thats just superb

never been stateside but did used to find some bits when I was studying in london in the mid eighties, loads of orig TMG's only back ones I'm afraid! one way out x 2 tune up x 3 nothings to good for my baby i got a feeling there was always a few imports around on berwick street market, yes betty lou and Bobby Adams did turn up but I didnt get one, my johnny sayles did come from there though. I can also remember seeing maybe 40 copies of that summits record in vinyl exchange, I got custers last band from there too.

thanks very much I'll check it out.

please help me and a pal to ident the real from the pressing with light blue issue of I still love you, Manship apparantly says the one with a short run in is the orig, but I have me doubts

cant believe how out hand things get on here sometimes, so sorry if I caused any offence, and if I'm honest my contribution certainly wasnt designed to humiliate anybody, people do like to enjoy themselves in a variety of ways, sometimes our passion for what we hold so dear gets in the way of contributing to something thats wrong if its intention is to belittle poeple. In my defence what I said was was out of frustration derected at the ever increasing commercialisation of our passion. I just wish someone more elliquent than me, Mr Godin perhaps, was around to chip his two peneth in on the state of all things soulful.

would Gordon Ramsey the a hypocrit if he opened up next to macca D's, no he'd just be offering an alternative. Mark you've offered some really articulate responses, but to what end? are you seriously defending this sh*te, offcourse each to there own, but for someone with an obvious interlect what are you trying to defend? The commercial explotation of a once proud underground scene? Or the opportunity of some to p8ss around in a really embarasing manner?

by initially I meant in your own youth, not as in @ tiles or the scene club or brazennose street, I attended my first nighter when I was 17.

One of the things that initially appealed to me, about the scene, were the unique cultural traditions the feeling of brotherhood and bonding, being different, the scene has always been exclusive by its very nature, we dont accept everyone or the mainstreams traditions. more than anything, even in the 8ts, when I got into it, the scene was cool as you like and always had been. these people should feel embarassed getting caught at a soul night doing this, save it for for your works office do, I'll say it again, 'your an embarasment', but not as much as the money grabbing btards who sold their dignity and heritage to promote this crap. I do resent guys who should know better making a living out of it by selling it down the line, get a fookin real job, you too should be ashamed of your selves.

have you actiually read what you've written there.

er, oh the grounds thats its difficult to be nostalgic for something you weren't really involved in initially.

thats kinda what I assumed, there so many of these punters who go to these events who were only ever on the fringes of the scene if at all in there youth.

is the a 2nd issue then?

cant veiw this any but descibe what going on? it sounds really cringey, and it seems like just another examlpe of the incresing polaristaion of the scene.

more of a dixie chicken kinda felow really Ill try that spelling variation next time I'm searching tho.

yeah but I didnt like those you borrowed me, i've never been a fan of grannytrannyfan*y myself.

still think ther's a market for mags tho, bring back , grand slam or big daddy, George!!!!!

always buy soul up norht, the net's ne nearly as entertaining as a mag for me, yeah you can find out what you want, but there's so much crap to wade through first.

tony's blackburn, soultown days- michigan mood, george freeman- down and out 100 club- butch's old teen turbans cu- fred and the turbines- bernadine keele- dough Banks- kept on Dancing Bradford- Queeens hall- kel osbourne- quicksand that'll do for starters. great thread idea.

seen it a couple of times in the last 12 mths, a vg+ was around £125 i thnk on here, I've also seen a minter go for more, arounf 150- 175, in these times of need I'd think a decent copy should be around £150 imho.

listened in last night great show, very informative.

thats obscene, ramsey lewis is a bleeding fiver, even the constelations is attainable ( though realy overpriced) there no excuse for it and we've all got tales about name DJ's, you can be a collector and not dj but you cant be a dj and not collect! thats all there is to it.

not heard of that one, something keeps calling me back was played at the wheel/ torch.

will certainly try to listen to this over tea tonight

on reflection yep that a pretty shite generalisation by me, I think I probably had classic ' wigan big productions' in my head when I said that, and too be honest I cant see records of that type doing it with a black audience or featuring to highly in the r and b charts either. However much of what was played at say the wheel, cats or torch I could see cutting it with young black urbanites, out to dance, in mid sixties USA.
