the one thing the influx hasn't seen is growth in discoveries or even under played oldies, evidencing what many are stating as a lack of real passion for the music from what we describe as returnee's but actually only ever got as far as the youth club.

it might be fair to say we all started as divs in one sense, unfortunately it seems we so many permadivs these days.

arh but 10 % of something is better than 100% of nothing at all

fair point indeed.

This came up on the clapping thread, for me a Div is anybody deemed to be not clued up on the scene, there's certainly plenty of evidence we have many without a clue, check the comedy sale of the day thread for instance. it seems to me to a large extent, at least in the mainstream areas of the scene the divs have well and truly arrived. The term plastic seems pretty appropriate as many seem to think you can buy an off the peg lifestyle from an online shop, that like the records many they play are pale imitations of the scene's underground heritage. please discuss and enjoy.

interesting parallel on the early house scene many used to do fast, double clapping, as in latin music, usually in an instrumental passage.

didn't attend but have heard it on Stafford tapes, keb encouraging with 'let hear those hands clapping'

try this, ive had it on both sceptre and wand https://www.discogs.com/BJ-Thomas-Everybodys-Out-Of-Town/master/781430

was going to say album only but looks like it came out on a foreign ep too.

and don't mention Craig, f***w*tt Charles!

be interesting to hear what top rock and roll dj's get paid , or any other equivalent scene, mod or phyc for example, the comparison with dance music is a misnomer imho, club nights usually revolve around a single guest, with a much bigger pull for a much higher fee. thank god we don't have superstar soul or funk DJ's yet!

any excuse to shoe horn it in really

try this, THE version for me, and cheap as chips

having been involved with an oldskool club nights over the last 5 years ago the costs are do differ. we I paid a minimum of 800 for a name guest dj and 500+ for light/system of the quality needed for these events, people want to feel, not just hear the music. this was for a small venue, that had a capacity of 120- tho we did sneak more in sometimes. £15 was our top ticket price, so the budget was really tight. Not that many club nights or DJ's can get the ticket price they used to justify, 10/15 or even 20 years ago. I have my Hacienda new years '91 ticket stub priced at £15, a fortune, they all sold out in early Dec. that seldom happens anymore.

nighters should be at least a tenner, cant see how they could be run for less. Great to go one for free on sat though

you can add I will fight, from same album

oh dear, do you know he's just made that up then?

is this the same Zudan as earls inc/ marsha and delwads mate? apologies seen it on ogs now.noneed to reply.

not sure I'd class the checker and modtown set ups as majors, just reallybig and successful indies?

Top post man, very knowledgeable, didn't know Brunswick was a subsidiary of Decca and thought I heard Ray Charles owned Tangerine? at some point at least, or was it a sub run by him, in terms of a and r ect?

Pete's Capitol mix helped to inspire this the theme for this topic, apologies if done before, but here we go. Which major from the 60's had the best/ most prolific black music output? personally Brunswick instantly springs to mind, simply because I probably have more on my shelves than any other label. Obviously the carl Davis connection and Jackie Wilson help in Brunswick's case, but I'm sure you'll come up with other artists and producers who assisted in the output of wonderful records from a particular major. Some Majors used subsidiary Race labels like MGM's Verve, how did this effect the black music output of the parent label?
