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

Thanks John but I've still got the copy I bought in 75

Yes me, love it

How many do you have to post to make it cost effective?

It was played at the Wheel apparently Chalky, much to my surprise when I found out. As with other tags/labels it seems theres some differences to peoples definition of what a beat ballad is

Yeah but like benji says the Artistics isn't a beat ballad

When was this first played/known?

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of something like death by a thousand cuts would be more appropriate
