That sounds very similar to how John told me Thank You.

The original LP did it have the sticker on the front cover saying "Includes the hit/track Im your pimp"? I always thought this issue was AFTER it became played? I know it has been the subject of many topics AND I feel it is a very difficult one to tell the first issue from re-issues? JM told me a few years back that it was the number of turns in the run out groove? Say 3 for first issue and 4 for the others? I think the stamp/matrix is positioned in the first run out groove but on the re-issues it is further in? If anyone can say I would be a happy bunny.

Lester Wardle had one about 17 years back. He said Shifty was also playing it??

Sorry it has gone just had a look.

Brady has one.

Nice mix Grant.

Archie Bell Here I go again around 72. Loved it and still do, just bought a 1969 WDJ copy.

Wish Tim Brown was as open as John. Get really peed off that his go quicker than Usain Bolt with a dose of the trots. Good service Joe.

Well put Jocko.

Would love a Greek Top Tunes copy.

Does it not have a Frankford / Wayne stamp on both Sassy and Gamble?

Saw Cissy Stone at The Bungalow (Stockport County FC ) in 1979. Bit of a white Tina Turner, stomping around the stage singing her head off in a tiny outfit which left nothing to the imagination. Whoo!

Steve stop being cynical. Happy Christmas mate.

It definitely was played at Wigan. I first heard it on a Rob Marriott tape around 80/81. We used to go to WC together. I think Richard played it at WC very late days maybe 81. In fact I think he played it on Hallam Radio cos we used to tape it. Anyhow that's my recall. I stopped at the end of WC for at least 5/6 years due to work. Hope you find it Pete S.

Real good sets. Same as me with Rhonda Davis and Celest Hardie together.

Now 5 years. Take care bud!

And another year goes by mate. Hard to believe it is 5 years since Alan departed. Miss you mate.

Thanks Ian that's a real shame I am in Stockport. Sorry should have PM you. Thanks all the same. Steve.

Thank you everyone. Ian where are you living now?

Good one Ged.

Hi all hope this is the right place for this? I am looking to buy a new record player. Ideally an all in one deck/amp/CD/DAB radio. An old style music system would be ideal. Anyone with hints or tips please on whats best on the market. Even just a record deck/amp and speakers. Looked on amazon and tinternet etc. Just so much stuff to consider. I reckon on a budget of £500 to £600 is about right for me. Thank You. Steve

Still think those solid centres need pinging out so they fit properly on the turntable.

Kenny Carlton Lost and Found on Blue Rock classy tune by Keith Minshull and RS.

Fuck sake. Me and Tony go back years. Last saw him at Paul "merve the swerve" Shirleys funeral. We were joking about meeting up before either of us died. Tony real sad mate. Cheers. Remember the hire car and the girl from Halifax?? Bless mate!

Also another issue was up for grabs from Oz ( I think) about 3 years back. Went for over £3k. I missed it. Got a demo myself. I think the run out groove is wider on the boot as well.
