Soul Stu

Jnr Walker was fantastic at the Cats I took Alan Rhodes

Hi Roy Great days

Great days I remember the bus breaking down and we had to push it up a hill I used to suffer from travel sickness especially after a nighter One particular journey back I was chucking up out of the drivers side window and drinking Lynn's Milk of Magnesia...

Soul Sounds was run by Jeff King; it came and went during 1970 and issued around thirty singles, in small pressings. The first pressing was Leon Haywood - Baby Reconsider a massive sound at the time first played at the Catacomb's. I got a copy from Jeff at the Wheel and still have it but I did eventually get it on Fat Fish.

Just been routing around looking for boxes of records and stumbled on a blast from the past original hand painted poster.

Only had one trip to The Pendulum club an interesting night , think it closed at 2am spent the rest of the night talking records at Victoria station waiting for the milk train back to York......

Johnny Sayles I cant get enough {of your love One of my all time favorites the hairs on my head literally stand on end when i hear this what kind record can do that! It just goes to shows its sheer power. The Inspirations No One Can Take Your Place Simply one of the best records ever just blows me away Sam Nesbit , Black Mother Goose Discovered by Dave Godin absolute Classic

Great posting The scene in Manchester was just magic, the atmosphere in the Wheel and the Top Twenty was electric, no silly clothes just smart suits.

Totally agree depends on your state of mind at the time

Another brilliant Centurial reunion Brilliant meeting up with Sammy, Swish and Pete on Sunday just like the old days,Its probably been over 30 years since we all got together but it seems like only yesterday. Sammy with his box of records (some nice gems mate) , However I was saddened to hear about Tony Coleby untimely departure R.I.P. mate. From time to time it keeps cropping up about the Walter Mitty Syndrome. (Someone who lives in a fantasy world). Trying to create a past persona in the scene and contradict the actual facts I just wish people would be honest. Dobie Gray summed it up Other guys imitate us, but the original is still the greatest https://

God this takes me back reminds me of the all nighters at the String o 'BeadsBradford

I've Got Something Good Looking like its going to be smashing day on Sunday

Dont bring me down

It’s hard to explain the scene in the old days we had a common bond with the music.

Hi Sammy Looks like the old gangs getting back together, it’s about time the scenes been hijack

Spot on Swish I am sick of all the dick heads that have hijacked our scene ..

Reminiscing 1968 Top meeting place in Manchester used to be the Dolphin 9.30pm on a Saturday night for your pharmaceutical needs. Smith Kline and French or Rika then of to the. Top Twenty. (actually better than the Wheel) Because there was an all dayer on the Sunday.Turfed out at 8am to Bessie Banks Go Now and back in at 9am great days. Great days

Be great to all get back together just like the old days.

Hi Swish Stella Dex intresting topic ! l.o.l, if you want any membership scans I still have my Wheel and all the other clubs cards (or was it all a dream)

Hi Pete Getting more and more like the old days right people right place

Hi Swish Great days Pity about all the bull shitters I personally blame it on all the books written about the scene, they have become bibles for wannabes.

Hi Pete Interesting reading the posts on the Metro. This is typical of the scene, so many Johnny come latelies trying to write themselves into the history books.
