Godfrey Nice picture of you and Lady Burton leaving the pier all-nighter! 6 million squid and all they can think of is putting "Swing" bands on !!--don't they know the war is over in Cleggy Will be back to you soon regards an article Malc Rob

Still available Martin-remember "The national debt" -so many records-so little time! The Charles Drain is a "Sleeper"-a years time and it will be 4 times that price once played out ! Rob

-Pete There are 2 people like this not 15 miles from here. They won't sell anything=just keep hoarding stuff away Both collect UK, nothing to do with "The scene" though both aware of "Northern Soul". Really just "Train Spotters" -number takers (One has never married, lives with his Mother and is an accountant) The other been divorced years (25+) and I think this sort of collecting becomes obsessive! Between them the value of the records must be £1,000,000- Neither will sell anything-one has 2 Darell Banks DJs on London Nice to see them all together and look through though ! Rob -by the way if your mate would like a ride on the train...in exchange for a few spares...............

He'd either taken too much gear or eaten too many Pork Pies pm'd you Ady Rob

SCANS ADDED-it took me half an hour !

PS best thing was the Record Bar

The journey home by public transport The sticky carpets The saturday night all-nighters after the Friday Oldies ones Shit dripping of the ceiling when it was packed Mrs Woods lack of humour Mike Walkers haircut and Rust Binstandley........

Shout up Phil !!!

Don't even go there.....

Well really enjoyed that, I love Detroit, even 25 years ago there were massive vacant lots, burnt out houses, Crack dealers-it all adds to the atmosphere of this great City. Waiting for 11 pm now BT Vision box is on the blink so not recording looks like I'm staying up to watch it ! Rob

Just like to say after delaying the purchase of your book Neil-(Hoped I'd see you out)-what a beautiful looking package it is. Not "read" anything yet-but flicked quickly through the hard back edition, with it memebership cards, bookmark and 45 record and can't wait to get "Stuck in" ! I knew you'd make a good job of it and its a piece of our history as well. I'll post a revue on it when Ive read through it and one complaint-can you make "Authers signature" an option when purchasing the hardback ? Watch you Paypal account I think I have just sold another one for you-he's coming to have a look !!! All out there-BUY THIS BOOK- NOW ! more later Rob ps delivered in super quick time as well !!!

Karens flat out with the norovirus bug since yesterday evening-I'm running Connor about from cricket at 8pm so unless drastic recovery in next 4 hours we may be home birds again ! see you soon Mick Rob

I wonder if the soundtrack will include Smokey Robinson " I care about Detroit" thanks for tip off will set timer to record ! Rob

Maggie Bell remembers recording "I'll hold you", Bobby Kerr co-wrote it-He was the brother of Simple Minds lead vocalist Jim Kerr-but died before Simple Minds found fame I think. Northern soul at its most Northern-Scotland !! Rob

We also have repo badges now and you can buy embodied badges from the internet. Badges no longer mean anything. Well said Simon Both myself and Karen have Badges around the place tucked away in plastic bags from long lost all-nighters (Mine are mainly Wigan Anniversary's Clifton Hall, Cleggy etc) Karen's are Morecombe RSG events and loads of others from the 80's All above have never been "sown on"-just kept! Really a treasure trove for someone who -for whatever reason- would want to get their mits on to say "I was there" !! One that I do hold special is the Keele 1st Anniversary all-nighter badge -which I DJ'd at-- and comes with a Silver bookmark which was done by Neil Clowes as a thank you to all those that DJ'd. Anyone wishing to purchase a "Soul history in a bag-36 years worth--say you were there with original badges" package make offers over £25,000 and that price will also buy our silence Be sad to see them go-but we'll keep our FRIENDS and great MEMORIES Rob & Karen

Raising cash to buy Frank Wilson then Kev-still have it on hold for you Rob

Whats the story Dave ?
