Paul R

Pete was a good mate of mine back in the early to mid '70s when I live in Ormskirk. I remember at one of the Burnley Mecca All dayers in 74/75 me and Gossy were taking the piss out of a certain Blackpool DJ giving it some "hero worship" he turned round to us with a smile on his face which quickly dropped as he said "Oh! your Pete Lawsons mates aren't you". He was a great guy and is surely missed. All the best Pete RIP Paul Rimmer

I've noticed over the last few weeks since I found this site that Al Wilsons "The Snake" gets a bit of stick. When I first went to St. Maries Youth club disco in Southport in 1971 the Snake was my favorite sound(I was only 13) so there is a place in my soul for it. On the other hand, Johnny Vonelli needs shooting. Also as a non attender within the scene for many years, what is Steve Flannigan contributing. I'd rather hear good ol' Al Wilson than him. And who is Stuart Ames? What are the worst tracks ever played?

I've posted a few on this thread as Pompeysoul but now I'm a member so I'll continue. Back in about 74 I found a load of the Bob & Earl B&C(With My Little Girl Etc) albums on a market in Liverpool for 89p. Sold 1 per week at Wigan for about a fiver. Also When they started playing "The Night" I had seen a copy at my local shop in Ormskirk for 25p another fiver on Saturday night!
