The one that always has me reaching for the sick bag is Jan Jones 'Independent Woman'. Yuk.

Outstanding 7ts. Always in my playbox. 'Want you so much' was a goodie too.

thanks karl thats about what I was thinking......

Rappers Unlimited - Nighttime Plaything - RAP ta! steve

love to hear these, nice 1. We started a couple 2 or 3 years ago but couldn't be arsed in the end! steve

Hey welcome to the new Cleethorpes Beachcomber All-Dayers!! With a good few new releases chucked into the mix, what we had was a great big melting pot! It's the only way IMHO Steve

Hi Barry I'm with the positive crew on this. Liked it, nice 1. You re-hashed any more?? Steve

one out of a hundred

Just picked one up last week for £30. CHOOOOON!!!! (IMHO) Steve

40, 50, 60? Who knows? A nominal 60 squids worth of pure quality I reckon. Or 30, or 40....etc Hey all it needs is one of the (cue dramatic little cough to clear throat) 'elite' to start re-playing it and reclaim JT's 'sole djing rights' and it'll be 600!! CHOOOOOON!!! It's just a great record IMHO, of course....... steve

Aye mine's on Paramount, it's got a sweet li'l x-over b side too, 'Goodness Gracious'. Worth a punt all round really! Steve

Arthur Crier was the producer Pete

Yeah and if anybody knows who can return to me my copy of Justin stolen out of my box at Doncaster 6 or 7 years ago then, as the Brothers Of Soul said "I'd Be Greatful". Cheers, and hopefully (because I'm sure it must have been a 'mistake' and not deliberate....) Steve

Karen, me & Louby are going down Saturday and need somewhere. We could take saturday night off your hands.... And Tats, no!!! Before you ask, it's only a double bed and you can't bunk down with us Steve

Best play The Snake or Frank Wilson then Sebastian. They'll know them.......... How about playing it in your set twice (or even thrice (if thats a word)) , then they'll have remembered it from the first time and you can cut out the 'listening to it at home' middle man . Go on! Be brave!! Steve

Tunes which I can genuinely remember getting the tear ducts working overtime........ Sunshine - Coming Home To An Empty House. Wrong tune at the wrong time. Freddie Scott - Mr Heartache - Freddie shared a chasm of emptyness with me just when I needed him. Carla Thomas - I'll never stop loving you - Ady playing this towards the end of a 100 club anniversary set me off for some reason. It all just seemed to come together at that point, in that place.... Cut me and I bleed...... (or summat) Pass the tissues Steve

James I think this is what Sam's been doing for years? People may love his sets, or not (personally I love them), but he's always got that battered sales box out wheeling and dealing! (and always very fairly IMO). Top guy and the top 'proper' DJ on the scene I reckon. The right attitude to both the dancefloor and to his tunes IMHO (and not bad on a pension, as he often says! ). Then again, as I said (tongue firmly in cheek) to him at Prestatyn, I don't need to go and hear him out so much nowadays as there's always some other cheeky monkey out there trying to play his spot anyway...... And maybe that's why the 'ultimate hot-box' idea could ultimately fail. Everyone would end up chasing the same tunes (maybe we all are anyway?). Using your footy analogy, the team with the most cash would, in the long run, probably come out on top even though, at their heart, they've got no 'feel' for our beautiful game. Look at Abramovich... Football fan or business man? Potential long term servant to the game or playing with his new toy? Or does it matter just as long as his mob (oops!) finish top of the pile? Then again, on the subject of money can't buy me love (or top DJ'dom), whatever happened to Steve Chadwick? Is he still around? (Genuine question) Basically, I think your suggestion is bang on as far as trying to provide the best set possible every time (whilst taking the needs of the venue into account of course). Play the best records for the situation. Plus I reckon every venue should limit DJ's to just one 50 count box of tunes. It always amuses me when DJ's look like they need a fork-lift truck to bring their box into a venue, and then 20 out of it get played! Steve

Hey Phil good to see a new soul sourcer! Welcome aboard! Are you soul source member 'Rare Gems's' "Uncle Phil"? He speaks very highly of your work! Steve

Dave I think it may well be!

PM'd you Frank Cheers steve

Sean I know it's a daft question but can you remember any other 'distinguishing' marks by which we might identify these if they 'turn up' in sales boxes? Stamps on labels/ that kind of thing? Then again, I reckon which ever twat did this though will be putting them into his/her own little box never to be seen again. Just like Ian above, I had Alfie Davidson, Natural 4 & Bobby Hutton album filched whilst I was DJing. It really hurts to think there are people who would stoop so low on our scene. Steve

Steve those 3 shaking heads look like me, soul sam & arthur fenn

pm'd you! steve

I reckon Rod's version of 'The First Cut is the deepest' is fantabulous! As is 'I don't want to talk about it'. And ''The killing of georgie'. Then again he's done some well dodgy kak too............. On the supposed 'divvie' tip, Robert Knight ' Love on a mountain top' always does it for me. Played it at Brighouse Ritz a couple of years ago. Half the crowd wanted to have me knighted immediately, the other half wanted me taken out and shot. I suppose it's when no-one gives a f*ck you've got to worry! Happy days! Steve

Following from Glyn's post , £150 cash waiting here now for anyone who can offer me 4 tracks 'charade' at that price cheers steve
