Yeah, one's got a red label the other has a white one

Oi you lot ! Piss off back to the Wigan thread

Says it all really Mark. The only other thing I'd add of significance to that list is that most of those names are DJs, not promoters. So they get bookings on the strength of their spot, not on the promise of a return booking by another promoter. But we have both been around long enough to know that we do it the way that sits right with our conscience, and don't worry about anyone else.

If anyone is interested I have spares of the following Kent 022 - Club Soul Kent 024 - Soul Spin Kent 025 - Soul Agent Kent 031 - Leapers Sleepers & Creepers Condition isn't mint on any, the sleeves show some signs of wear, but the vinyl itself is great. PM me with offers

Just back from Dublin last weekend, and the crowd there are clappers (It couldn't have all been Pip ) and I commented in my blog how much it adds to the atmosphere of the night.

September Sales ? Little premature with these aren't you Ian, it was still August last time I looked

Friday Niters The Wilton Burnley Saturday Niters 100 Club Jacks Jacks R & B The Marrs Bar Middleton The Aquarius Winsford Keele University Venues that have had at least one allnighter this year Bury Town Hall Rugby Soul Club There's a round dozen for you Chris without even thinking hard about it. Apologies to those I've missed because there will be loads.

Well if you're American it appears that you set it at 3 grams then you can sell any old shit to the UK. Oh no, perhaps I got it wrong, that's what he implied I was doing. There again, I'd never thought of that, but it's obviously what he does.

Sound quality on the boot is very muffled as well.

As you obviously have difficulty understanding when your input is not required, yes, a letter asking permission might be appropriate. However, you are the one who makes reference to being certified, not me.

It was played on a 3 month old turntable with 1.5 grams on the weight, and a 10 year old turntable with 1.5 grams on the weight. So when I need your advice I'll ask for it. OK

In some cases that makes no difference. I sold a record to a member on here. I scanned the label, put a full sound clip taken from the record with it as well. Graded it as VG++. They have asked for their money back because they claim it's VG-, and jumps on their equipment. I pointed out that it's their equipment at fault then because it didn't jump when I recorded it to put the sound clip on SS ! I've offered them a refund, but they will never, ever get to buy another record off me.

I guessed that was the case, but couldn't resist teasing you about it. If I'd got something that I thought was that good I'd tell people they had to turn up Friday to hear it

So if it sounds late '60s, when was it recorded ? and will it be released on the Boardwalk label ?

was that the one where I ran over by 20 minutes because the staff didn't realise the time ?

Thanks Matt, I do dance occasionally, but in all honesty haven't danced really for years because if I spend the night dancing, I have real trouble walking the next day. Johnny Weston is a regular dancer though, and you must have just not been on the same dancefloors. I'm pretty sure I've seen Cliff and Carl dancing, but not often, and have to admit I don't think I've ever seen Dave Welding dance. I do think it's essential for a DJ to have a sense of rhythm, and to understand what makes people want to dance, but it's not essential for a DJ to actually be a dancer. Remember being a dancer doesn't bestow anything special except a sweaty shirt, and I've seen some pretty awful dancers who DJ.

Of course every member of Soul Source has the opportunity to go on Mary Fox's radio show and defend themselves don't they. If Ian Levine wants to broadcast insults on radio, then admit to defrauding people, and making totally false claims in magazine interviews, when people have no right of reply through those same mediums, what right does he have to complain if people use other mediums. Yes, he discovered a lot of good records, over thirty years ago. More recently his behaviour has been an embarrassment and a disgrace. I wonder how you can admire someone who broadcasts personal insults, admits to fraud, and attempts to re-write history to show himself in a favourable light. Personally I think all these traits are despicable, your view of people obviously differs from mine.

I agree entirely,so I assume that the next issue of Manifesto will carry an apology from Ian regarding the inaccuracies he quoted regarding the Dome. After all, the whole point of this thread was about the inaccuracies in the remarks Ian made. fair's fair !!

Came out legally on the 'Emperors Of Soul' 5 CD Box set from Motown.

At the same time we had Albrighton running in the Midlands. You're right, it was a fabulous time !

From memory it was Bernie O'Brien that tried to do the Dean Courtney thing up north

That was before Matt teamed up with CSC. He tried to put Dean Courtney on (Don't think Dean Parrish had been found then), but that fell through which left him with the venue, and CS joined him. That's why it was MJ Promotions and CSC.

That's interesting because in the CSC story Alan states that the first night was 24th November 1999. Now I know I DJ'ed at the first one, and can't imagine how I have a flyer for October 1999 if that was the wrong month. I'm still convinced that the first night was the one on the flyer, October 1999. Right I've been and dug out Issue 40 of SKM. The first night was definitely the 8th October, 1999 because I wrote a review of the night and referred to it being the first one at the venue.

The colour flyer was deffo the first event at the Dome, because I was honoured to be booked for the first one, the second flyer was in between the two because the third one is for the first anniversary in November and the Christmas party in December. Now assuming I haven't mis-filed the Dome flyers by a year, the first one is October 1999, the second January 2000, and the third November / December 2000. So I think you may be wrong with your Shoreditch October 1999 date. Funnily enough I thought I'd just check to see if the website still existed. It doesn't. and the domain name is now being used as M(ichael)J(ackson)promotions.com
