Mil Evans always brings a smile to my already smiling face .... a great tune me thinks

Never noticed that till i read your post .....

Half hour spots work really well at Soul or Nothing .... keeps things ... dare i say it ... progressing along nicely sorry couldn't resist that one! I really like it .... seems to give the night an energy .... and sits well with both the DJs and the dancers. ... at Soul or Nothing anyway

Has he heard this version by 4 Tops & Supremes on the Dynamite Lp? Thousand times better imo. In fact the last 3 tracks on side two are great

I think that's great .... can just imagine someone sat there with the book checking to see who's 'naff' and who's not! May even be someone out there who would know from memory .... now how sad would that be! Brilliant stuff

I thought this was what it meant ... i have the book. So it's one man's opinion on what he thinks the Top 500 records should be? And that's ok? I'm sorry but they're definitely not my Top 500 ....

Can i ask again ..... What are the 'Top 500' you keep going on about ..... and who decided they were?

I'm sorry Neil old boy .... it's the blonde in me ..... you lost me somewhere around the word 'agree' ....

The top 500? What are they ... and who decided that they were....?

The term 'progressive' as regards the soul scene to me means that the scene is moving forward ... playing different sounds, new to some ... known to others, as opposed to standing still ... in the same old rut of the same old records. That to me is just like going to the cinema every week .... and watching the same film ... every single week. EVERY record was a NEW record the FIRST time you heard it .... every single one.

..... nothing makes me think of Led Zepplin or Frank Zappa i'm afraid .... apart from you ... now

Agree with you .... it's really quite good ..... don't understand your bit about Paul though .... but then again i'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer at the best of times ...

Hi Russ, Survived another one then i see ... great to see you as always! ... and yes you are quite right .... just proper one's to me too ..... the mental bit is me

Yes ..... I think you are having a bit of a lucid moment Jock ... in fact Carl Fortnum played it Saturday night ... absolutely fantastic

Can't you tell that i've just figured out how to do this ...... here's another ...

Another one full of mayhem ..... Vanguards - Thought of Losing Your Love - Lamp. This blokes voice just blows you over .... check the drummer out ....

Soul City - Cold Hearted Blues - Goodtime ..... definitley mental ..... and a bit good ..

I got mine for a tenner around 18 years ago ..... and sold it to Guy Hennigan a couple of years later ..... for a tenner. I'm staggered when records like this go for this kind of money ..... not to mention pig sick!!

Remember Keb playing it at Stafford .... not heard it for years though .... brings back some memories

AND HERE

Know Sid well Jane .... do you want me to have a word with him for ya ....

I understand what you're saying ... i too have had some top nights where the music hasn't been exactly to my taste ... but that's because of the company i've been in .... not because of what's being played. Thank God for good mates in those situations. At the end of the day .... it's the music i go for first and foremost ...... without doubt! And with all the will in the world .... there's only so much even the funniest mates can do to alleviate the agony of poor records. As for playlists BEFORE a spot ..... NOT ON YOUR NINNIE ..... NO WAY ..... NEVER ..... ABSOLUTELY NOT !! Every night is different ..... and you adapt what you play accordingly .... AS YOUR PLAYING THEM ..... not the week before

I would say they are definitely a good thing. And YES i would travel to go to a venue if they played the kind of stuff i liked ..... and NO i wouldn't if they didn't. Can't see how posting a playlist can be a bad thing ..... i love reading play lists ..... so a big from me

Josephine Taylor it is .... but i'm sure it's an unissued thing. I do know Mark Bicknell used to spin this years ago .... over to you Mark ...
