Didn't know you had a staff Ian. That's a picture of my staff Mitzie. You wouldn't believe she's nearly 11!! Anyway, just in case we get accused of going off topic - WANTED - PICTURES OF STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER'S THAT LOOK LIKE TED AND MITZIE.

Thanks Alan. (Note to myself - GET A GOD DAMN PRICE GUIDE WENCH!!)

Ian - you've right cheered me up!

Had 3 of these - Ella Woods, Caressors, Fortson & Scott (Grrr!). Only have Ella Woods now. Anybody got an idea how much it goes for? It's always nice to know ....... Loads, Joan x

Can't remember where it was, so apologies if it wasn't yorkshire. But i did see " BRAIN RAE " was down as the guest!!

Of course. Thankyou Andy.

A lot of people feel let down by the way things have turned out - and i can't say i blame them. But I have always found Christine and Rod to be nice people. And, unlike the majority it seems, i wish them all the best in whatever they do.

I agree. You definitely shoul have been kept informed of what the situation was.

I'm obviously missing something here? Mind telling me what please? Thanks, Joan

I'd just like to say how sorry i am to hear that Sheridans has finally been sold. I'm sure i'm not alone when i say what a fantastic little venue this was. It had everything. From being a cracker of a club - to having the best bar staff and most easy going management i've ever seen. What other venue let's you carry on until you decide you've had enough and it's time to go home? I don't think any of us appreciate just how much hard work and effort - not to mention money - Christine and Rod invested in this place. I'm sure i speak for many when i say a big thankyou to them both for everything they've done for us over the years. It really is appreciated. Love and best wishes to you both. Now and always, Joan xx

Bernard Smith & Jokers Wild - Got to be a Reason - Groove. FANTASTIC RECORD (and not a lot of money either!!) :good:

Christian H you're the man. Haven't laughed so much in years.

Does the fact that you don't dance to certain records make them 'not' soul records? Or should that convince me to 'not' like them? I would've thought you'd be over the moon that there are so many of us out there with such terrible taste in records. Leaves all the proper stuff for you. Take care Joan x

Like i said............ WHAT DO I (& the countless others out there who dance to this shite) KNOW. Take care, Loads, Joan x PS: appreciate all the trouble you went to with your post!

So let me see.....that's ESTHER GRANT SHARON McMANN LONETTE MARY SAXTON BUDDY CONNNOR LES CHANSONETTES DELEGATES OF SOUL that you think are crap. If i hear ANY of these records played - it makes my night just that bit better. If i was to hear them ALL on the same night I'D FEEL SURE I MUST HAVE DIED ON THE WAY & GONE STRAIGHT TO NORTHERN SOUL HEAVEN. Not saying they're the 7 most soulful records of all time....... But hey, what do i know......? Joan

Erm......... no.... ............ i'm pretty sure i just asked the one question.

Hi Kenny, Look what Dave's just dug out and sent me..........

I'm sorry.... but are you the Christian who also thought Esther Grant was crap? Loads Joan

I'll second that Kev. We've had a Stafford reunion ...... SO HOW ABOUT SHOTT'S? Loads Joan x

I'll second that - ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC RECORD!!! Been playing this for the last few years. As for price - £30 seems very cheap - although, i guess, it's about right. If record prices were determined by the amount of soul they had in them - NONE OF US WOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD THIS ONE!! FANTASTIC. Loads, Joan

The B side of Sandy Golden has the exact same backing as Sweet -'Something about my baby'- Soultown. And let me tell ya it's pure class!!! (Just thought i'd mention it!) Loads, Joan x

Just a bit of self indulgence here on my part. Been thinking about what i'd play IF i was lucky enough to have them to play....... CHARLES BRANDY - CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU/WITHOUT YOUR LOVE-BLUE CAT SANDY GOLDEN-YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING/ALL ALONE TONIGHT-MASTERPIECE HONEY BEES - GET BACK TOGETHER / NEVER IN MILLION YEARS - GARRISON ANDY FISHER - HEARST BEATING STRONGER/JUST A LITTLE LONGER - FAT FISH WILLIE TEE - HAVIN SO MUCH FUN / FIRST TASTE OF HURT - GATUR APPOINTMENTS - SAW YOU THERE / KEEP AWAY - DELITE CONNIE VAN DYKE - WORDS WON'T COME / DON'T DO NOTHING - WHEELSVILLE THE CHANGING SCENE - WHEN THE CITY SLEEPS / CAN'T DESTROY MY LOVE JACKIE BEAVERS - NEVER GROW COLD / NEED MY BABY - REVILOT YOUNG BROS - WHAT'S YOUR NAME / BABY - SOUL POWER It's good to think big right guys?? (Hope the spelling's to your liking now!)

We all love a bargain - so what would be your Top Ten double header's? (I know there's a thread on this already. Just thought top 10's would be interesting) Here's a few i'd feel confident about putting on with me eyes shut. MASQUERADERS - HOW / I'M GONNA MAKE IT - LA BEAT SOUL CITY - COLD HEARTED BLUES / WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE - GOODTIME BILLY KENNEDY - SWEET THING / GROOVY SITUATION - THELMA OTIS LEAVILLE - KEEP ON LOVING / RIGHT BACK IN LOVE - COLUMBIA BERNARD WILLIAMS - NEEDLESS TO SAY / FOCUS ON YOU - HARTHON FABULOUS PEPS - LOVE OF MY LIFE / WITH THESE EYES - WHEELSVILLE KENNY CARLTON - LOST & FOUND/WAIT TILL I GET YOU IN MY ARMS - BLUE ROCK LARRY WILLIAMS - ASK FOR ONE GOOD REASON / I'M THE ONE - OKEH SILKY HARGREAVES - I'LL KEEP TRYING/LOVE LET'S TRY IT AGAIN - WHEELSVILLE PERFECTIONS - I LOVE YOU MY LOVE / SWEET SWEET LOVE - DURETTES - SVR (would dearly love to be able to put both sides of the Perfections........ DON'T SUPPOSE THERE'S ANYONE OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP ME WITH THAT?) Suppose i'd better open me eyes now ......... OUCH!! WHAT IDIOT PUT THESE DECKS ON A STAGE!!
