Dennisoul Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 There have been lots of threads on the legend Pete Lawson about his various adventures on the northern scene, but do any of you soulies have items that he left before he went to the big allnighter in the sky........I found and old cardboard record sleeve from a record that I bought from him way back at one of the Allanton/ Shotts allnighters. Petes desriptions verbally were out this world and so were his record sleeve comments as you can see below...I`ve been lookin for this for years and have just found it again...brings back fond memories Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jumpinjoan Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I know Andy... weren't his record sleeves great.. better than the records inside them a lot of the time! Have got loads and loads of letters from him... used to get on average at least a couple a week... ranging from the certifiable to really sweet... He certainly was a very complex person... and yet he wasn't.. if you know what i mean. Feel very proud to have the memories i have of the man..

Mick Howard Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ah yes Pete Some great and not so great memories. He stayed with me for a couple of days in Halifax back in the late 80's and my then wife couldn't make head nor tail of him. He was cutting EMI's at a studio in Huddersfield near the Fish n' Chip shop I had at the time. I also remember one time on a trip up to Scotland and he didn't shut up all the way up and all the way back down - and he was straight at the time!!! I will have a look to see if I've got anything but again I don't think that I've got any photos 'cos they were left behind when I split up with Jayne.

Mick Howard Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Andy (& others) I had a good look through what's left of my 'stuff' and have found a couple of things of Pete's including a photo taken on a minibus on our way to Scotland (Allanton I think). I'll post them when I've scanned them. Shute I also found issue 2 of 'The Gospel According to Dave Godin' but wouldn't mind a copy of issue 1 (must've lost my copy along the way) if you would copy it for me (I'll pay for the copying and P&P of course). If you're agreeable then send me a personal. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Mick Howard Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Andy Tell me how to copy a document (pdf file) into this medium - I've got a sales tape list from Pete just before he died. Regards Mick Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest frenchie Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ive still have Petes mag that he did............ the gospal according to Dave Godlin......... think thats what is was called, must dig it out and take another look after all these years........................................................................... ......... I did the artwork for 'Gospel' and sorted the printing out for Pete. I cant believe I've lost my copies, mind you, it was a few years ago now. He met Godin through Stan from Preston. How ironic Godin did a reading at his funeral. As a present for helping him with the magazine, Pete gave me 4 unpressed paper labels that he'd got off Godin. They are the first releases of Godins record labels; Soul City 001, Soul Deep 91001, Right On 110 and the never issued four, forty four (444). I have them in a frame on my wall. Nice one Pete, I'll never forget you mate ;-)) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
