Its listed in the record collector 2012 rare price guide at £700

Quite true Ted and he did cover it as a male.... I also know where he got it from for £8.00.... Big sound instantly at the Fleet all-nighters...more cover ups than a News of the World phone hacking scandal in those days , Gary Spencer, Carl fortnum, Danny Everard and myself were all at it !! Also remeber Eric |Philips turning one up...wanted £40 for it. and added value because its Dale Wintons favourite record as well--just a great record with the twist of a tragic story on Timi Yuro Rob

Sounds like the first bootleg copy to me.

get out at the top, best wishes to both of them x x fantastic records and great guys

For me, Modern & Northern have always gone hand in hand and a "JUST Modern" nighter would not work. The only "All Modern nighter" I can recall ever going to (since joining the nighter scene in 87) was Jollies in Stoke in 1999, and fantastic as it was, it didn't get the numbers as the majority of the "strictly" modern crowd do not want an all-nighter, other than at weekenders. I believe the Dom Polski Club was the first Modern All-nighter in the 1980s down Bedford way ?? Think I'm right but will be open to correction ! We can all live (& dance) in peace & harmony x

He told me last year the Health and safety people were after him so it was either tidy the shop or issue everyone with safety boots and helmets I can remember the counter and the TWO BOXES of "Good stuff" that were underneath --then of course there was an "Up stairs " then as well ! Happy days rob

Total re-fit hope hes racked it after 30 years lol !!! will have a ride down x great Man Great Shop

I've probably heard a few of them LOL

I once saw Brendan teaching an eighteen month old kid to smoke--and I'm not joking As Kev says they are both dead, Mansfield old boys used to scare the shit out of me, till you got to know them that is but there have been some real psycho's further afield Rob

I 'll see you around soon tony- your cousin tells a good tale or two

Echo Dean's statement above, well we did a lot of travelling together pre getting a car anyway. But some of the Mansfield "Old Boys" could make your hair curl with tales from the Torch and Wheel and a couple of people from Mansfield were well to be avoided, seen it all over the scene throughout the years even up to Prestatyn, mainly "They" gather in dark corners with their entourage 's it takes all sorts Rob

Was at St Paullinus church yesterday at a funeral, had a lift so did not go by the welfare building, is it still there ??

PM'D YA Rob

good link Chalky, I knew about it some months ago as Jet 2 were touting for advertisers to go with the article £3k to £6k for a full page !!! A good read really well written, although as you say nothing new Rob

Fund now closed see news articles for up dates thanks Rob--closing thread

Good site

can anyone point me in the direction of anywhere that lists Northern 45s by label I've been on Dave Rimmer's site but looking to see larger labels such as Capitol, MGM, Columbia, ABC, which list the Northern "Classics" and not all the other POP stuff as well All help appreciated Rob

I ve played The Blues busters and it don't half sound familiar--how longs this been around ??

i think i met him once in the record bar at Wigan Casino---I recall he chewed a lot of gum and kept saying "I'm not boring you am I"

yes Melvin Davis has great memories of O M W but Tom Jones and a host of other stars played there in its heyday Sad to see it looking so neglected Rob

just had word that a DJ from lasts night 100 Club all-nighter has donated his Dj fee to the marker fund --Thank you very much !!!
