Apart from the Elvis stuff....and a couple of others i thought the whole 78 thing was dead...at least thats what the US dealers tell us. I`ve seen places with thousands of mint 78s for sale and nobody even wants to take a look at them.... Chris

Not me mate - I never knew his wife.... I'll get me coat............... ............... I used to play table tennis with a bloke called John Pope and his wife was lovely.....bit of a milf actually...... Where`s that cloakroom mace....? Chris

daddy maxfiled i've always been in love with you UA ........... Yeah, Great tune mate, John Fisher plays it in the West mids....known it for a couple of years but proving a real bugger to find...... Chris

I wonder if John Pope, the lead singer is still in the nick. He got life for killing (strangling i think) his wife..... Still, Its something we have all being guilty of thinking about! Chris

I was spinning the excellent Mac Davis "Im just in love" on Columbia and was thinking about how come this has been undiscovered until recently. Anyone got any more tips on major labels not yet widely known.....??? Chris

Maybe at crossover venues! I've seen people follow really good 60's DJ's, play 70's and kill it dead .......... Maybe years ago but not now...I`d say that 70s is what most of the dancers want these days...I`m talking about "Northern" venues too........ As I said I`d love to do a 60s only set but you have no chance...always get 70s requested too... Chris

Bloody hell i usually give these sleeves away........... chris

I love my 70s but sometimes I`d love to DJ at a northern do and play a 60s only spot as there are so many tunes that dont get a look in.....absolutely no chance! The punters want 70s, probably more than they want 60s...its what packs the floor..... Chris.

Tell that Chris Anderton bloke to get to the back of the queue :angry:

I guess its between 200 and 250 these days mate..although i`ve never actually seen one for sale.....just going on what other people have said....been after it fot 15 years...probably my longest standing want....i`d even consider paying more....maybe....!! Chris

chris.soul@btinternet.com if you want to sell me a copy! Cheers, Chris

A really tough one but its the Tops for me......just edge it.... Chris

I have a copy of G C Cameron "Dont want to play Pajama games" Mowest Mint - for £20. chris.soul@btinternet.com Chris

Yeah Mark, he has gone a bit quiet now.....he has probably remembered that Derby beat Bolton last week and thinks theres no way he can win this one! Chris

Naaahh, Unlike certain "big name" DJs some of us can vary our playlists according to the venue, the crowd and even the temperature.....selecting quality tunes from different eras and soul genres and blending them together.... Maybe one day its a skill you might care to learn......in the meantime "Heres Don Gardner, My baby likes to Boogaloooooooo"!!! Chris

Love the guy to bits....a true legend. Anyone who has ever DJ`d with Sam will know he is a real bugger to get off the decks! One time at Albrighton with 5 mins to go he said " three more?"...and proceded to play three 12" and did`nt cut any of them short. Then if he is following you he is up there fifteen mins before his spot looking at his watch asking "How many more?"..... Dodger once "insulted" me on another list calling me "The son of Sam"......best compliment I`ve ever had!! Chris

Superb Pete...as with all your clips...well done mate! Reminds me of the time we went to see wattstax at a little theatre in Memphis...it was the first time the whole thing was ever shown in a theatre....supposedly a big event....a Saturday night......and we were the only ones there! Chris

please EMAIL all orders to chris.soul@btinternet.com cheers

I`ll be off to the States again so if there is anything a bit different you are looking for please let me know. I dont want wants lists containing the obvious stuff, believe it or not i pick that up anyway when i see it (!) but if there is something a little bit different, maybe on a major label then get in touch and I`ll see what i can do, i have a good contact for lesser known stuff mainly on major labels.
