appreciated Paul

There's countless bits of info out there, info that doesn't necessarily warrant a topic of its own but simply takes up a sentence. Bits like this one from Arkwright... c'mon let's see what other amazing mind-boggling snippets of info there is

the credit card style membership card....

thanks for that, what is the address (sorry to be a pain ). Shame about the skip, that's the side that's played. Know of a couple of copies over here, one in Germany. Probably others we don't know about.

Larry Bright the other artist on Tide found a scan on popsike of another Larry Bright release...

Thought it was same artist but under different name? anyone got soundfile (& scan)?

Nice find. Do you have a scan of the other side? Isn't it on Tide as well under different name? Just the few (3 or4?) as far as I know? So will cost a decent wedge of cash I would imagine.

Cheers Dante. Anyone not yet listened can do so >>>>HERE<<<<

Flyer for the third of Rob Marriott's all-nighters. I also remember an all-dayer somewhere but can't remember the venue.

Why the surprise for Gene Toones? It appears somewhere for sale on a regular basis.

Think it was about the time he stopped travelling, think he was in the states though for the 1st one. If I could find my '87 echoes I could scan more ads and especially the first one.

That was the Swan in Mansfield. Will post some flyers later. Pretty sure the first Winding Wheel was April? As i said modern room was downstairs, pretty sure Richard Searling didn't make it.

Looking at the flyer you posted Mick, I don't think that one happened, think that was the 1988 one and the squad had put a stop to the nighters? The management weren't a problem but the squad began to block extensions at the Winding Wheel for every gig they did, even the Ireland Colliery Brass Band had an extension refused. Out of all the nighters they busted one person, dunno if this the right place to say who The squad would have had more success if they had gone down the town to the Adam and Eve. I did have some press cuttings about it all but lost them. They are in the Top 500 book I think.

Hi Mick, the venue was the Winding Wheel, the best venue I have ever been in for a Rare Soul all-nighter. Danny Everard and Dave Thorley the promoters. Ran from April 1987 and every month up to Boxing Night when the authorities put a stop to it It could have become a legendary name of the scene if it weren't for the squad. First one the Northern was upstairs, 400 capacity. Modern down stairs which was about 700 capacity. Was a smaller 150 capacity room and a smaller one still on the same floor as the Northern Room. Northern Room later moved downstairs with Steve Smith's oldies room upstairs. The Boxing night one was Keb's last ever set outside London before retiring. He got a standing ovation for about 10 minutes with Guy itching to start his set, think he just though f*ck it and dropped needle on record Rob Marriott to the squad, "don't give a f*ck who you are you are paying to get in" Steve Smith should have a few more stories.

There is a mention of Mike Ragatz and Keith Goins in the Smoke Ring wiki page. >>>>HERE<<<<

What did the Walter B go for? I missed the finish. Any chance of a sound file? the one I have is poor quality. Did get spins at one time over here but has since suffered due in part to its rarity and as you say it is a bit fast

It was definitely on Breakfast TV. The main star was being interviewed. The breakfast presenter said her boyfriend at the time went to the Casino. I would assume if they did one they would have done others.

I've got this albeit on CD, it is fantastic too. Give It Everything another stand out track.

Half a dozen worthwhile tracks out of what 50? Why bother? The ones any good are average at best. Like I said earlier in the topic you can see (well hear) why many were canned. Think it's purely the reason they are either alternative takes or unissued that increases it's appeal. I've listened to it and I don't care if I never hear it again to be honest. It was also a genuine copy, played in the car, despite what Tony thinks, it wasn't from amazon though.

Keb still better than most if not all on this scene when it comes to dancing

me too Pete

just giving this a bump as still looking for either a flyer or an advert from Echoes for the 100 Club October 3rd 1987. Hope someone can oblige.

does anyone have either a flyer or an echoes advert for this night they can scan and either post on this topic or mail me? Would like to know the full line up etc, Guy was the guest for the night.

I can't find my '87 Echoes ads, well not all of them. I'm looking for October 3rd 1987 and an advert for the 100 Club, would be in one of the preceding weeks as well. Also looking for a flyer!

I've just tried to find either an echoes advert or a flyer but to no avail Part 4 shortly.
