It wasn't a flyer, it was a big shiny poster, they gave them out at the casino. I had one on my bedroom wall. I wonder if there are any left anywhere?

I HAVE A DIFFERANT CASINO POSTER HEART OF SOUL NICE LOL

You are correct it was a poster,for some reason i didnt get one back then,anyway i did get a great jpeg image of one off the net but seemed to have lost it.

I dont think there is many originals about,i seen one on ebay years back but it was a copy.

Its just that the pics in the corners have some casino friends on and i would like a copy for someone.

Yeah it's a shame Neil. I thought it was great for 1980 and brilliant they included all the backroom staff.

I suppose at the time it was one of those throwaway things and like i say probably ended up on bedroom walls them ripped down and binned. Ah for foresight eh? Surely there's one somewhere? I wonder if Russ has any left?

Bloody great...found it,i did a file recovery on a old hard drive a while back and saved the pics in a folder and there it was....pm me if you want it .

Yeah i reckon most have been binned over the years but there bound to be few originals about probably cost more than frank wilson-do i love you tho .

I have one it stands proudly on my wall framed up at the boom of the stairs, nice to see mrs woods smiling face everymorning, instead of every staurday night

The poster i have posted is a good decent sized jpg file so it can be resized without losing too much quality,i have done A4 glosy prints of it and they are fine.

Aaah .......................that was it (he writes pretending to remember

) thanks for putting me straight Paul

Which anniversary ? Must 've been after the 6th one 'cos I didn;t start going till one week after the 5th one.

Cheers Paul

I've got one rolled up somewhere, never got round to having it framed

I know it's a long shot and a lot of time has passed since they were printed but you just never know.Try and find out from Russ who the original printer was, they might still have the artwork filed away as they were litho printed in 4 colour process. Lot's of these old town printers never throw anything away and if they still have it might be willing to part with it. Bet the original negs. would be worth a kings ransom to a collector. The printers would probably think anyone was mad wanting them after all this time, just don't tell em why. Good luck. Tony e. oz k.t.f.

CASINO POSTER

Yep, that's identical to the one I've got framed and hanging in my "soul room" ....which doubles as "my" bedroom.....it has faded however .....and I snore (sometimes)

Hiya Neil

We've still got one as well along with quite a few others, have been decorating the room so they will be going back up soon in new frames. Shame I didn't see this before but only just got back from our hols as your only over the bridge you could have come over and got it copied.

youve reminded me of the time my mother threw all my memorabilia out, along with me spencers with patches, and also my t-shirts with patches! all i have left is a signed napkin of edwin starr. i expected her to keep it all safe in the cupboard... i think the phrase rhymes with clucking bell!!!

I'd be gutted, we've got all kinds hanging around including my full circle skirt and a pair of trousers I used to wear I still don't believe I used to be that thin . The bottom of the trousers are about twice the width of the waist and I'd had to have the waist taken in.

Sharon

I am on it so it would to see it again

TIA

Really!!

Which one is you then mate? Interested as I'm on it too. That's me with the record box in the back bar. I was obviously going through my tweeds and cardie period

Godz

Its such a small photo I can hardly see you, interested to know what you had in the box Godzi and have you sold them.

I am above you in the other picture bright yellow T shirt, I was thinking there's a bloke on the stage with a camera and it looks like he is taking a picture of us and he did.

Can any one scan just sections of them, I have seen most of these pictures elsewhere so the original negatives of these shots and in black white as well are around .

Sorry its not a flyer as such..But its an advert from the Blues & soul mag Cica 1974

Ant,last time i seen the larger pics from the corner of the poster(only in b/w)but it was a larger pic of the one of you and some people i know in was on the onceuponatimeinwigan website(its not there any more tho)..there is some on here that was involved in that site so you could always ask?.

This poster was in an article in a Swedish music magazine in 1996.

First time I read about Northern Soul and what got me hooked!

Funny, but I don't remember it opening at 2AM! Did the times change over the years? (Probably too off me t*ts to notice at the time! ) BTW, does anyone have the old Cleethorpes poster with the fist? that one was really large, if I remember rightly.
