Do Any Tunes Make You Cry
Loads really but none spring to mind at the moment. It could be song I have not heard for a while, a song that reminds me of someone who is no longer with us. A song that reminds me of something I have done in the past etc.

Robert Thomas - Salvation - Charay
Yes yellow labels, but I could not recall the colour of the writing (it was doing my head in). At least someone else remembers Robert Thomas being in soul packs.

Again the yellow label inst was by The Men From Maccon. I sold all three yellow copies to Barry Waddington back in the 70s.

I was under the impression that the Rita Lee (white label) was the boot of Cresa Watson (yellow label)? Cresa Watson was the one played back than and was dropped when the Rita Lee's were everywhere at 85p.

Records That Were Hard To Dance To
Andy, do you not remember Dave Ellson he always danced to fast to most records. When he danced to these and "She tryed to kiss me" etc it looked just about right. Always danced like he was running the 100m, even to Jazz-Funk. Dave.

Hows Many Times Did You Go To The Casino?
John I had to put my replys in some great questions. Phil I went to Wigan about 100 time s plus, but I went to the Mecca 200 - 250 times at a guess maybe more. A few times on to Wigan from Blackpool on THAT bus, and later had a car. (works van) Dave. P.S. don't know why replys are in blue?

Anglo Auction - Matta Baby
I sold my copy to Ian Gillabrand in the late 70s for about £8. When Ian sold most of his records early 80s he got no takers on this, and let it go in a job lot for about £2 Times have gone truely mad if Tim gets anywhere near the asking price.

Operator Operator
"Shy Guy" massive sound in the summer of 74, "Operator Operator" played a year later but was mass imported so it was soon dropped from playlists.

Wigan Dance Competition Winners
Neil Rushton's ex won one or the early dance competitions at Wigan (poss the 1st one) I can't remember her name ? (Angie?) she was good, it was before she was with Neil. I think Frank Booper (if that's the right spelling) came second. Chris Ghearson (spelling again?) was also one of the final contestants.
