Interesting that there are some venues that run different nights, by different promoters, quite successfully, at the same venue.

Reduced by £22 for a quick sale

Still in the box, no scratches, marks, or damage of any sort. Vodafone linked, but so easy to get them unlocked these days. Treat yourself for Christmas £108 including Special Delivery post to the UK. PM for any other details you need.

I think you've got all of those in your parcel.

I have copies of the following magazines left Normal issues: 66, 67, 68, 71, 72 Discography Specials: 2 (1 left), 5, Atlantic/Atco, Artist discogs 2, Detroit (1 left)

Sorry, no spare books, they have long gone.

Any more takers?

Just a quick bump for this, still got a huge pile left, even though I've parcelled 55 up today. If it helps, postage for five copies is £3.00

I have a huge pile of various back issues, and I really need the space. So, rather than throw them out, I'd like to give them away, to anyone that wants copies. All you have to do is pay the postage. Here's the deal: You tell me which copies you are missing, or would like, I'll let you know which ones I have, and how much the postage will be. Can't say fairer than that can I ! Merry Christmas

Because it's an allnighter planner, not a mini niter planner.

Hmmm, good comeback ! Ok, I'll have a think. Phew ! Glad that's over. The point I was making was that I can happily drink all night without drinking to excess and getting drunk. It's not a question of volume, it's a question of pacing what you do drink

What car, I don't drive ! Smartarse.

That's not the answer though Steve. You saw me at Radcliffe, I'd been drinking all night, (and was quite put out when they closed the bar at 5am, mostly because I didn't know it was closing and didn't have a drink left.) Yet I think you'll agree I wasn't causing any trouble, fighting, falling down drunk. In fact people see me at niters all over the country, where I drink as long as the bar is open, and I bet nobody can recall an occasion where I've been falling down drunk.(Yes I know, I've just invited all the piss takers to come up with horror stories from my past ) So why should I be penalised because of the actions of a few people (and it is a few) who cannot control their drinking. I'm not saying I'd stop attending, but it would make me think twice about travelling across the country if I couldn't get a drink at the other end (Especially after the nightmare journey I had getting to Radcliffe). So it's not the answer. The answer is that the promoter has to be responsible for all ticket sales, and the venue has to be 'policed' properly, by registered security staff, preferably off the scene. As a final note, I'd say if someone who was left handed caused trouble, would you ban all left handed people from a venue ?

Quick one for all promoters. You can get your dates added to the planner simply by sending me a PM here on Soul Source. I'm currently adding dates for 2015 & 2016 Only proper allnighters or weekenders though, none of these mini niter things finishing at 4am will be added.

I've got a Crosley, and it doesn't cause any damage at all that I can see or hear on Styrene. Following your post I thought I'd try playing the same styrene record ten times to see if I could replicate the damage. Nope, not a mark, or deterioration in sound. Perhaps you just got one with a duff needle ?

The lineup is on the group discography on my site. Click on the link below my name

Nope, couldn't use "Soul" either, because that is also trademarked. You'd have to use 'Music Of Black Origin'....Ah ! bit of a problem there as well.

And that's what decent DJs have been doing for the last twenty years, buying originals that mean they can do a good spot. The top DJs in the country haven't suddenly appeared from nowhere, they have spent years of time and hard earned money buying the records they use to DJ What they haven't been doing is buying a box of bootlegs and claiming to be a DJ.

It's simple, if you don't put any bootlegs / reissues in your DJ box, you can't play any when you DJ.

"says Elaine, who co-wrote a book called Northern Soul released in 2013 by Random House, and whose new book with Gareth Sweeney, Northern Soul: An Illustrated History is out now through Ebury Publishing." Am I missing something here, or is this saying that there are two books written by Elaine ?

Come on, this is Wigan, they would have had a pie and a cuppa tea

Yep, that's what I was asked to do it for. Without going and looking I also said that the breakdown of venues pre Wigan to post Wigan was about a 35% to 65% split, ie the post Wigan venues were more prominent in the timeline given that Wigan closed in 1981 , and it's now 2014. I let Glenn Gunton have the info a couple of months ago, so don't actually know where they were up to with the liner notes / booklet for the 'Odessey' release.

I've been clearing out the loft and came across this patch from the Carlton Club in Warrington. I know it's a rare one, because you simply never see them. So, does anyone want to make me an offer ? I'll keep it on here until Sunday night then it'll go on ebay. Sorry about the crap photo
