I was there that night ( with Mrs B as well) Not in the photo on the LP cover as I was on the stage with Chris Burton, Minshull, Levine, Ellis,Cokell,Day, Otis Leavill etc etc. Great night - saw him at his first show of the tour in Halifax - bloody useless - the backing group that Contempo had supplied didn't know the songs etc. We got them to listen to them from a Major LP I had with me and things got better. They were the backing track on the LP recorded at the Torch Still got the LP - The Rhythm of Major Lance - Columbia 1728 signed copy ' To Julian from a friend always Major Lance' + got the Stoke LP as well. Happy days Julian

Is this C1027? If so, I've got one. Julian

According to JM's book, the original has a 4 turn run in groove and the boot a 2 turn run in. Just checked mine, phew original ( and for sale) Julian

Bloody hell, I started this thread ages ago. Welcome to Mr Phillips - Hi Brian how are you ( not seen you for a couple of months now). I believe it was a rumour a few years ago that Docker had died - incorrect as I recall as he was alive and kicking and quite upset to be 'written off' !! Alan S died a couple of years after the filming of SWONS ( think it was some form of cancer - he did tell me at the time but my memory is crap). Like Brian, I met Alan again in Manchester at the SWONS filming - also present that night were Frank Elson, Andy Simpson, Kegsy, Martyn Ellis,Andy Hanley etc etc and thereby started my love affair with NS again.

I've got a 'prize' + a very nice '71 copy for sale. Any offers? (The 'prize' is not for sale, just in case of confusion!) Julian

Lovely M- copy on P&P £125 ovno Big big play for paul Sadot and others lucky enough to own a copy of this beautiful tune. Sorry, cheque, PO, cash only. Includes registered P&P to the UK Please pm me. Julian

Well, it looks like I either didn't offer enough to reach your reserve prices or was outbid on the items I was interested in. An acknowledgement or a simple thank you for showing interest in your items would have been nice Good manners cost nothing.

sold a M- UK issue end of last year for £40.

pm'd you. Julian

Thanks Mark mine is slightly different - it doesn't have Sue records on the left ( although the face and stars look identical). Also the title is on 2 lines. The plot thickens! How do I do a scan? Julian

Hi Mark this has 65-SU-214 scratched in and 65-SU-188 on Sad Sam side ( I suppose the SU could be mistaken for 54 but the SU corresponds to the issue number under the 133 on the label). Margorie Black 'one more hurt' has the same SU in the middle of the numbers and I don't think this has been booted). Could you please double check and let me know if we agree. Thanks Julian

Hi can anyone post up a scan of the promo copy with 'Sad Sam' as a B side. Not sure if mine is a boot or not ( sorry can't do a scan) Cheers Julian

Once saw young Sean( well, I think it was Sean, if not apologies to him) clear the floor at Bury with Thelma Lindsay's ' Prepared to love you'. Mind you, I can't call him 'cause I did the same with Cindy Scott ' I love you baby' not long after! Perhaps the additives had not kicked in at the time??!! Julian

Sold a minter for £100 about 2 months ago. Julian
