I remember Willie from Tod had two copies of the Detriot press for sale at Bank Hall Miners, I did not think they were real at the time. So it sort of ties in with the Stafford era.

I never had the co. sleeve, when I had it. Had all my records back than in white cardboard sleeves. I did keep all the sleeves, I don't know way, but I'm glad a did. I was talking to John Duckworth from Heywood at a do late80s/early90s? Told him I had loads, so he came around to my house at bought them.

I'm not 100% but if I remember right it's the west coast copy that's got the rossette on the label. Funny thing is that I sold it New Years Day 1980, 30 years ago.

back than we used to sing There's a million drugs in the chemist I wonder are they for me.

I rate Mary J Blige alot more than Beverley Knight. I saw Mary in Manchester a few years back, what a great show. BTW I think Beverley is alright, but Mary is special imho.

Dean used to play it at the Wilton, but I never knew who it was by.

Like others have said M Bell version is good. Also done by J & B Purify on Bell again a good version. When Wigan started playing Jimmy James, we played the James & Bobby's version. Global in Manchester was selling it for about 85p at the time.

C Houston was played at Accy Legion in the summer of 74 along with lots of other non-stompers. The classic being J Tex "All The Heaven a man really needs" I went with Rick Foster and Chris Shepphard to Pitches and one of the DJs played it. Anyway I said to him that was good to hear not heard it out since74, with the look he give me shows it didn't beleave me. Others played at the time Intriges "I'm Gonna Love You" D Martin "Sly Girl" B Relf "Girl You're my kind of Wonderful" T Lindsey "Daddyo" C Kelly "City of Fools" Imperial Wonders "You Only Live Once" I swapped one of these to Rod (modernsoulsucks) for Perigents "Love on a Rampage" at the time. Troy Keys " If a had my way" Big Maybelle "I can't wait any longer" Sisters Love "Piece of my Heart" plus lots and lots more. Dave.

Anybody got a sound file?

Ya just checked Kent CDKEND 105, Track 14.

Ian, Paul Thompson " Special Kind Of Woman" a biggie from the 80s/90s. I sold it for peanuts as well before it became popular. It is on one of the Kent CDs "Do the Crossover Baby" I think. Dave.

A night at the Pendulum than on to the Va-Va's, it would have been 1973.

Just voted 1st box, but if you would have asked when I 1st heard it 78 or 79 I world have voted in 2nd box. It took about 20 years to grow on me, but I have always loved that intro, it was the vocal that took me years to get used to. Dave.

1966 for me Great Year England won the World Cup Cantona was born And there were one or two good records made.

Yes it was in May 1976. the night before the Cup Final. Every time a drive pass the spot, I remember John. The record that most reminds me of anybody is Saxie Russell, it was Fuse from Burnley fav. He was killed on Accy Rd Burnley, somewhere else I have to drive pass alot.

Funny you going on about Bowkers, because I was talking to Richard yesterday afternoon about it.

Two more from me, The Moat House - Blackburn Howard Arms - Wheelton, both pulled down, for new houses. Dave.

Yes it was Tony's .

Burnley Mecca (Rose Room) - now a bingo hall Accrington Spinning Jenny - community centre Blackburn Mecca - bingo hall than back to a night club Accrinton British Legion - snooker hall Darwin Tiffanys - was pulled down, now a supermarket Burnley Bank Hall Miners - pulled down, now ? Blackburn Tonys Ballroom - now standing empty Accrington Band Club - as above Burnley Thomson Centre - pulled down, now a car park That's a few from around East Lancs.

I think I have seen you on TV? Oh yes DRAGON's DEN.

Neil Rushton imported a shedload around that time.
