Good question, at that age I know I wouldnt have been seen dead in a place full of 50 somethings Love to see young uns out and about enjoying the music though

Hopefully, for us mere mortals at the bottom of the food chain

dont feel sorry for me barney - i love it

I concur

The one in question is the first one Roger posted With 46 drums.. on the flip

Anyone aware of a bootleg copy of this on Back Beat?

True, there's some skeletons in that box of his!

I'm not saying that they dont but from my personal perspective I dont see them at the venues I go to or venues I've gone to over the years. I tell a lie I can remember some at Wigan in 79. I've often seen quotes about how the two are intertwined but for me they're not. Dont really know anyone on the scene who's into scooters either. I'll check the carpark at Lifeline, Burnley, Rugby niters etc next time I go but I dont think I'll see too many

I agree, I think most people selling a collection would stuggle to sell a high percentage doing it individually. obviously depends on the records but if i list 10 records (cheaper end) I'm lucky if I sell one

This hits the nail on the head. For me personally scooters or anything connected with them have had no bearing on the northern scene whatsoever.

Brilliant - thanks for that

Cheers pete

Yeah same here

Hey grant, I remember you and the trousers very well from that time. I was with Mart and the Mansfield crowd. Prince & Princess was one of my fave records at at that time, sadly forgotten by a lot of people I think. Also I think the dancing at that time was distinctive compared to other eras and seem to remember you dancing that way? I think you can tell sometimes, people who went at that time by the way they dance. You got any photos?

What a waste of good beer!

Boba just to put you on the right track here, in our culture the term "wank" has 2 meanings 1) the act of masturbation (for males) 2) an adjective meaning poor (in the sense of quality) ie shit, crap, useless etc If you are described as a "wanker" ( also tosser) it is more to do with meaning 2 than meaning 1 Hope that clarifies

Lovely M- condition, £40 £2 recorded del, paypal as gift preferred

So its being released legitimately on a UK label? Which one and by who? The white label "test press" is legal as well then? I stand corrected and apologise if this is indeed the case

UK release? Test press? You mean bootleg dont you?

Let me get this straight, are you saying you'd rather pay £50 more for a record to buy it from JM rather than someone else? And buying has never been better - for who ?? People with large bank accounts?? You like paying more for stuff do you? Does this policy also apply to your other financial outgoings? you must have plenty thats all I can think

:yes:
