    Virtually everything Craig Charles plays is an edit, non new releases anyway. I've often wonder who gets paid, the editor or the artist?

    Hopefully by non soul folk but sad non the less

    Only had this experience once, in stockport, but generally I'm not on my own and either me or my mate know someone. But there are plenty of places I could get that vibe, if I didn't know anyone. I eluded to this in the thread, on the people over hyping, intergalactic soul festival year 2030! then it's them and their mates again.

    I know it from oldskool BMX sites, where it's over used to the point of ridiculous. Not heard it used in records context much. If you think record prices are silly, you better check out that kids bike in you shed it could be a ' survivor' they pay very well for rust!

    Sounds like a great night!

    £40 was the lowest I saw it go.

    Both cuts renowned as underground disco classics, real anthems from the paradise garage, loft, warehouse and power plant.

    If that is the case, then why not be honest with the punters, I'd appreciate it. I suppose it's the very anathema to the way promotion is done, and not realistic.
  9. Geeselad
    It's a fair point, I'd not really seen it from that perspective, but given venues circumstances I'd have thought they weren't In a position to ask for such indulgences from promotors.
  10. Geeselad
    Never considered this, might be the reason some promote in this way, but I doubt it.

    In the full time professional business of northern soul? Or is it the northern soul industry now?

    Couple of annual events, I was interested in going to, recently started to promote next year's event, straight after this year's had finished. I've seen this as a growing trend. Tbh, it's put me off; early bird ticket systems, no cash, accepted, sold out months in advance, same cliques, same faces, exclusivity and the loss of the spontaneous night out. A promotors dream but as a punter I'm just not into it. Your thoughts appreciated. Don't need to be specific and use it as an opportunity to grind an axe, it's a general trend for sure!

    Great article that, was aware of half, the rest are all very early pre 64 and not of a great deal of musical interest beyond Detroit collectors I guess. The myna birds got a reissue on a CD some years back of interest as a real musical curio and 'what if' piece.

    There power in the music, if you just open your mind.

    I was going to start with that myself! Good call

    Been a lot of talk of water damaged stock, and whatever the reason , what titles have you spotted multiple of, that have suffered from damage through H2O?

    I asked Sam if he still had his at Whitchurch, long gone he traded it for job opening among other.

    Arin demain seems cheap by today standards

    I wise man once said; ' never judge a man by the width of his trousers''. The clobber does get jumped on perhaps unfairly, but it's perhaps symbolic of the disenchantment many feel about the scene and it's obsession with nostalgia rather than the music.

    I remember having TF for trade at a nighter, Bedford maybe? Guy was after it, ended up trading it for a mint big daddy Rodgers, Guy was gutted said he'd have given me three copies of BDR, for the TF. Must have been a little local hit anyway as it's never surfaced in large quantities, that copy was knackered too.

    Think I remember reading the same somewhere, that's probably what set this train of thought.

    Just saw a Hank Jacobs, just like mine, pretty beat up but still playable. I've noticed lots of others that always seem to show up in rough condition. Prescions, such misery is another, I'm guessing they sold relatively well at the time, rather than being found dead stock. Am I correct in my thinking?
  24. Geeselad
    Not sure if I've got your point there, there were absolutely loads of releases on major labels, Columbia, MGM ect in the 60's, possibly outweighs the amount released on independents in the 60's.

    Listening to the glitter band will make you blind, mate.
