Boll*x, that looks cool you lucky bugger....nice one. Russ

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! rUSS

Ditto ! Russ

Mine is pink then, cos its not orange. Russ

Whats the differece between the pink & the other colour label with the Pearl Dowdel ???? Cant remember what colour mine is, but dont think its pink !. Russ

Fantastic record, that never really reached its full potential, I was very pleased to snag one of the three copies Dave Thorley first found, never parted with it & has very fond memories for me.............thank you Dave. Russ

I need a copy of the Black Sugar 45 'Too Late', must be in good condition. Also could some kind soul PM with an Mp3 of this also. Many thanks in advance. Russ

Never ever seen one..........always wondered if it actually had a propper release........must be extremely rare as John confirms. Russ

Russ W deffo played this at Wigan, Im pretty sure it was on a normal night too & not a Mod night (which they did a few of from '79 or '80). It was a low point for me & the venue IMO, it was almost like desperation on the part of RW to appease the masses of 'new' Mods that had massed to Wigan after Quadraphenia............to be honest it was all a bit embarrasing & was not played in any kinda context what so ever. I kinda agree with Tony on this, but have no axe to grind, so if its boxed off then you choose to listen to what you listen to. What I do find frustrating is this constant knocking of anything other than straight up traditional NS................Modern, Crossover, 8ts, 9ts & contemporary soul are an integral part of the scene & have been since this kinda music was first being made & with each passing decade the scene to some extent has taken on 'some' of those releases which fit & have the x factor.........some people will hijack almost any thread to diss anything after '69.........get over it............BTW Pete has shown great restraint..........hope you are feeling well . Russ

Im a SS addict.....................fantastic sight in every way...........great thread BTW Paul. Mike & the Mods keep up the great work, It must be a real labour of love sometimes, but I for one couldnt do without the sight now. Thank you. Russ

James (Mr Soulfingers) Arnold - Your Chain of Love - JE - EECA - EX+ CON 100UKP (Slight Flaking to B side label) Seen today at 150 UKP for a lesser Con Copy. Great deep flip too ! Russ

Received...........thanks Russ

Can anyone pse email or PM me an Mp3 of this pse. russvuptownsoul@msn.com Thank you. Russ

What a brilliant post Melbrat & just about sums it all up really. Fom Guy originnaly, then others.............. 'Wait for the Beat' From Keb at the 100 Club.............'You's aint travelled hundreds of miles to sit on yas's arrses..............git ooop an dance' slightly more x rated but that was the gist............Excuse my appalling accent BTW..........funny thing tho', people did LOL. Sean Chapman................'Lets 'ave ya'..........Where did that awful catch phrase come from Talking about DJ monicas on the NSC the USA DJ's will usually have a 'stage' name, for example. DJ Midnight Cowboy DJ Agent 45 Mr Finewine Marco Hammond Miss Shingaling And there are many many others on the soul & funk scenes in the US. rUSS

Holy quacamole..........H now there's an idea & one that has always worked in my experience, one scene, one soulful groove, all of us on one dancefloor, enjoying soul music from whenever, all that is needed is the X factor. Ill get me coat . Russ

I think he'll be back Ken.............again . Good to see you Sat mate. Russ

Ay up Kev...................hope ya well, what you been up to...........been awhile. Both Rob & James are good people, its all a storm in a teacup & Im sure all concerned will be laughing about it soon. Its only a record after all. Russ

Yeah, you should be pal this is all part of the scene & has been since the word go..............we wouldnt have a scene if collectors & DJ's stopped the quest for new discoveries & DJ's stopped being passionate about them..............the business between James & Rob has gone on in varing forms between DJ's for years................these day's tho everyone knows about it cos we discuss it on a World Wide Forum. If you enjoy ya self mate............then good on ya..........but if everyone had your opinion the NSC wouldnt exist. Russ

I think your statement about JT is arrogant actually..........shall we all kiss & make up, after all its only a record ........at the risk of repeating myself at least the man has got some passion for the NSC not like some of the boring f**kers just going thru the motions...............I remember all the fuss about Irish Greg when Ady instated him as a resident at the 100 Club..............sure this is just a similar thing & will blow over soon. Russ

Gotcha matey. Russ

Hey Simon..........wondered what this meant mate ????? Russ

Winsford I think mate, was there, where were you Saturday ????. Was hoping to see you at Crossfire. Russ

Yes it does, last time I looked anyway Mark.............maybe RB should have bought it I noticed it cos I was looking on the website for 5oul something or other ot of interest as I dont have that kinda money..........if I did it would be invested in vinyl. Russ
