Yes and I think for all his faults, this is what James Trouble tried to do in London a few years ago, which as a City has always had problems on the travelling side. Problem is I think these trendies can be a bit fickle....and can vanish as quicky as the snow melts in a Chicago suburb in January Bob....

What a shame he didn't buy them with his own money.....

Yes I agree Jerrio. There are still collectors out there too (not that many in the UK now) who don't go to venues but quietly buy records.

No drugs there then Bob ? That's what keeps some of our dancers up and asking for more......

I like it....

Oh great, sweet soul at the start, now there's a thought!

Good post and it's as you say the same with most forms of music. I call 'em Status Quo fans - because a) they like the same records they've always liked and b) because like most Quo fans, they have no receptors to hear new music. Younger people are as you say the lifeblood of the scene, but they are not going to come to venues where their dads and grandads are still going to - which is the problem in the UK. Same with the 'talking heads' that always get wheeled out here to reminisce about "how it used to be". Over her northern and rare soul gets confused which is not surprising as rare soul fans do like northern by and large. Long live rare soul!

Just different pressings, nothing to worry about. STeve

Nice one!

You can hear Al Boyd of the Imperial Wonders tell the story here of how they went over to LA etc....and became another version of The Younghearts https://www.mixcloud....h-al-boyd-2002/

Not "Blue Jean baby" by Lonette (McKee) ? If so it's an unissued MS side which Butch has.

I agree. That's what makes this thing of ours such an interesting thing to do, there's always another record out there, it never ends.

If there was anything decent in there surely the seller would have named a few as 'teasers' to attract bids.

Everyone wants to be a DJ Bob, most don't make money although some of the mega weekenders do. For some people yes, exactly the same as the Teddy Boys and Rock and Roll etc. And yes a lot of people too old to travel long distances :

Yup Sky all set.....bring it on Lars!

:lol:

Just noticed this Matt, def. v rare. Even the discos list the artist incorrectly....Steve

Cheers will do. Steve

Indeed, not quite heart failure Ian but a large "what???" over my morning tea....

Didn't see it but like you already have the Velma Perkins....Steve

I also think some of the lustre has gone out of this one, since it was re-pressed a few years ago with the reissues being passed off as originals.....and some people getting duped........all got rather messy as I recall.

Cheers Dave, might be an idea if Mike could transfer this bit out of the mysterious Teeside DJ sells up thread to a separate thread of it's own under All our yesterdays...Would do it but don't know how. But agreed, although not really a soul article, those clubs were interesting to read about. As was the bombshell of the old station opposite the Casino.....Would have been bloody handy for avoiding the 'townies' on the walk up the hill on a Saturday night.

I can rule myself out lads, as I don't recall playing anything with that in the lyrics at Barca.....

Strewth man, that's brilliant four you. I now have another gap in my Twinight collection : But great you got this....Steve

Sorry this is off topic, but quite interesting for both trainspotters and Casino goers This is why it was called Station Road.....scroll down.... https://www.lankybeat.com/Venues.html
