Yeah just looks funny today to see those prices, just like looking at 40 year old mailing lists. Makes you wish you had had more insight into future prices back in the day.

Had to put this up. This is the inside cover of a P.P.Arnold record. It was released in 1980. It was the last paragraph that made me chuckle! Click on the image to enlarge!

Hi Roy, hope you're well. The Central IS a 400 capacity, next time I'm down there I will take a piccy of the legal capacity plate on the inside of the main entrance. Granted you'd struggle to have 400 in a Northern event there as so much space is needed for dancing. but they regularly hit capacity and more for other less space demanding events that they hold there. Also Malc Burton and been in touch with Chris Burton and these are apparently the legit figures: Quote Malc Burton: Spoke with Chris Burton yesterday, and he confirmed that the licenced capacity of The Torch was 650, and most weeks at the height of its' success, there was usually 500-600 in. The attendance for Major Lance was 1,262.

Do the original copies have these markings please? "Togetherness" "JC 67-C-506-A", after that there is also a "5" all on it's own several inches from the last word. Thanks

50p on some nights LOL

Temptations - Save your love for a rainy day, slightly slower than the Van Dykes version, but still an excellent version.

I am merely quoting a post from facebook that someone stated. I thought I would open it up to those that may know, hoping that I may be able to get some facts as Opposed to estimations.

Like saying it held 2000?

There is a debate going on on Facebook about how many the Torch had in at it's fullest. Apparently it has been quoted in Elaine Constantine's book (page 76) "with 2000 in it was brilliant". We are doubting that 2000 ever got into the place, and the most ever was at the Major Lance event. Has anyone got any idea of the official maximum capacity of the venue? or even better the official figure for the attendance for the ML gig? I remember it being packed for that event and I would probably put the figure more at 'maybe' a 1000-1200??

Probably shooting myself in the foot here, so I've put mi bulletproof vest on for the onslaught of comments. I know a lot of folk on here don't like albums from what I have read in the past. But I myself have always had a love for them. They are good value for money and many times you get extended ot alternative versions of well known tracks, Plus many times there are suprise tracks on them that you may not have heard before. Here are a few of my favorites:

Excellent and thanks for your response. The reason I asked is the release number '2002'. I saw the release number and thought that might have been the year of re-release so I thought I would ask. I just bought one from the states for $4.99. I just like albums https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190926764680 Check out the postage cost from the states, and it's already been posted with tracking number provided. Thanks again.

Does anyone know if the Larry Santos "Just A Man" LP was re-released at any time please?

This is the REAL S**T!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBmHNk532Hg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub2RUra8nEE If yer feet don't tap to them, check yer pulse!!!!

Anything on 'Prelude' or 'West End' records and youre on a winner. Mostly the less commercial stuff.

Yeah and it's strange that there are suddenly quite a few of them turning up on eBay too??

Gutted!! Done that a few times and then banged my head on the desk when I realised the auction had finished without me bidding enough.

and the full MP3 too, right, where's that Emidisc machine???

Like it, I bet the seller is gutted that he only got a tenner for it.

LOL!!

John if it was a phishing scam, and you signed in to your account via the link in the mail, the perpetrators will have your sign in details now, so if I were you I would change your sign in details sharpish.

yeah the £50 reserve thing is ridiculous especially if what you are selling isn't worth £50. You can't put a reserve on it so the only option is to start at the lowest price you would take, and then it deters bidders from bidding. For the last say 100 auctions I have had on eBay, I have started the bidding at 99p, if the item is wanted it will find it's price, plus the 99p start encourages more bids. I know it sounds risky, but I have watched items exactly the same as I am selling with a high start price, not get any bids at all, whereas the one I am selling has reached a higher amount.
