Glad you did,'cause it's obvious from my attempts above that I don't know what I'm doing! Bloody computers. Julian

Got a WD of Cigarette Ashes but don't know how to do a scan! Sorry. Also got an issue of the Sandi Sheldon ( big 45 before you ask) just mentioned as you have it on your membership to SS. Julian

F-----g hell, some people need to get a life!!

Hi Ian maybe I will put my hand a little deeper ito the pocket just this once!!! How you doing? Lift to Frobishers next month please! Why don't you find me a Bobby Kline or Danny Monday as well?

Anyone got one for sale? Minty condition if possible. Thanks Julian

Remember going to see them at Wakefield Mecca around 71? about 30 of us danced in a big circle. Seem to remember the following being there. Martin Adshead, Lloyd Bogle,Dave Clegg, Lesley Brown, Glennys Duffy, Carolyn Greenwood ( now my missus) all from Huddersfield. Leeds folk:- Rob Lemoine, Dennis Billingham, Mike Eastwood, Kenny & Bev Coleman Think Graham & Sandra Slater and Gary & Marilyn Chatburn were there as well. + others forgotten. Happy days Julian

Bobby Kline Danny Monday Second time of asking - anyone help with these? Realistic prices paid but please don't try to 'nail m' 'at on!) Julian :angry:

Hi Pete had this lately with a Richie Adams - cost me an extra £25 in tax and PO handling charge , made a cheapish 45 into a reasonably priced 45! I emailed the seller to tell them not to do it in future as it would detract from people bidding. Won a high price item from same seller - he took what I said on board and put the decimal point in the price in the wrong place, therefore no customs! Might be worth emailing seller before bidding.

Used to see Frank regularly at the Mecca - he used to write an events type 'diary' for Blues and Soul ( I seem to remember) + details of the events he visited + the people he met. For the folk on here with the old B&S ( Rob Wigley got all mine!!!) you should be able to find a reference to my wife's bottom being nice!!! ( all these years later, it's still not bad). Last time I saw Frank was at the filming of SWONS at the Victoria & Albert Hotel in Manchester - had a good chat about the old days and also met up with the likes of Kegsy, Andy Simpson, Rob Bellars etc etc before doing our bit for Mr Levine! Julian

Used to see him/them on a regular basis in and around Leeds/Halifax - Morley Town Hall was a regular haunt around '67 with them appearing fairly regularly along with other groups Root & Jenny Jackson, Victor Brox and his Blues train etc etc. For the scooter boys, I used to travel on a blue and white Lambretta GT200 - wonder where it is now? Happy days Julian

Hi Benji PM'ed you JulianB

--> QUOTE(mark.b @ Sep 7 2006, 06:03 PM) link if they are your records then in a dustbin would be best mark Sounds like a guest spot at the Greatstone is out of the question then!!?? Julian

Stupid question I know, but what's the best way to store 45s and LPs? Flat, upright, at an angle? Thanks

Hi Ian seem to remember Ian Dewhirst's dad owned the company that Graham Slater worked for and it was Graham DJing at the staff Xmas parties that got 'Frank' interested in NS. Went to his house in Mirfield a few times to sell him stuff in the early days. The West Indian Club in Huddersfield was on Venn Street ( just along from Lord Jim's where I DJed 1969-1971 or '72) - Twink probably played the stuff I lent him!! The OOTP 45s were all plain white labels ( well, the ones I remember anyway) Julian

Used to buy these wholesale from Chris Burton at 50p a time. As I was building a house at the time, I was not going to soul do's ( and didn't again until 1998!!). Used to give them to a guy called Ian Bottomley (aka Twink) who knocked them out at Wigan for £1 a go along with emidiscs to order at £5 a time ( I did have a few goodies to copy in those days) Anyone remember him doing the business? Julian

Hi Pete they usually fetch around £40 on ebay. Julian

Someone asked recently if this existed. Just spoken to Johnny Mutton & Paul Tindale in Barrow who confirm that they owned a copy of this. Bought at the Mecca for £30 ( thought it was from someone from London) and sold on to the one and only Mr Simon Soussan.

I have one of these green copies in styrene. The deadwax has a MR stamp 64973 ( Jan 67?) + HB-11531-1 a W and an XT and reads PLUG SIDE on the right above the 698 and PROMOTIONAL NOT FOR SALE. under the times etc on the right hand side. Under Luther Ingram it reads ' Distributed by ATCO RECORD SALES 1841 Broadway,N.Y.,N.Y. If I could work out this new scanner I would send a scan. About 2 years ago ( when I had the old scanner) I sent a scan to JM who said he thought it was a 'real one' Does anyone know different or can shed light on this? Thanks
