Did you used to meet up with us in Rowntrees sound in Manchester ?

Indeed I did mate. That was where I saw Martin Ellis do the most disgusting thing I'd ever seen.

Also in the gang were Carts and Scottish Kenny. Earlier one there were Pemmy (Tony Pemberton) a guy with a polish name (John Wojowski or something like that?) My memory of those times is really fading nowadays though.

HAVE A LOOK AT HIS USER NAME ON EBAY THINK HE IS JOHN WOJOWSKI- ITS VERY SIMILAR

That original quote about John (uncredited by Andy) is mine. John was older than me as I was just a nipper but we used to go Wigan in the same crowd, and to other local nights. I may be doing him a disservice by spelling his name not quite right but I'm sure Wojowski is pretty close. He had very red hair and at a guess, he'd be about 60 now.

The ebay seller is johnmickolajckyz, and apart from the 'John' bit, surely it's only similar in the way that Smith and Jones both look like British names.

I remember that that John's record collection was the stuff of local myth. He was supposed to have 45s from his pre-Wigan days that were the stuff of legend and largely unknown to most collectors. Although I saw his box round at his house in Oldham once (I recall it was big wooden thing he kept under the bed) he would never, ever let me or my pals look through it. Maybe he just thought we were young scallies and not to be trusted; maybe he thought that having grown up with the likes of My Heart's Symphony and the Soussan instrumentals, his good stuff would have been wasted on us.

Guess I'll never know. He was a good guy though, so I hope he's ok.

edit - actually I think I just found him!

Hi Andy - no thunder to steal. I just thought it was a bit confusing and didn't want my post about JW to look as though it was linked with the suggestion that he was a bit of a chancer. Cheers.

Doe's this count as a Comedy Sale Of The Day

https://www.ebay.co.u...N-/110621819984

:hatsoff2: HI Yep it is a joke! looking down our mans list, the last record ABC ROCK STEADY on the High Note label, in fact it's the labels very first release, The record is a load of S**t and he has priced it at £150. another JOKE? well maybe not maybe not, I really do not no the current value, I am tempted to say £35, However you never can tell,

I actually got this the week it was released, it was one of my very first couple of REGGAE 45s back then this music, a new music from JA had not even got a name, as it was the dace name that stuck, the dance was from the Hips and properly executed made a 17 year old DAVE Grow? the dance later was call Welding a descriptive name for it, it was always dance to an uptempo bass but sweet rhythm, this sweetness come out of the late 66 RUM RYTHEM which was more meaty and had more pace to it than all the smooth vocal harmonizing of Rock Steady and you should never really play them side by side as it's Chalk & Cheese,

This leads me to the B side of ABC Rock Steady, And as I say at 17 years old and to actually own one of not just an early Reggae Record, I can honestly state 100% this is Reggae at it's very best, very very best I am sure many collectors who did not hear this in context as I did, may have a better example, but check it out. and when you talk about Steggae Jeggae Reggi Reggay or Reggae mention the record SOUL DRUMS, AND LEAVE THE PUSSEY RECORDS TILL YOU GETBACK TO YOUR YARD :lol: So the joke is the bloke who lives in hope1 TO GET SOME CORN FOR DOPE & COKE! SO DONT BE SORE AT ME NO MORE, WHEN YOU ARE SLACK DON'T SMOKE CRACK! It's a KILLER, SO AM i, LATER BABYLONS :rofl: DAVE

Did not say it was ' rare ' Pete that's a hot potato term anyhow - just one of the more elusive Grapevine releases. At the time of release Grapevine distribution was sporadic to say the least .... as the label was coming to it's ultimate end....

Incidentally have not managed to sell one myself ....seller was obviously a lucky bugger.... :ohmy:

No you are right Glyn, it is one of the more elusive ones, but my experience over the last 4/5 months of selling Grapevines, a complete set and numerous spares, is that the interest peaked a year or 18 months ago and more or less everyone who wanted them has now got them I think. In general I mean.
