seems the only thing people use these videos for is to take the p*ss so a bad thing in that respect.

The LP's if stopping I use really useful box https://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/html/onlineshop/rub/b35_0litreXL.php Make sure it is extra large with the deeper lid. They do them for 45's 100 and 200 count box and also for cd's.

Yes mate, know its a different production and the organ missing, I was being lazy I guess with my typing!

Cheers appreciated, link to those on flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/crosseyedbear/sets/72157636285503745/

I have a few, some already scanned and on my flickr page

Thanks mate. Trying to get scans of as many venue flyers from 80's and 90's as possible.

Any chance of a scan of the flyer?

I remember that night, Ozzie getting a slap/into a scuffle over an incident with talc . I'd had my Kurt Harris a while by then.

I've never found any evidence other than someone's word that it was played and by Keith, was also told Ady Pountain played it but he flatly denied this saying he couldn't stand the record It was either covered up or just uncovered when I got my copy, be about same time as you I think. I also remember you playing the Escors then lending it to Rob to never see it again

I got my copy from Adey Pierce. Didn't know of any others for sale at the time. it was also played at Stafford, Keith Minshull I've been told.

He was great at Cleethorpes.

page four, few posts down, Butch confirms it was Soulmates as he and Tim found it Stateside.

There's an earlier one with Butch contributing. Had quick look but can't find it.

The price dropped to half what it was. Issue the harder in my experience.

There was a previous topic about this Jerry, might have been me that started it about the Soulmates, saying it was a Gary Rushbrooke spin. Dave originally disagreed and said it was Green Grunchons but Butch replied that Gary played the Soulmates and gave a bit more info.

Soulmates "Sock-in-soul" on Double Soul

It's the same record as the Green Grunchons but a different artist and title, it's on tip of me tongue.......

I will rub it in a bit more, Rob Smith had loads of them at a quid a piece

Vinyl will be fairly flexible with a moulded label, you can not pick the edge of the label with your nail. Styrene isn't flexible, it will break if you try to bend it, very brittle. The label is stuck on and you can pick the edge with your nail.

That'd be me at Tracky with Kurt Harris,

Here's the UK amazon url.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thought-We-Were-Writing-Blues-ebook/dp/B00SVYJMLU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423498197&sr=8-1&keywords=Rose+Marie+McCoy only available for the kindle but I've ordered form the US site with no issues and super quick delivery.

Look forward to it mate, will give this one a listen tomorrow hopefully now I have extra data on the phone.

Sooty again you are rewriting history. I didn't say the records were finished did I? I said they'd been hammered and most of the DJ's who played them had dropped them because they'd been hammered and were no longer either exclusive and every Tom Dick and Arry was spinning them. The Hyperions Why You Wanna Treat Me, monster for Rob Marriott from 88ish into the 90's, Jimmy Robbins was a five quid record in every sales box and was done and dusted for many DJ's by the early 90's. Etta James the same. You obviously missed out on these and by the time you were DJing you were playing catch up but you weren't to know this having not been around. As for Kurt Harris it was one of the biggest records on the scene and had been since the mid 80's. Just because you didn't hear it doesn't mean it wasn't around and being played, plenty of places and DJ's back then were playing them. There was more than you being "hardcore"

Bugger, I was gonna ask him if he played the Kurt Harris first I had one of the first few to turn up after you made it a monster down the 100 Club. Played at Stafford also by I think Keith? By the early 90's whenever I heard Jimmy Fraser I was beginning to think, "not again" but I must have been imagining hearing it as it wasn't played anywhere only the instrumental?

As an aside, Richie Brown's "Uptight" is probaly the best take of on song for me.
