Sean Hampsey Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 My Dear Fellow ..... My apologies . I can remember you coming to one of my hops at Mexborough Civic in 1979 , and telling me you were going to make an impression on the scene . Who was the first paid gig for ? not for TS in a scout hut in Louth I hope ...... Anyway , you are one of my favourite DJs ...... cheap tunes or not . Malc Burton Mate, long before my dangerous liason with TS ( ) me and John Kennedy (The MIGHTY) were doing most of our local gigs from 72 - 74 before we took over at THE CHARADE in Rotherham which I worked until 78 (if you recall). I was also running the Green Dragon in 76 - 77 and had a few thousand hours flying time behind the decks long before I came to your local Bun fight and introduced the crowd to summink decent! Happy days Old friend. Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Nocker Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi I DJ at Denton every month and I have been playing "Chris Bartley Truer words were never spoken" ( Les Hare has a demo at a tenner at King Bee), and the b side of I heard it through the grapevine, "Love Somebody" and they are at the moment two of my top sound, both get a good reaction and people up dancing. None of them cost over 6 quid, in fact i have had Marvin since I was about 17 teen!!!! I also play the odd expensive track, to my mind 50 quid is a lot, such as Big Daddy Rogers and June Jackson, I also cart Choise of Colour and Innersction around with me and play Unique Blend To me you can play a set of cheapies, and get a great reaction, really its the mix. And as someone said, some of those dearies were once cheapies Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Russ Vickers Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Another approach, just play good records, bugger the price. Totally agree & agree with all the above posts, just play good soul records that you are passionate about................a lot of the obscure lesser known cheapies are tommorows rareities once the demand is there...........likewise look at the mega rareities that have turned up in quantity over the years...........only criteria should be good danceable soul music that you have a passion for.

Guest Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 The strange thing is, people think expensive is good - that is actually never the case (sweet parsnips, it's raining so hard here on my conservatory roof I can't hear my music!). It's the perception of what 'you' think is rich as opposed to the cost of the record Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
KevH Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 They will fill the floor then ? don't stop a cheap sound,no matter who plays it, from being quality. Quality always shines thru in the end regardless of price. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Like wise, think a good balance of rare and not so rare played alongside each other is good, price is errelivant as long as the quality is still there Totally agree with that Baz, money dont come into it! think its just as satisfying playing a cheapie record that goes down well as a mega buck tune........mind you most of my records are sub £200 quid ones so ......err there you go Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 To me playing cheapies is fine, as long as the song is of Northern soul and played out some dance to it what is the problem. Some people don't have money like others there for can't afford to buy a Northern soul record. i myself might well get say £200 on my payslip for 1 month but that does not mean i will go and buy 4 records at £50. sometimes you have to be lucky and you will find a rare record cheap dad got Barabra Mills for nothing off some person he knew and now it's worth £400 according to rare record price guide.

Boogaloo Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 An interesting topic and all the more relevant as I ran "Cheap as Chips" last year at Boogaloosoul. Tunes for £50 or less. Great music from all djs and I managed to get loads of records from the playlist of the other djs. Everyone who turned up said it was a great night and refreshing to hear newer, cheaper sounds and I really enjoyed it. Even heard it got it's own thread going on an Italian northern soul forum debating the value of cheaper quality sounds....... ........HOWEVER....... it was one of the lowest attendances we had all year. Just enough to keep it busy. So perhaps it's just a good idea for a topic and not one that really gets people moving onto the dancefloor. Not all doom and gloom tho' as I'm doing another one later on in the year (probably August/Sept) and am looking for volunteers.

Sutty Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 i have to question what sort of state the northern soul scene in the UK has got itself into, when the price of records has to be pointed out at all on a night out. The whole idea of money dictating the content of a night out is pretty disc-gusting if you'll excuse the pun. the northern soul scene surely needs to take a look at itself and what it is really all about, it's a great scene of great music but if it's being dictated to by moneymen then more fool those that allow it to happen. just my opinion that's all. cheers Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Bazza Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Interesting topic! Forgive me for sounding "green", but I always thought what was in the "grooves" is what counts, not the price! Please clarify?

Only a fool would judge something on cost alone...Some of us have to search out cheap underplayed tunes because we aint got the gold card to throw at the next big tune.. Listen to your own ears and you decide what tunes you think are quality..Some of us have brains and ears and think for ourself...Others follow like sheep and end up like lemmings.... You hear some saying "its just a cheapie" ...£50 aint cheap in my book...Maybe its there way of telling you that they have lots in the bank I have met folk who are brainwashed by price alone...They are like watching paint dry...

Simon M Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) I have to say that being into Modern/All-nighter soul scene early eighties, I found the attitude from the hardcore towards the cheaper and available Modern records at Soul Bowl and Dave Raistricks similar . The phrase "No big deal" was common place However some of us got DSOF for £15 , Pro fascination £1.50 and Seville £5 Tony Troutman £2.00 ( Im sure Robin can name lots more eg Florence Vonn Trap £15 ) just records we liked and could thankfully afford "No Big deal " Time machine thread ..Im sure DSOF was £15 though .. https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15163 Edited March 7, 2007 by Simon M Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
