Totally agree with you there mate moved into the area about 4yrs ago from york, never came up this way much apart from seeing eddie holman at the dolphin centre many moons ago also used to do the mayfair siute newcastle, allways went the other way to lancashire, was and still amazed at the wealth of talent/knowledge up here total respect! back to the counts yeh the lad where talking about has a fantastic collection, me and my wife run a night at EASINGTON VILLAGE WMC rare & underplayed 60`s n r`n`b & he dj`s for us regularly nice lad just as you say dosn`t get the recognition he and a lot of others up here deserve all the best HARRY

In total agreement here guys, me n my missus hold a night up here were we live totally dedicated to this sort of thing, we don`t charge an admission fee, obviously theres not as much intrest as the local oldies/across the board music policy nights so we don`t hold these as regular,we did a lot of research before starting these nites & the intrest is there and its begining to pick up after a slow start, IMHO theres so much music lost and good music too

Back to this one again pete, how many copies of this record are there, was talking to a goo friend of mine who is a shrine collector. lives up north near me and he informed me he has a copy, now seeing his collection i totally believe him just wondered how many theres supposed to be? he informed me his copy is the one that the sounbite for the shrine cd was lifted from

Hey roger hope you n jenny are ok, anyone have any info on the bunky release of this record? HAPPY XMAS TO YOU N JENNY

There were quite a few bad trips to wigan,heres one of them, coming from york we used to get the train change at leeds and then on to manchester, in those days we used to go with a few of us one of these was a lad who`s nickname was Billy whizz [R.I.P.}those of you who can remember him would know billy liked a drink to say the least, anyway it was a quick change of trains in leeds but at manchester we had an hour to kill so we used to go into the rowntree bar near the station for a pint, as usual billy was mortal by this time, once in the pub Billy dcided to go to the toilets wich was through the pool room at the back were all the coloured guys hung out i allways waited to go on the train looked a bit dodgy to me and had a funny smell, anyway billy came back from the loo n started going through his pockets looking for his wallet, He then accused everyone in the bar of stealing his walet, Before sticking his head through the pool room door n shouting, WICH ONE OF YOU F***ING BLACK B*****DS HAS PINCHED MY WALLET,my first thought was were dead we were chased all the way back to the station where i vaulted the turnstiles n hid in the toilets now that was dodgy when your only seventeen the thing was nothing ever happened to dear old billy he just fell over

Is that the one kev murphy has then?

Dream senario that one ted, this was when searling was still playing it at wigan, never saw an issue for many years after did many of those turn up?

Used to get loads of stick from the york crowd for spending loads of money on these records, think the qoutes were they`ll get booted n loose there value you must be mad, MY OH MY HOW WRONG THEY WERE, n what are they all buying now ! BUY OLDIES HARRY THEY DON`T LOSE THERE VALUE

I was well fed up when dave raistrick had a copy of larry clinton for 115 quid, n i only had 110 quid with me by the time i`d scrabbled round for a fiver he`d sold it DOH!

Got kids this weekend mate, but hey got me driving test on 27th so will be down for defo, Back to thread didnt nolan chance on bunky sell for a lot of money back then?

Good thread this one trev how ya doing matey? had a long weekend in york getting over it now though saw tony/tracy sat at junction, shoulda seen patto

The ultimate tail of embarresment, new nothing about frank wilson back then, still thought it was eddie foster, looking through jonathan woodliffe`s sales box at wigan pulled out frank wilson asked how much, he just said four mate, so i passed him a five pound note, promptly got back NO MATE FOUR HUNDRED on wich i promptly dissapeared into the shadows curled up n died

I paid 100 quid for vickie baines in 79/80 off searling, then week after bought cecil washington off colly from selby for eighty qiud, back to vickie baines the week after buying it went into the record bar at wigan used to buy all my records off dave withers so allways looked through his box first, first five records all vickie baines all photo copies, my arse twitched slightly

Those were the days eh, was at wigan ron pedley was talking to a lad who offered him frankie beverly on fairmount for twenty quid,ronnie asked him to bring it the week after for him, only problem was week after ron was barbed, n when the kid took him the record ron told him to get f****ked along with other barb fillied abuse He was sick when i told him what he`d done though.

Thats what i was told but there was no indication of this on the label, was told later it was just a plant error where the middle hadn`been pushed out in manufacture, but as i said in a earlier reply would they put the label on before pushing the middle out?
