Sky+ is the best invention of recent times, with the series link thingy - the soul shack will still be on every Sunday at 8 pm in this house

Good news

Thanks for that mate, just got a hold of a nice white demo. Like I said not the best record I've ever heard but interesting. Cheers

Cant find any reference to this in JM's guide or website, Craig moerer or any of the others. Also googled it and tried mercury discographies etc - nothing. Anyone got any info? Not the best record in the world but just came across one and curious about it.

Had this on a tape for about 15 years ( Andy Dyson sales tape ) and always thought it was a great record. When I got JMs 1/2 price list through I thought I'd snap one up. Anyway usual question from me on records like this that I've known about for a while but never heard played out ( cant recall seeing it on many playlists either ) Anyone out there ever played it out, have you got it, do you rate it?? etc etc

OK nice simple answer - Mick H was not running a club in Nottingham with a rare soul policy when we started the attic. The Brit was on bi monthly and were playing oldies. When things changed and Mick went monthly with a change of policy BACK TO A RARE one and I think I can remember his words at the time something like " we are going back to the old union policy" ( we were up and running by this time ), what do you think we should have done? Packed in at the Attic?? I hope this clears things up as I cant explain it in simpler terms and all I wanted to do was make people aware that we DID NOT START THE ATTIC UP TO COMPETE WITH THE UNION!!!!! My last words on the matter as I'm not interested in getting into an argument over this

Sure is Simon just bought a few myself

I read Micks comments on the Union thread with interest and I agree completely with what he has said. Now some people might think this ironic as I am a co promoter of a soul night which is on the same night as the Union and is only 14 miles away. I felt like I had to clarify a few things on this issue as we are obviously one of the nights in question but please bear in mind that I'm not in the habit of stirring things up or getting into an argument over these things and there are no ulterior motives behind anything. Also bear in mind that a lot of people on here come out with "wannabe DJ's" etc when talking about this subject and I can assure you that neither me, kev, dean or Garry are wannabe anythings at the Attic. When we started out in July 06 the only monthly night on "locally" that we knew about was Awsworth and we felt that they we far enough away from us and we wouldn't cause them any problems as it was a well estabished night. The Brit was running bi-monthly at this stage but having been ourselves with knew the emphasis was on "oldies" So we chose our night carefully to avoid clashes as much as possible and set out to provide what we thought was something different in the Mansfield area ie what we feel are underplayed soul records. We've made a reasonable succes of it so far but thats probably down to luck more than judgement. Anyway without getting bogged down with detail the point I'm trying to make is that we didnt set out to rival anyone or to take over anyones mantle. We just wanted to fill a niche in our area. When the Brit went monthy and back to the original union music policy we talked about moving our night but that wasnt possible for a variety of reasons. Finally I'd just like to add that I hope the Union club carries on providing a great soul night and if the Attic wasnt on all 4 of us would definately be there.

Good call mate, played Follow Me at the Attic on Sat night - great tune

Got one mate, will be giving it a spin at the Attic in Mansfield on Saturday

Bobby Long & the dealers - I Gotta have love too ( Old Town ) Just came across this nice crossover tune, asked a few knowledgable people in the back room at Bentinck and at Sheffield tonight - nobody seems to know much about it. Anyone out there got any info? Is it widely known, been played etc?

SOLD Apple and the Three Oranges - Free & Easy ( vocal & instr ) on Stanson Condition of vinyl is Ex, label is nice and clean and it has a slight warp - plays great. Not really sure what to ask as funk isnt my thing but someone said £70ish when I asked so if anyone wants to make an offer in this area I'll give it a few days before I put it on ebay. Paypal or cheque, £1.50 for recorded delivery. Cheers

I'd better not admit to having a pair then Matt Seriously a lot of lads wore them at on the scene in 78/79, they were great for dancing - really comfy. Dont think I'll be buying another pair though

Thanks I'll give it a try

I find 10-14 days on average although some take up to 3 weeks. 7 days is ultra quick in my experience.

I might be persuaded to part with mine for a ridiculous sum ( check out the thread about pricey bootlegs in look in your box )
