No! I had no idea at all until I played it i couldn't believe my ears as id only heard it on a cassette tape as because was saving up to get married hadn't been to 100 club for a while. I have posted the story before, but I'll be quick to tell again.. I went to a local car boot in Oadby in Leicestershire and there was an old chap with a small record box with a cardboard insert saying 60s soul . I thought as usual as if ?? Anyway was 12 records left in box and the only one I knew was Jimmy Norman on little star you know I'm in love. So I asked how much and he said 50p each or a fiver for all. So I bought the lot. So got Mac Staten and jj Jackson let the show begin on prelude, pat Clayton someone else's turn. The innkeepers never should have done it on galeko, Bobby Wilburn I'm a Dreamer on Gamble. Which wasn't played much then and 1 that my memory is eluding me at present and a few I didn't know on the little star label by Jimmy Norman and Dorothy Berry.. A couple of weeks later I saw the same chap and asked if he had any more records and he said I'd bought the last few.. I then asked where he got them from and he said that he worked at an American airbase in the 60s and the Americans bought them over to play and they left them behind and he collected them.. He said he'd sold loads before I bought the last few.. to this day I often wonder what else was in the boxes before me and what happened to them.. Probably got more chance of winning the lottery than ever finding anything else like this again. Best wishes Mick But want to add that we have a hell of a lot to owe to Mark/Butch for the most amazing records he has found and played for us all to hear and enjoy over the years 😀

Mac Staten There she goes, old Bobby Angele c/up which I uncovered in 1989. Probably the best 50p at a car boot ever spent Still remember the moment I dropped the stylus on it . Got told off by the missus fir swearing 🤬. But it's something I'll never forget.

Great group, lots of great sounds

Very sad news, condolences to family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mick & kevin

Mike, lovely words. I bet most of us on the site feel the same due to our age. Never a day when I don't think about my Dad x. He was a great man to me and my siblings

Looking forward to hearing what Tim plays.

Looking forward to Blackpool and hearing proper Northern again. God forbid we like something a little different ✊️koko . Ktf etc

Due to ill health I can't go to niters now.. sort of glad when I see this going on. Glad I've still got 48 years of memories of the music and niters and the scene when it was a special place

Can't recall a vocal version of frantic escape.. would love to hear it.. I've just checked my Atlantic and Pameline copies, both got crime doesn't pay on flip a funky sound..

Cause of health issues I'm on a diet and I'm back in a 38 waist lol. But still not wearing flairs that I wore when I was at junior school lol. As for a vest ?? At My age Tena men are the way forward lol. Sad news .

If you look at the posters carefully apart from the girl in full circle skirt no one is in flares and vest with badges on their vests...remember in 80 to 84 We all wore jeans or pegs with a white belt and a smart shirt, think about what you wore at oddfellows, cleethorpes winter Gardens etc. Never saw you in flares or a vest with patches on. Remember you in a grandad shirt lol. I am referring to the person who goes out now with 40 inch flares and a vest. That was fashionable in 73 maybe 74. But now to me it looks wrong. If I went out in a 90s shell suit it would look wrong as well.. Sorry if I offended you. Mick

Best thing about the posters,,,,, no fancy dress,,,, no vests and no flares,,,, We wore the fashion of the day not fancy dress clown outfits

Will be interesting to see what it fetches as I have 3 of the posters from 500th all niter,the Last oldies niter and end of an era. Never been unrolled until i took photo and have tickets and ticket stubs from each night along with the badges.

Do hope one day justice will be done one way or another..

Can't believe Marsha and the Delwands at £240.. it was always in the back of boxes at 50p or a £1... only bought mine to fill gaps in label collection. Some things always surprise me.

I have about 6 boots that I will never afford without a lottery win. Am I OK to play them at home if no one is listening 🤔 lol.

Just wondering, is the flip on Johnny cobb & the attractions forget him?? Big Stafford sound?

I know I'm going off topic slightly but did it get a UK release on contempo ? Or is it something else I'm getting mixed up with??

What's a sixpence?

Although I can't imagine selling my collection, I know several people who have sold amazing collections.. from their experiences all I could suggest is to list/auction the rarest ones as it will out weigh what you get for the run of the mill stuff that most people have . If you sell to someone they want to make a profit, who can blame them. But if you have big sounds you might be able to get a better price through auctions and paying their fees.
