I think it's the best thing they ever did. But, happy to hear your alternatives and to continue my education. Peter

Well done Dave - picked up some great new tunes via these threads. Yep, sort of know what's coming. Will try and research a few early doors! Peter

Mm, I worked there for a bit in the early 90's - was involved in running a financial services business based at the bottom of Bath Street - there was a pub opposite which I can't remember the name of. Bit of a brawling place at weekends - appparently. I often think of Shippo - what a lovely, friendly lad he was. There's a picture of him on here somewhere - he looks so young, care free and happy. He was a gentleman.

I seem to recall Shippo (bless him) tellling me the story about Curly living there when he was growing up - they had a tough time by all accounts and think they moved as a result. It's a tough old place is Ilson - as are lots of towns around and about.

Don't know the flip - just played it from You Tube and it's not my bag at all. It's proper disco that is!

Mm, it might have been sam then. It's a decent record.

Nice one Simon - my memory kicked in two minutes before your expertise! Not sure now that it was a Sam spin? I now seem to recall Robin S playing it somwehere - Leics Odd Fellows maybe. Oh, dear, the memory isn't what it was and it twas many moons ago. Great track IMO. Cheers buddy. Peter

Got it. It's Cut Glass! Peter

Yep, got one somewhere as well. Hope yer well buddy. Peter

Aaarggh! I'm having one of those moments! I've got a song going round in my head which I know and like really well - but cannot for the life of me remember what it is. I'm sure it's an old Sam spin - might be Dickie, might be someone else. Big modern record back in the day - ah, nearly remembered the title Alive with Love? Chorus goes I can make you want me, I can make you love me, I can make you mine, all mine - or something like that. any other day I'd remember - ideas anyone? Thanks Peter

Not sure that I know this Billy and can't find a clip on You Tube - have you got one buddy? Peter

Nice one Tank. Not something I've listened to before. Mm, does our scene under rate Marvin - I think I might be guilty of that.

Good shout!

Thought about William Bell mesen mate.

A bit heavy for the old lad!

Hi Byrney Didn't Curly used to live in Ilson - many moons ago like? Not seen him for ages - last saw him in town I think. Peter

Of course it was Sean. I would have liked your post ..............but I've used up todays quota! Peter

Daybreak is one of my top tunes ever - I think! Peter

I used to like banging ZZ and Co on. Let's all have a disco, let's all have a disco, la,la,la,la la,la,la,la!

I'll vouch for Mr Hampsey.

Nice cheapy from me today. Otis Clay - Turn Back the Hands Peter

Nice. Done some good stuff has Mr Jackson. I like this - not heard it before. Better than Chapter 8. Peter

Pete Smith can probably point you in the right direction.
