Actually, talking of Dick Emery in association with the Roundhouse...
One evening in 1975, I am passing the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, when I see a crowd of media types congregating outside the place. There is also a wheelie bin among them ladened with flexidisc 7" singles, apparently thrown out. I say to one of the guys there, "have you no use of these?.
"Nah mate," he replies.
"Can I have them," I say.
"Sure," he replies.
The reason I want these flexidiscs is purely for the sleeves they are in. Every disc there is a copy of Dick Emery's 'You Are Awful But I Like You', a promotion of which has just finished taking place at the Arts Centre, but I have no use for this comedy disc. At my home I have hundreds of records bought from warehouses, junk and secondhand shops, all sleeved in old, dirty, torn, stained sleeves and would rather resleeve them in these pristine white bags. I grab a few handfuls, about 150 copies, and put them into my shoulder bag and start walking back to the house where I am squatting in Swiss Cottage.
Just as I reach Belsize Park station on Haverstock Hill, a police car draws up alongside me and two filth jump out and ask me what I have in my bag. I show them and tell the story I've just repeated here. Incredibly, the police actually believe what I have to say, let me go, get back into their car and drive off.
