I thought went I saw the photo ,and when Bully mentioned Some Kinda Mushroom that it did'nt look like the shop I knew. I have racked my brain for years now trying to remember where abouts in Chesterfield it was( the original shop ) . All I can remember is there where records boxed up by the thousand on display in the middle of the room. I loved shops like that , Daves Surplus in Derby , Freddie Crooks in Heanor , all treasure troves. Alas , Alan Day of The Torch fame dropped onto Dave Surlus and Freddie Crooks and raided the joints .

Here here sir , this show should have been made compulsory for all soul minded people to listen to , fcukin brilliant

Very good price on 21st generation Roger , brilliant piece of x/over

Thank you . Tony

Anyone got any ideas as to the value of SAMMIE RELFORD - WE ARE STRONGER - SPACE CITY - ALBUM Please Tony

A bit late for that remark now . You had no right to say that , just because it is not YOUR taste in music . I read many play-lists on here , most are brilliant because they are aimed at the punter . If I saw one that I thought was a bit iffy I would not even bother finishing the post . That remark you made was darn right rude mate , most probably the rudest thing i've read on here .

Ouch !!!!! . Btw what do you call ''dancing soul'' ?

Personally I love reading them , they never include same old same old . Therefore I find them very informative . I use them to cherry pick events , I don't get much chance these days to get to events , so I like to be sure I am going to get what I pay for. I am basically a collector , but do enjoy doing the odd DJ spot , I don't do as many as I would like , so when the opportunity arises I will post a play list and to be honest there is an element of pride in there , but also I would like to think some viewers look at it and think'' that is just the sort of stuff that would benefit a venue that they run . However I also think that if I was a DJ first rather than a collector I would not post playlists i would have no need to post them , punters more likely than not know what a 'a' list jock will play or at least the genre he/she will play. Just going back to my first point , why are there never any same old, same old top 500 list up?

Simon he DJ at CLeo's , did he hang round with Paul Baxter and Dave Milton ?

I'm fine Peter thank you . I spend a lot of my younger days in record shops , from leeds to Birmingham . But most of the time I was in Selecta-disc (Arkwright St ) or RE-Cords in Derby . Hector worked at both shops , but it was RE-cords I got know him , I think he worked there same time as Chris Lemon , he was one of the scenes true gentlemen . In them days if I had spent all my cash on records Hector would just say ''Shove em under your coat youth , pay me when you can , just don't tell Dave (owner) . And that was form day one , I had met him at various clubs , Cleo's being one of them . He later changed direction Musically heading more for the funk scene. That is where I lost touch basically . I later heard he had change his musical taste even more oddly , I believe he promoted The Ajanta Club in Derby , it was Derby's first and premier Punk venue . After that he moved down London and alas I did not hear from him again , I may still owe him £3.50 for a copy of Sandy Wynns - A Touch Of Venus .

Thanks Gilly , Hector back in Derby , wonder if he still has his records.

Had some good times with this fella ,anyone know where he is now . Last I heard of him he was in London.

Brilliant , also reminiscent of The Dungeon and Beachcomber in Nottingham .
