I don't think that's a bad price on JM's. Seen it sell for around that a few times. Demand is growing again.

Sellers at the end of the day should factor fees in to the sale price, they shouldn't ask for gift from someone they don't know and you should never send anything via gift if you don't know the seller as you are not covered if anything goes wrong.

If there is money in your paypal account there is no fee I believe. The person paying doesn't pay anything? You pay a fee if no money or not enough in your account. It is getting abused by dealers though to avoid fees but who can blame them. Paypal have you by the gonads really.

The turn over of new records won't happen again like it did but there is no reason to ignore the many 100's of quality record outside the top 500. Many forgotten records from all eras, tastes change and some deemed not good enough back then are just right for today. It is as Byrney says, those who were on the scene and left when Wigan closed come back and only want to hear what they heard whilst they were briefly on the scene and ignore the 30 years since.

Yes but at the time they weren't the top 500...they were new to most of us when we were young.

Otis Jackson and The Compromisers is on C&F and The Captions on Kayham. Not sure if you are aware they are two different recordings Paul of the same recording. The smoother Captions is the one I prefer. Otis Jackson probably better for playing out.

I'm adding the Stafford Story to a blog which can be viewed at https://thestaffordstory.wordpress.com/2013/10/05/4/ The first three podcast are already up. It will take some time to upload the 40 odd podcasts. These can still be viewed on the web site which will be moving to a new host soon as well.

With the Crests... Talmoudge Gough, J.T., Harold Torres Front Center - Johnny Maestro And today...

He was with the crests. He is one of my facebook friends.

Will be seeing him in Leeds tomorrow, can't wait.

Hope you find that tape Steve, would love to listen to it, Hattie Winston for one. I have it but not complete.

Connoisseur reissue? I thought it was a bootleg? Is it right to encourage the purchase of bootlegs? It is a practice that is getting more and more prevalent of late.

It is a bloody good dancefloor the majority of the time at the Stables, no need for talc whatsoever. The reason the ban came in was some scruffy tw*ts were cleaning the talc from their shoes on the chairs. Fcuk me, it is a function room, weddings are held there and people are cleaning their shoes on the seating :/

All I see when when above is talked about on here is opinions 99% of the time. If other wish to take that as rules then they have a problem. If their dress sense makes them uncomfortable when they are out and about then maybe someone has a point, it shouldn't do. People can dress how ever they want as far as I am concerned. Those that do wish to dress bags, flairs etc are more than welcome at Lifeline and will be made to feel welcome, I would imagine the same goes for most other nighter promoters?

I was asking you as it was you who mention there were rules and regulations Win. I'm aware of don't take your drinks on the dance-floor, respect your peers etc but that is simply common decency and good manners IMO not rules or regulations. The only rule we have at Lifeline is a no talc rule and that is from the management of the place.

What rules and regulations? I don't know of any? The only thing myself and like minded mates prefer is not to hear the same old same every week. It is as Byrney says we are doing the same as what we did when we were in our youth, we have continued with what the very ethos of the scene was about and have no need or any desire to stay in Mr M's for 35 years. As for unwelcoming, I don't know anyone who is unwelcoming....do you? BUT when attending a venue that advertises and plays something different and not the same old same who should do the embracing? If you I go somewhere you embrace what the promoter is promoting not the other way round. As for new blood I think the scene has gone past the tipping point now and is in slow decline. There are simply not enough new and young blood coming through. It would need a large influx to sustain this scene and that ain't gonna happen.

Fantastic.

I'm not surprised Cornelius Dwyer sold.

People can go where they want, listen to what they want and dress how they want as far as I am concerned. The point I am making is practically every time the media is involved it focuses on Wigan Casino in 1977 and that the scene today is exactly the same when it isn't. A lot has happened in the 30 to 40 years since then, a lot has happened in the last ten bit that is never portrayed or focused on. The scene must be a laughing stock to those who watch these documentaries. I really hope Elaine does this documentary of the scene from start to finish, she will do it right that is for sure.

The fact the scene was underground and was different to what the mainstream were getting up to was one of the appealing aspects of traveling hundreds of miles every week. It is a cult scene or was, it isn't what every one else does. The fact your work colleagues couldn't understand or get what we were doing made you feel better than them. It was cool because it was underground, we were different to everyone else. That was the whole point of travelling that and to listen to music you couldn't hear at home. Yes it is the love of the music above all else but that is there whether I or we travel to a venue or stop at home. The wearing of fashion items from a period that covered just a couple of years, and some of the worse fashion at that isn't cool. It isn't how the vast majority of us behave but it is how we are being perceived, that is what irks so many. Why can't people understand that? Why can't documentaries show the scene for what it is rather than keep focusing on 1977 and people trying to recreate 1977?

Voltaires is far from unknown but as good as it may be it just isn't what the scene in the UK go for Can see why it is liked on the continent. Limitations is far from unknown or even semi known or even underplayed. Everyone who has a copy seems to play it.

Great cheap record. I've given it the odd spin. Old Gary Rushbrooke play.

Here you go....

Someone after one of these last week, try the wants section?

I will show him how to add a smiley when I go down to his next Steve
