Re Activisation Of Oldies

[Ezzie Brown]

what is the point of announcing a re activisation of an oldie? has the dj or djs in question got nothing new? or have they a box full of the record being activated?? its no bother 2 me i would never buy such a thing, unless i liked it and had not heard it previously.am interested in the logic behind the great fuss attending the playing of oldies we all know!!!! ezzie apologies if this has been discussed before!!!!!!!

[Russ Vickers]

I think it all depends on how much recent exposure the 'reactivated' disc has had, there are hundreds of records that were played for a few weeks or months back in the day at different venues that have never really been played again, so for all intensive purposes, to most on today's scene they are almost like recent discoveries........of course this is only my opinion & im a great advocate of spinning new material, but the pool of totally unknown records is getting smaller by the day, so it makes sense to dig back into the distant past for things.

There were also & still are regional spins, a record that could be quite familiar to say the South Coast soulies, but could be relatively unknown or unplayed else where.

When it doesnt make sense is when its a top 500 regular oldie spin that we all know anyway.

There are some truly wonderful records that haven't been played for years, that even those you thought would know actually don't,

I'm getting tremendous satisfaction from playing...

Here I am - The Secrets

Stop Look and Listen - The Intros

You can't dress up a broken Heart - The Loveables

Please Leave Me - Drake and the Ensolids

Interesting stuff, The Secrets & Bobby Paterson i don't know at all, the other three i've heard played out a fair few times so for me they wouldn't be reactivations.

As Russ says, s'pose it depends what part of the country you're from & also how much time you've spent on the scene.

got the secrets, i think, ..feel free to re activate...then i can sell it!!!!!!!!!! points taken thuogh ,ive had people look at my oldies and not know any much to my suprise, but with 25 years out myself , im a bit streched half the time!!!!!shows the vast pool of material mined thus far.

[Chalky]

there's plenty of good forgotten oldies out there, plenty that had very little exposure in the first place.

hi ezzie

ive spent 20 years of collecting forgotten wigan casino spins and there are 100s that never get played and ARE good too!

more recently ive been doing the same with mecca oldies too hence my leanings towards 70s at the moment

but as some are so old and forgotten they still seem new and take an equal time to 'break' as a newie

plus its great fun too!

[Guest Bearsy]

I HAVENT HAD MUCH EXPOSURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

There are loads out there and they should be getting spins instead of the same old same old but its records for venues too and some places the punters only want to hear all the classics they know but the Dj should drop a couple of lesser knowns in surely, its a case for some to dig deep in their collections or just get out there listening and looking for them,

Ezzie i dont often expose but this is for you

[Simon M]

Imaginative use of oldies has to be a big part of the scene now!! . I don't understand why people say they are re-activating a top 500 oldie like James Fountain ,The Crow or the Salavadors perhaps JT or Steve G can explain,?

ps. Bearsy where did you get that from

this gets nearer to the point of my post!!!!!!!!!

[22ndsoul]

There are loads of little known and underplayed oldies,a lot were only played at one venue for a matter of weeks, and if you travelled around the country to different venues it would be mostly new to you.It's great to see small venues like the Attic Mansfield giving these records well deserved spins again.

[Guest Bearsy]

hi mate, was that u talking to me and karen outside at the end of lifeline...when i was lifeless??????????

Possibly Ezzie, i was a bit lifeless meself by then bloody great night of music too, current biggies which you want to hear and loads of stuff i didnt know and wanted to hear, that can relate to this thread really cos that night proved to me that reactivation of oldies dont have to be ones that we already know,

[Guest WPaulVanDyk]

it's nice to hear oldies again that not been spun for years.

My dad always say in this part of the country you never hear Apple peaches pumpkin pie and i guess like many it's been played too much before so they fed up with it

but i would love to hear Higher and Higher played out cause i def don't hear it although i know it and everyone does it's just a classic to me but all you hear is same old Jackie Wilson songs but knowing i would get slaughted now i bet wanting to hear the song out

This is a good point and sums it all up.

One man's overplayed oldie, is another persons underplayed oldie.

It depends where you live, where you go, your age, where you went in the past and so on.

However, underplayed oldies sound far better to me than a new record that honestly just wouldn't have been played 10 -15 -20 etc years ago.

spot on for me too, as im quite new and mostly been doing soul nights etc down and around the South East/London area i seem to know every track everywhere i go but i have started to go further up the country and now im hardly hearing anything i hear or know down this way, its as if everone knows whats doing the business in a certain area and all the djs jump on the popular tunes and its starting to get too familiar but when you go to another area im finding that its a complete different loads of tunes getting played and its bloody refreshing to hear for me but to some that go out in that area all the time thats what they have had to listen mainly cos thats whats popular for that area at that time, so i reccomend going right out of your area and try somewhere new and then you will here tunes you either might not know or aint heard for ages, either that or stay in and be bored or go to your local same as same as venues and keep moaning about whats being played all the time, me im doing both so ima happy chappy

[Spacehopper]

all good points....in the 80s i was in norwich now im in bristol some friends havnt heard tunes that were huge back then for me and vice versa some of their faves from back then ive never heard...

new discoveries are always great especially as a collector aswell as dj/dancer but shouldnt be played out just because they are new.. they should be of the same quality of the tune they are replacing...would rather have a night of known killers than a night of unknown fillers to be honest !....

Got to agree with this

Surely great tunes are great tunes - it's mainly down to NS politics and DJ snobbery I reckon that certain tunes stop getting spins.

I don't DJ, but if I did, I'd have no problems at all in playing some tunes that are considered "played out" - funny thing is I have been to soul nights very recently where I have heard "The Night", "Landslide", "Sliced Tomatoes", "Heatwave" and even horror of horrors "Do I love You" played AND the floor stayed full each time!

The thing is once a great tune always a great tune. It seems that a lot of DJs are going for this "Rare soul" niche and have got into a national p*ssing contest to see who can play a whole set without anyone recognising any of the tunes rather than entertaining the crowd!

Stop being snobs and rifle through your boxes and crack out some oldies - they'll always be better than that modern soul/disco shite anyway

[Pete S]

"Landslide"

What a record this is...and I don't think I've heard it played out since the 70's

Edited November 14, 2007 by Pete S

[Guest soul99 easylay]

What a record this is...and I don't think I've heard it played out since the 70's

It took a hell of lot of badgering the DJ until he finally caved in - but all my hard work was worth it

This just goes to prove the point that there really shouldn't be such a thing as "played out", because there is so much to chose from!

[Guest SteveC]

It seems that a lot of DJs are going for this "Rare soul" niche

Funny old thing that

I think what has happenned over the last 20 odd years is that DJ's and serious soul fans have yearned for just that "soul" music which in essence is what it originally was all about. I too enjoy the 4 beats to the bar white and white sounding classics that were made legendary at Wigan but why oh why is it so bad to play stuff that no ones heard - even if its all nite long and especially if its soul. Just think all these sounds would have had to been played for the 1st time at one point

Don't get me wrong - i love to hear a reactivation but like i've said before it doesn't just depend where you go or what part of the country you're in but who's playing it i.e Butch playing Hold on help is on the way - G Davis/R Tyler at Jacks - would it have been accepted if anyone else had played it ?????

[Steve G]

Imaginative use of oldies has to be a big part of the scene now!! . I don't understand why people say they are re-activating a top 500 oldie like James Fountain ,The Crow or the Salavadors perhaps JT or Steve G can explain,?

ps. Bearsy where did you get that from

Well the Salvadors has been hammered to death. As for JF, I did reactivate this briefly down here, because it wasn't being played anywhere round here. It might well be top 500, but at the local do's it wasn't even in the top 5,000. As for The Crow, you'd have to ask Mick Smith about that Think Keb started that one off again anyway.

[scunnyjack]

Thanks Ricky, that's a good dancer/tune, wouldn't be overly disappointed to hear it played out.

Simon

Got the single,the other side is another fine tune-What a wonderfull night for love- which i have heard played in recent months.

What about Clara Ward-The right direction,Dottie Cambridge-Cry your eyes out, Ad-Libs-Nothing's worse than being alone,

Jackie Moore-Both ends against the middle, Ive Got to have all of your love-Mill Evans to name a few more that i have not heard at venues i have been to for years.

[Guest soul99 easylay]

....but why oh why is it so bad to play stuff that no ones heard - even if its all nite long and especially if its soul.

That's my point! I'm absoloutely fine and dandy hearing new stuff, but the problem is, that it's become the emperor's new clothes, in as much as, it's got to the point where any old shite can get played because it's newly discovered shite that no one's ever heard of and it's simply getting played because it's "soul". So it's got to where there isn't a quality control on any tunes.

A nice happy medium would be a mix surely?

a mix of oldies and newly discovered stuff that is, not a mix of good and shite

[Guest SteveC]

Have to a agree to disagree simply by the fact governed by my well known golden rule "nothings shite, it's just not to your taste". There are, however, a few exceptions

[Guest Bearsy]

but everyone knows the top 500 Bearsy , so how can you re-activate those tunes

fook it there goes my theory Simon, best i do what you did then and go and buy a load of disco and try to pass it off as soul

[Simon M]

Thats just the point Simon, i dont want to be like everyone else (no chance of that ), im my own man with my own taste and not someone that buys to play for other people but for myself, im sick and tired of telling you this Simon, Be your own man for once

Its so easy to do what everyone else is doing and if that was the case 6 djs could turn up and all play out of the same box, discovering new or old and its about hearing quality stuff thats been forgotten or not found before, not for everyone but for plenty of soulies out there crying out to hear something a bit different from the top 500,

thats the title of the thread "reactivation"

[Guest outonthefloor]

maybe I'm not qualified to comment but aint DJ's supposed to play for the people who paid to get in?

As you know I've always enjoyed your sets Bearsey so i'ts not a dig at u but I do think sometimes DJ's should pay more attention to the floor and less attention to who has the rarest set.

I'm all for reactivatin oldies if you truely aint heard them for ages. There's nothing like it when a tune come on that hits you right between the eyes n takes u right back to your youth but trouble is as someone else said it depends where you go.

A tune can get played out loads up north but u never hear it played out down south. How many times you heard..'Thats an old 100 club tune' or..'Thats an old Stafford tune'

I think if you can get out and travel around a bit you will hear a variety of oldies and then this has a knock on effect as DJ's will pick em up and play em at their own nites.

Sometimes a dj will say ..'this just dont get played anymore' and i think ...I heard that just last week!!!

Nowt wrong with reactivation - shouldn't it be obvious that not everyone knows everything that's played!?

Not everyone has had the chance to be there as long as others.

I know its not a dig at me Helen , what i was trying to saying was, i buy records that i like for me first and formost, then if i get asked to dj i have to have faith in my taste and try to judge and play to the floor with the tunes i bought for me, still with me you see i dont buy a tune i dont like but i know it will fill the dance floor (not anymore anyway ), thats what i was meaning but you have made me explain myself more now You know me Helen and i do always try and play for the floor and i aint afraid to chuck in the unexpected even though there is a chance it could bomb, if it bombs it bombs but you got to give a few tunes a chance in a set but i wouldnt go down a certain road of playing up me arse if the floor was empty but i wouldnt play safe either (hopefully not anymore either), i do try and mix it up a bit but then it depends on where you dj too, different venues different style of tunes expected,

I know where your coming from though cos ive heard djs do a set with their backs to the dance floor and played the wrong tunes for the venue and didnt give a shit, do you play modern at an oldies night or oldies at a rare soul night or rare 60s at a modern night

but no matter where you go its great to hear some tunes that are either forgotten or unheard before well it is if you like them anyway,

see you Saturday Norma

Get your dictionary out & look up Northern Soul........you'll realise then that the whole point of the original scene was/is to find new tunes to play..........gets harder, thats why reactivations of interesting oldies is so vital too these day's. I dont think anyone is saying that the top 500 for want of a better expression, arnt on the whole good records, but do you really want to hear them out every week, to me this isnt a Northern Soul scene as it goes against every ethic, that the original pioneer DJ's & yes those at Wigan & all the venues from the 'golden era' were trying to acheive, along with some very hard working DJ's these day's. I have no problem with anyone wanting to listen to Frank Wilson until they are sick, but pse dont fob me off with venues playing this & the like constantly, as being the 'real' NS venues..............stay in ya time warp guys, I'll come & visit once a year & have a thoroughly good time, but the rest of the time i'll stick to the genuine article thank you . BTW 'Rare Soul Shite' was what this wonderful music of ours was known as prioir to the term NS, some on the scene prefer this term so as not to be asscotiated with what the rest of the world think is NS .

Keep the Faith....Okeh

Russ

[Guest outonthefloor]

I think I've said it before on here but It's great to go out and hear a mixture of tunes from Favourite oldies to reactivated oldies to rare underplayed oldies...even dare i say it a bita modern

I think it's all about striking a balance. It's great to hear a really familiar tune that makes you feel all warm n fuzzy but i also love the excitement of hearing a tune for the first time n then rushing around asking people 'whats this..who's it by..aint it great...' In the old days i used to carry a note pad around wiv me and write down the new tunes i hadn't heard before, now i put them on me phone so i dont forget to look em up wen i get home.

If you went to see the Who and they didn't play 'Substitue' or 'My generation' ud be disappointed wouldn't u? (ok even if it's not ur musical genre u know what i mean) Why did we go to the forum to see Mary Love, Tommy Hunt, The flirtation..etc etc..It wozn't coz we wanted to hear all their new numbers and yet unrecorded ones woz it?

My plea to DJ's is mix it up a bit, a nice balance of rare n familiar will always get the party started.

Hi Simon.

I can remember being at the Blackpool weekender where Bobby played. Sure you were there sat on the table with a load of the Irish guys too.
