Ive  finally got a mate who has collected Echoes and various magazines for years ,  to scan  some Modern scene stuff

 

I think this was late  1987   ?    The Royal Oak   Mondays ( a gig  for the train spotters , a vinyl  selling gig  )

 

Hopefully he will scan some  1980 stuff too

Nice C/U @ SPG

hahaha   Tad  , it was a Pat Brady typo  

also @ #8 lol, brilliant lineup anyway

Oh yeah  lol .     Winfield  and JJ  were rare at the time

JJ Johnson was rare until I found him working in a supermarket in Florida

Oh yeah lol . Winfield and JJ were rare at the time

Bet you paid like i did a 100 for JJ only to see it on a front page for a fiver a couple of weeks later:-(

Thats right Chris  ,  happend  a few times that but not at £100

Did  Maxx Traxx  "Tell me" make it out on 45 ?

Pretty much same spins at many modern nights now 25 years later right?

More or less Punky   , but a few good   newies have turned up  as you know

Thats what i thought but many(not on this list) are being touted as new discoveries.

It was essential gig back then  Bins    as we played what we bought  and we had a huge choice back then . You only need the internet now

sadly jj was never rare as the bowl had quantity all along, u win some you loose some 8-

Some great new releases played down there to such as Tommy Tate, Clarence Carter and James Govan.

Waylo was an  in lable .  Remember  the Memphis Concert and Marti Pello   getting booed

One of Simon Dumores gigs

i used to love those Jools gigs, absolutely wonderful times. Hearing so many tunes i had never heard before plus all the great Scottish guys Jim,Peter, Speedy etc that were living in London at the time.

Awesome times really  ,  diverse  mix of tunes too

Les Fisher's early spots were fantastic, he always dug out some surprises.  It's a shame those late 80's London nights, seem not to get the recognition they really derserved as some great music was played.  I also picked up some really nice bits there.  I also have a fond memories of Ivor head bobbing up and down, when playing Jessie Henderson.

Very true John as they were great times as well as Parkers and the fleetwood/ Southport Weekenders. Another night that never gets a mention is the Side Door soul club with Gary Thomas, Tony Rounce, Mole, Ivor Jones plus guests. 

Yep, great days. For those that didn't see Simon's post on faceache here's a couple of sets from Jools Wine Bar. I've cut them short but I'll try and post up the full sets when I get round to it - https://www.independentmovement.co.uk/music/mixes.htm

They were A great bunch of  lads Mark , great to see Jim at your 50th.

Jim was also the king of the bad joke 

Dont you worry baby  the Best  is yet to come 

I've got a few bits from Echoes as well. Mainly early 80's.

I ought to point out that my small contribution was a collaboration between the Chalkmeister and mesen!

 

Nice one  , hopefully  I will get  some more scans   I'm trying for 1979 -80  at the moment

I'm sure I have some echoes left from 79/80.

I have a cutting of a sales add i put in Echoes somewhere,cant find it at moment but can remember i had JJ Johnson @ £100,King Moses @ £150 and SPG @ £50 funny thing is i only sold JJ Johnson from the add.

Was probably about 87/88.

Here you go Chris, one of your charts from about 25 years or so ago. 

Will post some more stuff up once I've mastered my scanner.

This was round the flat just off Tufnell Park Rd

Robin selling his modern 45s + Tolbert at £30??

 

Here's John's listing of JJ Johnson....

And then on front page focus....

Forgot about Alfreda King! bet that sounds terrible now.

This place had an impressive P.A. somewhere in East Anglia 1989.

Where was that taken Mark?? I had hair back then.

I can't remember Chris but I have a few more from the same night. I think it was either Norwich or somewhere like Cambridgeshire? 

I'm fairly sure its out towards your way, does the rather fetching artexed walls not ring any bells?

Glad you posted that Peter as confirms that Pat Brady played Eugene Smiley at Clifton Hall & judging from the rest of the list it was very early too.
