Bit concerned about this post Chris, in a gently scared, keep him where you can see him and don't go into any dark corners or remote areas type of way. But to be positivre, I imagine the therapy went well ?

I thought it was a cool name and might impress and influence people, [ who don't already know me and that I'm an arse ] And there was a time I was in control of the music and records [ rather than the other way round ], then in one week I got the money to get some 7's from Global records...... J.J.Barnes [ p.l.m.i. + r.h. ] Laura Lee [ t.w.y.h. ] and San Remo's [ f.t. ]. I thought ric-tic was the coolest thing in my life thus far [ obviously after Cathy, MUFC and the Contours ! ] [ and please don't pile in and tell me it must have been over 3 weeks - this is my life and I'm doing the remembering ]. I'll get me coat. pete lyster

There was a store in Manchester called Henry's, on the now pedestrianised street where the arndale is, clearly visionary because it was a bit of a pound store 30 years before they were invented [ clever dicks, at this stage, go back and work out what a £1 was worth in 1966 ] ; anyway this cheap and cheerful store had ex juke box records priced 2/6d centres removed, but they were in there really quickly. After I saw my big sister swanning about with a couple of TMG'S [ a four tops and a kim weston I think,] I took all my Xmas and birthday money in [ Jan 1966 I think ] and bought everthing I could find on TMG. Still got them, although some upgraded to centres and even r/w's now, but it was one of the things that set me off on this path all those years ago. Thanks Sis ! pete lyster

James Brown ' there was a time ' of the king lp [ well a good slug of it if not all of it ], has gone down well at Soul Nights @ Bridgwater in the last few years does this qualify - I've always believed that was a real live recording not studio enhanced pete

Just finished my copy - couldn't believe some of the stunts Al pulled to get publicity [ the Tommy Good story for example ]. And the bollocks he showed time and time again [i think he terms it chutzpah! ] It's right what Al says, no matter how good the music was we may never have got to hear it if Motown had not been successful. And Al certainly played his part. When I think what this music meant to me when it first hit me as a 14 y.o. in 1966, and what happened after that , it makes me shudder to think of life without Motown, which presumably would also be life without all the wannabees and imitators whose records I've been collecting ever since ! The other thought I had is that still, even after all these years, the Yanks don't really seem to understand what they had music-wise in Detroit and elsewhere in the 1960's and later ? Following on a long line of people,[ including Dave Godin, The RSG crowd, + Dusty in the early years, all the way through the efforts of all my Northern and Motown dj heros through the last 40 odd years ], it takes the likes of Neil [ and Bill and Glenn ] to really make sure these priceless stories and anecdotes are properly presented, published so for all time there will be a record of what actually happened. Well done guys ! Loved it ! pete lyster

Skiing in the snow - Beach Girls arghh !

minty copy on shifty's new list [ ravingmadrecords@aol.com ] ? hope that helps

this is a great thread - I've been laughing thro' most of it has anyone been to the Greenwich Village NYC 2nd hand shop [ just off Bleeker I think ], and been in the place where the guy upstairs speaks to the guy downstairs [ where all the vinyl is stored ] and if they've got your artist choice it comes back up on an old style pulley / waiter's / hatch affair.......and you can hardly breathe with the tension about what they might or might not dredge up ?...... .......Or feel like bringing up based on whether they can be arsed. Anyway, I think he's lacking somewhat in manners ! Also, and for real bad temper, got Mick Smith once at Luton [ I think ] just after we'd [ mufc ] battered them ( Charlton ).............that wasn't perferct customer relations either! But to be fair, he's normally, of course, a real complete sweetie. pete lyster
