Hey up shute--dunna go confusing me now mate lol .....seriously though. I bet the 'Rules of Love' ones are rare aren't they?

Cheers Chalky--- yeah I know I shoulda done a search before posting

Morning folks Can anyone enlighten me on the Volcanoes orig version of this please Is the Arctic original titled ---(Its Against) The Laws of Love on light blue label with dark blue writing??. I have heard there was a 'version' withe the title 'Rules of Love' ?? If anyones got a label scan that would be great Many thanks Jez

Thats the baby! It transpires that it is the original. i hope so now --cos I just got one lol. Nevertheless by Lee Andrews is on Lost Night and is a boot/reissue----I think!!!!!!!. It has got me thinking though, now Toad has mentioned another--wonder what the definitive originals on this label are ???

Cheers for the info chaps. Was always apprehensive with this label ever since 197!@# and I got done up wth Candy and Kisses (81) ...Whats the other original one on this label Tim?

pm'd ya mate

..Wondered if anyone could help me on this. Was the Lee Andrews released on another label apart from Lost Nite. Reason I ask is, I seem to remember this label predominately used for re-issues/second issues and just thought this may have been an example of this. Any help much appreciated as always cheers Jez

Good call Ian Their version of 'Aint That peculiar' isn't too shabby either

Thats it mate 3 for quid around then. Stuff like the Tams, Newbeats,Mood Mosaic,Chiffons and others all brand new---it still felt like a bloody fortune though

Remove the vocals and you got a 100mph northern instrumental lol Gonna cost $12 to get it across the channel

.....and that Steve is what makes the history of this scene so compelling. Whilst we were steeped in Wheel/Torch/Cats primarily---it is fascinating that in other parts of the UK there was a 'parallel' scene at that time with regional variations on 'top sounds' of the day. I do think though it would be an absolutely mammoth task to try to collate and 'chronicle' everything. It would probably have to be done chronologically and not just based on venues because as you say--there was a lot more going on in far flung places that doesn't get mentioned but is staple to the 'roots of the scene. There is probably more 'product' out there with regards to Wigan due to its longevity and would possibly stand a better chance from an archive point of view. ....oh and how yer doing matey. Hope you and yours are well. Bumped into Stuart Garrett the other day and had a good ole chinwag.'

Bit of light hearted fun for a Sunday morning. Mind you he gets better marks for presentation .

There will be a raffle on the day and your support in whatever way you see fit is welcome and very much appreciated. thanks Jez

Sue have pm'd ya

...result Well done and a big thanks to all who made this happen

Graham Warr .........just came across this--knew he had discovered a few but.........................that is SOME list!!!!! Ref: A previous thread on here with regards to a Cats reunion at Soulvation........ Graham was already drifting away from the Rare Soul scene by the time The Cats closed and didn't bother trying to DJ here, there and everywhere, and I reckon that's why he is so under-rated. He moved on to contemporary music and became an absolute icon as a jazz funk DJ.

As we approach the first anniversary of Phil Morgan's death it seems a fitting time to celebrate his life in music. There is a (recorded) one hour internet radio show on www.ReachOnAir.com at 7pm (UK time) on Thursday December 17 (>https://www.reachonair.com/<

.........makes great reading lads T'would be interesting to 'list' some of the stuff Messrs Warr etc unearthed from the 'Cats' .........some of the stuff that 'transfered' up to the Torch at the time from there was amazing--if memory serves --Bob Relf was one and Richard Temple?

Nice list there Des pm'd ya mate Jez
