No record is too common for this theme. we are talking real yoof club classics here. Shotgun wedding I Can't Turn You loose People Dance To The Music Ride Your Pony and there's more Tony

Picking up from the thread about What If Motown had bombed, well just recently been digging out and buying the more common stuff for a coupla Hand bag nights and re hearing stuff like I spy Mr. pitiful Soothe Me Harlem Shuffle Rescue Me etc etc reminds me how good this stuff was, and why we decided to dig a bit deeper Cheers Tony

Surely not the only one on here to know Carlos(Carl Wong). His Mam and Dad owned a bakery on the corner of West Park St and Phoebe St in Salford, where we used to fill up on warm mini Hovis at penny ha'penny each. Later moved to Cadishead,where me and Rick met up with him again and started going to The Carlton in Warrington ( Now there IS a forgotten Club). Cheers Tony

Ta, any idea on value?? Tony

Carlos, a very nice Half Chinese Lad who was a good mate of mine and Ricky's from when we was Babes in arms in Salford. Had a good record collection, bought a lot from a certain Mr Soussan, had one of the first copies of Paul Anka, labels removed at source so as not to identify it,. Not seen for years, believed to be now living in San Francisco. Next Question Please. Tony

Hi all Just picked up Now that I found You -Penny on Kelton. Think it's been played, but anybody know owt?? Ta Tony

Sorry for slipping the thread a bit. Gangsters and Nightlife is another story entirely. Or is It???? Tony

Deffo, and also a song of course, The Boy's Are Back In Town-Thin Lizzy is an allegedly thinly veiled "trbute" Tony

Could be very interesting. but if you expanded it into a history of the Club Scene in Manchester .which from the early sixties onwards had "nightlife" to rival London, so much so that Krays fancied a bit, but they got sent home by the Quality Street Gang (must be a film in that somewhere). The Clubs and "characters" are legendary, I know it's been tried before, but not in detail. Go for it lad. Tony

Weed, David?? Violence, David?? Surely Not!. If you still play out get yerself down to The Vic in Heywood on August 28th, Ricky Warburton will be playing some out for us and you can meet tha man behind the mask Tony

Dave I'm your worst nightmare Somebody from along way back who remembers everything Flat on Whitaker Lane ring a Bell? Rowntrees? Railway & Nats? Bongo's? Dave & Rods Market Stall? Brian Walker and Me at the Piccadilly Club? Carolines? Any of this coming back? Tony from SALFORD!!
