I remember one poor Blackburn, might have been the anniversary but most were pretty well attended with plenty full. Many of the nighters then were full, 100 Club, Keele, Chesterfield etc.

This is on the to watch list after some positive reviews. I try and avoid all trailers these days as half the film and most of the good bits seem to be in them nowadays 😕

Give them a ring, that is the best way forward to get an answer

All-nighters are a young persons game. Ever stopped to think why we have lost so many friends so young? Someone is leaving us on a weekly basis way before their time and it can’t simply be coincidence, the lifestyle we chose has to be a contributing factor. As Peter said drugs were the driving force of the scene and for many still are. As has been said the age of many of us probably the biggest reason for the demise of the niter scene. Also there is no youth, or very little yes there are a few hot spots but I dare say the vast majority in those hotspots aren’t really into the scene and very few will stay the course. The niter scene isn’t healthy with one promoter dominating the scene utilising the same Djs with playlists that rarely change. Large venues that by 3am look pretty sparse attendance wise. Some enjoy it still and good on em but not for me. I prefer to be healthy and do other things these days. I can get what I want musically and socially at a soul night and still enjoy the rest of my weekend/week.

Have you a scan

I have a couple of tapes Eddie Hubbard sent up to convert that Randy Cozens made. They were originally Mark Taylor's who then passed them onto Eddie. Simply titled Randy Cozens Collection and there is volume 2 and 3. Randy was a huge influence to many with great varied taste especially the more mid tempo and deeper stuff.

The last two Sound of Soul Shows. Last weeks show with Ady Crampton sitting in for Dean and Gez and this weeks show with Kevin Johansen and Richard Dixon joining Dean in the studio.

The only reason the governing bodies are meddling is because of the greed of the clubs. They had to reform to stave off the threat of a super league. The Champions League iOS nothing to do with FIFA either. But back to the original question, this league format has been so much better with any more games actually ,meaning something and some of the so called lesser teams having a big impact on the outcomes. I doubt Celtic would have gone through if not had been the previous format. Under the old format the groups had little meaning after a couple of games.

Happy birthday mate

Thats so sad. Very knowledgeable and enjoyed his posts. R.I.P.

Very surprised at that Ady, extremely rare 45.

Listened to Carolyn Sullivan on Caray and Martha and not so sure they are the same singer, might be my ears and the laptop?

I wonder how Cressa is a fake? It is the same as Martha with a break cut out?

I knew Martha first

A quick search on popsike chucks 63 copies up, not to mention the copies sold by other means and outlets. Its no where near as rare as some make out now.

IPTV

Some of the better ones fetch 125 to 250 quid.

John has said the postage is a discogs thing and he will adjust the postage as they come to the order to suit the order.

It was exactly the same when Crossover was en vogue. The majority labelled as such were nothing to do with crossover and many 70s and 80s tracks lazily labelled crossover.

I have, 30/12 and 4/1, not received any yet but I am patient.
