  1. Was pm'img Neil(Allen) earlier today, there are so mant tales to be told, from those special nights, well it was weekends most times with the likes of the oldies, clifton hall, the britt, the bear, bedford etc...etc...on fridays, then off to Kev 'n; Shazz's or Lornas, if we could get a lift.

    What a joy to be in the company of the craziest, reckless bunch of wonderful people you could ever wish to meet. talk about living to the maxx, and then more piled in on top, yet through all that we came out with so many life long mates, and great memories.

    If you told the tales to an outsider, they would scoff and say nobody would get up to those things, but we did weekly

    Dave from Anglesey stopped me a few months ago, must have been 20 plus years but it was as if it had been 8am the Sunday before, and that applies to so many of us,,,thats so special for me as around here no fucker will speak to me, only jokin really the kids spoke only last year LOL

    We dont need to meet in a mall, to be together "the memories still remain in our hearts"

  2. Don't know anything about Mickey Moonshine, but BLUE MAX started this record off at the Cats I believe. After the Cats closed, he gave it a spin or two at the short-lived "Whispering Wheels" venue (also in Temple Street) in mid-1975 - covered up as..??? Pep and Ian Levine were also deejaying that night and Ian went wild over it, borrowing Max's covered up copy to play in his own set!*

    Wigan spins came several months later... as usual.

    (I have the evidence on tape!)* :)

    I bought Max's copy from him in the shop on 11/11/1978 !!

    It is still in the white card cover he used at the Cat's. He covered it up as "Manny Charles" - "Darling I surrender". This was to create the impression that it was really by Charles Mann. It originally had a MECCA sticker on it to cover it up. I removed said sticker - wish I hadn't!!

    No pink paper involved with this copy. No doubt Max can add to the story.

    :lol:

  3. Hi

    I bought this 45 in the recent eBay auction. The "B" side is "Wrong Direction" and the label title on the "B" side isn't altered. Cost $57.

    I did have a quick chat with JM about it at the time.
