Pete C 2 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Sounds like a bit of heresay then, Pete. Nevertheless as you say, great albums, full of energy with the superb horns of the Ram Jammers.A few years back I used to get Rob Smith to save any Geno 45's he came across for me. Got quite a collection now. Somebody also bought me a relatively modern release of a lot of his old stuff called 'My Bomber, My Dexy's, My High' - pretty good. Stu do you know anywhere in Nottingham that still sells old vinyl..I know Selectadisc have a vinyl selection upstairs but is there any other place that still sells old 60's & 70's records. pete c....still riding a vespa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Can't believe you hadn't heard of it Pete (Where have you been hiding ) He's been there donkeys years, and as I understand he's still doing a bit of mobile stuff still!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Glad you liked it, Pete. Rob's has been an institution around here for a while now. I don't think I've seen anything like it in this country. Amazing how Rob can pretty well always find whatever it is you're asking for! Rob's Records Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Craig would perhaps know better than me but the last time I went in ther eon a Saturday Rob was doing THREE gigs that night - two locals followed by an all-nighter in the West Midlands! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I remember him dashing out of The Thurland one night and sending my girlfreind flying (He appologised profusely and said he had to get to Derby for 11.30pm. It was already ten past!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A true and much loved genius, I've got tearful thinking about him and his sad demise, I can't wait to see this film, the actor portraying him looks amazing, Elvis, eat your heart out, 'Spasticus' could do the things you gave up on in the end.
