Ha ha... that is the ice cream story... where did i get Dairy milk from? I know... it was a Dairy Milk Ice Cream Lolly! I think it's times like these we should remember her by... her lovely smile...

Know who you mean now Kirsty... So very sad. My thoughts go out to her family and friends. Remember being in Rob the Stick's Land Rover... me and Tony in the back... Teresa in the front. Rob ended up going up this massive curb... sorry.. central reservation type thingy ... all of us ended up being thrown up in the air... records everywhere... along with a bar of Dairy Milk we were trying to eat... couldn't find it anywhere... until Teresa went to get out of the car... and found she was stuck to the seat... so funny....

Serves me right for trying to be sneaky... doesn't seem to work!

I'm sure Mike won't mind... just this once

The big boss man Mike plays this regularly... never known him to sell anything though!

Well.. i was nearly there... i'm only a girl after all! They do look identical though... ask Rob.. had a bit of fun with him giving him back a boot as a laugh... oh and we did laugh.... Rob Now anyone any idea of a value?

My opinion... for what its worth... is that this is a hard record. I got mine off Rob Marriot in the early 90s... not seen another for sale since.. but then again.. I haven't been looking. Great tune Just looked it up in Manship's 3rd edition... and it's not there! I'm sure I don't need to mention to be careful... because the bootlegs look identical to the original... except for the bell sound stamp.

Sorry about that Phil... can you ever forgive me? I WISH So who's the lucky winner then?

Have to admit... I really like 'HIP TEENS'. Although... I must admit that the first time I heard it I was already on the dancefloor before I realised it wasn't Edward Hamilton 'I'm Gonna Love You Baby'

Nice one fella... I've had this for a while... and I love it!

... but so true!!

Uh oh... does that mean you'll be selling yours now Paul? Its not like you play it anyway....

This is one fantastic record... Will somebody else please play this out so I can dance to it... awesome piece of soul music

It was played quite a lot actually... a good few years ago now mind... 2 great sides for sure

Good point! I'll never forget DJing somewhere and putting my records behind the decks as you do... not realising the lights nearby were giving out more heat than the sun! When I went to pick up my box... it burnt my hand... I had a massive blister in seconds! Luckily for me I had just that week got a brand new box which was really well padded all the way round inside. The box was that hot... if it hadn't been for the padding... they would have melted for sure.

What a great thread. Putting the music into context has always been of great interest to me... almost as much as the music itself! Great stuff.... thanks guys

That's all well and good when you stay in the same place all night Dave. But not so good when you're partial to the odd dance or two!

Thanks Trev... but you haven't seen my records... ex or mint condition most of them ain't! I'm a bit like the RSPCA... but for records... I take in all the waifs and strays... orphan and abandoned record's nobody else wants. Rare Soul in Poor Condition Association!

Smaller more inimate venues where you know most everybody there aren't the worry so much. It's the big venues the size of a small country where you hardly know anyone that make me feel uneasy. If the stage can't be seen at all times I panic... it would be so easy for someone to just walk up and off they go. Also... people coming up on stage while you're Djing is a worry too imo... while you're putting a record on... Happened to Ian Cunliffe too while he was DJIng.

This has got to be one of the best double siders ever... although i very much doubt you'll get one for that price. If anyone's got one for £600-£700... i'll give you £800!

This has worried me for years Trevor... but more so recently. Not that I'm saying my records are anything special... but they are mine and took years to collect... and at the end of the day... while practically everyone else has a better box than me... these are the only records I've got and if anything happened to them it would finish me. I remember Kenny Burrell doing exactly what you described at a venue a few years ago. At the time I thought it was a bit OTT... but now... I think not. You wouldn't walk into a niter with a bag that contained thousands of pounds in cash... and then proceed to leave the bag on the stage unattended while you went off enjoying yourself would you? Yet you do the exact same thing when you leave your record box unattended at a venue. Scary!

What a fantastic record... and what a lot of soul for your tenner...!
