This ain't 'so bad' either... 'Willie Hutch - Hurt So Bad' All the best, Len https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBGeYYVwvoE

Yep, every time I play it out it gets such a reaction from dancers and collectors alike - It's simply another 'under the radar' tune that got missed - What a tune aye mate? It just builds, and builds, and builds...... All the best, Len

This is the best version (apart from Little Anthony) A big 'Len's Den' sound at the minute (Please excuse the plug, but it is) 'Arthur Prysock - Hurt So Bad' - Enjoy! All the best, Len https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpv2yeC4MdM

'Reputation' = BEAUTIFUL! XXXX Len

I remember reading a record list with one of my records on it for £200.00! - I rang up the dealer saying I had one, and would he want to buy it - He was so sweet!......Len, has it got any numbers stamped on the grove?" ......."Um, no - none at all"....."I think that may be a pressing mate"......"A what?"....... - He fully explained, and thanked me for the call, bless him......You live and learn Len

Don't put ya self down Pete Len

Nothing to do with me this, but from the outside this looks like the two promoters don't have a problem with each other because they are completely different events - If that's the case I don't see a problem (for what it's worth) I do think this is rare though (excuse the pun!) because todays Soul Scene is just a 'free for all' - I'm glad I experienced better times. If I'm right in my 'synopsise' - Best of luck to both events. They seem to have a mutual respect for each other - Which is what it's all about (Well 'was' anyway) All the best, Len

....because I expect the music was fantastic! - It sounds the same......Try explaining that to 'The Outside World' To be honest, it's not up for discussion as far as I'm concerned. I've said this many times before - I 'do what I do' and I know which D.J's I respect, and that's all that matters to me. Everyone else can do what the hell they like, and I hope they are enjoying the music - I don't think anything less of em for doing as they please. The more we go on about it, the more ridiculous it gets. All the best, Len P.s - Queue - "Well, actually Len, it doesn't sound the same" - Whatever!

It was never discussed back then though was it mate? - It simply wasn't an issue.......and that is the difference to todays 'Scene'...... All the best, Len

P.s - Ted - I'm also good at welding for the exact same reason........and that also don't mean I like it - Especially in this god forsaken heat! Have a good weekend folkz. All the best, Len

"My god, the times I put you on the guest-list for my events" I've just watched it again - It's brilliant! Nothing as funny since Mr Potato Head of Manifesto Magazine 'hung up his boots'......What next aye? Thanks again for this. Len

You're certainly 'getting me' today Ted! I know what it read like, that's why I 'softened' it with stating "(and a bit arrogant)".....Just stating a fact that's all, and to 'soften' that fact even more - I blo*dy should be good at promoting, I've been doing it since 1985 (learning by the odd mistake here and there) Right - Back to being humble (It feels a lot more comfortable) All the best, Len

Yes, I understand that - I have very high standards, but that doesn't mean I have to be serious - Ever. Passion is often looked upon as serious though - They are two different things (as you know) All the best, Len

'Ditto' F*ckin' 'Ditto' All the best, Len

He he - Nice one Ted To be serious for a minute (and a bit arrogant) - I do it because I'm good at it. This enables me to put on an event that has everything that I would want from one - Yes, I enjoy the satisfaction of a 'job well done', but I don't get to enjoy it as a punter without all the worry and stress - That's the downside for me. You know me too well Ted All the best, Len

It's not 'JUST' about records - It's also about attitude - TOP TOP MAN! Len

Great stuff - Thank you! - "It's all toooooooo serious!!!" Len

Me - Promoting is a pain in the *rse, which I'd would rather NOT do.... Len

I don't think I've heard it out - It's a nice record, so would be surprised if it has been missed and not played by someone. In saying this, such classic records often have the other side overlooked. All the best, Len

Don't worry Pete - Keep going mate, this thread is the best Soul event I've been to in a long time! Len

...... I dread to think - I thought we'd all run out of conversation years ago! Hey, if we keep this vibe going, not only will we all start enjoying what we do again - But we may even heal the economy! Have a good evening folkz. Len

.......And dance! - Come on! All the best, Len 'Keni Burke - Let Somebody Love You' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXBIrO-VlSM

Pete, This is one of my aaaaall time fave records.........don't tell anyone I told you so though (It's not earnest enough you see ) Len

What a great clip Let's hope this 'Happy vibe' carries on for a while! Len

I did actually put the idea of 'Carry on Northern' to Elaine whist discussing her new film.......Stranger things have happened All the best, Len
