Steve L

Yeah its on Kent Select Chalky (006) b/w Fashionettes - Losing Control Shouldn't be too hard to pick up but just did quick search on ebay and couldn't see any

Absolutely mate, easily the best record of recent years for me - anyone not hearing this is missing out! Love it Heres another 4 from me to make a current top 5 Tiaras - Loves Made A Connection Benny Sigler - I Can Give You Love (seriously underrated) Junior McCants - Try Me For Your New Love Temptations - Forever In my Heart Rob Marriott played the last 2 at the recent trotters revival, which got me playing em again -magic!! PS love that description Byrney "weapon of a song" might have to borrow that one

Was this actually given out on the first night cos Kev Roberts wasn't on at first was he?

Sebastian a typical oldies type in the UK will describe as "rare" anything they're not familiar with whether or not the record is actually rare. ie " stop playing this rare shit and play some oldies that we know" What the said person wants to hear are records such as the Tomangoes, Salvadors and other such non-rare records

Yeah I wasn't really aiming it at CC Steve, just talking in general and in reaction to the cd comment!

What? so its ok to play cd's if they're rare? If you haven't got the records don't pretend to be a DJ (not aimed at CC )

Definitely mate, thats the sad state of things in 2012!

A lot of venues I could think of you could write the playlists before you go!

The Sharon Scott thread got me thinking about this. You wouldn't have believed it 30 years ago but we now know an awful lot about many of the artists that made our music that we once didn't know anything about. One by one many have been tracked down or information about them found. Some are well known in the wider world, some died along the way and a lot have performed over here in recent times - we even have Lorraine Chandler as one of us on here!! So how many and which artists do we still know absolutely nothing about? I asked Lorraine if she knew James Lately on a her thread and she hadn't heard of him so i'll suggest him as a start although someone probably knows otherwise. Complex I know...

And when, 73/4??

Feel free, I'm with chalky on this

I wouldn't buy it full stop!

Not a problem Des, people just highlighting little things that annoy them. We've all got em haven't we?

As good a record as this is, it actually became one of the first overplayed records for me personally. Rob Marriott hammered it at our local soul night (Trotters) for what seems like the whole of the 80s By the end of that venue I couldn't stand to hear it (also had it a tape from him which i played regularly in the car) After a long break i can enjoy listening to it again (no doubt it'll be played at the upcoming Trotters reunion)

You won't start a war, I don't think many people would disagree with that

Nay to the trenches, its time we went over the top for the big push to end this matter once and for all. Fix bayonets!!!

There was one on UK ebay recently, it was bid up to £28 but reserve not met, I think he had a BIN price of £100 A mate got one off C Andertons list a couple of months ago for around 35ish Definitely one bubbling under

Please, please , please......no, not again

Your English is shit hot youth

Welcome to Soul source John, any stories you could share from those days would be more than welcome. Thanks for the music & all the best

£10 & £50 I would reckon?

But Kev its obvious, if you don't go to oldies venues and endorse the baggy trousered look, you must frequent half empty up front ones with other boring chin strokers who plainly don't go out and have fun!!! Its a simple fact of life

I (probably) was there Terry and I'd still like to hear all those records again, nowt wrong with that. I'll be able to nail some of them that I didn't know at the time so educational for me, all part of the never ending learning curve that this is

Yes me Phil
