No it's not. (my first ever emoticon, just for you Pete) I don't even think the poster was serious.

You could play Motown, Mirwood, Okeh, Atalntic, Ric Tic etc for an hour without the hint of a boot or anything over £50, all solid Northern and keep the floor rammed. We all agree that you can't with unknowns but no one apart from you has suggested that.

But I bet those girls were happy to hear some of the 100 Club anniversary singles and Butch's biggies that were all brand new and unheard of prior to their debuts (obviously). So though they don't think they like new sounds, I'm sure they'll actually be benefitting from some of those that have been discovered since they first started on the scene. You are of course right that even in a relatively "upfront" club like t'Hundred, there are plenty of people who aren't just into the latest newies or rareties and come for a good night out. That's always been the case and was one of the reasons we never went as far out on a limb as Stafford did in the 80s but always tried to maintain a balance between new and old.

Anyone got or ever seen this one on vinyl?
-
This and your first analogy are daft Pete. Why should the person who was on instead only have £10 floor clearers in their box. The point a lot of people have made is that great sets can be done for all types of punter without using boots.
-
Yeah Commonwealth but I see what you mean, did SS get her to cut a version or did he just buy a bunch of copies from her. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Try the flip of Wedding-Park Avenue for a great slice of NYC life. My favourite is probably The Last One To Be Loved. Randy always tipped It Ain't No Use as a potential dancer

I've got one I'll flog if I can ever find it.

April's an interesting lady who once visited Ace Towers. She was married to the guy who had the Candix label and had tapes by Theola Kilgore and Jimmy Holiday. Her real name was Da Silva and I think was Polynesian.
-
My mate has the LP, the non LP track is No Other Guy and I can't remember what the label was like but it was printed not Test Pressing stylee. And Lou's Reach Out For Me is the best, he is actually my favourite male soul vocalist bar none.
-
Plans are afoot for Lou to visit but he's not keen on flying and there's a lot of work to be done yet. The Big Top LP has one non 45 side which is brilliant , there's The Panic Is On acetate I've got and a couple of unissued ballads about on dodgy CDs. We're in touch with Big Top owners and are trying to sort a package out for Lou that will look after him well. The Big Top LP has a proper label but no cover as they didn't get that far.

That's gotta be rare I put it on a Kent CD from master-tape (I think) but didn't know it ever came out. That's a great find. Ady

News of a change to djs and hours for the 100 Club January event Dear 6TS goer, Unfortunately the manager of the 100 Club applied for our all-nighter extension a day too late and despite our excellent reputation and record over the years, the police licensing authorities refused to allow us any leeway. We therefore have to finish the night at the club's latest licensed closing time of 3 am. We will be starting proceedings at 9pm. This will not affect future 100 Club all nighter dates that will all go ahead as planned; the management have assured me that they will be applying well in time and I'll be checking each time now. However I know this will cause problems for quite a few of you who have pre-booked trains, planes, baby-sitters etc. and for this the club management and I apologise profusely. We were going to pull the gig completely but realised we can still have a great late soul night, though it won't be the usual all nighter feel; more of a cross between that and the Xmas party. It will also mean that people who are coming to London anyway can have a good night out. Because of all this we are reducing the price of admission from £12 to £8 and have adapted the DJ line up as Butch, Mick H and Russ are better suited to all nighters and we have moved their appearances to the next nighter on March 8th which will be at the new permanent nighter time of 10pm-6am. Mick and I will still be serenading you with our soul numbers, (I've just acquired a great new unissued Brooks O'Dell Columbia track, perfect for the 100 Club) as usual, and we've added 40th birthday boy, long time 100 Club stalwart, Dome maestro and top London 60s club DJ Alan Handscombe to the roster. We'll be adding another top DJ too; I'll E-mail further details and check out www.6ts.info for updates. Many apologies once more, but in true 6TS style "the soul must go on". I really appreciate your continued support over so many great years and hopefully will see y'all down those hallowed steps on the 19th. Ady

100 Club 19th January 2008 all-nighter - 3am closing time View full article

Great stuff, you're going to make Mr Rounce very happy!
-
The unissued Columbia cut that Tony's managed to get out of Sony for this CD is absolute mid-tempo magic. I'll be spinning it at the 100 Club on the 19th if anyone is desperate for a preview.
-
"Winnie The" I hope! It's nice to be back home on the ole Source.
-
Thanks everybody, I'm all sorted now. Ady

No, I'm saying I'm too busy going through my box to see what to play next, once I've judged the dancers reaction to what I've just played and looked through the pile I've already dug out to try and programme. I'm also listening to peoples requests and occasionally dashing off for a slash.
-
Thanks people. I saw him in Belgium around this time and it must have coincided with a UK tour.
-
If you take the trouble to re-read my post I said that writing down the titles wasn't possible as there's not time during the set, unless you want the set to suffer. I then mentioned the alternative way that I do it so as to avoid repeating plays. I've actually joined in the discussion to try and find a way of doing it. Sober up or go to bed.
-
What are you on? I never said anything remotely like that. Top lad you are!
-
Thanks. In that case did he do a tour of Top Ranks in the mid to late 70s? I've got a ticket of him at Watford Top Rank somewhere.

Please Ady

Because not everyone wants Motownesque records all the time, because Ian Levine's taste was far from infallible, he has a much higher love of pop than most soul fans (as do I) and the records that went big through the 80s and 90s came from 100s of different sources, Ian's neglected collection was only one small part of it.
