I was doing a pm and it got caught in this thread sorry guys!

Yes Christian - we are good friends and I dont want to be accuse do fswiping a record he was after. Cheers Steve

Got- I better run acouple of years or so ago- Not a bad double sider really - Amazing to compare this to his later stuff on Capitol

I first went to the Ritz when I was 16- My girlfirend was called Beverly Griffiths from Walkden. The dance floor was brilliant as you didnt have to move you just stood there while everyone else danced and you went up and down. The key records that really made this happen was- Danse ala Music- French Fries, Law of the land - Alfie Kahn and Summer in the parks- East coast connection which people had whistles they blew as they danced. Probably one of my favourite periods in the soul scene. The Levine must Go campaign was so funny with people wearing badges. It seems so ridiculous today. When I got out of the scene in Jan 80 I sold all my collection except 6 records of which one of them I bought at the Ritz on my first trip- Pete Warner- I just wanna spend my life with you on Polydor for 65p and I sold it to pete Smith in 2000 for £5. It was a demo and had needle burn on one side. I remembr the Levine show with LJ Johnson Evelyn thomas etc and I think I rember Gloria jones there and Marc Bolan turning up . God its so long ago my memory is getting weak. The Ritz was actually quite a nice place and I was dissapointed 4 years ago when I went to see the Originals and what a shitehole it was. The spin off of the ritz in manchester were various other clubs like Carolines and Blue rooms in Sale- I used to love that place because we spent more time playing footballl in the car park Mr Searlings Tottenham versus Man city than dancing in the actual place. The Music at the ritz was great because it really used the today term "Acrooss the board"

The Broken Hip - By the Olympics What do you have to do- Use a baseball bat?

one copy in Mint minus cond of The Bitch album which includes the Drifters- Pour your little heart out- Cheapest way to get it £10.00 Plus postage Video pack - Strange world of Northern soul 3 videos and limited ed cd in Box £15.00 plus postage Just Pm me if interested

It was actually on the Modern soul Lp vol 1 I think. Been after the orig for years Got jimmy ruffin on Chess and Ive got the instrumental version on one of his polydor albums

In the 70s I had a compass test press 45 of this- cannot remeber who I sold it to but it must be very rare- rarer than Sam williams. The greatest hits lp is ok but the sound is lower that the double Lp if Im not mistaken! Thought I saw someone on here say they had the Compass test press afew months ago Chalky?

Very Sad news- You only get one life in this world and its tragic that some people get so little of it. Three score & 10 is what everyone should have a minumum of. My thoughts are with his family.

Gene & eddie - Its no sin on Monca VG+ and upwards please and no silly price

Agree with Pete on this one - You must be going to the wrong venues. We play this once every blu moon- as nostalgia is good in small doses

Im not scaring you-Or am I? Just an opinion- Disagree with drugs- You try working as a nurse in A&E with overdoses or idiots off their heads on booze- Dont try and lectutre me! Your picking on the wrong bloke!

Im English and I agree with the Gasher- £850 is rubbish for this- Things have really gone mad- Mind you this guiness lark is great. Offto a particular shop where the owner says hes got acouple of boxes for me to look in - HEY HEY what can I do- Said Robert Plant

Papa Bear & Cubs- Are you right about the price on this as we were discussing this a few weeks ago. £200 tops

Good morning from DUblin Ridz- Keep on running away is not a semi known - it was massive on the scene in the 70s but you should have kept your copy mate!

I agree booze can be destructive as well unless in moderation. Yes I get drunk once in a blue moon but I dont go harming anyone with it so I suppose the point is in moderatiojn as long as you dont do any harm to anyone else its acceptable- Is that reasonable enough for you! Rose coloured specs - I need some reading glasses But would you agree with me that Music is the best drug in the world! Apart from having Kids

The golden age of Northern soul- What a list Wouldnt play it now though- scene is very different

No Ken I did not write that letter- I live in Scotland- I tolerate drugs on the scene and thats about it but if any C*** who was under the influence of Drugs did any harm to any of my family a would F+++++++ kill them - thats how I feel about drugs. Lost 2 mates in the 70s due to Overdoses and some BasT++d tried to spike me at Wigan once. No I am not T Total - I am actually in Dublin enjoying a nice pint of Guiness in about 10 mins or so. Drugs may be on the scene but I dont have to agree with it. Prefer music myself- The best drug in the world. It can cost about the same over the piece but you never get a low from it - Just a high.

Keith I owe you the entrance fee for Friday- Soory I gatecrashed - didnt know you had to Pay just wanted to surprise the Gasher Regards Steve
