I remember taking Simon Soussan, Chris Tipping ( who financed Simon's trip to the States) and Simon's 'minder' a tall jewish guy who couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag ( as we say in Yorkshire) to the Cats after his 'find' in New York. It got a bit scary and led me to suggest we left pretty damn quick as I realised the crowd were after rolling Simon for his tunes. I was a bit pissed off as I knew Graham, Pep, Blue Max, Alan etc well and I thought maybe they could have intervened, but heigh ho, that's life and record collecting. After our exit, we travelled up to the Torch where Chris Burton and the boys made them welcome ( I already knew Chris and the DJs very well through record dealing). The SWONS!

Personally I always gave new stuff to Jebby to play. It was great to see Ian appear from nowhere with 'what is this, who owns it, I must have it, sell it to me ! Happy days😁

Bradford Market had loads of 'one offs'. I remember getting stuff like Skip Jackson, Dearly Beloved, Bricks,broken bottles and Earl Jackson etc. I played the first 3 at Lord Jim's around 1970/71. They went down like a lead balloon☹ wrong tempo for the time!

Definitely not played at the Wheel. Remember it being played at the Torch but not the Mecca. But then again my memory is not what it was. Keith Minshull told me a few years ago that we both got copies of the Salvadors from Bradford market when he came to visit me, but I don't remember that either!!

Looks like you spotted my deliberate mistake😁

Hi, please see attached photos. I know I'm losing you side has the correct deadwax readings of TMG 587 A-1 and plays correctly but the B side has no recording and has a very wide deadwax with LPFB stamped. I'm assuming this is a genuine test pressing. Can anyone shed any light on this or information on this please? TIA Julian

Went to the Blue Orchid near Derby in Les Cokell's van. Les insisted we all took our 'keep awake additives' before we got there. It was bloody closed. Spent the night in a motorway service station being stared at by the motorway police. Enough to give you the horrors😁. Still, they were happy days.
