anyone know the ending price for al mason-good lovin on manships auction tonight, thanks in advance

but look at the other item he has for sale, look at the reason those records are in good condition....im not believing this

in the early days of the casino chris burton actually had o.o.t.p flyers printed up and must have paid people to hand em out,one night there was a technical hitch and they werrnt letting people in, that was possibly the night the beachcomber was born as thats where the dirty deed was done as the people piled in there waiting ,they were glossy fold overs listing all the new the new white titles [the coloured ones had already been done] plus a big list of what was upcoming that must have been the time he was done as no more titles did appear. did anyone keep one of those to post here? imagine someone doing that today maybee the reason the casino opened late that night was cos russ was expanding his record bar upstairs to cope with the demand i also think burton was beaten by the capitol release by then.

nice one simon, ive always loved this

it wasnt actually a record to promote the club it was their theme tune kind of like a 3 before 8 type of thing i suppose. i once asked a gay friend of mine who lived in s.f at the time what the dance your ass off was like his reply was 'i put my head in the door once but it was straight straight straight so i left' so i never got to find out though i remember black echoes printed a picture once. mel brat ill join your imaginary mecca appreciation society

joe boy 7"/ 12"/c.d comp and maybee a c.d single?

think i do i was there every week

spot on carlos marboo was actually eary 76 it preceeded silver convention get up and boogie re tornado the wiz, in that small series atlantic did of 33 rpm 7 inchers the two before this release were from 74 DSKO 50 BARRABAS MAD LOVE DSKO 51 HOT CHOCOLATE DISCO QUEEN now IF there were also 12" acetates of these ,they really would be in the running! all this talk of candi statonyoung hearts run free i did a scout round ebay today and found a badly listed copy [in old skool] hardly any views and one bid at £2.00, i knew it was a proxy so i stuck someting on it, the guys proxy was only £ 3.70 so i won it for that-result!

o.k we all know wigan played erm a few, today i was trying to think of bad records played at the mecca and im struggling, i honestly loved them all many records worked there and when they came on wigans [or other clubs] playlists many never sounded as good due to differences in sound systems i.e marc copage dizzy etc, o.k they are not masterpieces but they worked. hmm what am i gonna say really star wars -meco shouldnt have been played and that crazy record 'crazy horse' [was it the sounds of brass?] irritated me, though in fairness that was more a sale mecca record, any more?

moments was promo only,this really was one of the first u.k twelves, candi staton was a u.k promo in 76 i have one, its rare and sells for around £200

hmmm ian is partly right 1n 76 it was the first 'COMMERCIAL' 12" on r.c.a but it was nowhere near the first 12", in 1975 on a promo including midland international releases it was r.c.a's sixth promo12"

yes but even when russ gave it that legendary play it was old news

like who wanted a free bottle of champagne at the steam machine

i have one dave if you want to p.m

[everybody] get dancin flamingo 1 think there was a release by paula desmond [after g c cameron]

i spend a lot of time in portugal and i remember a record im guessing round 84/5 there was this record similar to rhythm talk with the aint no stopping backing, never bought it and never heard it since, for sure it was euro only, cant remember anything more about it though i think so far nobody has mentioned BOBBY BENNETT DAYS GO BY....
