Markw

September 1981 - Wigan Casino closes 1981 (sometime) - first 6ts all niter at the 100 Club

If it's the same one Mark, I remember that Seven Souls issue back in the early 80s. I seem to recall you bought it at Stafford off Ian Clark for about £20. A few weeks later, one side was covered with more cardboard and sellotape than Asda use in one of their distribution centres in a whole year! DJed OK until another one came along though......................

In your dreams Karen! When he gets excited, he's got tattoos of all the major soul club logos on there...........

Dull.

This is the crux of it with JM auctions I think. I could be totally off the mark, but are quite a number of his buyers collectors from overseas maybe? Perhaps less so for the really big ticket, genuinely hard to find stuff which might attract some of the big ticket collectors/DJs etc over here. But in the case of JM's regular customers abroad, does a lot not come down to provenance, quality and reputation (not to say that other dealers are not reputable, like you Pete). I think all that happens is folk clock the JM auction results and put items up in the hope some of the stardust will land - nothing wrong with that. Then it all settles back down again once the excitement is over.

So 'tidy like', I do appear to have said it twice................

Tidy like.........as the indigenous community say in this part of the world.

Will PM you mate.

Mal - I remember Brummie mick very well, but the cross dresser?? Memories elude me. Maybe I just didn't go into that bit of the club much.

It's 'gee' as in 'gee whizz' isn't it Dean? Rather than a hard 'g' I always thought.

Boom! Boom!

You and a thousand others mate.......

DOH!!

:lol:

Correction my Genius! That's how to save the Northern Soul scene! A new movie very 2 or 3 years. Pack the clubs full of training youngsters so the old guard can pretend it's 1976 all over again!

Correction my friend..........30 years ago.

Huh??!!!!

Make sure you give a starring part to the wasp again. Or maybe you could use some other form of pest - a rodent perhaps?

I have only ever seen demos.

Brilliant, brilliant record.

My copy seems to be the mid-70s boot (or reissue) with Want Ads on the flip and indeed is decent quality sound-wise.

Is it on 45 rather than off the album? If so, would you like to sell it?

Not quite the assistance I was seeking my good man........................

Good Afternoon to All How can you tell an original from a pressing? Feel free to discuss the relative merits of this recording and its derivatives whilst answering the question in hand please ladies and gentlemen.......
