    As I said, where these quality nighters? I wouldn't knock the 100 club but 'rhythm and soul', its has never been about big nighter records, has it?

    Almost legendary event now, and all for a great cause.

    Despite hating playlists here goes, pulled at random from me box, could of listed 100 tbh. Bit of a mix but with an eye on a prospective dance- flu-er. Benny latimore- I got news for you Helen curry - I want you, I need you Johnny Newbag- got to get you back (another tim spun the other week) Frankie coe- get it jerk Keanya Collins - it ain't no secret Johnny sayles- anything for you Barbara and the browns- you don't love me Sir mack rice- it's alright Ov wright - ace of spades Taste of grey- for once in my life Or you can have slowly molding for the millionth time!

    Tim A played a great okeh track, think it was Ernie Lucas? And while we're in okeh for starters, how about this https://youtu.be/7Z35by1NWXA?si=GqQGos7VyaaPRYhF

    Not surprising nobody is ready to post a list of underplayed cheap tunes, far to many here that would scoff and sneer. It's the 'I've got better tunes than that' attitude, 'I must have I paid a lot of money for them'. I take the point to a certain extent, conventional northern that's good always command a premium. It's The odd ball, left field and just plain weird stuff I love tbh, a occasionally these you can find.

    Tim set at FTMNTC last week was ace, littered with great underplayed, available records.

    They aren't played because, as chalky intonates ego's get in the way. why play a cheap record when you can show off and play what you spent £3k on last month. That's the default setting for most.

    I just ignore this crap tbh, switched radio four off this morning, when a feature on it came on. You know exactly what they'll say and who'll say it. You have your official spokespersons of the scene and sometimes the junior official or youth spokesperson. It say more about the quality of journalism since the invention of the net than anything else, every subject matter is dealt with in a patronising way.
  12. Geeselad
    They do now!

    Ken, to quote the Scottish vernacular, I disnae ken?

    Integration is the key, totally agree. Setting up a great lesser known with something more familiar often works but so can contrasting the tempo and atmosphere to create a reaction in the room.
  15. Geeselad
    Sorry I disagree, but then I'm not sure where these nighter tunes can actually get played to a credible audience nowadays.

    This is what I was really driving at with the 'when did it become about rarity?' Thread, there was shit loads of great cheap records played at all the great venues of the 70's, they don't get played now! Playlists are the scourge of the scene, can't remember the last time I read one and it wasn't full of the same old, tired rarities. These lists sat nothing about the imagination of the DJs other than how much they've spent and how big there ego's are. The big problem with the upfront scene has become exactly the same, Willie Dale is the new John and the weirdest.

    Again we've had lots of interest in the event, if your thinking of traveling and don't won't to be disappointed on the night, get in touch.

    German guy, ace documentary, next level digging.
  19. Geeselad
    Great that
  20. Geeselad
    It's half of the topic. I'd love to hear about all the records you don't like, go on a dare you!
  21. Geeselad
    Where was it used, chalky?
  22. Geeselad
    Yes far be it from me to critique calender and tea towel sellers from exploiting the scene, it's totally different from the BBC, or some bloke who never went to Wigan playing cd's at the dog and duck. These people obviously need to be respected, after all nobody else was willing to be fed the best imports coming into the country at the time.
  23. Geeselad
    It's unusual these days to find a big system that copes with vinyl so we'll. It is pretty impressive, probably the best I've heard at any current venue.
  24. Geeselad
    Even if that's by the crass exploitation of the scene?
  25. Geeselad
    How very dare I! No room for cynicism here.
