Its not the soul world you need to concern yourself with.

There's a large funk scene who've been looking for this a lot longer than most soul collectors :)

A guy on here bagged one last yr for very cheap off a sales list, he might have left a comment on a previous want?

Funk scene Nev? Where's that then. Except for Soul Funktion I'm otherwise unaware of any nights that dedicate themselves to this genre. Might sound naive but let me know otherwise and I'll see you there

It's world wide... But should re- iterate... A lot of people have been buying up the rare funk music from the 70's long before it became fashionable to the rare soul dj's and thus have already snapped up a lot of the great records that are now being chased by us soul fans.

JNixon will probably be better to explain or even Big George, who was selling lots of funky edged records on his concourse website when not many of us were interested :(

The 70'S? Get out of here, it was all after Kebs Deep Funk which spawned a whole lot of nights, which then fizzled out when there were 13 dj's left and 12 punters, and every punter was also a DJ. Go figure.

More history rewritten, beautifully.

I did mean music from the 70's Jock and not a 70's funk scene :)

Good to see your not losing any of the sharpness though ;)

You can't call 10 grown men orbiting kebs arsehole a scene. It is what it is. 10 men orbiting kebs arsehole. 

 

theres still more than a few people after this and they are indeed for main hip hop related people rather than soul people. 

 

I don't think it's the kind if tune you can chuck 3 k at and one will fall but you can try

Think what Nev's saying is that there's a serious market for rare funk records that has nothing to do with the soul scene or soul clubs, so the fact that its not in demand by soulies doesnt mean its not in demand.

my guess is that they're rich hip hop guys.

a bunch of us on here used to use the funk45 forum back in the 90s - when funk scene was a bit more than beardy nerds in man-caves - which was ferocious in its day... and a lot of todays funkier spins were first unearthed by folks on there - adam leaver, wrighty, trouble, tommy etc

my own first swap cd on that site kicked off with ricky allen on tamboo, for example, and was around 1999 I guess.

Every little detail of northern soul history gets reported, might as well bring light to this.

anyways, good luck with the record!.

Loads of good swap CD's from that time!

so what are you saying? that no one collected funk until keb darge got on it? You're thinking of their slightly ridiculous 'deep funk scene' surely, which was much as you describe?

People were buying funk records before and after that - it was a continuation of the acid jazz scene and the people were people who came from that and hip hop.

I played funk records at a night from 94 to 2000, nothing to do with keb darge, although he did turn some good tunes up, and it was packed every week.

Ian clark made a lot of money selling funk records in the late 80s early 90s

No, what I'm alluding to is the small set who think that. What they don't get is the years before that as they for the most part were pumping puppy water in their manga DVDs or listening to grunge. 

 

10 people who know the tunes and 200 pissed up office workers isn't a scene.

Pumping puppy water in their mange DVD's?

Sounds crude, but whatever do you mean?
