And there's me right behind you Mark!.. In mustard top allegedly judging the dancing comp with Ally.....

Must have had some good cheese last night...I woke up chuckling to myself after the following dream... I was in a hotel in Bishop Auckland where an All Niter was in full flow... I saw some bibles on display on some shelves...and started singing to myself "Let's Gideon" (with apologies to Marvin). Where the hell I dragged up the Gideon bible from (especially as I am an avowed atheist) I have no idea.. I can even crack jokes in my sleep! Nice one! Any other soul related dreams? Apologies if previous threads...

Yes Jock I am out there! Lofty (Mike Lofthouse) on here will confirm the handicap is not under threat! What's this about you wielding the sticks? I will pm you to catch up. It's been too long. Hi Jim, pass my regards on to Ady if you see him! Got a great photo somewhere of him and Jock pre first Stafford reunion. Will have to dig it out to see who is carrying the least timber!

So sad to see this and so glad I caught up with Gary at Just Soul a few months ago after many years. Gary was a gem. Many happy memories of knocking around in the 80s. Sincere condolences.

1980 the week after playing "Casanova" I seem to remember..

Hi Tony, still hiding in the NE, played an oldies set at David Hulme's 50th couple of weeks ago - which was cool - and made that two nights out this year - double my recent average! Hope you are ready for the Prem...got a good feeling about the Foxes this year...Have a good one.

Big hello Barry! Hope things good with you.... That would have been Danny Everard's flat on the Cally Road, North London I reckon...dropped by there myself a couple of times when I moved darn sarf in '87...A bit like you...I Can't get over these memories....Have a good one fella.

I reckon '79 too...Alongside oldies Dj's like Chris King I have a vivid memory of Dave Raistrick doing a late spot around 0700, stood in his duffle coat, playing L.Allen - which looked cool!

Nice one Byrney! Intriguing!! Will message you..

Chalky/Jock, Have been in my Loft this morning digging around...Safe from flooding up there!... I have them Chalky so happy to send...Pm me your addy.. Also came across "Jock's view of Soul" which reminded me of you! Hope you are well mate!

Yes , I got this off a friend from Cleveland Ohio, who found it at a record fair in the States in the early 80s. I remember showing it around Stafford one night when he was visiting the Uk and people being pretty amazed by it. I acquired it towards the end of the 80's from my friend and sold it to Richard in '94 - He told me he wanted to buy it for his accountant as a gift! He must have saved him some money that year! A real oddity and I never knew of any other copy at the time.

Have a great time Mike and yes we'll catch up when the weather improves! This may be worth trying? https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=11&ved=0CHgQFjAK&url=http%3A%2F%2Fjudyshouseofoldies.com%2F&rct=j&q=myrtle%20beach%20record%20stores&ei=GpUxT8bcMYrL8QP9lOTdBg&usg=AFQjCNFX00-fsZu0LLkT2ViiHeVJiAePsg

Sod the record shops Mike...what about the golf courses!!

Yes that's the one Tony - label out of Milwaukee - Marvell Love "Break That Rule" also played, on the same label, around that time (Clifton Hall).

Hi John, Hope you are well me duck I have The Precisions (Henmar) on "Rare Unknowns" Vol 3 cassette from your good self - Late 1981 - plenty of other crackers on there such as... Billy Miranda,Andre Scott (Sunflower), Sonny Allen,Trey J's, Joe L, Lawshawn Collins,Matthew Barnett (Puff).. and thats just one volume of three.... Cheers, Robin.

Hi Phil, Pete's living in Denmark. I heard from him over Christmas - and he's fine. Not sure about the curls (more tight waves?!) but definately greyer! Cheers. Robin

Hi Mark, I have it on 12" and did play it a couple of times in the early '80's. Can't remember the label (Uk), in the loft somewhere! I used to rate it - be good to hear it again and see what it sounds like today.

Guy's "The Albanians" "Same Thing" c/u ("Masqueraders"). Seem to remember there was a Med holiday/cyberman story in that one?.. Remember going to Loughborough station to get a train over to TheBrit at Nottm...there was a shop called James Mack and Co and one night me and a mate very childishly graffited "and the Chicago Gangsters" below the shop name at the height of Roy Dawson's fame!

Good memories of Jonathon's coaches from Nottingham - late Wigan Sat nights, pick up outside The Salutation, a few to The Fleet and a never to be forgotten expedition to a Yate Anniversary when the coach broke down on the way back well south of Brum - a stabbing on the coach and an epic journey to get home via public transport...

I obviously can't speak for John, but due to absence of replies would say the following... I've sold a number of items through John over the past years - I have always been 100% satisfied with the process and prices achieved. 15% commission, payment prompt - they like buyer to have a reasonable time to ensure happy with purchase (item as described etc) .John is always looking for quality items across the board in prime condition. I've never had an item that hasn't reached reserve (which you have option to set) Given the fact that there are so many timewasters on Ebay and escalating charges (Ebay/paypal) and general hassle of selling the odd record yourself I believe you can't go wrong!

I bumped into Gary and Julie at a Leicester Oddfellows Revival a few years ago - Gary was always a big influence on me and it was great to see him again....I offered to copy some old Wigan/Palais tapes with him Djing....got the job done, sent a nice stash to the address he gave me - then heard from his brother (I think) that they (he and Julie) had split the same time I sent them off....I always wondered if he ever received them!
