Its really great to see people thinking about others in this selfish world we live in, there are a lot of lovely souls out there and Johnny is just one of them ,life is about learning from mistakes we and others make and helping others out by what we learn . Ive just been reading all the posts here at work and its made me feel really positive for 2010 knowing that people like Pete Smith ect ect will go out and help people who are going through a rough time in there lifes .What goes around comes around. I,m sure 2010 will bring happiness to some and sadness to others but hopefully Johnny & Family will see a change of fortune and through this site he has seen the love people have in their hearts for him and knowing that is a great feeling i,m sure.. Love, Peace & Happiness Ian & Jane xxx xxx

===================================================================================== No idea who played it at the Torch but i know it cost me £10 off Steve which in 72 was nearly a weeks wages I also remember when Searling was working at Global in 72/73 they had Pat Lewis no one to love 85p Danny Woods you had me fooled 40p several other great Detroit 45,s and i bought 6 copies of Mikki Farrow--Set my heart at ease which cost a fortune £5 each really struggled to move them on at a profit took me couple years if i remember.. I have a old Global list somewhere i will try and dig it out next week and post some more prices up ..

Blimey i nearly forgot Bri 45 Phillips another Manc legend still got some of his old list they make great reading ha ha

=============================================================================================== The story behind this is Stevie Z and Neal Brown discovered this when they got back from the states Stevie showed it to me at Manc record fair and asked me had i ever seen it ( i had,nt ) few months later at the same record fair Neal Brown traded me his copy which i played out for around one and half years first time it got played was when i dj,d for Dickie Searling at the Ritz Rarest of the Rare niter Manchester , later on i sold it to Ray ( Ginger ) meanwhile myself n George Rouse had found out that Times Square Records had a couple o copies listed , when George went to New York they only had the one copy which made the two Steve n Neal had found turn to 3 in total George Rouse then traded it to me on his return for my Tomangoes gggrrrrrrr god i loved that 45 but it went to a good home and nice bloke !!! This copy was again kept by me for around 2 years before i let me good friend Simon Ingram have it in trade... I good story on this 45 just after i sold Ginger mine i got the other copy of George Rouse and was DJ,IN at Winsford niter Ginger was following me on and my last 45 was the Jokers Ginger was going to start with his copy i had sold him the look on his face when i finished off with it and told him jokinly i had a boxful at home he he i told him i was jokin before he duffed me in ha ha Regards Ian Cunliffe xx

Theres that mountains -The Tripps

Just get piss-d and play to the dancefloor halfway thro your set play the snake and say this is a request for Jumpin Joan shes asked me half a dozen times for it so here goes

==================================================================================== Me too

============================================================================================ Its ar reet fur u rich folk like u n Julian Bentley us poor folk have ta sell tu eat

================================================================ Moore n Fowler( Brits abroad )two for the price of one can just see u both standing on top of a big flash americian car holdin up two TB Copys of Beautiful Neet

Believe me Jimmy T is avery hard 45 to locate when it first started getting plays around early 72 i tried to get a copy no luck whatsoever tried every shop i knew impossible that why T . Banks ( TB Boot ) knocked it up for the Torch crowd when he brought the boots to the Torch to sell they went mad tryin to buy it off him has he stood on the front of the stage sellin them... Like its been mentioned the 45 was withdrawn making this UK only 45 very very hard to find on issue regarding the Demo how many do you think where put out around the uk ? Its a hard demo to find in nice condition How many do you see for sale ??? How many have been listed on the Auction sites not many i bet also over the last 30 odd years ive looked thro thousands of sales boxes at niters / soul nites around the UK and in that time ive only seen around half dozen copys for sale from memory yip in my opinion a hard 45 on demo and very hard on issue.. !!!
