ive got about 60/70 echoes from around 79/80 with loads of northern soul adds/record info /ramblers page /playlists obvious aging has occured but in bery good condition considering the dates some great memorabilia here for the right person regards mark

======= mine are kelly garrett - loves the only answer roy hamilton - you shook me up tony middleton - to the ends of the earth all on lovely demo copies!!

======== mine are russ winstanley and ian levine both influenced me to search for and obtain those forgotten 60's and 70's oldie that one day ill hope to make big again... russ often gets slated for some of the stuff he played but in between the dross he spun some corkers regards fluff

====== feel that i know him but cant place the guy at the moment but terrible news indeed condolences to his family at this terrible time regards mark

======= hi jo been doing 20 years+ of early doors mate and it gets u nowhere the majority of the time the odd one may be lucky and good luck to them that do but i certainly wont be busting my gut doing anything to get a major dj spot ever again ..learned that harsh lesson last year and the previous 19+ happy new year regards humbug freeman

========= refuse to do the early spots,,wait for a better time to turn up..its not worth it and gets u nowhere anyway

==== just bought do what u can do again ,,,sold 2 copies really cheap years ago still a gr8 record

========= mine is gerry robinson - sugar dumpling lyrics are really silly--but the catchline and chorus are great! i love it and still aint mega cheap on original

======== famously covered up for years as steve mancha..

==== disagree with the antellects.. packed the floor at keele the other week cant comment on sister james

========== dont like the trip but think the superiors is a great dancer didnt searking play this?

=========== hi simon Be prepared for a rocky road a highs,lows,elation and disappointments. Djing on the Northern Scene can be one of the most satisfying feelings ever,seeing people dance to your records,people asking you for a record and you reply 'yes I got it here' and making people happy. doing a do of your own or djing locally can be a good ground for a start. the down side is when you try and get on a bit more globally where its really difficult and frustrating. one important to remember is not to take things too seriously as ive been guilty of many times and come down to earth with a great bump.. ive sacrificed alot of home life in search of glory on the NS scene and some times you lose sight of what its all about and important to keep your feet on the ground and not have your expectations too high! However once you get a taste its human nature to want more and here lyeth the problem some of the options are as that have already been said already some constructive and some not but in my experience you need the following: a hald decent collection or better belief in what your playing enthusiasm desire to suceed being in the right place at the right time one line to keep it in perspective is 'there are plenty of good actors but they cant all be in Eastenders!' good luck!!

==== on the fluff freeman playlist from 2005 GR8 oldie once bought 'i ve been loving you too long' by I&TT but it was the wrong record!!

heard quite a few old wigan sounds at keele,including the following:- combinations - what u gonna do stemmons express - woman love thief g davis/r tyler - hold on help is on the way checkmates - kissing her and crying for you. havent heard these out for a while..

what do you think the price is for a white demo seen one for £1300 is this about right?

=== shudda called him jim!

is this a man or what? listened to your welcome and whats underneath and defo sounds like a man...poor girl

==== rings a bell simon,,thanks..

someone at keele played the old keb play 'pretty girl'..cant remember who it was by ,,,but i think bob hinsley spun it..

======= is clifton hall still there?

========= for a few years after 81 richard was playing most of his wigan set at clifton hall,stafford and morecambe especially his 60's/70's stuff.. i nearly sold all those early 80's stuff about 4 years ago,but thankfully held on to them apart from jan jones

======== im happy enough with my lovely US capitol issue!! 2 gr8 sides..

===== i prefer 'i wanna do it with you baby' same label also a bit later ie 70's - in and out of love on DT good group

--> QUOTE(mark.b @ Dec 19 2005, 09:16 PM) link hi brett it is the shandells - i've got to love her. mark your pedantic manchester mate ==== shandells - GREAT Tune!!! so soulful..

====== little mac was the first northern soul record i heard on the radio peter powell played it and it sounded fantastic and still does theres an excellent female version on the b side but the organ work on the instrumtal is somerthing else i might spin this at the next marrs bar allniter!
