I find it hard to believe that there's anyone buying records on this 'scene' in 2024 that doesn't know the difference between a 'large 45' and 'small 45' Okeh single , it's one of the first things you learn when starting out ...

The listing's still there at 07:45 , sitting at $551.00.

I see more drinks on the dancfloor in one picture in the article than I've seen altogether in all the years I've been out and about , and even the 'blokes' have got handbags FFS ...

But according to the latest info norvern died when Wigan closed in '81 , it never happened anywhere else before or after until Bristol revived it last year ...

From someone who's been defending this charade of 2nd rate cover versions I find that last sentence rather amusing to say the least. I'll stick to lingering in dark corners with the "car-thieving-drug-taking-riff-raff" that I know and love thanks all the same.

You failed to spot that the "glass of fizz" was offered for punter's use after the nosh ...

I went to a 'local' charity event a few years ago to show willing so's to speak. Aside from the cloud of Johnson's that engulfed the room everytime "Sharon" and her mates waddled onto the floor , pints in hand , the clincher was the music stopping halfway through to allow a massive pizza delivery to be spread on a waiting table and a "buffet-stampede" to ensue ...

For anyone that thinks that Henry Cavill should fill Daniel Craig's boots as 007 , I can confirm that after watching him in "Argylle" that he really doesn't have what it takes to play the role. "Argylle" is a pleasant enough waste of an hour or two , but it ain't a Bond class outing by any means ...

I rest my case ...

I'm sure there'll be plenty of the northern soul clown suits pulled out of the dressing-up boxes on show ...

For the perfect accompaniment at a farce like this it could surely only be Johnny Boy Pryers ...

Not at £75 for a soul night it hasn't , nor has anywhere else ...

I must be getting old and intolerant ... ... I've yet to find any offering on BBC3 that I can stomach ...

And lots more besides ... https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0940192/

The position of the stamp is not fixed. But its mere presence denotes an original.

You couldn't have put it better Andy , the perfect word.

Not a record I'd be advertising on my CV ... It's a pity he didn't put down his instrument and pick up a microphone , He might have made a better vocalist than Maggie ...

Put a list up on here , and let us at'em ...

Tried it last night , sent me very quickly into a much needed deep sleep ... 😆

Have a dig through this lot ... https://www.discogs.com/artist/384077-Tony-Clarke-2
