Speaking of Esther, If any one sees her cover of "home is where the hatred
is" , I want it...
That reminds me, I was at the Sink's re-opening birthday last Sunday, and
whilst having a flick through 7"s I couldn't afford and would never see
again, I noticed the man selling them had a portable record player. It was
about 10" long by 4 wide, and was apparently made by technics until about
1989. It looked something like a vinyl walkman... Anyone ever seen one?

Yeah, that's part of what it was about, but Levine was also known as being
the main man for it. His parents owned some successful businesses in
Blackpool, and he was one of the first Northern Soul DJ's to fly over to
the
US with the intention of going to old warehouses and shops to buy rare
soul.
He also became a pariah at one of the other famous clubs, the Wigan Casino,
due to him pushing newer records rather than just 'oldies'. Apparently
Esther Phillip's 'What A Difference A Day Makes' nearly tore the scene in
two.
