The Warehouse - Leeds : Severe Nostalgia Trip

I know from previous topics theres many Phono people out there but I'm curious as to whether there's many Warehouse afficinados?

I'm idly building playlists in iTunes and putting together classic Phono and Warehouse Top Nite Out playlists.

Phono is pretty easy as I was still going semi regularly until a year or so ago, and Geoff could always be relied upon for a bit of Martha and the Muffins ;) , but The Warehouse effectively ceased to be a place to go in about 1990 when they changed Friday nights from 'Goth' to 'House'.

I went almost every Friday from 1985 though, and Choque had a pretty solid playlist that he added to and subtracted from around the edges and it's this 'core' that I'm struggling to recall.

Bear in mind that whilst this was a 'Goth' club, there wasn't an awful lot of 'Goth' played as te following should illustrate:

The Bolshoi - A Way
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Chance
Virgin Prunes - Pagan Lovesong
Soft Cell - Tainted Love / Where Did Our Love Go
Gina X - No G.D.M.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Time Warp / Sweet Transvestite
The Sisters Of Mercy - Marian / Alice
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary
The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon
The Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right
MARRS - Pump Up The Volume
Sweet - Sweet Megamix
The The - Uncertain Smile / This Is the Day

If there's anyone out there that can help out (and if Herr Quiff wants to forward this onto Choque himself the so much the better!) then I'd be most grateful :)

I'm not from Leeds but my flatmate was, I visited him c.1981 and saw Out on Blue Six at the Warehouse.
Leeds was "It's Grim Oop Norff" in them days.
All I remember is black sheets of rain, bad curry, warm beer and a lot of woodwork in't Warehouse. :urff:

how's that?
