Nogger, you have got everybodys support. You are an inspiration to us all. Get well soon mate!!! Tony Foster

I remember it very well. Getting off the train at Longport station after a Saturday night at the Casino. Just popping in at home for a quick change, as I live in the area it was handy, and then off to Tiffanys All-dayer. Great line ups and great tunes. A few things I could remember being played. Syng Mcgowan - That's what i want Bobby Paris - I walked away Jay d Martin - By yourself Camp - marching Jewels - We got togetherness Flaming Emeralds - Have some everybody Eddie Regan - Playin' hide and seek Just a few to name. Also a few of the DJ's Brian Rae Soul Sam - Who always played These things will keep me loving you - Velvelettes and caused a stormer at the time as I he had copy of Wakefield Sun - Trypt on love. Which I think was covered as Eddie Jason? Dave Evison - JJ Barnes - How Long fame at the all dayers Richard Searling who also guested at the Adulte all-dayers in Burslem. Now how many people can remember these? I seem to remember him playing Sylvetti - Spring Rain at the time amongst other Monster tunes Chris Savory also took a turn behind the decks Pep - Top Man and Keith Minshull who played YMCA - VILLAGE PEOPLE at one all-dayer - which I think was for a bet!!! Cheers for now Tony

I do agree with you regarding the Embers but this was the first press for the Jewels.

You are 100% right. The MGM copy with the Embers on the flip did come out first. They were snapped up at the Casino. I remember being offered one for £3 at the time and the next month they were released on the MGM SPECIAL issue. You have got to remember that both sides were massive tunes at the time. KTF Tony
