you say it like its a bad thing, early chicago, BST, electric fag, titanic are all superb IMHO.

Mayfield's 'hard times' from ' there's no place like America today' is so different to either of the aforementioned tracks, think?? the lyrics are the same, but production wise its in a very different place .

For me, big production, strings and things type records seldom work in small venues and earthy, low budget sounds never seem to do as well in large dancehalls, though there are obviously exceptions.

Not sure, thought the lyrics differed in the verse's, I dig through my curtis lpee's and listen.

well it is penned by him, when i first heard it I thought it was just an uptempo version of hard times

Just got one of these myself, well will do soon, paying £35, apparantly has gone for as mush as $100 on bay, though I couldnt find it on popsike, one on here sold late last year for £30 I seem to remember.

I'd have to say I love most of it, from late 50's black R N B to soulful house, with most stops inbetween, though I'm not Keen on Popcorn, cliperty cloperty cowboy tunes, and think there's little place for crossover nowadays, though i like a lot of it for home listening. Things have changed so much since I've gotten into the scene in the 8ts and for me tempo's have actually gone up from the days when, 'the panic is on' and 'down and out' were big tunes, still love big voices and productions, but not sure how well they work on the floor now.

Here's my playlist from the 2nd kaliedescope @ Illiccini's in Congleton, cheshire, Plently of the local youth are beggining to attend this quirky venue where the focus is on variety, with latin, funk, garage and soul all represented throughout the night.

Always been a zep fan, trampled was supposed to have been played @ the mecca apparanlty, they also use a riff straight outa 'slipping around' the track also has similarities in the lyrics of said art freeman track.

dont I remember Humperies retiring about 10 years ago, LOL. Clausell should be fantasic, what kinda latin's he spin, contemporary or across the board?

Kinda assumed I t would be to do with this venture, he seemed really eliquent and full of amazing anecdotes on Trevor Nelson.

on at the moment, great interveiw so far, now there's a radio show to really get hot under the collar about.

ALL QUALITY, mate, check you Fb message Al!

Thanks to all who've helped so far, but nothing definative yet.

bit of the phsycedelic influence showing there, its credidted to Gene anderson and the Dynamic phsycedelics on the Royal tone issue too, though I cant imagine there being much of a 'heads scene' in st louis, mid 6ts, maybe wrong though.

I was pleasde to pick this up in a trade over Xmas and seem to remeber having it in the 8ts, when I sposse it was what you might call a tape swoppers fave but can anyone tell me more about the disc, artist or most importantly when and where it was played, a stafford sound? Gary Rushbrook perhaps?

i WAS JUST THINKING THAT!! ARHHGH, WHAT WITH THESE PROMOTORS SURELY THERE'S MORE POTENTIAL IN PUTTING THEM ON IN MANCHESTER THAN EITHER LEEDS OR THE SOULLESS BRUM! !

Dave rivers has one, but its a different version.

for me there are some real obvious connections, and the development of both gay and northern club culture scenes have been influencial too both one and other and more importantly mainstream club culture.

It could only be called, on the fringes of the viliage anyway.

is this the guy who cut an excellent house gospel cut in the early 9ts? sorry guys another classic boob for me, its joe church, lol.

thanks for that
