At a guess: ts = tenor sax as = alto sax fl = flute cl = clarinet tb = trombone

Do you honestly think more than 50% of the people attending now will be attending events in more than 10 years time? Looking at quite a few, they'll be lucky to be alive in 10 years.

The more I think about it, the more I lean towards it being a good thing. I'm 35, and hopefully I've got at least another 25 years of this music in front of me... Seems a bit selfish for those who've had it for the last 30+ years to deny it to someone else just because they don't fit their image of what someone attending a Northern event should be like. I understand the reluctance of people to allow possible drunks/idiots into the scene, which is why nights like Little Stevies Manchester town centre events are I.M.O crucial - a chance to sort the wheat from the chaff without the ahem 'polution' of the underground events - anyone genuinely into the music will pick up flyers for other events and investigate further. Like it or not - attendances are falling at local do's - running at less than half of what they were 3 years ago - give it another ten years and your average nighter goer will be knocking on retirements door (many are already), so those crying out about keeping the scene as it is will be crying into their Horlicks when there is nowhere to go. Anyway enough of this 'serious' stuff... back to the nonsense.... WOOF

Two Foot Drag - little oscar - toddlin' town

Soul Party - billy clark - dynamo / columbia / a-z

Pervert.

Sharon Soul came out on two different design labels - usual multicoloured plus a plain blue label. Can't remember if the release different was different though.

What a stinker!

it's "....what she HEARS"

How much is he looking for? I've got a mint sleeve, which I found recordless in an old box of 45s and bought a VG copy to put in it until a etter one turned up.

Low Down Dirty Tramp - b. b. brown - dit dot

1, Hoss doesn't do the interweb thing. 2, Don't think he'd be up for selling, so wouldn't appreciate me passing his phone no on. 3, You can usually find him in the R&B rooms at events around the UK, and always at the event below....

Credit to Karl Heard for getting his arse into the R&B rooms where this has been very popular for the last couple of years thanks to Hoss.

Was it a Mecca record?

Something I've been considering myself lately. I have a handful of unreleased acetates that I've been playing in the R&B rooms for a while, having had them cut onto VCs to preserve the acetate. I recently considered selling a couple of them on, to turn over a bit of cash to invest in new stuff. If I sell them on, do I give up the right to play the 'carvers' out? I've already sold one on the understanding that I would never play it where the purchaser is DJ'ing (I offered, as a matter of courtesy) - so is it a case of double the exposure for the owner, or lack of exclusivity? Difficult one for me as I definately lean towards OVO

It might be a bit late, but if I were you I'd ask for my money back.

Me too. Last time I did it was to see if the rumours about Guy Hennigan playing Vinyl Carvers of all the big tunes was true.....

Not 100% sure on this but I think Hoss may have played this at Back Beat or Prestayn... Of course I could be wrong, as I was very, very, very drunk at the time.

yep got a 7" of this in the sales box.. Will find it out and pm you tomorrow.

yellow labels are boots, methinks.

boblo? Red label if i remember right...

still not arrived yet will see you soon to sort it out...

I had Willy Wiley in my sales box for ages - finally went a couple of weeks ago... Sems to be a bit of a buzz going around about it at the mo.

Fab Playboys - regular fixture on eBay. Louis Jordan - not so easy.....

Saw a copy of this for sale at the Wilton last month - £300 on 45. Picked up the LP for $20.00
