I shall enquire of my 'source' when I next see him. I won't name him to protect the innocent😁 Maybe he was hallucinating?

I was reminded last week that Butch had a box of them at Sheridans (late 90s or early 2000s) at £50 apiece, so maybe we will see some more emerging for sale! I didn't know it, so didn't buy one😭

Just heard the sad news that Pete passed away earlier today. Pete was around in the early days of Lord Jims, Hernies, ( where he ran the coffee bar!) Normie Baths etc etc RIP Pete.

There were a few articles about racism in Blues and Soul around 1972. I was fortunate to have a letter published decrying the articles and mentioning artists like Dean Parrish etc and how we loved their music and input into our 'scene'. Unfortunately I don't have the B&S issue any longer but I'm sure someone on here will be able to trace it. The rubbish being printed soon ended.

The only boots I ever bought were the OOTP stuff wholesale (50p each) from Chris Burton. My mate Twink used to sell them at Wigan for £1. Did any of you become a customer of ours?😁👍

With the recent 'show' part one with Kev, I was looking through some old correspondence and came across this letter from Simon to Fred Kapelan in Brooklyn. To give background, Simon is using the home address of Chris Tipping who financed his first trip to New York. Chris' father owned a major engineering company, Tipco Tools on Gelderd Road, Leeds. Chris owned a 'dino' car, not sure if it was a Ferrari or Fiat version ( it was white so probably a Fiat) registration number LOV 750. Strange how I can remember this stuff from 50+ years ago but can't remember what I had for breakfast! I may have previously mentioned that I was at Chris' apartment when Simon returned home with his brown leather suitcase full of 45s. I managed to snag a good few before his first ever sales list was produced. As they say, the rest his history. Happy days PS. My name is NOT Cohen-Bentley and I'm not Jewish but I am a Yorkshireman😁

Having done more research on this 45, it seems I was bit optimistic with the original pricing! It's in great condition and possibly never played. See photos. SORRY 'A' SIDE WILL NOT LOAD! PLEASE SEE EARLIER SALES POST FOR 'A' SIDE PHOTO NOW £950 including special delivery. PayPal F&F or bank transfer please. PM to buy, questions etc. Thanks for looking

Full refund with all my sales if not happy. PM to buy/offer.

Guaranteed floor filler. Home is where the heart is In EX condition, plays perfectly. One slight 'scratch' across vinyl NAP see photos. £50 + £3 postage. Add £2 for recorded delivery. PAYPAL F&F OR BANK TRANSFER PLEASE. PM to buy, questions etc. Thanks for looking

Cheeky😇🤣👍

I was approached at a venue last year ( I was a paying member of the audience) by a lady who said " great spot last week, you were the only dj I could understand what was being said! I won't mention the venue to protect the innocent but 300+ on the night. It must be my dulcet yorkshire tones😁🤣👍

You could never get Martyn Ellis off the microphone!😂😂

21 copies from a tenner on discogs

No problem 👍

That original photo is in my possession, sent to me when Simon was fairly new to LA. Tim Brown used it in his Wigan Casino 76 book with relevant acknowledgement

Yes it was and I played it at Lord Jim's in Huddersfield at the same time.

Might do better in 'wants'

The best ones are they that seem to be dancing to a different tune than the one being played!😇
