    Robinsons was more expensive mate and better quality. First weeks wages ( yes from the pit ) in July 1977 put £5 deposit on a pair which were about £28 I think. Had about 6 pair plus a suit from there over the next couple of years. The dogs nuts ….. at the time

    Robinsons was the only Tailors in Mansfield in those days Jeloneks weren't a patch ( ) on them

    Eat 4 shredded wheat and you too can dance till dawn……………….. Yet another low point, how much more can a person take

    She's pretty good I reckon

    My advice? Don't think you have to wear a uniform to be a part of it, you don't. Just dress like any other 20 year old. Vinyl wise, the scene is built on original records and there are plenty of cheaper end ones to get your teeth into for a start, plus some good reissue labels like kent. Don't buy any of those shite modern bootlegs that are all over ebay. Find a local venue that suits you and get out and enjoy yourself, thats what its all about - don't take it too seriously BUT take time to learn the way of things. All the best with it

    I'm with Bazza, isn't it a slightly different version on the advert?
  7. Steve L
    Never seen him, is he still selling on there? Alan is the only record seller I'm aware of in recent years on the market
  8. Steve L
    He hasn't sold anything for 30p in the last 6 years mate, £2 yes but 30p no…..

    I first heard it on a tape in the early 80s ( see my post in the "Er Youth" thread ) can't recall ever hearing it played out though
  10. Steve L
    I'm with you mate
  11. Steve L
    These are from the early 80s, still got the tapes & play em in the car occasionally.

    Easy one for me, the Four Perfections live at Radcliffe… just magic

    Fabulous playlist, could you find a better one..? I doubt it
  14. Steve L
    please end this thread…………...

    I reckon that would have been slightly later, can't remember such things being played in late 79 and I didn't go in 1980
  16. Steve L
    You're probably right but I'm Not built This Way is probably one of the least forgotten records I can think of so it seems strange to post it in a thread about forgotten records. BTW giving your opinions is what this is all about, don't take offence
  17. Steve L
    Hardly a forgotten record is it?
  18. Steve L
    No its not
  19. Steve L
    The world's full of idiots…………..both buyers and sellers. Makes you want to pack in and leave em to it

    Robb thats a bit unfair, if it hadn't been for us in the UK the vast majority of this music would have been unheard, unrecognised and lost in the mists of time. Fair enough, there might be some in the US who collect and love the records but surely in the grand scheme of things they are a small part of the world wide exposure that the music has had due to the Uk soul scene?
  21. Steve L
    Exactly, many people returned in the 90s or later with no knowledge of the records that were played after the mid-70s. Nearly 20 years later and most of them are still unaware……. apologies though - don't want to deflect the thread. We've been around that tree enough times in the past
  22. Steve L
    And me, nothing to be embarrassed about

    The soundtrack of my time at Wigan, scandalous that most of these records have been neglected by the oldies scene over the last 20 years - I'd love have a night out with the records played based on this period
  24. Steve L
    I'll be saving the whole lot somewhere as a definitive list of what was played at Wigan. Sterling work Pete

    I bet no one else has had their membership card stolen by a burglar Mine was blue BTW, still got the blues & soul with the page cut out… 1978
