Kent Loma box set of singles (& a CD too): pre-release
Ady Croasdell replied to Seano's topic in All About the SOUL
Idiots you can get the lot for a few quid more -
Setting the record straight - Four Larks / Four Seasons
Ady Croasdell replied to Vadnochka's topic in Look At Your Box
Sounds like Dave Burton who had a terrific haul from a guy who worked for Warners. He brought a chest of promos to Dave’s Harlequin record shop in Berwick St. sold Fuller Brothers to Minsh and let me have Bolan Chance on Bunky. There was a Cooperettes and many others -

I’ll get these corrected if they haven’t been -
Kent Loma box set of singles (& a CD too): pre-release
Ady Croasdell replied to Seano's topic in All About the SOUL
The P date on a release refers to its first commercial release not the year of recording ( or when someone first found an acetate ) We didn’t number them intentionally -
He flogged me an original acetate of that (I thought some of his acetates were dubious). Is the flip the same do you know- and is this the same as the Sutter apart from the title?

New CD - For Dancers Forty - Kent Cd Out Now

Though they’re the same title, the LP and the CD are largely different tracks. Only three are on both. -
cancelled! 6Ts 100 Club Rare Soul Allnighter
Ady Croasdell commented on Mattbolton's event in Allnighters
Many apologies CANCELLED 100 Club Nighter Dec 10th 2022 Due to Ady screwing up the dates, we’re very sorry for such short notice and gross stupidity. If anyone has incurred any irretrievable expenses, please contact Ady at ady.croasdell@btinternet.com or FB message. The Christmas party on Thursday Dec 22nd 8pm-1am is unaffected and will definitely go ahead. Additionally, though unconnected directly, we are cancelling the April and October all-nighters planned for 2023. The recent big increases in security costs mean that even with a socially great nighter like the last one, we lose a substantial amount of money. It’s a case of use it before you lose it again people. We’ll be selling anniversary tickets at the February all-nighter and nighters thereafter until they sell out. That worked a treat at boosting attendances last year. Thanks for your support as ever, it’s been an astounding year musically and a couple less nighters will hopefully guarantee bigger crowds at the remaining ones. Xmas Party Thursday Dec 22nd, 2022, 8pm - 1am 2023 dates Feb 4th 2023 Mar 11th 2023 May 20th 2023 July 1st 2023 Aug 12th 2023 Sept 23rd 2023 anniversary 10-6 -ticket only Dec 2nd 2023 6TS Early years revival April 6th 2023 Easter Thursday 8pm-1am -
6Ts 100 Club Rare Soul Anniversary Allnighter
Ady Croasdell commented on Mattbolton's event in Allnighters
We’ve tallied up the ticket sales from the last all-nighter and the 43rd 6TS anniversary all-nighter on September 24th is now sold out. To boost attendance through the year, the tickets have only been on sale at the venue at the nighters and this has helped in keeping the events busy. If you haven’t secured a ticket, then I’m afraid you won’t get in now. There are several tickets from the last nighter that have been purchased that I need to send out in the post, I’ll do this at the end of the week - many apologies but summer holidays, a big birthday and a flat move have slowed things down. Thanks for your continued support, the next nighter after this is on Nov 5th and there is also a special memorial evening dance for Roger Stewart and Sean Adams on Friday Oct 14th 8pm-1am. Tickets are not required for any events except the anniversary nightery, it’s pay on the door otherwise. Ady & Matt www.6ts.info- 2 comments

Unknown Northern Stomper 45 Nimo King On Romark!Info???
Ady Croasdell replied to laparis's topic in Look At Your Box
What nick’s this one in? -
There was a thread on here by Soulgirl85 that Boba contributed to about Jean Shy's I'm A Bad Go-Getter on Chief but the topic was ended for some reason. Does anyone know if Jean's 45 on Starville ever turned up 'I Looked In My Pocketbook'? Also anyone know if Tim & Jean was Jean Shy and Timmy Smith for definite. And if so why was her writer name Key - it's not her real name
-
Anyone able to send me a hi res (300 dpi) scan of their own 45 please? Presents will be forthcoming. Ta Ady

Glad you enjoyed it, see you Thursday

Dear 6TSer, Since lockdown we have gone from being oversubscribed for tickets, to being poorly attended. The last couple have been quiet; we know the people who went really enjoyed it – especially with the extra dancefloor space – but with West End costs, we can’t subsidise the dances indefinitely. It’s all a bit frustrating when we know we’ll be sold out for the anniversary. Therefore, we have decided that to give the regular all-nighters a boost, we will start selling anniversary tickets at the all-nighters, in person only, up to and including the August one. If there are any left for sale after that, they will be sold by mail order from the following Monday on a first come basis. The first ones will go on sale at the April 2nd all nighter; one per attendee, £25 each, cash only. It’s tough on people who only come to the anniversary, maybe for geographical or personal reasons, but we need to boost the regular nighters. Additionally, we’ve planned some very good DJ line-ups for the rest of the year and don’t forget the London Congestion charge is only 12pm-6pm on Saturdays and Sundays so should not affect 100 Club attendees – though the ULEZ pollution charge on older vehicles is still 24 hours daily - that would mean a double charge unless you time it to enter the zone after midnight. If unsure you can check online if your vehicle is compliant and therefore unaffected by the ULEZ charge. See you at the 100 Club Ady & Matt

WARNING As I feared, when I heard that last year's anniversary single was being pressed at the factory that over-pressed some previous year's 45s, then sold them on through dodgy dealers - a similar thing has happened this time. I took the precaution of marking the singles that we gave out so that I could tell if the records had come through Kent and 6TS or not. Sure enough a few weeks later a copy turned up on Discogs which we bought at the high price and it was not marked. Later another copy turned up by someone who said they had traded it at a record fair and that too was unmarked. We have passed the matter on to the BPI who are investigating and the matter may become a criminal investigation. The perpetrators seem to be laying low or only selling the 45s off in ones or twos at very high prices around £300. Some on Discogs will be genuine records from the nighter but there's no way the buyer can tell so beware. If it goes like the last time this happened the price will drop drastically, as it did with those earlier ones. If you are tempted to buy one, maybe have a look at the other records the seller has for sale and you could work out if it's genuine or not - there's no way of telling for sure though unless you know how they are marked and that has to be kept secret in order to entrap the miscreants. We did not know which factory was pressing them until it was too late.

Popcorn Origins - you'll know them...................
Ady Croasdell replied to Chris L's topic in All About the SOUL
I never said that Popcorn was only played in the day time at clubs. I said “Maybe there were two sides to the scene as my guys didn’t do all nighters, I think the main events were Sunday all dayers” meaning their events. This was in Belgium not Germany so the scenes were probably different -

As I said I saw Major Lance at a Popcorn all dayer in Belgium mid 70s -
I'm very sorry, it's a total bastard but we've decided to cancel the 100 Club Xmas Party which was due to have taken place on Thursday 23rd December. It's down to the new strain of Covid - working it's way through society at a rate of knots. Several clubs have reported Coronavirus cases shortly after events of this kind. Unsurprisingly, with a few drinks down us and general merriment, it's easy to see how this can happen; the flesh is weak. Personally I'll be visiting my pregnant daughter and I don't want to take risks of spreading the blasted thing and if people had come and caught it at our event, there's a strong case to say we would have been irresponsible to run it. The whole world's in turmoil and God knows how next year will pan out. Jeff, the 100 Club owner, who has suffered more than most, is optimistic that although the new strains are more contagious they have weaker symptoms and eventually the virus will mutate into nothng worse than a cold and we can resume life. Don't give a dose to the one you love most! Have as good a Christmas as you can and see you in 2022. Ady & Matt

Ady Croasdell replied to Chris L's topic in All About the SOUL
Rick has it exactly as I remember it; Claus Ogerman was big later on! Primarily a dance scene, the beat mattered more than the soul, a little like the pop side of NS. Maybe there were two sides to the scene as my guys didn’t do all nighters, I think the main events were Sunday all dayers -

Sorry not good on years, whenever it was first big here, though the boots were old stock probably from two or three years earlier
