It’s simple you break the law you pay the price - it’s called life get on with it - no one’s above the law. I am sure she’s getting advice from legal people, if she appeals and stay great.

Give Berry a call - he’s good for a few $$$

The show was called Anything Goes - hence the drum skin with the same words on 👍🏻 In 1954, Marilyn Monroe entertained over 100,000 American troops in Korea during an organized show titled "Anything Goes."

Anything goes

I would go down to top 5 that mean something, frame them , if you live in a big house top 10 , then pull another 30 you just can’t let go - they mean something to you. After that split your collection down and bleed out the collection, either through SS or evil bay one at a time , big money top times first , slowly work yourself back to the £10 boots - and loads of Motown - then what ever is left - contact one of the record dealers like Rob Smith yea I know he’s only going to give you £2 per record for what’s left but hey someone else can enjoy them . or you go straight to plan B and sell the whole lot - and as you close the door after they’ve gone you think - is that it , am left with nothing 😢

Back in the mid 70ts when all we had was Black Echoes - I would flip to the NS 🤔 think it was melting pot and view where the DJs were playing Brian Rae was my go to DJ - played oldies put 100% into his DJ ing and would take time to talk to a kid speeding my nuts off, asking stupid questions - When the Casino shut in 81, we opened the Peterborough Soul Club in 82 - Brian was a dj who without question would help us out - it’s been great knowing you Sir - RIP mate

Gotta love this SS was hated in the mid 70ts he got the blame rightly or wrongly for pressing everything that was discovered - a new sound would hit the turntables on a Sat at the Casino packed the floor - within a few weeks it was pressed and sold £5 a piece as well as booting and pressing every thing else in between. Guess you had to be there, to know 🤔 😂🤣

This gets my vote 👍🏻

July 3, 2017By Matt A When the story of how Britain fell in love with underground club culture is told, it tends to follow a familiar narrative. The initial focus naturally falls on the NS scene of the late ’60s and early ’70s, which effectively created the blueprint for modern club culture by promoting the idea of dancing all night to obscure music played by DJs whose reputation was built on their ability to champion records their rivals didn’t own. The story then moves on to the rise of house music, ecstasy culture and the rave movement at the tail end of the 1980s. It was during this period that dance music became part of the fabric of British culture, in the process sparking the rise of the “superstar DJ,” colossal events and a boom in music production that... the full article can be read via Britain’s First Dance Music Boom...Britain’s First Dance Music Boom: The Soul All-Dayer Scen...The scene that gave Britain the cult of the DJ, the UK’s first dedicated dance music festival and the future pioneers of rave.

When they were good they were great - 👀 one of my fondest memories was at the anniversary’s - at some stage there would be a slight pause either for prize draws or to thank the staff bla bla bla so no music, yet it was not uncommon to see people still dancing, moving spinning - 🤣😂

What happened to Clem Curtis? Curtis died on 27 March 2017 at the age of 76, after a short battle with cancer. Curtis has been referred to on various occasions, informally as "The Godfather of English Soul".

1st instrumental to be played at the Casino 👏🏻👏🏻

Back in 79 when I first started DJing to cue the records you could either use the lights that flicker or head phones if you went past the start of the record you pick the needle up and start again - till your happy - I still use that method in 2025 - hey guess what it works I saw a young guy take to the decks after me who put the record on and then cued it back - my advice “your gonna duck that record and needle up” he looked t me as if to say “ I know better”

blast from the past - stomper / shuffler

7 May 2025, 10:30 BST Four anonymous housekeepers are suing Motown legend Smokey Robinson for $50 million (£37 million), accusing him of sexual assault. A complaint filed in Los Angeles superior court accuses the 85-year-old of sexual battery, false imprisonment, negligence and gender violence, in addition to a number of labour violations related to wages, breaks, meal times and overtime pay. The lawsuit also names Robinson's wife, Frances Robinson, claiming she contributed to a hostile work environment, and used "ethnically pejorative words and language". Jane Does 1, 3 and 4 all allege Robinson sexually assaulted them in the "blue bedroom" of his Chatsworth residence, claiming he would lay down a towel to protect the bed sheets prior to the assaults. Jane Doe 2's allegations state that Robinson raped her in the laundry room and garage of his Chatsworth residence, where closed-circuit cameras were unable to see.

First played St Ives 1977 but played out everywhere when it went big

1983 old write up with SS Sunday 1st May (Bank Holiday weekend) sees the promised marathon ‘Ritz Revival’ alldayer at Manchester’s Rotters with living legends Ian Levine, Colin Curtis & Richard Searling spinning ’70s soul before at midnight switching into an allniter situation with the addition of Northern Soul pioneers Tony Jebb, Les Cokell, Kev Roberts & Simon Soussan plus two as yet unspecified US acts (veterans of the Mirwood label looking likely) — now that is one that I’ll definitely try to get to! . . . Ian Levine is currently donning suit and tie and lugging all his records across town to do “up market semi-gay” Sundays at Kensington High Street’s Gardens, kinda like New York’s Studio 54 before it became ultra-commercial,

The classic chicken and the egg 🤔 Someone asks - What’s Northern Soul ? reply - You know the Motown sound mid 60ts yes Well it’s like that , but different 😂🤣👍🏻👍🏻

Without changing the subject to much Car Wash was played at St Ives 1975 If you cut and paste Unbelieveably Played At Wigan it takes you to Soul Source 2009 - let the arguments begin 🤣😂

Knew Chis & Harry back in the day (76) pre DEMOB days - Chris was always the calm one , I remember Harry on the balcony at the Casino with a roll neck top on - I said ain’t you hot which he pulled his jumper up to show a rounders bat in his belt as he was on the hunt for a non payer 🤣😂 Last time I saw Chris would be about 88 at the Scrubs he was on remand for allegedly setting fire 🔥 to something - I still talk to his brother on what’s app - great bloke, now he could tell you some crazy stories 🤔🤔🤣😂
