sposse the big news is that rare soul died around two years ago..........

do you mean number one fool? the vocla to Funky Chicken?

heard spanish maiden out and about a bit lately and no not just me, pow wow and diifferent strokes too in the last couple of months. good call on the herman hitson russ.

only on the us though I believe.

some one will surely make jackie moore a massive oldie again.

the outro to bud harper- wherever you were, has to be one of the best for me, he just steps it up a gear and gives it rock all! the intro to Pyramid is just so atmospheric it get me every time too.

heard it of and on over the years but hardly a staple, certainly needs to be, was it big at wig?

Drill holes are caused by the now endangered record worm, the record worm was rife in the early 70's untill a mass cull was launched by the then mninister for glitter and flares, marc Bolan.

try confunction- spirit of love, it got that vibe.....

really, Ive bought dance stuff off there for years and seldom have problems, cheap too!

I was turning this over the other night, I think its taken this long for the reccesion to hit, 3 years + of no wage increases for many has had a real effect, there was very few looking and even fewer buying @ pow wow on sat too.

thats a real shame, is it likely it was malicous or just an opportunist theif who hasnt a clue of their value?

I've had few bits over the years but two spring to mind; ruben wright - I'm walking out on you- uk capitol. that was the last record I picked out of a carrier bag amongst band aid and a few others 8o's pop in battered pic sleeves, the Rubin Wright didnt have a sleeve at all! but was still in Excellent condition! proving its always worth going through every unlikely bag or box. the other would be, Buddy Miles- Expressway to your skull,uk mercury, Sleeve a bit battered but I just love the record, some awsome hard funky gear on it.

1/3 mould and mildew remover, 1/3 glass cleaner, 1/3 water has worked reasonably well for me, I know the guys at vinyl exchange in manchester use a similar mix to above.

sure there was one on here last year, cant recall who or when, but I mentally noted it as I've never seen it for sale before either.

always loved this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb6nrjbHFbg was it played anywhere? wheel perhaps?

Surely he's Dave's brother?

hope these work,

amen, brother.

and mine.

post is going up though isnt it? from the 1st?

Its nice to respect other people's opinions, up to a point, I agree. However, I teach, and had a 6th former tell me the Beatles were shit the other day. I'm payed to be diplomatic, so said nothing, obviously. Iwont bore anyone with a cv of my musical obsession over the last 30 years but I think its fair to say my opinion is better qualified than the 17 year old, raised on rhcp and the lost prophets. Both you Davie and Ian are better qualified than me,in terms of musical taste I'm sure. But in defending this trite pop tune, and that's really what it is, you're selling short all the other fantastic tunes that didnt have an opportuntiy to be played that night and any other cheesy night it get plays at every weekend.The scene's never needed to be accessible, we've got Simon Cowl and god knows everywhere else for that, forgods sake. It needs, what its always needed, to be vibrant, relevant and most of all underground, to kick against the mainstream mediocrity.

this is my yardstick for soulful house, cant even call it bleeading garage nowadays! At its best,house can be as soulful and sublime as the finest the 1960's had to offer

despite still hating B.S. that's some articulate stuff wot you did say vere! seriously some very well reasoned points that are hard to argue with.

I know where your coming from Ian, guess that's why your in the industry and I'm not. What is and isn't terrible production is purely subjective anyway, I suppose I meant that I'd sooner hear a badly mastered, lo-fi production with great ideas than than some of the derivitive pap that seems to pass muster.
