========== hi bazza this is a pertinent question for me mate i constantly get asked for requests for oldies during my spots,,ive 9/10 got them in my box and feel duty bound to play them but when uve finished ure spot u see uve played over half of things u didnt want to play esp at niters,, ive sat back and tried to redress this as countless djs stick to their guns and play their own sets... what worrys me if u play a total eclectic set u may clear the floor and despite ure tunes being good a promotor isnt going to put up with that too long,especially with so many dj's waiting in the wings for that elusive spot! its about balance which im working on constantly and learning all the time!! good point tho!

======= but what a legacy you guys left!!!! top dogs you betcha!

======= jewels was covered as the rubies by kev roberts..

======= no i didnt!

========= each to their own mate

#====== jc messina is one of my fave oldies,,,

===== for me its Shelley Fisher - Big city Lights on Aries ...still obtainable for around £15 utter brilliance imo...

======== RAY GODFREY COME GET THESE MEMORIES D wasnt this the naffest release on the label or was it 7th wonder???

======= dena barnes is really hard on UK Grapevine and was the last one i got to complete the set.. also new wanderers - this man in love is hard too,,,maybe the detroit connection????

===== i know baz wot u mean ref the new grapevines u never seem to see them under a tenner do you the old ones ranged at one time from 1-10 for all of them? there must be loads of copies of them too ,,,isnt there?

got a live tape of martha at wigan,, got 76 on it but cuz of the playlists i think it would be circa 78/79 searlings spinning born a loser,,betty boo,cecil washington etc and russ playing his casino classics ron grainer,,all night band etc i would suggest 78/79 anyone know ?? regards mark

======= theyre the new ones baz

==== it s a shame the original grapevine run had grp 137 missing,,,was schduled to be ronnie and robin - sidras theme...would have looked nice that one! anyone remember those 10" promo copies for djs that were around,,how rare would they be??

======== remember this mark as if it was yesterday the first night i was naughty on the scene remember fat daz from leicester saying 'f'in hell youre off yer head!' of course i wasnt happy days

======== DERRRRRRRRRRRRR just read at the bottom of the list exactly what ive just said err best go to bed,,,lol

========== one you've all missed on there i belong to you didnt come out on carla!!1 the instrumental did the gallop but not the vocal the vocal came later on satiron a record i spun at the marrs bar all niter last weekend.. sorry just thought id mention that,,ive been on the diamond white again...

====== i like pierre hunt i bought chris hamiltons original version earlier this year and played it at the marrs bar all niter last weekend..even rob smith had forgotten about that one..

========= yes turleys a great tune isnt it got this on tape at wigan when Richard first spun it in 78!! also love lou roberts - you fooled me,,top tune..

were these the same record or 2 different versions?? gr8 tune but just wondering the BK was a c/u for the ghetto boys on tarx? regards mark

============= i sold my black issue for £50 and bought the demo (like all my mgm issues!) for about the same price i just heard tobi bowes version and while it is good,,i dont feel it is as haunting as mamie lees just my opinion of course..
