Your First Northern Record You Bought,do You Still Have It
Remember being given a beat up copy of Footsee as a 14 yr old. Northern was talked about at school and remember the docu with those dancers in the gym doing some effortless back drops, splits etc. About the same time a school mates elder sister who was well into it did me a tape (Dave Mitchell - The Trip, Jackie Wilson -Soul Galore, Jackie Ross - I Cant Help Myself, April Stevens - Wanting You, to mention a few, were on it) That was me hooked. Although I bought a few records from lads at school (I'm sure they were nicking em off older brothers, sisters!) my first official purchase was from a dealer listing on the back page of Black Echoes. Hadn't got a clue what to buy but decided that the £1.50 records must be good as most were £1.25! Gil Scott Heron The Bottle arrived (probably a boot!) and obviously I'd never heard it before! Blew me away. Must have been around 77/78. Don't have it now as everything went in the big mistake of 98! I'm sure a few others have done the same. Ric F

Crap Records That You Have Bought
Found an issue Esperanto in Sue Ryder Charity shop in Spalding, Lincs (1984ish). Asked em "How much?" 50p. Only had 13p on me. That'll do! Swapped for Black RCA Rose Valentine the following week. Crappiest record tho goes to "Are You Lonely For Me Baby" R L Griffen. Black Echoes Inside page recommendation . The next Roy Dawson!!?

The Nite Spot Bedford
Went a couple of times with mate Mick Matthews from Spalding. Great venue as I remember and even got a marraige proposal from a girl who I think was called Jacky Brown (it was the 29 Feb! 80 or 81). Reference Nev Wherry, I'm sure they played ,suprisingly, the Poppies - Send Him Back after the minutes silence. Had seen him at St Ives the week before and was shocked by his and Christines tragic death. A real nice guy
