stuart hope the chin is better !!! any stunt jobs on offer ? Steve Croft alive and well (?) not a million miles away from a town where you spend a lot of time last seen in Clay Cross nr Chesterfield (Chalky land)

The other 45 by them is also very good and got played in the south (yate ?) & early 100 clubs "Does your mind go wild" also on Music town used to be half the price of all of my life

I am right in thinking that Curtis came over to one of the early Southport weekenders and brought half a dozen copies of the hardest part with him ?? must be late 80's when he came ???? Anybody confirm ?

Only just got in on this thread back to the original point ? Requests My favourite stories both come from Chesterfield first one we were doing a very quiet Thursday night session at the Adam & Eve around 1988 ish about 20 people in playing current Northern & some oldies from the time. A young girl walks up and requests some "house music" I explained that it was a Northern night and got a Gob full of abuse back. Half an hour later she's back asking for house music again, so i say (whilst playing Jock Mitchell ) this IS house music......I always play it at my house...........no more trouble ! Then at The Hollingwood a young lady asked me for "You've got to have a man inside you ".......so I says I don't know it, she says you played it last month and starts singing Tyrone Barclay "Man of value" !!!!! By the way would love to go to a do with all young DJs all evening they haven't been coorupted yet !!

Gary Welsh had TWO copies of Joseph Webster at Bradford back in the late 80s and no one wanted it !!!(including myself ughhhhh)

Did you get any of the others ? it played about 60 seconds of each on mine !

I think that when this turned up in the 80s (?) Ian Clark had something to do with it and maybe getting it re-pressed very soon after the original(very small) first press, there is also a LOU Ragland connection with the disc as i think it originates from Cleveland Ohio and may have been done just before lou moved to Las Vegas. For what its worth I have never seen the "orig" and my copy plays the way it should !

Just had an e-mail off GWEN OWENS she has a new Gospell Cd out this week, there are some sound bites on this link, the first three tracks belt along--one to watch i think ! I'm sending you some info on my Gospel Groups New CD. You can listen to seconds of each spng on www.cdbaby.com/melodious. The attachement is in Microsoft Work format.

SNAP !

SNAP !

What was the name of the sex change record dealer who used to have the stuffed parrot in a cage behind his stall ? Prehaps most Northern soul bloke types are a bit weary of a femme fetal as they all seem to say "Me missus don't like the music and don't understand me talking bollocks about records all night" Enjoy it while you can !

What an excellent post !

6 o clock is the us hit, "symphony for soul" i think is the title, got one but can't remember where it is, might be on Imperial, it was recorded in Detroit with Ed wulfrun as sound engineer !

total eclipse "6 o clock" is an inst version of a loving spoonful Us number 1 hit !!! and yes it is the same record As "SUPERTIME" the boot is the only 45 issue of this track. LP is about £50/£60 I think !

This messer bloke once cropped up sunday night at Cleethorpes as"THE MASK" and as a down trodden dad in a Cornflakes commercial !!!!!!!!

Edwin was a regular at Wigan all the Scottish lads know him , I once pulled in to the car park and Steve Strange was in the next car with his mates all done up in make up --did me bloody head in !! Also check out Orange Juice 45s you can hear the Northern all over them Speedy recovery to Edwin as well
