    Nice one 'Number 1' Len
  2. Len
    Nice one - There's still plenty of tunes that people who have never had a break are yet to hear.....I can never understand when I read things like...."It's over, there's no more records to be discovered"......So to quote Phil T...."We have a 50 year back catalogue to choose from!".......There's plenty more enjoyment to get out of that little lot All the best, Len

    I like 'dodgy' intros (All part of the fun) - Here's another one All the best, Len 'YOUNG HEARTS- I'VE GOT LOVE FOR MY BABY' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umTlXx6EYkk

    I had the same thought - If some of the awful R 'n' B records that I have heard out are being played instead of records like this.....well, there's no helping us..... I.M.H.O - Lets keep it nice and friendly folks All the best, Len P.s - 'Paultp' - I have to admit it does sound better over a big system, but I like the 'messiness' of it.....Let us know if you change your mind about it, as that would be interesting - Some records don't 'grab ya' straight away.

    Fair enough mate - You gave it a go. I know exactly what you mean on the 'rare / expensive, so it must be good' bollox that 'clogs' up the Scene - Personally I fell in love with this record in the 80's off that beloved tape - I've never been influenced by price / rarity.......but, there's no denying that if you have a great record AND it's a bit exclusive, that does give it that 'bit of magic' in addition to the sound......There I've said it All the best, Len P.s - Listen to it again (you're wrong you know) .....Just kidding

    Unfortunately our last car (Theresa's Chrysler) ((c/w Tape Player)) blew up!....and now the whole family are running around in my works transit van (no tape player)....due to this damn recession! We were just sorting boxes of tapes today actually, as we're 'defragging' the house (The kids are 'at the next stage').....So, look out for more of my 'Cover Ups' that simply got played for two weeks in the 80's, to be played as 'first time outs' in 'The Den'! All the best, Len P.s - If, I find out what the f*ck they are called

    Indeed he did - See post number 275 on this link (and a couple of Romona Collins comments after) Not an acquired taste at all, and dead easy to dance to (in my 'humble' opinion of course) Soul Sam, Arthur Fenn, Kitch, Butch, and others have had the record for many years - It's a cracker! All the best, Len P.s - In 'again' on a Sat night.....looking forward to Life-line....

    That's got me thinking Terry, maybe I should write a Children's Northern Soul Book 'to attract more youngsters to the Scene'...........mmmmmm........... ........'Farmer Suitacle Goes To Wigan' I do wish more was covered about the 90's Scene, that was a really healthy time. Mark Gibbs started one, but it's on the back burner at present. All the best, Len
  9. Len
    I'm sure Glen Bellamy was doing this sort of thing years ago (Somehow) All the best, Len

    Ady Croasdell never has (probably too busy) I recon he will one day. Stories from people like our Kimbo, entwined with record digging stories would be a great read (as stated above) and yes, up to present day - not only about the 70's. All the best, Len
  11. Len
    Hi Mike, I know you've 'been in touch' with me a few times for this (and no doubt many others) .....It's a fine line though, I presume it's ok as long as doing so is interesting / entertaining, and doesn't go off topic for too long - Is that right? All the best, Len
  12. Len
    Not my generation (and I hate to say it) but it's healthy - let em rip up that rule book, and do it their way I used to think prices of certain records would fall dramatically as soon as something was pressed, but surprisingly it made no difference to value (if that's what is meant by ruining a collection because of this practise) The bit that is ruined of course, is the exclusivity. All the best, Len
  13. Len
    and it ain't the bloke who sells em's fault if they do. Although I understand the point that if they weren't available they wouldn't have the choice - sadly, this argument gets more irrelevant as time goes on I'm afraid. All the best, Len
  14. Len
    Yes, fully understand, and that's the way I would be normally.....but for some reason it's the other way round for me on this - can't really explain why, it just is .........It's just me on this isn't it? All the best, Len
  15. Len
    See above post......Give it a go........imagine you were really 'dancing hard' to it at a nighter........(Let me know if you change your mind) ......I'm still convinced - I don't normally go for instrumentals, but for some reason, this one really 'jumped out' at me. All the best, Len
  16. Len
    .....Sometimes I worry about myself! I'm now convinced I must have got so wrecked one night, that I had my record box the wrong way round (It has been said) .....But - play the whole record, I'm sure there's a lot more 'going on' than in the vocal........um, imagine you were wearing my ears........ Len
  17. Len
    I always play 'Jesse Fisher - Waiting' (The instrumental to 'Your Not Loving a Beginner') I like both, but I definitely prefer the instrumental. All the best, Len https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxWdI0DKK04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQofoYKczc8

    ...There's me thinking you lot are out 'Disco Dancing' every weekend! I watched Simon Pegg's 'The World's End' (I thought it was rubbish)......oh how times have changed - More on 'what we watched' next week folks See you at Life-line mate (very more than likely) Len
  19. Len
    .....Unfortunately it has the adverse effect - 'The Pendulum' is always in time with another record! Len
  20. Len
    Confusingly - Yes! Len
  21. Len
    'Bobby Valentin - Use It Before You Lose It' Great track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2Gf4x4qXM4
  22. Len
    He don't much, but we did manage to 'prize' him out a couple of months ago to D.J in 'The Den' - He did a great job, one of my all time fave D.J's........I may ask him to do the same night as Mark Bicknell, and do a 'spirit of' kinda thing. Thanks again for posting these clips - You may have just inspired a whole load of '80's returnees' All the best, Len
  23. Len
    Oh go on - take the credit! Good point ref 'Comedy names', I think most (if not all) use these 'names' as descriptive only, and yes some descriptions may have a funny side, but no malice intended.......'Our' Terry once decribed mine as......"that silly Mid-tempo dance"......Owch! - But ya gotta laugh ain't ya? All the best, Len
  24. Len
    .......Have you tried the flip? .....Nor me...... Len
  25. Len
    Indeed. The brightest stars shine then are gone - they don't just fade away.......I don't care what the 80's returnees wear - they were cool as far as I'm concerned, and still influence me. Len
