Yeah saw him at Dunstable too... but that night at Manchester was just incredible. It was just really 'personal'... if you know what i mean... you'll know what i mean Chalky... hard to put into words. The bit during Cool Off where he says... "by the way... does anybody over there.. have a drink of ... pop?"... can still see John Hodge running up to the stage in his sheepie to give him a can of coke! Just brill! Will be happy to do copies for anyone who would like one... just pm me where you would like it sending and i will get them off asap

I have a tape of Popcorn Wylie live at Manchester International 1986 (i think). I tell you... i have seen Popcorn Wylie on quite a few occaisions... always a top act... but this nite was incredible!! He does everything... Down in the Dumps... Sweet Darlin... I'm saving my lovin... If it's all the same to you... Cool Off... but when he does Hanky Panky... woooh .. completely blows you away! He's dead talkative too.. telling you when he wrote and recorded stuff... talks about Tony Hester.. it's great.... one of my most treasured tapes ever. Can put it on cd if anyone would like one...(as long as i'm not comitting some major crime in doing so)... just let me know

Female record collectors... let me see.... Well I've been on the scene for around 25 years or so... collected records for a good 20 of those years.... oh... and I'm female... well.. sort of.. Anyway... here's what i think about women on the scene... niters.. collecting.. DJing etc... Ok... there will always be certain situations in life where a man will be able to do something better than a woman... Men are stronger than women are (as a rule) and will therefore be better at things that require physical strength... Record collecting... however... is not one of them. Thinking about it... apart from the strength thing... i can only think of one thing that men do better than women... and that is their ability to have a piss standing up! To be taken seriously on this scene... respected for your knowledge... your records... and your passion and love for soul music has never been easy... whether you are male or female. I have had one major name DJ/record dealer shut his box on me saying "a mans got to do what a mans got to do" and to "run along and get myself a part time job in a patisserie"... wtf? Surprisingly I chose to ignore that little 24-carat nugget of testosterone induced wisdom. There is an old saying... respect needs to be earned... and boy, this applies to the soul scene like no other. But as long as YOU know that you have soul... that you love soul... that you are dedicated, genuine and humble... have respect for others... but most of all for yourself... then NOBODY can say you shouldn't be on the soul scene... or collecting records... or DJing... if that's what you want to do. Least of all some jumped up gimp sat behind a record box... with his head so far up his own arse he can brush his back teeth. Most record dealers... I am happy to say... are not like that. Male ... Female... what does it matter... it's what's in your boxes not in your boxers that counts! You'll be saying records by female artists have no place on the scene next...

Not my fault mate... i was only trying to help!!

Well it's that time of week again... and as it's Edinburgh tomorrow night for Bumping and Stomping... no point in pussy footing around is there

I would say £100 & £50 were well cheap ... fantastic record! One of the price guides lists Vikki Styles at £50... when was the last time you saw one at £50... or at a higher price? Can't get it right all of the time. PS: How does the middle of next week suit you?

.... i could never sell this .... what a record!!

What about Vikki Sorry fella... couldn't resist

It's listed in the big book at £250. I got mine of ebay for £30 about 6 months ago

I think it's great... just love it!! Been trying to post a clip.. but it won't let me... wonder if it's because it's not Friday Will try later.

I must say i've always found it's had a good dancefloor reaction.. Floor was really busy when i played it at 100 club last month... depends where you play it i suppose.

Play this out every chance i get.... great tune

Phew.... it's a good job i'm already sitting down.... came over all hot and flustered just reading that lot ..... any chance of me borrowing a fiver Eduard

.....You're joking right?.... course you're joking..

I think you'll find what you actually said was.. and i quote...... "Trouble is, now I've heard it, I'm not keen on it at all." followed by a Think you'll find there's a subtle difference there too Phil. Anyway... Quinvys Cheap as Chips... what do you reckon... or wouldn't you be seen dead in there!

First heard this around 20 years ago on a Duncan Morris tape... anyone remember him? Great tune... Alex Jones gives it a spin every once in a while... TIP TOP ps: Is that Carl Underwood on your avatar Phil... thought you said it was crap!

Sorry... Mod Art

I've had absolutely no problem dancing to this when i've heard it played out.... the beat's fine... it's me that's all over the place!!

There ya go Phil... even better!!

Paid £100 for mine... have seen it go for more.. and a little less... TOP TUNE

.... For a music site you would think there'd be someone interested wouldn't you...

Hi Drew... could i be a cheeky cow and have a copy too if you find it please... had mine nicked. I'll pay you of course

Well it's Friday at last!! Was playing some tunes last night instead of reading up on 18th century glass... can't for the life of me think why Anyway.... this sounded great!........ still not sussed how to add clip into this post yet... so post #2 it'll have to be...
