Got me thinking…biggest regret


Kenb

Recommended Posts

Two recent SS topics aligned like the planets for me today!

1.       Northern Soul and Age in 2017 - Carry On Regardless?

2.       Yate, Just A Distant Memory ? (original post 2006)

 

Which got me thinking…biggest regret?

What’s yours? It's maybe that '"i wish i would have momemnt" or records, people, artists, venues, visits, events, lost a record, sold one,...

Mine is missing out on some of the great records played at the post M/T/W era. Many of which were played out by DJ’s (who also feature & contribute as members on this site) at other venues around the UK.

Not music related but happened at the Casino. 39 years ago I  was meeting my then girlfriend there and happened to take a friend to the Casino who had never been before. Who just happened to be a girl. When my girlfriend who was waiting on the stairs to the balcony saw me with this friend she just walked off . I never ever saw her again even though she lived in my home town of Widnes . I would give anything to explain to her what really happened even after all this time.

Hiya, no regrets, lived a great a manic life.  Always skint, been so poor at times but it's been fantastic, as my 70 odd older brother said to me recently ' pete I know I have properties, money etc but you have had a fantastic life while I was trying to build mine' of course I have missed moments but not regrets (liar)  Carl Carlton- backbeat 6 or 8 quid ? No thanks another round, constellations 10 quid and my favourite missed chance was back in the seventies  and I still love the record ' good times on lamp- my comment at the time ' what a great soulful  tune but the beat is a bit too ska like, it will never catch on'   I have / had/ may still have and I'm sure ? It was on a casino tape ?  Cheers

Being off my head on some dodgy chemic or other at the Ritz alldayer when the Ric Tic review was on spent allmost the entire show locked in the bogs with the screaming abdabs . Think I may have caught a bit of Al Kent all a bit hazy ( drugs are bad ) 

Presume it was a good show and missed something special :(

There is some out there, just getting hold of it.  Pete Hollander took some for one.

Bollocks, how can you work that out, we didn't get decimalisation til 1972.

Never mind the bollocks old lad. Decimalisation was introduced on 14th February 1971 - so you're a year out there. As for the working out I didn't do that - this site did -  https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-1633409/Historic-inflation-calculator-value-money-changed-1900.html

Just put us a pint of what's good in your local on the bar Kegsy!

Giving in (so many times in the old days) to Paul Temple's constant bickering to sell him this or that 45 or UK LP . . . . it was easier in the end to let the rekkids go than to have to listen to him asking over & over again.

NON REGRET . . . . being the age I am. This allowed me to be around 'on-the-scene' (mid to late 60's) in the golden age of UK soul (mod) clubs AND to see so many great artists live in their heyday.

Selling most of the big tunes in my collection (Total value achieved £4000) in 1980 to put a deposit on my first marital home......

10 years later when I was getting back into collecting I worked out that the value of the records I let go would have bought the house I was living in outright twice over !!!!!!       Should have kept my collection and taken out  a 100% mortgage from the start instead :(

many years ago at a market stall, I bought -send him back- for a quid, that was all I had on me at the time, I passed on- I`m standing- ex+ stateside issue for the same price as for some reason I thought I`d already got a copy !!!
