which played plenty of good stuff .
  8. THIS IS A GREAT THREAD BUT ISN'T THIS ABOUT THE STRENGTH OF THE SCENE - WE ALL LOVE RECORDS OTHERS CAN'T STAND , AND WE ALL HATE RECORDS OTHERS LOVE, BUT WE ALL GO OUT AND DANCE AND DRINK TOGETHER ? THAT'S WHY IT'S LASTED THAT LONG MAYBE. ANYWAY, TO THE THREAD, THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY - BY LEVI WHATEVER HIS NAME IS. WHAT'S ALL THAT ABOUT ?
  9. I got the chance to play this on Mary Fox ( RADIO STOKE ) a few weeks ago , and I named checked Ms. J.J. as she was the first d-j I'd ever heard play it [ and is responsible for me having to track one down ] since then I've had a lot of enquiries about it . It's now a big favourite at Bridgwater .

  14. well I'm just passing the message on as a favour to a good friend , but I think the story is that his computer has got gremlins / gone kaput and he only has access to the web , ( incl. Soul Source ) by travelling somewhere else to gain access via someone else's computer . The problem with his computer isn't accessing the site , it's more about only having read access and not being able to post.
  15. Everyone , Neil asked me to post to say he's having a problem accessing Soul Source , but if anyone wants to get in touch re. his wants ep's or lp's then can you email him at neilrushton2@btinternet.com
