The first record i ever owned (motown or otherwise) was Stevie Wonder - Yesterme - Yesteryou - yesterday was a xmas gift off an aunt as my mum bought my elder bro and sis and myself our first record player between us! and i was the lucky one i think as they got Tracey - The Cufflinks and Kenny Rogers - Ruby don't take ya love to town! xmas 69 i think Pete

I know some older folk wouldn't class Tommy Neal as strictly 'northern' but i suppose thats splitting hairs for me 1st would probably be Little Anthony - Better use your head and most recently through the letterbox Cliff Nobles - judge baby, i'm back on Phil - LA Pete

Nice one steve! but the point is the thread on the said event before and after created so much interest on here (and rumours of 4000+ in attendance) Pete

anti commercialism, underground, anti money making ventures, the scene has moved on? just curious (hard hat firmly on) as to how many on this thread handed a considerable amount of their hard earned cash over to an 'establishment' last month known nationally as PONTINS? i reckon they make a tidy sum out of 'NS' (much more than any promoter in history i reckon) and if they thought they could get 10 more ppl in on a rock n roll weekend they would drop 'NS' like a shot! just a thought!!! not aimed at anyone in particular! Pete

30 odd years ago my fave intro was Tony Clarke - landslide! Nothins changed!

oops! lol agree not a soul singer but as lots of others mentioned non soul singers i thought i would have a pop at one of my hates! hope thats ok Pete

was readingthe thread with interest and agreeing with most of whats being said re lino ritchie, wonder, franklyn, then came dylan, queen etc and thinkin how can i top these with someone even more pants? then came JOE COCKER ffs cant beat that, what the fcuk is he all about? not in the same league but never understood the 'legend' that is Phil Collins! now there is a twat!!!!! but somebody must rate him, who was it that said they only ever bought one album 'no jacket required' and if anybody can think of a better reason for not buying another he would like to hear it? Pete

seriously hes the promoter PMSL

I've got two spare mint records that have cracks slight contradiction in terms?

Only this morning (tues) to late - mandrill dropped through the letterbox - item described as half inch crack from run in, but does not affect play, got it for a suitably reduced price (under £20 i think) only the thing is the seller must be fcukin deaf! LOL oh well win some lose some!! Oh and got a cracked Jack Montgomery also! but plays great!

if memory serves Ruby Winters - Better is a short track but every second pure quality!! Pete

pm'd ya!

quality!!!!!

as you say Winnie could be completely different 2mora! tan geers - let my heart and soul be free timi yuro - never be over for me ruby winters - better seven souls - i still love you jack montgomery - dearly beloved Pete

Nige you should stick one over ya fizzog just before dinner time!!!!!!!! that way you will save more than the badge will ever fetch in no time!!!!

PMSL!!!! Good luck matey with your change of direction, hope it works out, whoda thought?
