... Dig out your old vest and ruperts for work the next day.... I can picture it now mate...

This is gonna be one monster thread... Keep calm and KTF...i

I am singing the precisions in my head pitched down, sounds ok,ha ha.. Working away and can't do the test at home.. Can anyone play it pitched down and let us all know what they think???/

..... A very good point well made...

Maybe pitching is like fracking... You will get those for and against..... Can we have some pitchers viewpoints please.. I know these beasts are lurking on here

Interesting point Pete... I had a chat with Belgium popcorn guys when they played in Manchester a few years ago, i remember the comments about certain tunes played too fast and they would pitch them down.....

Its like selling a family member, it can hurt so bad.... Send us sneak preview of your sales please Richard , before you post it to the hawks....

You aint alone mate, would like to hear a good example if any can post them???... I have heard some RnB/ popcorn given the treatment and they sound ok on 1st listen... I guess its when i hear a sound that i really love being distorted in some way that i turn into the Hulk

Its like taking a book i love and changing the structure/ flow, changing the very thing that makes it so special to me.... Maybe there is an example of pitching up or down that really works, not sure as i have never done it myself....

How many times do i go to listen to a tune on youtube and find that some clown as downloaded the track pitched up.... When its a deeper track/ ballad it can sound so f"cking wrong... Do they think they are clever or trying to turn it into more of a dancer, maybe some trying to sell it as such.... I know we have the pitching going on with certain tracks but leave these great soul ballads alone please.... Here is an example of one of my fav tunes.... Maybe they have a player that plays it a touch fast... Let me know your thoughts.. Maybe there are folk who like the pitched up version.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZhTyfyAMtU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgNGuXl92fI

I guess the same can be said for so many of us who came onto the scene early 80s... Our respect indeed.... Our introduction to real soul music like this.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZhTyfyAMtU

I have never asked any of my guest DJs to post playlists over the years, some have done by choice..I can see both sides of the coin on this, some lazy feckers trawling playlists to cherry pick tunes... Some folk just curious and like to see playlists... Some post and others don't, no pleading on here will change that..

Tough tough call.. Lets say... Bettye Lavette and O V Wright next Linda Jones and Syl Johnson... plus... Aretha and Jerry Butler.. happy with that lot.... :hatsoff2: :hatsoff2: :hatsoff2:

Sorry Jim Kev is in Abu Dhabi and not Dubai....... Sorry for any confusion.... All the best Steve

One of my fav Jerry Butler tracks and really under the radar it seems... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZH_N3vqsc0

Nothing better than getting caught out and blown away by something new, what a feeling indeed and something that happens to me often.... Been a massive Jerry Butler fan many moons and that track Ady is something very special in my life... One day i was round a mates house and on comes another version, new to my ears,it blew me away, never thought anything could come near my beloved Jerry...... A special track indeed and i am always happy to play or hear either version.... edit.... Just seen the track posted above about the same tune.... That man Pinch as great taste indeed.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-W-SBywiOk

My mate Kev Mcardle talked of this place i think.... He is out there.. Good luck with it all..

Good exposure for a certain BRAND of Northern Soul I will be washing my hair or changing the cat litter tray...

Quite a valid question indeed as i have a good number of younger mates both male and female getting into collecting.. Dekka....Go for a walk, get some fresh air, you need it with that rant....

5 years is a long time.. Now you are an old boot simples... x A topic of interest indeed with many good points....

I would like to see KTF granny sporting black fist on the knickers as a model in the windows.... That would start a LANDSLIDE...

No more talk of cd's.. This topic is about DJs.... Now where is my tin hat, ha ha..

And substance abuse while behind the decks, maybe that's best left alone.... whatabout playing the wrong side but you pretend you meant it..... All niter in front of 400 people, stopped the music to say " this next track is for my wife, then played the slip mat, ha ha.. Then the record kicked in " I then played " one night affair"... oops...

....wise words you big girl..

.. Ha ha.. The perfume to go with them ladies knickers with a black fist on them, the type on sale at weekenders on the tat stalls...... Back on topic.... As the song says " dancing is a part of life"... Quite a large part for me over the years..
