We all have a box of records that are of dubious origin, or re-issues of re-issues of re-issues, or so pants only we would want to listen to them. We only get these out under the cover of darkness, with the curtains drawn, lookouts posted at the end of the street in case the soul police have the detector vans out. I have bought quite a lot of records recently and over the last couple of days I have been sorting out all my records and generally having a tidy up when I broke open the lock of the forbidden box and delved in. I came across a copy of Marie Knight, Thats No Way To Treat A Girl. This puzzled me as to why it was in the forbidden box as I think it is a great record and the only explanation is that at some drunken moment I put it in the wrong box or someone at some point has told me mine is a boot. I can't remember who I bought it off as this would probably ascertain its authenticity. So can one of you anoraks please let me have some info as to how I can tell. This has been puzzling me all night and I woke up pondering over the mystery. The weird thing is, for the life of me I can't find it this morning........spooky . Thanks QoFxx

Been advised experiencing slight tech hitch I am sure it will be sorted ASAP QoFxx

Don't play anything for me that you think I will like cos I will end up adding it to the wants list and I have spent enough this last few months and I can't afford it .................that doesn't mean you can play disco all night though QoFxx

suprise suprise QoFxx

I have found his website and emailed him, will have a look on gemm as well but couldn't see a copy on there yesterday. thanx. QoFxx

Thanks. Thats the sort of money I expected to pay. QoFxx

Cos I am getting a bit fed up of certain people always taking the mick out of my "60s girlie stuff". I think its a great record, but I would say that as I love nearly everything Dolly does and if I get a copy I may try it out, so watch out Blue Skies QoFxx

OK so its not a tune I would play out, but would love to own a copy of Busy Signal for personal reasons and at the right price. QoFxx

Better play me a request tonight as I spent all my pennies with you on sat................and I havent paid you yet QoFxx

Just managed to pick it up for $5 on evilbay QoFxx

been looking for thi for a while, not very hard i must admit but if anyone has a copy they wnt to sell PM me QoFxx

Just checking if this is every Monday. Great show last week QoFxx

I will be at the Welli in Bedford for the usual great night of real soul, real ale and real people ...................and its onlyy 5 mins walk from my house QoFxx

I don't think or hope we are looking at the end of TOTS just a change of venue QoFxx

Harpenden OK on the rail link from Bedford QoFxx

TOTS is one of my favorite nights and certainly a premier soul night on the Beds & Herts calander if not in the country. Lynn did mention this may happen when I spoke to her on Saturday, was just keeping my fingers crossed that Pete & Sean would be able to pull something out of the bag. Saying that though, knowing Sean & Pete I am sure they will come with something as good or if not better. A venue is just a room, what counts are the great people who run TOTS and their enthusiasm, they great DJs they put on and not forgetting the people who always support this great night. Here's looking to moving forward and like so many of us in this area I am certain wherever you move to you will have our unfaultering suport. QoFxx

I have gone to venues with the same delima and will do in the future. If you are in a room with about another 100 people and your friends does it matter who the promoter/DJ is as long as you are enjoying the music and you don't have to speak to them QoFxx QoFxx

Went after this but as not seen it up for sale or any price info on it anywhere wasn't sure how far to go so pulled out at 75, wish I held on in there. True 60s girlie pop I know but really like the B side......................and I like 60s girlie pop QoFxx

.............oi, you know we are all NORMAL in Beds & Herts Oh and forgot to tell you, think I have managed to secure "our song" at the right price so if you're at the next Blue Skies QoFxx

Great job guys, prob one of the best Northern/Soul radio shows i've heard for ages QoFxx

Well you are in luck, Blue SKies, That Friday Feeling is on the 14th. Great friendly informal get together. Link to event /Blue-Sk...875#entry875875 Feedback from the last one /Blue-Sk...ies#entry813778 QoFxx

no probs QoFxx

Damm smiffy you beat me to it QoFxx

Certainly one of the best there is, whether it be 60s or modern he is definately in my top 5 in the country, well perhaps not the modern bit And what would you know QoFxx
