It's like Nanna said after Elsie died. "it's like losing a limb" Tony

A Ha Tony

I've got a Willie Darrington, pretty sure it's 2nd issue though, what's the difference?? Tony

Ricky Warburton from Salford. Why? Known him nearly all my life. both got into Soul at the youth Clubs. both went to the Pendulum together( He went to The Torch, my dad wouldn't let me play out all night) Blue Rooms, Carlton, Mecca, then onto Wigan, then marriage( not together ) lost touch for about 12 years, found out roughly where he lived, went for a wander to see if I could suss it out, there he was sat in his front garden, first words to me after all that time???? "Hiya Tone. Wanna Brew?" Also has a very nice collection Tony

Just a thought, is it not more a case of re evaluating stuff that seems to have found it's day?? For example- Al Downing -I'm Just Nobody, which I bought for next to nowt last year, played by Mr Searling on't radio as one of the most sought after at the moment.(It is OK though) Tony

Most people semm to agree that the bigger "names" deserve a higher fee. But, what difference does having the "big names" make to the turnout??? If you're getting a regular 100 or so in, would having one of these bring in another 50 or more? Whaddya reckon?? Tony

T'other side-First Dance Fear- is actually better-not great, but better. It's OK for a Fiver or so. Tony

It's on Sussex, should be around £20 or so- well worth getting and playing out ATB Tony

Maybe so,but then your stuck with what to do with all these ex smokers living longer, where's the money gonna come from to keep us in our dotage?? Government should give all us "lepers" gold clocks-we pay tax on everything,all our NI contributions and then when it's time for us to collect-----we're DEAD! What about all the money the NHS spends on alcohol related ilnesses etc. I don't know anybody who smoked all night then went and attacked a nurse. When was the last time somebody who'd been smoking all night, got behind the wheel of a car and wiped someones family out?????? All things in moderation, it aint beyond the wit of man to have designated areas with proper climate controls for us to enjoy the odd Stick of Death. Tony

Also done by Ecstasy,Passion & Pain on UK PYE, Along with another couple that are similar,titles escape me at the mo' ATB Tony

Aw come on folks. Who gives a fcuk. every time "they" try to say something they get it wrong. Thank Christ for Art school arseholes sez I, keeps the Culture Vultures away! (now wheres my copy of The Snake??) Tony

just have to say that the other side "When I'm In Your Arms" is simply wonderful. Tony

Just thought I'd ask. As this is still predominately a Dancing scene, if the tune you've just slapped on dies a death would/should you cut it and put something else on instead???? It's something I used to do a long time ago, and I have done it a coupla times since, but......what do reckon????? Tony

I used to have the Bobby Newton one, got it in a Soul pack from B&S. If I remember correctly, it's got the Dance Steps on the back Tony

Muchas Grassy Arse. Tony

Hi all, What d'ye reckon pricewise for Going To a Happening - on UK Vocalion issue? Ta Tony

How about The Velvelettes---These Things Will Keep Me Loving You. Exactly the same tune but completely different lyrics on the single from the version on Motown Chartbusters 6 (which happens to be the version also put out on the This is Northern Soul, Motown CD that Chris King put together) ATB Tony

Not cloudy here, However. First choice should have been either Leo's Sunship--Give Me The Sunshine or Roy Ayers--Everybody Loves The Sunshne,, or maybe not Cheers Tony

Played it a coupla times at Heywood, mine's on the Tear's Of A Clown lp Tony

Have a few white demos which don't exactly glow. Any body know a sfe and effetive way of cleaning 'em Ta Tony

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Mary Saxton- Losing Control sounds a bit like Tina Turner doing a foreigner, hmmmm? Tony

Why do we have to worry about who walks through the door as a newie. Either this music grabs you by the nuts and turns your life around or it does'nt.There aint no middle ground! Those that get it will stay, those that don't will feck off to the next big thing. BUT first, they gotta hear it. Tony

Being of a certain age, More Stax/Atlantic/Motown than you can shake a stick at, but for starters.... Funky St.--Arthur Conley Mr. Pitiful--Otis Redding Behind A Painted Smile-- Isleys Baby Boy---Fred hughes Am I the same Girl--Barbara Acklin Higher & Higher---Jackie wilson Soulfinger-- Barkays.. Can't do clips at work. On ya go! Tony

As an interesting aside, I am told that the favour was returned by Martha and the girls doing backups on "Ask The Lonely". Tony
