Hi Rocco I've got a copy for sale. Its a demo, labels are clean and so is the vinyl, although there is a bit of a crackle on the play in.. Nothing serious though! I have just noticed a tinytinytiny (Very slight) edge warp which doesn't affect play.. Yours for £35 quid and post free if you are in the UK. If you are interested my email is tone5446@tiscali.co.uk Thanks Tony

Is this Dry your eyes the same as Brenda & the Tabulations orig?

The Torch was the dog's bo**ocks, the dancing, the records, the gear, the 240 mile drive to get there, the clothes, even the bogs (more disgusting than Wigan's),the atmosphere, and the fact that the scene was fairly young at the time (nothing to be cynical about) all made it the best allniter as far as I'm concerned. Just a note about Major Lance at the Torch, sadly, on his first appearance (Oct 72) there, he was under-rehearsed, the band was crap and if I remember rightly he sang My Sweet Lord........... The attached pic shows Major Lance backstage at the Torch (Oct 72) - Judy Moss also in photo (hiya Judy) plus unknown chaps

I was that Tony Ellis and I deny ever giving a lift to a Haddock or any other type of fish for that matter and furthermore, I've always preferred the inside lane, although I may have ventured into one of the other lanes on a couple of occasions in order to overtake Jon Buck on his moped.

Jay, . You can also see Derek as he was then, on the cover of the footsee 45, he's the one not wearing a vest

Haven't posted for a while but thought I ought to warn people about an ebay dealer who says he/she collects northern amongst other things. This twat lives in Norfolk and leaves negative feedback for deals that to all intents and purposes have gone smoothly. I paid for 3 discs in Oct 07, received the discs ok, left positive feedback and forgot all about it, until the other day (22 Jan 08) when the moron left me negative feedback with no explanation why. I have emailed the person but have had no response and on looking at his feedback have noticed that I am not the only one to have had this done to them. Naturally Ebay are not interested. Does anyone know the person, if they do please kick him or her up the jacksie for me. This spanner also has an email address listed as Soulgroove@fsmail.net - ring any bells? Tony

Top times for me was when I first "discovered" the Northern scene at Terry Davis's soul nights at the Fountain in the Mile End road in 72 (or was it 73, I dunno) . This led on to trips to the Torch and the Mecca during the most important period of the scene. It was all fairly new then and also mostly free from all the bollocks that goes on these days, (and the gear was better). Tone

yes it is

Please pass on my deepest sympathy to all the family. So sad. Tony

I remember him when he was Howlin' Wilf. I've had the "People Gonna Talk" CD for ages, its a brilliant album covering many styles, played regularly at chez moi. Tone

my spies in the north tell me that there are still enclaves of retro-soulsters still wearing this stuff at do's. I'll find out where and post info tomorrow. Tone

Nothing wrong with the button down, perry, loafers, brogues look, its a classic style that almost always looks good, whereas the bags 'n vest 'n badge brigade just look plain daft these days. If you're anywhere near my age, what photos would you rather look at, those taken of you in the 70s, all hair and moustaches, or the ones taken in the 60s? - I know when I looked the smartest. tone Your Man @ C&A
