The Tempest

I was lucky enough to get the last year of Stafford and was introduced to the Latin sounds that were big at that time , Spanish Maiden , Bobby Valentin , etc and more importantly the above which was a big tune mid eighties tune in Scotland on the scene I haven’t known anything else as for me they have been around on the scene as long as I have ! However I can imagine the Wigan crowd at that time walking off the dance floors in droves !!! But I guess that is why the scene is so forward thinking and diverse with dj’s taking the risk and seeing the dance floor reaction , don’t get me wrong there’s still a lot of dross played out there !!

Last copy on here was £175

Nice one That cheered up my Monday morning

Just has it confirmed Now the Jaipur Spice restaurant

Newspaper advert from 1977 - with Soul Sam and a young Richard Searling guesting next - where was it ? Is this the Punch Bowl now ?

Sealed copy of this Rare and Underplayed Soul Sam 12 " spin £50 including p & p

Baltic Soul - Excellant

Old Gary Rushbrooke spin at Stafford - it makes me smile when I use the term oldies nowadays as for me they’ll always be newies of that time !!!

I know your after the 45 BUT It came out on a late 70’s jap ABC compilation also Just letting you know ....

Thanks - I just watched it - very interesting - but as echoed in the programme - very sad end

Well done boys ! Miss Marple will be turning in her grave ! 👍🏻

👍🏻

Cheers mate

Am trying to source a copy of the Sunday magazine supplement from the eighties that did the feauture on Stafford Chalky has kindly sent me the images from it but neither of us can remember the supplement , Times , Guardian , etc , month , year , etc ..... Any body remember it ? Or more importantly got the mag ?

You beat me to it ! Brill

Old Soul Sam spin - still getting plays today

Always loved it - but considering it’s an oldie you never hear it ! Even when I started out early 80’s it was rarely heard - pure class

Leicester Oddfellows 4th Anniversary at 5 am ! Not inappropriate for me as a newcomer ! But for the dj - questionable to their reputation ! My first English all-nighter anniversary having travelled down from Scotland at 16 yrs of age by train after telling my folks I was sleeping two streets away at home ! Yes we’ve all been there ! - as you can imagine at that time of the morning the dance floor was flagging Asked for the Just Bros . Sliced Tomatoes - Can’t remember who the dj was - But they shook their head as if to say “ SERIOUSLY ! “ I pleaded as my favourite instrumental - kicked to death at that time BUT I had come so far and was leaving soon , so he succumbed ! Packed the floor as soon as he played it ! And I stood in awe watching the guys and girls from the 1st Anniversary video dance and spin that I had watched in my mates house years earlier Still makes me smile today when I here it sampled on my kids mixes and tv adverts But for me , 5 am Loughborough Town Hall

Last copy on Pat Brady’s site went for £490 - a great record that has stood the test of time - trouble is nowadays most are tucked away in collections and it seldom comes up for sale - nice flip side to - good luck

It’s gone guys

Cheers guys 👍🏻
