I brought this on a Saturday, 4 March 1978 - going to Peterborough all-nighter not even sure if it was St Ives - but they may have shut by then - Me and my mate traveled by bus up from South London to Cambridge then on to the nighter - he also brought a patch work leather but all brown mine as per photos is ox blood - still weighs a ton - went to the Casino in it once left it in the coat room up up stairs - did not expect it to be there in the morning but it was 👍🏻👍🏻 True piece of NS history

So they needed donations for the $8,700 headstone ? it’s a pity that James wasn’t appreciated by the people who have made the big bucks - shame on them 😡 Berry Gordy has an estimated net worth of $400 million Smokey Robinson is an American R&B and pop singer-songwriter, record producer, and former record executive who has a net worth of $150 million As of 2021, Diana Ross' net worth is $250 million Stevie Wonder is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer who has a net worth of $110 million dollars

Wombat - only for the true 100mph dancers - just about as fast as it gets - very rarely gets played out especially most of us are that much older - I still remember walking into 1979 Coalville all-nighter buzzing my neck off hearing this and thinking - fuck this is going to be a good night - 👍🏻

Sometimes at events - I brought a few pair of baggies so they use to come with leaflets- I’ve still got my denim baggies and long leather patchwork coat ox blood cost £49 from Dave pink in Cambridge still got the receipt - the patch work denims had one patch where you could stash you’re gear / wrap - also when blazers were worn they usually had a soul badge this was sawn on with white elastic thread - again to slip a deal or a few pills behind 👍🏻👍🏻 Especially if you traveled to South Yorkshire, old bill the worst

This is how the leaflets were - usually thrown on a few tables

Back in 79 named my first boy Dean after him 78 in junk shops in South London picked up a Stateside copy of Determination for 10p when I met him while touring here I got him to sign my end of an era final night Wigan ticket - very humble man - I truly don’t believe he knew how big he was on the NS scene - RIP and thanks for you’re music 😢

Last time I saw Bub DJ was at Staveley - think it was a miners hall, it was that long ago you could still smoke inside 🤔 - whenever he was on, it lifted the room, always interesting what he was going to say between records, managing to get swear words in that seemed to fit 😂🤣 If you missed Bub DJing you’re loss - one of life’s real big NS characters 👍🏻👍🏻

Played at St Ives & Yate - massive tune at the time, bit poppy but filled the floors - RIP

Joey Dee instrumental, which is the side I remember being big, is the tune that goes through my head all the next day after an allnighter, even if it wasn't played! Masive back in the day St Ives / Casino - got another big re play around 1982 just after the Casino shut 👍🏻

from Brian Rae Was played at st lves and kettering ect ...

Great info - history and of course Steve ready for action 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Cheers Mick - it’s ok till the Mexico pipes come in then comes back strong with the horn section - I’ve asked Brian Rae if he can remember it being played at the casino - 100mph sound with a gram of wizz in you 😉😉 I’ll post if he reply’s 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

going through some old nighter in the car C90 tapes - I came across this - around 76 / 77 - anyone else remember venue or Dj who spun it 🤔🤔

1300 Boulevard Way, Walnut Creek Walnut Creek is now a very upscale Bay Area suburb--Stephen Curry lives there, for example--but it was not always so. I can recall when there were actually walnut groves. Walnut Creek doesn't really have much of a 60s rock history. Interestingly, however, it all revolves around one place--1300 Boulevard Way. February 23, 1963 Walnut Creek Hall, Walnut Creek, CA: Bobby Freeman/Wally Cox/The Untouchables Correspondent Kent found this ancient "boxing-style" poster, for what very well may be Walnut Creek's very first rock show. It was held at The Walnut Creek Hall, at 1300 Boulevard Way. Bobby Freeman had had a huge hit with "Do You Wanna Dance" (no, Jerry Garcia did not play on it, whatever you may have read). The Wally Cox was not the actor, but a singer.

How long before rare soul gets put in the skip ? Am 62 and can still see me attending soul venues up till I kick the bucket - so hopefully a few years to go. As to records and values - I’ve never brought a record for investment, so don’t care - but if you look at Tears Leroy Decca Demo brought at the casino in 77/78 - for £20 which is worth about £113 in today’s money - I guess selling it today for £113.50p am ahead of the game - win win 👍🏻

Tony Basil - one of the first Soul Train dancers- also danced on numerous films such as viva Las Vegas - at 74 years old she still got it and is an inspiration to us all - nothing to do, punch Toni Basil in on you tube and be amazed 👍🏻

So had to be around 78/79/80 - I remember it being sold in record bars and maybe 1st hour set or even setting up system set - just because it was different or the same as HB - it’s 1968 so may have been played at the wheel 🤔

This is about as bad as it gets
