Sat Night Northern in the smaller room to the left Soul Sam & K Minsull , then remember going to a Torch revival allnighter when the main room closed. Huge dancefloor think it was one of the biggest in the UK @ the time think it was around 73 Also saw JJ Barnes at an alldayer there not long after , think it was his first visit to the UK . Anybody remember the Heavy Steam Machine alldayers around the same time?? Ian

Done it a couple of times, its appears that I am a 118 year old drunk, that drinks 11 pints a day. Ian

Hoping to be back in the UK for a Week April / May to complete a few deals, if anybody is interested in me EMailing a list to them of items I have for sale please send me an EMail, Yorkie495@aol.com Things like T Ridgley, J wallace, S Sheldon, L Varnardo, S Williams, W Hutch Cheers Ian

Looking for a copy of Sandy Wynns Touch Venus on Austalian Phillips, Anybody help ?? Cash or trade let me know Cheers Ian

Boots were on styrene pressed as issues, & originals demos & issues were vinyl. Ian

The early 70s boots were yellow with the words across the top, the originals both yellow & orange had the globe with the two hands @ the top of the label. original yellow copies are a lot rarer than the orange. Ian

Strangest one I have found has to be Mr Creator the apollos on Argentinian music Hall, nice art cover issued as el creador Apollas. Also had the patti Ausin S/A & a copy of Chapter 5 on S/A CBS Ian

Think its got to be Nolan Chance Just like the weather. Ian

Your time would be better spent in Universal Studios, the above has been cleared out many times over the years as has Bananas in st Petes. Better to look in Discoveries or Goldmine & find people selling in the area & give them a visit. Other good way is to search EBay for sellers in the area you are going, see what they have for sale, if it looks like they may have quantities of 45s arrange to give them a visit. The above has worked well for me over the years. Ian

Let me have your address when you get to OZ & will send it to you from New Zealand, can sort it out when I get back to the UK. Ian

Have a nice French 45 P/S spare if anybodys interested. Ian

Far better to get one on Canadian Sparton great looking label, lot rarer & on vinyl no syrene. Ian

If I remember its on Carmine street, also try Striders just around the corner got a few nice things fro the 2 guys that own it when I was last in NY. Cheers Ian

Got to agree with you, all this guy is right pain. had a problem with his postage costs for an LP wanted $25 to the UK. He is well known on the east coast & has & still does pick up some nice things, but I never bother as its to hard work to deal with him. Ian

Vallances just up from the Central, there was also another shop further up & also one on Boar Lane(cannot remember the name) Had some good days out in Leeds with Trevski in the early 70s but the place was Bostocks in the arcade D Cambridge, A Stevens, B Webb, loads a verve & W/Bros Triumphs, + Rat Race that was the big sound @ the Central on Friday Night & the allnighters, even got a few copies of P Parfitt on beacon. The guy who had it opened a shop in York a few years later & one Friday we found large quantity of Blue Kenny smith issues on GAR for 20p, sold them @ the oldies Nighter that night. Nobody has mentioned Record Haven in Nottingham, now who ran that???? All the best from NZ Ian
