Brilliant memories- Chris was there (I didn't make it until August 1974) thanks so much ! Sharon X

Blimey! You and me led parallel lives for a while! ! knutsford was the regular stop off! I recall a car side swiping us on one of the trips; can't call what damage was done to Ian's van but no one would have noticed it I'm sure! Mick Casey- now there's a name I recall as well. I've replied to your PM Xx

I haven't seen Ian since the late 70s so probably wouldn't recognise him now. I went out with him for a while when he used to DJ at the Carlton Hotel (when Forest old chairman Fred Reacher owned it! As I recall Fred's daughter Sally worked behind the bar!) Do you remember Ian's van (a transit or comma I think) ? It had purple (?) writing all over it- northern soul comments ' keep the faith' etc etc!! That was how I made my first trip to Wigan which was so exciting for a 16 year old -August 1974. I can't remember John Black at Creepers but there was more than Rob Smith Djing so very possibly. Colmans, Brit, Ilkeston Co op (where the bus to Cleethorpes went from and possibly Wigan ?- my memory fails at the most important times!!) Palais were all favourite local haunts at the time for me also. 'Wee Wee' haha! I'd forgotten a lot used to call Ian that: mostly those from the Bestwood estate where he lived at that time ( I think!!!) x

I must know you! We went to the same places, knocked about with the same people at the same time ! A very small world indeed!

ups sorry thats a cd, will put brain in gear next time. chris

Ill take Joe Valantine of your hands youth. chris

Would love a copy of the Del Rays Destination Unknown original only please Chris

Anybody have any history on Moses Smith. Seem difficult to trace. Chris

Fair do's to the seller. If people were prepared to ask he was prepared to tell them. As he did me, However if its a boot I think the seller should say so on the post

Ended up at £160.00

Think it's crazy, but I guess people care less and less whether its real or not, that's if they even care

Theres a Duke Browner boot on eBay with an hour to go at £110 Asked the seller if it was an original. Told me the matrix was scratched in not stamped. Amazing

Thanks. That's great. Knew Ss would be quick

Info on the track. All we need is time for love, label etc Cheers Chris

Can somebody give me the matrix for an original Duke Browner. And other pointers to an original Ta Chris

Copy of Babe Ruth, Elusive, on a white demo, anybody please Chris

Question. As anybody ever compiled a list of dodgy eBay sellers or others that you think we should avoid, Chris

I was always wary of that revolving dance floor. It was bad enough trying to dance never mind the floor moving as well. Around 73 when I first started going with my mate Trev. Spent most of the time propping up the bar. Didn't seem very well supported back then and often it was quite empty. Got my first intro into Worthington E down in the Bali Hi. No wonder I hate beer. Lol. Was never interested in who was d jaying only what was playing. Brit club on Friday night was priority though and if we could be bothered afte work we did the Palais on Monday. Good memories Chris

Been listening to a record on the Internet. Long shot I know but it seemed the title was. Give the love, heal the land. Had a great beat. Was listening on Soul allnighter soul station based in Germany. Driving me crazy. Have a sound bite on my phone so if you pm your number I'll play it for you. Anybody Chris

Did it have Promo copy written on it? The one I'm looking at as a moulded label and not paper but the dead wax is nearly as large as the actual recording

Quick question. Was Virginia Wolves. Stay, pressed up Chris
