All pure class. Still got all three LP,s The bet with Phil was UK charts

Which one? Tower or Hilton? Tower no Hilton not made my mind up yet.

People who pay this silly money want locking up, and there money left to me

Try again Pete it,s quite funny.

Nice one Brian, how many sites do you look at you? Have you got settled back in Darlo yet?

Well How Much?????

Talkin about James Fountain, I remember at one of the all-dayers at the Ritz. Richard,s last record of is set says "just to prove i,m from Wigan here,s Joe Hicks Don,t it make jou feel funky" Colin up next 1st record "just to prove i,m from Blackpool James Fountain Seven day lover" Pure Class. More so cause Joe Hicks had been dropped from the Mecca playlist for over a year! (where they dj at not where they live)

Yes I danced to Condition Red, but how many didn,t belive that was the right name when it was first played, with all the cover-ups at the time? P.S. I still don,t mind it, but wife thinks it belongs in Blackpool Tower not Blackpool Mecca

I,m sure it only made No2 in the charts Reason being cause me, Ginger and Andy Riding had a bet with Phil Duckworth. If it made No1, Phil had to run thou town centre nude (we all had our fingers crossed)

Hi Geoff, how you keeping long time no see. I sold one to Tim for £4 about 30 years ago

Hi Jayne, i got the Oct one last Fri (no 99). Dave

I used to love making the Airfix models, when i was a kid, but f**ked em up big time when i (tried) to paint them P. S. It was the 2ndWW stuff i liked best.

I,ve got the Outsiders LP it,s not mint, if you still want it PM me a offer.

Suppoise i asked for that I will post some of my fav,s later P.S. Mark i will try get some "live" stuff done for you this week. Dave.

Ya great instrumental, but to me it is just pipped by a earlier Mecca classic namely Earl Wright,s "Thumb a Ride"

It will take me till next week to type up all the records i heard at the Mecca 1st.

Mecca plays what about 75%-80% of all the sounds played in the 70s, maybe more. All the good stuff that is

I,ve been copying my LPs to my PC for the last few mouths (never ending job). I,ve just done the Nolan LP, it sounds like there is 12 differant vocalists and there is only 10 tracks Very strange

Yes Herb Ward great record reminds me of Va-Va,s and early Wigan

Tim says 1st £1000 record was Robbie Lawson (Tim sold to Pat)

Neil&Stuart from Horwich near Bolton, they had some nice OV. I got 1st choice when they sold up (the 1st time)

The reason most of us got into the scene in the 1st place because we didn,t want to be normal

The Strange World of Northern Soul! Sorry i couldn,t resist

Alot better northern on Okeh than Shrine, apart from the old 1 or 2.
