UK or US copy?

Bloody hell, Steve Grimshaw, how are you? still in Bradford, going to soul do's?? Julian

Cheeky devil. See you were trying to sell your Adventures bootleg the other day!!!!!!

Pretty sure it was an Irish bar then ( although the soul 'do' was upstairs) remember when it got 'busted' - I was DJing at the time and the DJ area was behind wooden poles ( you had to lift up the left hand poles to remove them to gain entry) the cops couldn't figure this out, so whilst the 'raid' was going on, I kept playing tunes - they were seriously pissed off at the time. Seem to remember I finished with Bob Brady's Goodbye Baby on Chariot ( green label) before they finally decided how to get at me!! Great days. Julian

Hi there T.C. Yes, it was one the corner of Roundhay Road and Harehills Lane - run by Dennis Billingham - I have/had a handwritten poster for this venue ( but can't bloody find it) think it was dated sometime in 1972 - there was alot of press coverage in the Yorkshire Post at the time following the 'raids' - Kim Dent ( I think that was his name) from Blackpool was always being quoted about the 'drugs'and soul scene and how they travelled the country attending different venues. I believe Kim died of an overdose not long after, but I may be wrong on this one. Julian

It was the night the Metro got closed down that many of the soulies arrived at Lord Jim's in Huddersfield ( the queue stretched around the corner of the building) that the management decided to 'sack' me as the DJ as the music I and others like Les Cokell, who helped me out, were championing, was attracting the 'wrong sort' of clientele - ah well, all good things come to an end - it freed me up to be able to do the Hernies allnighters in Leeds ( before that got raided and closed as well). Julian

One just gone on the bay with buy it now for $2750 (£1650) approx Doesn't sound much better than the copy recently sold for half that price, so maybe it was a bargain after all!

Congratulations on winning this 45 - that's me and you who now own this RARE copy - anyone else out there with this copy? Julian

Sold a very nice copy the other week for £75 Julian

Cheers Steve that's the one I have ( same as the one on Manships auction at the moment) Julian

What colour reading book are you on now?

Mine is identical but has the 4 prong cut-out centre - the SWONS? Julian

Which one, the bidder or the seller. Sold a M- demo about 6 weeks ago for £200 - was I too cheap? Julian

That's good news for Dean ( I was wondering how to do a scan!) - you've saved my embarrassment. Julian

No it didn't Julian

Good news indeed. Will keep the issue and stop looking for the demo anymore! Julian

Sold a mint UK Capitol demo for £60 in 2007 if that's any help. Julian
