    Re, people slagging newcomers tastes Its just passion really combined with frustration. I think for a lot of us that started on the scene in the 8ts, we came into the scene at a time when a lot of the, ahem, less soulful sounds had been dropped from playlists at nighters. So we were spared the like of peggy march, Holly st james ect. We saw that as progress. To have the often less than knowledgable returnees turn oldies nighters playlistss into something akin to wigan, circa, 77, was never going to go down well with me.

    you might be right, I never spent more than £20 on a record back then, so might of been £30, I can remember thinking that's a lot, wouldn't pay that much for any record, lol. My top spend was for Roy Hamilton - panic, the guy also had Sam Dees for £20. that would be around 88

    'Otis not the best artist on stax', blows your credibility for me, he is the king of soul IMHO, who on stax compares with that voice? that level of expression?

    Ok fair cop, dave still rules, couldnt remember the details but thought it relevant to bring it up.

    well I can remember Brownie paying £40 for it at the 100 club in about 87, you could have bought a lot of good tune for £40 back then, probably 4/5 Jeanette's anyway!

    Wasnt there a thread about an advert for a Manchester band who played at the wheel and used the term to promote themselves? Havent dreamt this have it? It preceeded godin's use in print by a couple of years. Thus disputing his first use in print accolade.

    Issue is rarer if this isnt?

    think we'd have a far better soul scene personally, the NS baggage isn't helpful. Hey maybe we'd even have a retro influenced yet progressive, cool, upfront scene where people could play what the hell they liked without someone saying "this isn't Northern!". People might actually know what soul is at local nights instead of confusing it a few colloquial pop records that were big in a few discos in the 70's.

    £400-450for a quick sale sounds realistic

    Love it, quality 70's pop rock. But at a soul night??

    The most insulting has to be 'got anything good?'

    Zoo even!

    Don't think Marvin would give a shit personally,. But the house I danced to 25 years ago had far more bollix than this insipid, smooth fm, fodder. Its not offensive, just bland, it's really in that, 'crazy world' groove, but it really lacks bite imho.

    Good trade, dogs is far rarer surely

    A stock reply you hear on this site, would be, Don't buy records that have been hammered to death over the last 40 years and therefore bootlegged or reissued. Try buying lesser know but great records that can be a fraction of the cost of the top 500 biggies. Just get digging on YouTube or discogs, check peoples play lists. There are literally millions out there.
