yes i'm beginning to think the same - sooty sure is a "big hit for himself"

 

SOOTY, you quote - 

I do recall being the only one Nationally to spin many of the tunes I listed during the period designated....up North and down sarf....at the major Nighter venues including my own St Ives and the Maltings.what with him DJ'ing Nationally!!!

firstly, reference this quote - i doubt it, and secondly as Chalky quotes, most had probably dropped them by that time!

 

WTF - I've been on the scene a few years and NEVER heard ANYONE use such a stupid phrase as being a NATIONAL DJ

 

and yes Chalky, not one "newie" listed

 

Sooty, by "bigging yourself up" like this, you sure are leaving yourself open to negative feedback!!!

 

Things always work a little differently in Sooty's parallel universe ... crazy.gif

My memory playing up there Dave….Chris King, that's where I got the unissued version of "You and I' and the unissued Patti Jo and Tony Drake from. He had traded them on to Brady in exchange for northern oldies  :thumbsup:

Yep, didn't you also get the unissued Sound Experience - Summer girl

I've cut the rest of the quote from your post out to save some memory space for the site. I have rarely read such a load of self inflated egoist b/s in my life. Well I have actually, but only from one or two of the "heroes" you tell us we should listen to on "the doc". National DJ - do you make these terms up? 

 

I must be living in a completely different world to you, but your post is SO NOT what it's all about.

Best wishes etc...

well said Stevie G

exactly what i (and probably many others) was thinking, although if i have a few beers tonight, mines would be full of expletives and get me banned from SS.....it might be worth it

in the words of Del Boy...."what a plonker"

No he didn't have that. went through about 150 acetates, mostly released things. I got what was unissued or different mixes to released stuff. Will Hatcher You haven't seen nothing yet with a Tom Moulton booming beat and strings was another one.

Willie and The Handjives had been a big record for Ady, before Sooty started playing it and I definitely heard it played elsewhere too!

 

I remember hearing it at Blackburn (Guy's Soultown All-nighters before the Nighters run by Mick Lyons).  I picked one up around that time after hearing it, gave it the odd spin up t'north.

Listen - the majority of "northern DJ's" or people who DJ at northern events, have Dj'd all over the place from bloody Lands End to John O Groats, since the start of the scene - HOWEVER, they I have never heard one of them publicly use such a "twatish term" as "National DJ's" - maybe you use that term to impress your pals at work, but I'm afraid it doesnt impress us on here - don't you get it yet???

I did Keele a few times around the same time as The Ritz. It came from a big pile of acetates Chris King got from Jerry Ross. Many of them were Tom Moulton mixes of things. This one is a Tom Moulton mix and unrelaesed. Spoke to Tom a few years ago and sent him a sound file, he remembered doing it, his memory was that it was recorded down in Philly by a bunch of studio musicians. Was planned to add a vocal to it, but the project got canned.

thanks dave, always wanted to know the back story, any official release? it was on a bretby boot lp wasn't it?

Now then lads, if my memory serves me right, was it not Kitch and Dean Anderson that first found this on a record hunt in the States during the "new" Tracky day's.... late 80's? Don't rip me to shreds if i'm wrong Chalky, after all, it was

25 years ago :g:

 

We did find a handfull back then but had already been played (not for long though) could have been Ady but can't remember. Only thing I do remember was the place we found them was a very successful haul indeed!!

There are several on that list that cross over slightly into the decade before or after, but Butch was definitely playing it, early noughties & I thought occasionally very late 9ts, i could be mistaken though....
