Can we get rid of this misconception thats trotted out on here time & time again - not all places that dont play top 500 oldies play mid tempo "tosh" as you call it - try the burnley all nighter - up tempo dance music all night The butch tape from 91 (whilst top quality soul) is not necessarily indicative of what he plays out at Lifeline or the 100 club which is good fantastic dance music How many records discovered in the 80s/90s and even beyond do you know and have listened to out?? Too many people condemn the rare/underplayed scene without actually knowing what they're talking about IMO its proper f***ing northern soul!!!!! No offence

No it wasnt mate, I distinctly remember having to get up and down to change channels and turn the f***ing sound up & down - what a ball ache

Damn him, bringing the name into disrepute!!

Er.... last night

I'm always suspicious of records like this with one bid on a fairly high start price, I bet he got someone to bid on it to "encourage" others to

Chris is Rob's older brother, had a top collection at one time - known as a detroit collector

There's quite a few on there I still like, Idle Few, Frank Lyndon, 7 Dwarfs & Charlie Gracie Mick H played French Fries at a local oldie do a few weeks ago, sounded pretty good after about 8 pints

People were doing that high kick thing before 1980, cant think that any northern moves would have been borrowed from disco dancing but who knows?

The "Butch's playing it I want one" = rise in price, is a well known phenomenon but if this causes a rise its taking things to a new level surely? " Butch played this 22years ago on radio at the yarmouth weekender" = rise in price?? :huh:

I've got a soft spot for it Pete from a memories perspective, was just making a tongue in cheek point about playing it out on CSP

People used to get sent to the colonies for lesser crimes

What about Snoopy Dean - Shake & Bump has that ever been played anywhere since Blackpool mecca? I reckon theres loads of mecca & cleethorpes records that havent been played for 30+ years

In demand as they say!

Where/who was that so I can avoid it/him? :huh:

Yeah they're the same everywhere

Most wouldnt be bothered if it was put on a plate for em. If these records were played at my local oldies nights I guarantee there would be a mass walk out and much wailing and gnashing of teeth As has been said, its their loss

Great stuff

rock & roll? lack of soul? Peoples different takes/perspectives on things like this never fails to amaze me

A all the way, cant bear to have scratched, beat up records Sad I know

Great record, interesting stuff

Its a crazy world, I love half the records on this thread

Jesus thats a new low Back on topic, this thread's about burgers aint it

1) Dean Barlow -Third window from the left (or is it right?) 2) Lou Lawton - Knick knack paddy (f***in) wank 3) ? - Catch that teardrop Also hate the following not on their musical merits but due to dull unimaginative so called DJ's playing them ad nauseum and turning something I love into a joke 1) Bobby Womack - Home is where.. 2) Philip Mitchell - I'm So Happy pissed off with this 3) Ruby andrews - Just Loving You

Spot on Matt Whats wrong with elitism BTW?

Both good but Rita for me - memories of Wigan and many other places clinches it
