awesome record = HOLLYWOOD FLAMES - IM COMING HOME - SYMBOL vg+ £15

I sincerely hope nobody was hurt, the fire briagade folk who attended are all ok and any busines's in close proximity are in a position to continue trading.

Thanks to Dave Wapples for the cd...Ive just listend to the whole thing in stereo for the first time with no crackles. Did Mr. Lance really say half way through Investigate "is everybody blocked?" fantastic.. It truly is one of the greatest peices of northern soul history that allways leaves me with a smile on my face but a gut wrenching jealousy of those who attended this particular night.

Ive just discovered you can grow herbs all year round indoors, its magic.

Nobody mess's with fackin Joe Hawkins mate...

the first time I went Feb 73 I held onto them railings, i swear the whole building was moving.

It was sponsored by BRUT...

Tez Millie Jackson was a play at the Torch late 1972 after its release on Spring in August/1972

the big boys told me about the lantern in Mkt Harboro which filled a gap between the wheel closing and the Torch opening for nighters, it later changed its name to something like The Frollicking Knee Cap or something like that... Went over there one night and got well and trully fucked by a gang of Greebos with chains and stuff, happy days.

Just gone through my Torch stuff..."December - Programme deatils" those little pocket size fold up flyers.. Deffo Dec 9th with supporting act Mac and Katie Kissoon Member £1 each...(did they appear???) Sunday Dec 31st NEW YEARS EVE ALL-NIGHTER BALL with Archie Bell adv tickets £2 (robbing bastard )

My first night at the Torch...wasn't Edwin Starr the live act ..Dec 9th? crikey how many dubes had you gobbed that night? deffo Dec 9th 1972.......... https://raresoul.org.uk/hinckleysoulclub/torch.htm

a few people have asked if I could put together something for the refrosol part of this forum to celebrate the greatest Northern Soul live show of all time. With Mike Hughes help I might be able to get 30mins from the contempo recording on here for all those that have never heard it before plus another 30min hit from the recent Chris Lalor tape that Toad did for us all. I missed the Major lance night in Dec 1972 and can only dream what it must have been to be there as the live recording I played yesterday made me tingle....its fookin awesome. So over to you guys, if theres enough interest we'll have ago at editing etc over the weekend. PD

trust me its a shyte record that no matter how many plays it may recieve will never become a rarity let alone a big record...

HAS anyone got an email for ss member "BUEY" he put a want out last week which I replied to and it would appear he's been offline for a few days...

ffs get a life... I can't even remember what was on the telly last night.

so you scammed my copy of Cold Cheese as well. Who said we're still god freinds, I tollerate you and thats about it mush, afterall youve never ever apologised......

I can...spoke to JA during the week and he told me he'd had a handful of "the spy come in" "put me one to one side I'll get smudge to pick it up sat. Contacted smudge the week after and he explains there was no record there...that Friday he was playing my copy...

or Andrew Sliversalts , Ann Thrax or my mate from Dusseldorf, Len Dussatenna

I'll let SmudgeSmith tell the story how he stole my copy from Soul Bowl in 1975

The Uptights--Shy Guy--Columbia VG+ £75 if thats a RED ISSUE then I'm amazed someone who knows about rare records hasn't made you an offer, hell of a record and frankly considering the rarity a hell of a price

if anyone has one could they pm me please

just listen to the first 60secs of the Major Lance live at the Torch Album who can ever forget those immortal opening words..."thats what you call a typical Martyn Ellis cock up don't don't record that you'll get me sent down, ok fellas, now ya know"...that WAS Martyn Ellis. I dj'd with him at a gig in Newton le willows and he was full of it, several weeks after I was doing some research for an article I was writing about the Torch and googled the dj's, Martyn was first in and to my horror a story unfolded that he had died. It shook me up me big time it was if I'd lost someone close though to be fair I didn't really know him.
