just found some old emidiscs, including one of "boo on you" (inst) with the french fries on the other side,I know of worse ones but I,ll keep them under me hat until other people have admitted to theirs

only ever owned two.

1. yvonne vernee b/w 'the gems' (a.k.a. burning bush)

wrested off john vincent st.ives all-dayer 79

2. 4 track jobbie feat. billy arnell/larry clinton/betty fikes/twans

courtesy of derek in kettering 1978

do they fit?

My first was Stagemasters/Rita Dacosta from Pep, (with the Catacombs office stamp on the labels) then Earl Wright/Cool jerk (instr) - the Earl Wright, although a little hissy, had more balls than the later Capitol reissue. Then a real memory of St. Ives - Lorraine Silver/Taj Mahal/Chris Cerf/Jay D. Martin, and finally a cracking quality Professionals single-sider which I always regretted selling!

Hippo.

st.ives. very fond of that place. a bit 'soul-less' but mid 77 it certainly gave wigan a run for it's money. remember all those coaches? superb dance floor too. you mention taj mahal. I loved this so much I bought a cracked columbia demo of it!!

I was really impressed with john vincent one night at peterborough when he bloody-mindedly played the 'natchl blues' album version, with that extended freak guitar solo. some of the dancers wondered what the f*** was going on! standing there, hands on hips, looking bewildered. very daring of him...

You mention JV in virtually every post macca, are you another soul source stalker ?

Johns on here now and again, as BIGBOY.

he was definitely my fave dj back then. when I think of JV, I think of willie mitchell, the del-larks, donald austin, eddie hill, the lovells, & probably, I don't know why, but it's a gut feeling, the matt lucas track too. I bought something off him on swan, that he had covered as milton wright 'downtown', an instrumental. I can't remember the artist now. audrey something? yeah. top bloke JV.

thank you good sir. it didn't stay in my possession for very long. I'd lost the bugger within half an hour, due to my being 'worse for wear' & too trusting of a group of individuals camped at the other end of our table. don't see on lists these days either...

Totally agree about John.

He DID have MAtt Lucas, and certainly played at at Samanthas.

There all shit , but being the hypocrite I am I had a fair few in the early 70's mostly off a old face from Derby (you may know him Codfromderby) J--k Bo-----ton. The things you wast your money on eh
