Where can I get it from Paul?

Got a black echoes from Dec 1977 with this advertised at £1.25 along with all the others of that time (Colin Bee I think or one of the other mail order ones)

I seem to remember that at the time Nottingham was reputed to have the best looking women in the country

Got Manships book Pete, I meant more along the lines of who did em, where, when etc I suppose the who bit is a bit of a delicate one to broach in public?

Cheers Pete, there ought to be a book on this subject I find it quite interesting. Would love more info on the whole subject of 70s pressings if you or anyone else can point me in the right direction?

Were they all done at Monarch? If not where else and were any done in the UK? Wish I'd paid more attention at the time

Thanks mate

I am middle aged

Me too

Interesting stuff mate, was there that night - cant remember so many records being played twice! Also with mr Searlings reputation since those days being what it is, it show's he is actually a mere mortal playing some of the lesser quality tunes of the day Still the top dog though!

As mentioned they were just classed as imports in the record shops and on mail order lists, they used to come with an official looking sticker on the sleeve (some I've still got have a "mecolico" logo and "specially imported by soul bowl" etc) There must have been a majority of pressings with some legal reissues and the odd originals all mixed in? Cant remember much about them at venues, I bought most of mine from local record shops. Cost was 85p in 1974 for imports and I think British were 55p and looking at old Black echoes they'd gone up to £1.25 by 1978

Agree with dthedrug, very interesting Rick love to read stuff like this

Bearsy for someone whos not been on the scene for that long your assessment of most things is spot on and you've nailed it here mate Can of worms though

Heard Lord Lucan has been spotted wandering the streets of Nottingham a few days ago after being ousted from his hiding place Seriously there could be all sorts at the bottom of those piles
