just says things like that and Two Plus Two are unknown to most - it's in the context of oldies being far more popular these days. Don't get angry now Fingers.

Well Uncle Tim Brown has mentioned it in the new Manifesto in a passing comment....

...or his thick black hair

Nev died many years ago BigRay. About 1980/1. Back to the thread..... I also remember the Baldocks address, and also the shop in Melton that I used to come over to where videos vyed for space with the vinyl upstairs, and the shop in Newark later where I got things like Martha Starr (that was much later early 90s) - this is getting like a History of John Manship Records thread.

Yes absolutely agree Sean. When I interviewed him on radio he was fine, just didn't want to talk about the mid 70s. I think with a lot of these guys we idolise there is probably a dark side lurking there somewhere. PS Fantastic instrumental version of "There was a time" by The Dapps on King.......£15-20 and well worth it.

I remember typing it!!!

The old Pat Butcher cover up?

Yes it is the same singer. Both awful records - it is 9 times out of 10 that prompted me to climb up on the stage at Wigan and 'ave a few words in DJ Minshull's shell like.

Good I couldn't remember them without looking.

Bootlegs from Austria -now that sounds familiar

But in the carver copy I let Sam keep he has edited down the air guitar. The original is longer and better I know it's too "hard edged" for some to like

Bashie had 4 releases - all chronicled by yours truly in the last Voices From the Shadows magazine.

Sems like quite a few of them around then.....I got Clarkies old copy.

Will do

Lightweight

Are you coming to lifeline Mr m?

I am only on for an hour each night .....and Simon knows I do play em when I can.

Little Reg's book? - he's on here why not pm him?

Interesting I have got both so I'll have to dig em out. Larry sent me a box of 25, about 20 of one sort and 5 of the other. I sold them all at the Fleet for £2.50 in one night. This was 1982. Steve

Agree with ya me hearty - one of the worst records on Motown

Nope think it's just the guys that came over to the Mecca party night, and yep I am sure they don't sound like the 60s Carstairs anymore. Think Ian Levine will know more than me on this one

1999 tailor made. T'was done when the Carstairs played at Blackpool methinks......

Carstairs remake

Again tracked Houston down and he sent me a box load with both types in. 1982 heady days at Blackbeat

Yeah me - that's exactly like the one I cracked. Will pm ya later.
