    the 70's were the most extravagant decade for fashion of the 20th century imho, never did designers get away with so much.
  3. Geeselad
    Fair enough, but its well documented and you can see facsimiles, of the worst of it, at a soul night near you, now!
  4. Geeselad
    Fair points indeed. Its a matter of context really.

    Those sample stickers were used to avoid vat in places like oldies unlimited weren't they?

    As i said its passion and i think a justified contempt at what some newcomers excuse for taste is.
  15. Geeselad
    Haven't we all?

    Quality classic, it was played regularly on the scene in the 80's. Far more relevant than many oldies given big plays today.
  17. Geeselad
    Problem is that records like our peggy and miss st james are often some the most popular oldies and can fill the floor more than the quality, proper rare oldies i grew up with, and thus have come to define what the scene is for many. Now that is shite! Even shitter than peggy march.
  18. Geeselad
    Well collecting records in general is becoming more popular. 60's and 70s soul and funk are more popular than they've ever been. Cant see why the two would make collecting on this scene decline. Hopefully many will see the light and collect the thousands of magnificent records that dont fall into nto the top 500 oldies.
  19. Geeselad
    This will do for starters.

    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.

    James brown at the Bridgewater, bout 2 years before he died. The originals at the ritz, never seen people gasp when i guy sung before! And lee feilds in Manchester last year.

    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
  23. Geeselad
