What a fantastically crusty set of instro's..enough to make ya milk curdle..

Hi Jock, God you got some time on your hands..Agree with a few points there mate. I'm not sure that things are any different in some ways to what they were years ago..Me and Dean Anderson used to put alldayers on (and someone is going to have to help me on the dates as I can't remember) In Notts & Derby mmm. maybe 87-88 but not sure now. Dj's of the time varied but included Butch, Andy Whitmore, Cliff, Some of the Scottish Crew, and various others which again i can't remember. Then butch was breaking through as a dj playing Diane Lewis, Just Bros, walter & Admirations. Mr Whitmore playing underplayed & Unknown crossover and turing many a head in the process. Everyone playing a combination of 60's 70's and 80's soul with the desire to push the boundaries. But even back then, the vast majority of people who "cried out" for this type of policy at a venue never came, instead opting for an oldies doo that was nearer to the manchester ritz or whatever bank holiday nighter was on. Personally we had good times there so no complaints on numbers, but what people say they want and what they actually want are usually 2 different things..

Universal "Diamonds & Pearls" / The Other Bros "Gonna Find a love" / Larry Reynolds "Sweet Tooth"

With you there Cliff..The most boring thread to start. AGAIN...

Hey now then funny hair!!

Good job they don't give you a mic as nobody has a clue what the f**k you on about most of the time mate...

ooops. Logged on as Hooty, its not him, its Byrney

Teffs sitting at the side of me mate, at Kitch's gaff in Florida on a Jolly. All well and good and off for a game of golf. He says hello. I know who you are, last saw you at Shelly's in Stoke

Yes tony your right. Over the years i have probably had 3 copies of this through my hands. I still think it is a hard record I just think not too well known. Conquistadors is the better racord by far. I did trade one recently which i believe ended up with a well known dj and dealer so it has either been sold on or it is going to increase in value massively..but don't hold ya breath.

Rich, How are you mate, hope you are well. Judging by the condition i think it would have been a bit difficult to cut onto something so rough so would still hold that it's a real one. (no amount of rubbing on the carpet can do that) I remember trying to describe the record to you after Poke was selling but not having a very good singing voice could only blurt a few of the words to you and then when Jim played it at Rock City I found out you had had it and sold it to him. Still a great tune though.

To be fair Baz, who would want to put their hand under Coney's bed.. No but i do remember Lenny running around with his sister in law's stockings on his head..

As far as memory serves, Poke had it for a while before that. It's a real one alright.

The Acetate as far as i know was an original which came from Poke's collection to Rich Broughton to Jim Wensoria to Rob Marriott and then finally to it's rightful place in my collection!!

Ok..probably was'nt..have'nt got a mint- copy for sale..I was never here..Note to self - Don't post when your bored..

Well put Andy. I think this is a bit like the multiple copies of every Shrine Release, Every big Detroit and West coast record coming out of that Warehouse in CA..

On this one I don't think that has owt to do with it. It got played more than once cause it's F****kin Awesome man!!!!!!!

There you go Dave. I was'nt that far out considering..You and me are like a Topic bar, Always get there in the end!!

Oh god yes I'm with you on that one. I played it now and again as i thought rob still had it. I don't thinlk Rob would sell it someone as a real one if it was'nt though.

Sorry Joan, I'm with you now. As far as the one Roger has I don't know anything about that to be honest. I assumed Rob still had it!

Not sure what you mean. Rob let me have this a long time ago and never claimed any other.who else has it frankly is down to? hey i suppose Rob can give it to whoever he wants can't he?

To be honest Marc, My memory is not great on how long I have had anything. Can't be far off though. The problem is when you've got something this good you just gotta play it. Personally a new record being played twice in 8 or 9 hours is not that bad really..is it?

I cannot remember when I got this (2 or 3 years ago?) and palyed it when i got the opportunity and seems a few are palying it now. This is a cracking tune that deserves maximum airplay...

Not keeping up with the quotes nto sure which tune we are talkin about but Rob gave me a cut of "Switch Around" and I have the original acetate of "Marrying Kind" which came Via Rob. Hope that helps!!

If it was a bargain, How much will someone give me for a m- copy?

I will try to add one later
