Hi Steph No problem it did look like Nicky still see him now and again , sadly Sid passed away a few years ago .Yes I knew Alan and Dave his brother who also knocked about with Ian ( Twink ) Bottomley , bumped into Ian at Brid weekender this year, not seen him for about 35 years or so , remember The Taurus in Huddersfield on Sunday nights and one or two alldayers too with the infamous Frank n Twink deejaying , both had great collections. Happy days Martyn

Steph Definately not Nicky Curry from Clecheaton ,,Nicky is a m8 but the guy does look like him don't know the guys name but i think he was from Selby or York , Sid ( from Norristhorpe , not far from Cleck ) god bless him not on the photo neither, that's me second from right with her indoors next to me .

Hi Pete Guy at the back with fingers ( peace sign ) is Jack Kennedy ex Leeds and Hightown lad , believe it or not his dad took me Annie and Jack to Wigan in January 74 cos Jack's mate let us down his Ford Escort was knackered and Jack's dad had a brand new Skoda , his dad sneeked into Casino and stopped all night with the coach drivers bloody hilarious that was. More names to follow Martyn

Got my first 12" Groove Groove Melody copy from Italy , second one from France of all places , and yes it still is a tough one to track down. so 2 copies in West Yorkshire as well as Soth Yorkshire now Mart , also got the Italian CD which is easy to find on the net , so not jap cd only . Martyn

Got a nice clean German pic sleeve copy , vinyl and sleeve excellent condition. PM me Martyn

Steve Davis Definitely , heard this from a good Scottish gentlemen friend of mine ( you know who you are ) who is not really bothered who bought it anyway . So methinks they must be some truth in this , especially that its also being mentioned on ere. Martyn

Just bought a nice Kirk Franklin original cd promo will be massive in 2020 and will you be able to buy a copy on original media no chance And yes i prefer vinyl always does it 4 me Love this thread Martyn

anyone selling records on ebay should be made to buy a record off craig morer, $7.50 postage for one 45 and it's in a box you could get 8 or 9 in and it has 6 or 7 stiffeners. belt and braces from craig, joe. Yes Craig is the man his mailers are exceptional belt and braces , but i've had 12's from dealers stuffed in my mailbox with no protection , cringed but been lucky it can be a gamble Martyn

I couldn't believe that the Mirfield Pentagon became the epicentre of UK club culture when Hard Times kicked off. I went to the same venue when it was called The Ginza Strip as a 14 year old circa 1969. Some bastard from Mirfield Modern chinned me and welcomed me to the realities of surviiving in Mirfield whilst trying to be a flash twat. Served me well throughout the future as it happens..... Ginza Strip Ian new one on me sounds a bit Gangsta but yeh still makes me smile drivin past The Salvation Army Drop In now charity shop ex Hard Times ex mirfield Pentagon what would Sacha think Martyn

7" like Ian says ok for northern scene 12" is thee best version love the wailin on the intro then it kicks bit spooky just played this tonight on a white 12" not sure of origin but looks good on the 1210,s got this from Oxfam in Mirfield where Hard Times resided forget The Hacienda Tune Martyn

While you lot were poncing about to disco music with your white socks on, the rest of us were trying to keep the Northern Soul scene alive. Back now though, aren't you... Pete As the Mickey Mousers say Calmn Down Calmn Down We was avin fun and enjoyin new Soul Music Martyn
