great show derek

you actually are allowed 'gifts ' to the value of 34 pounds [just reduced from 40 pounds] but the post office are just ignoring that. its not just records they are stopping for example if you live outside the mainland and have a kid in university and kid wants clothes posted they are being stopped and they write to the university and ask for proof, same is happening with some business samples. but heres the best i know a girl from jersey who sent her nephew a 1.99 plastic toy marked as a gift and it was pulled and charged so in total there was about 8 pounds something to pay hard to believe but true, that has to be illegal no?

there was a guy on ebay a year or two ago that had aquired an 'a' stamp and hed stamped all these english records on various labels and was selling them as demos it was hilarious...

there are similarities between the u.k and u.s in clips over the years but to me if you watch the earliest soul train episodes it could be liverpool, especially the timepiece to me its uncanny and for sure influenced by u.s servicmen https://youtu.be/8bhgEsP6yeo

some info

just released on a jap mini l.p c.d if thats any good

true tony cant get the credit for this, at that time run baby run was a massive youth club play, i belive the chart hits of that era elgins, formations, tammi lynn, newbeats etc were pushed into the charts not so much by the northern scene but by the youth club scene, later youth clubs were more varied with more records to play with but the youth club scene in 71 was like a mini northern scene and a lot of the djs went to the wheel, where i youthed in cheshire it was more or less the same playlist town to town and every kid wanted run baby run

youd be lucky to find one of those too

marvin was just brazen... https://youtu.be/AyJr_MFnHwA

jamie i was going to say last night but wernt sure if theyd be open hmv hasve got some nice large frames for 20 quid with a thickish black edge ive forgotten the size but big enough to do 4 singles and more stuff, i need one for a large poster i want framed it will do me perfectly if i were to do that in my framing shop it would cost me double that

genious

ive got tons of sheet music framed [fronts] but ive never thought to do that! and jamie i think its really important to get the frame right it makes the difference between looking great or looking tacky...

no barry just loved up! i think some people used to think free man south shore commission was a gay song as something is said in there[anyone remember the line?] but i think its because people thought they were an all male group.

barry everyone thinks youre hot, i know i do, i was going to add a smiley but i wont so youll never know...........

barry billy griffin gay? who knew? just did a pink search on google didnt find anything..... so it was billy that took them to the gay bar in aint nobody straight in l.a!

you should have tried it the other way pete after the cats those wolverhampton police would do everything to stop you getting a lift like pull in near where you were hitching so nobody would stop, you would give up and walk further down the road find another place and they would appear again, how they must have laughed.........
