Thanks HG...So did you just email the Evening Post and ask for a copy of the Dungeon raid and they sent you a one?..if you could let me know how you did it I wouldn't mind getting a copy myself. pete c....still riding a vespa

Correction to my previous post..on the cd the name is spelt Hinds on the vinyl its spelt Hines...Island Records WI-194..B side is called The Ark....must lay of the Becks in the evenings it only confuses me!! pete c....still riding a vespa

Hi Bazzer..yes it was very good..really enjoyed it....was only on until 13th June so you have missed it..Alan Fletcher did say that it may go on the road will ask him if thats going to happen also I'm sure he said it would be recorded for DVD so will ask about that too. pete c....still riding a vespa

Favourite Motown track of the day has to be Frank Wilson..Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) a copy which was sold by auction yesterday for £25,742. pete c....still riding a vespa...worth considerably less than the above mention 45 record

The barbers opposite the co-op was called Ron's pete c....still riding a vespa

Any idea what year Jeffs closed down Craig?...any luck with the plaque yet? pete c....still riding a vespa

Record Collector mag must have some of their facts wrong then Craig..still an amazing price for an old record!!! pete c....still riding a vespa

Craig according to this months Record Collector it is the Kenny Burrell copy but on the actual auction site it says it belongs to Tim Brown..Record Collector says Tim Brown had two copies and sold one to Kenny for £15,000 12 years ago. The bids stand at £24735 at the moment and can be viewed at http://www.raresoulman.co.uk I won't be bidding!!! pete c....still riding a vespa

There were a lot of fakes around then Craig...did Mick Parker know he was booking fake acts?....I often took album covers with me to see if they looked the same...a lot of people thought they were seeing the real thing...even the Boat Club had a fake Don Covay on once..I was very disappointed he wasn't the real deal..we were ripped off. Don't know if you have heard but an original copy of Frank Wilson's Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)..is being auctioned and is expected to fetch around £25,000!!!!this copy belonged at one time to your mate Kev Roberts..auction ends 30th April. pete c....still ri

Anyone know if it was the Original Drifters, Bill Pinkneys Drifters..the Invitations posing as the Drifters or the real Drifters who were due to appear on the night of the raid!!! pete c....still riding a vespa

I went to G. G. house once thats why I knew he lived in Gedling..think we called him G. G. because we couldn't say his last name..Polish or something..if its the same guy then I have a picture of him in the school cross country team. Hope Stu goes on alright on his return to hospital..only knew him by sight...couldn't really miss him could you....pass my regards on to G. G. pete c....still riding a vespa

Thanks Hippo Girl would be great if you could....I think you have to ring the library to book a reader...its free as far as I know. pete c....still riding a vespa

Sorry Craig misunderstood..but yes they did play that record at the Dungeon...Beachcomber too....I think the raid was 67 but Im sure that wasn't the only raid...maybe somebody could go to the library on Angel Row and trawl through the achives to see what the Evening Post had to say about it..pretty sure it was front page news....think you have to book a micro reader or something like that but you can print stuff off...a job for someone with lots of time on their hands.............any volunteers? pete c....still riding a vespa

Craig you have You've Been Cheatin' its on one of the Dungeon cd's I did..Vol 2 if I remember right...still have all the songs you mentioned on vinyl. Jan yes I did run Cross Country but only for the school team....did G G live at Gedling? Sorry this is short just come off a 12 hour nightshift and my bed is waiting. pete c....still riding a vespa

Great if your mum can do something Craig..would be good to see the old club remembered in that way....my first trip to the Dungeon was also in 1966...I was 16..think it was in May...my birthday is July when I would be 17 so I know it was before then...the first record I can recall from that day was the Impressions You've Been Cheatin'...sounded wonderful through those huge speakers..I bought the record a few days later and still have it and the follow up Can't Satisfy..two of my all time favourite soul records....I'd never heard music played so loud...loved that walk down those big wide stairs

Yes had Jack Casey as my headmaster..evil man and not fit to teach kids..when he retired we got Henry Higgins..or was it Higgens?..anyway much nicer man and the school was so much better...put me off religion going there and also saw first hand what they got up to during my tours of duty in N.Ireland....the school has long gone but the buildings are still there, went a walk round it a few years back...remember Mr De Lee?..I remember the Mulvanys..there were 3 of them...the youngest was in my class but I cant remember his name....Danny maybe..Trevor was a really good footballer. If you were go

Ok..thanks Craig. pete c....still riding a vespa

Hi Jan..I also went to St. Bernadettes...left in July 64 a couple of days after my 15th birthday. pete c....still riding a vespa
