Hello !!!!!!! Could you please play a request for me and the missus , Scott and Debbie Lister in Pocklington , nr York , Lenny Welch - Run to my Loving Arms - Kapp Ta,

Got the album ( sealed ) off ebay for $20.00 with the track on early this year ,had'nt heard it in years , played at local night and forgot how good it was , Used to be a £5,00 single early 80's , but recent singles ( demo) have been changing hands for good money Manship's last one sold for $175.00 Getting a lot of plays again at soul nights and radio , Hope that helps ,

Ladies / Gents, Thanks to everyone on this one who took time out to point me in the right direction , thankfully I'm now sorted , Firstly if you have never heard this track , then please do !!! It's a great underplayed 80's dancer , that is an instant floorpacker , happy memories of morecambe pier nighter , mid 80's, shuffling along with the other 3000 having a quiet night out !!!, aspiring dj's take note !!! Secondly if I advertise in the WANTS section , I DON'T have a copy for sale OR know where you can get one , think about it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could'nt agree more !!!!!! Top quality vinyl and a treasure trove of timeless brilliant dancers , but don't tell everyone !!!!

Steve, With your contacts am hopefully gonna get a result , failing that anyone wanna foster a kid !!!!!!!!!!!! Regards, Scott,

Yes Mate, I know !!!!!!!!!! But you were'nt the prat who left their album box open this morning , whilst you had a shower , when my 3yr old little girl decided to explore !!!! End result : One cracked album and one p+++d off but loving dad !!!!

Hi, Anybody got an ex / mint vinyl copy for sale ?

Had a conversation with a mate at work who thought he'd pulled a fast one by buying the Jewel Akens album " Birds & Bees " for a couple of quid in a charity shop with " My First Lonely Night " on it . He was gutted when he played it at home to discover the album track is totally different to the single . I had a similar experience a few years ago with the Bobby Freeman album " C'mon and Swim " for " I'll Never Fall in Love Again " Anybody else thought they'd struck album gold only to discover the differences , or any other one's to avoid !!!

Damm it Walls you've caught me out !!!!!! I should of added The Ringleaders c/u Audrey Slo Vernon and Jewel Get a bloody reunion sorted !!!!, there are messheads all over this country who would make it a packer , but you might need a stena stairlift for the table dancers !!!!!

Gary Sole Holdin On Knight You never bloody hear this nowadays !!!! Scott Lister Pocklington East Riding of Yrks

In these credit crunching / recession times looming , whats the quickest turnaround and biggest profit someones made on a record ? My example , two weeks ago , the missus dragged me out around the shops in a small market town near where I live, she was looking around a clothes shop and I was waiting outside with the little un when I noticed a box of lp's outside the local charity shop , the temptation was too much and after 5 mins of going through every hymm and classical album there was , found Frank Dell ,Yesterdays People album , in ex con ,which I already had , it was then bought for £1.90 and later sold this week for £60.00 . Not a bad find , but I bet mine's miniscule compared to some , so lets hear them ,

Bobby Sheen Sweet Sweet Love - B side of Dr Love Capital So good and yet so underplayed !!! Scott Lister Pocklington East Riding of Yrks

Had just joined the army and was posted to Aldershot 90 - 93 , apart from trips into London for the 100 club , I went to the Blue Lagoon a few times , absolutely cracking night !! First night I walked in , Keb Darge was on the decks and kicked off with Bari Track , magical !!!!

Oh dear

Silhouettes 45 - Not Me Baby - Goodway - value £ 800 - £ 900 Bought album with track on £50 ! ,same label / record ! Happy days !

Ladies / Gents , Whilst we're all on a nostalgia roll re Shotts and the importance it played in the Scottish Soul Scene , could we please have a scrum down regarding the nighter that really got me into this mess and a lot of you in the first place !!! Comimg from Falkirk my trip to Glenrothes on a Sat night was easy compared to some , bus at 5.30pm from Larbert ,after finishing work at 5pm , got me into Glenrothes town at 8pm , after going round every bloody village in Fife , then straight to bar at Bowling Alley to meet up with the rest . Sun morn not so easy as bus not till 10am , or cadge a lift back with Edinburgh lot. Alan and Steve Walls were fantastic in their choice of sounds / venue / and rosta of dj's , Keb , Colin Law ,Jim Tennent , Jock , Guy , etc ... as well as a host of new talent and their dj debuts , keeping a mix of newies / modern sounds and oldies alike which paved the way for the scottish scene to follow I have still never, in 25 yrs been to a nighter or soul night where people danced on the tables without being kicked out !!!! Top Five Sounds for me of that Time : Larry Davis - I've Been Hurt So Many Times Oliver Norman - Drowning in My Own Despair Checkmates -Mastered The Art Of Love Ray Pollard - Wanderlust Willie Small - How High Can You Fly Over to you lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brenton Wood - Gimme Little Sign Trampps - Hold Back The Night Brothers Johnson - Stomp LAST RIDE , LAST RIDE , SCREAM IF YA WANNA GO FASTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little bit sad !! When she started splitting with " Texas " a few years ago ,she was obviously hanging out with a new in crowd , as I remember her name dropping in an interview Marvin Gaye " Love Starved Heart " as her current fave record at the moment !!! Bearing in mind this was prime time teeny sat morning tv , the presenter and of course the onlookers , ( average age 13 yrs ) were like , who and what ? !!!! Don't get me wrong , lovely girl and great voice / songstress , and a marvellous ambassador for scotland , but I'm fed up with the celeb cash in , so in the immortal words of Harry Starr " Another Time , Another Place " !!!

I went to an allnighter in Newcastle , about 87 , I think it was a one off in the end , but on the door they were dishing out membership cards , orange in colour with " Soul Explosion " across it , any takers on this one or is dimentia already upon me !!!

Donn Thomas - How Can I help But Love You - Memories of Morecambe Pier !!!!!!!!!!

Tommy Frontera - You're My Leading Lady Gino - Paper Moon Italiano magnifico !!!

Very interesting reading and here's my story : Grew up in Falkirk , Scotland and got into the scene via my mates big brother , ( when you've got a 20yr old trying to " come down " in his bedroom after a night at wigan and two 13 yr olds playing his newly bought records at high volume mid afternoon , it ain't happening !!!!! ) Started properly on the scene at Crown Hotel , Thornton , then regular from start at Glenrothes YMCA , until end , before the move to Shotts /Allanton Ruff Cut Soul Club . Memories of these " hazy " days to numerous to mention !!! But stand out points have to be in no particular order , Keb playing the Fabulous Impacts ( Moments ) 5 times in one spot at Glenrothes 1st Annv ,with the immortal words " Stomp you bast****s " Bus to Morecambe with Edinburgh lot , 3rd Annv at Central Pier , put nighter bag on coach floor only to discover soaked when got there due to back of bus having a piss ! Record bar at Shotts , great records , great mates, greater prices at that time !!! and in winter you really felt those bogs !!!! The whole scene in scotland was at it's best at that time with the quality of dj's and their set of records , Colin Law , The Walls brothers , Mark Linton , Andy Dennison ( Hi Andy, it's Scott Lister ) and Jock O' Connor , pure class !!! Shotts for the music , the dj's , the people who travelled month in / out and the friendliness wins it all folks , hands down !!!
