    Welcome to 'cutting edge' Len

    .....no it's not Len

    The vat is worked out on the quarterly buying and selling of that period (3 months), but 'for arguments sake', John is correct on his vat summery (give or take) So what's the general opinion folks? - Which is better 'I don't Know About You, or I Didn't Know How To'? Answer - 'I Didn't Know How To' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZQRFuAdVoM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX7cHcSSvpw&feature=kp .......Actually, now I've had another listen.......I'm not sure again

    Great record! (I got it cheap) Len

    They had the very early copies, I'm sure Carl said he got his from John Anderson (I could be wrong) I heard Gary Spencer play it at The Fleet All-nighter, which influenced me to get a copy. It cost me £70.00, plus 'Joanie Sommers - Don't Pity Me'. I remember ringing Pat Brady up to double check if it was a fair deal Still a great haunting record which I never tire of hearing. Len

    .....Ok just the one then (as the thread subject seems to have run it's course now) Len 'Bull & The Matadors If You Decide' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj5j3KTF-Vk

    .....and a very rare one Dave! Len

    'Strange Intros' - That could be a good separate thread (It may have already been done) All the best, Len

    ....In 'The Den' ......Ged it?....Pride......No? Oh ok.....that was a cheap 'plug' Dead right about the dance floor mate.....we are now managing to empty it most of the time.....well, up until Brian Goucher D.J's, and spoils everything.....when will he learn?! All the best, Len

    Nice one 'Number 1' Len
  13. 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
  18. Len
    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
  20. Len
    I'm sure Glen Bellamy was doing this sort of thing years ago (Somehow) All the best, Len
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. 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
