real, not retro, these are the patches that survived my all-nighters and all-dayers, sown onto my 'niter' bag, the bags were essential, containing spare t shirts to change into when the one you were wearing became a little too sweat soaked through epic dancing sessions, toothbrush and toothpaste for that 8am 'brush-up' along with soap, towel and deoderant to keep everything fresh, of course, talcum powder, not for any personal grooming, just to spread on the floor to aid spins when dancing, chewing gum and somewhere to stash those elusive 7 inch vinyl gems, bank holidays were particularly hard, cleo's, derby 'til one am, mail train to sheffield for samantha's all-nighter, back into derby and onto the market to check out 'd.j.b's' new releases, home, bath, out to the 'jorrock's' for a pie and a couple of pints before watching the mighty rams, home, bath, off to wirrina stadium at peterboro' or st ive's recreation centre for the 'nighter, home sunday morning, tiffany's derby 'nighter sunday night and bank holiday monday would be either nott's palais or the pavillion at matlock bath, keep the faith.......
