Awesome choice mate.......... Russ

Three quality choices John, Edwin Starr in particular would have stormed the gaff, as it is very traditional, but what a sound..........thanks for posting mate. Russ

I love the Eddie Jasper Daye & the Four Bars, dont have the money for this right now (mores the pity), but wondered where & who played it first ?????. Russ

After a comment on a Look Back thread today, i thought the remark might be interesting as a thread on its own 'the new stuff thats around just don't cut it....would'nt have then and does not now...'. Now instead of this turning into a sh*t slinging contest, how about records from the last 10 years that could prove this remark wrong I'll start: Mello Souls Tommy & the Derbys Roy Roberts (Sugar) Sheepherders Johnny Praye There are loads n loads more including almost all 100 Club 45's. So c'mon lets post up the monsters from the last decade that would have also taken the roof off the WC. Russ

Message Untold is the bollox & someone should snap this up, they are ALL off centre, but its an easy fix so dont be put off............ Russ

Great tale Barry I was once Hitch Hiking to the 100 Club from Plymouth, dont know why, but for some reason back in the mid 8ts there was no transport out of Plymouth after 6.30 at night, as i didnt drive back then, after finishing my shift on HMS whatever..........cant remember now, i duelly stood on the slipway to the motorway waiting for my first lift, OMG not a sausage !, i had been waiting some considerable time when a wreck of a car pulled over up the road, i ran up & gave the driver the once over as i asked if he was going or could drop me near or on the way to London...........this was not the kinda guy i would have normally jumped into a car with on a dark Saturday night, however the 100 Club called & on a piss poor night like this was i might never get a another lift, so off we set for some where along the way............'weird bloke' then tells me he's just got out of gaol & has been on the rob all day in Plymouth, all the loot is in the back & do i fancy ought............i reply in the negative (politely) then matey says can you open the glove compartment & pass some pills..........this is when i realise that weird bloke' has the contents of the average pharmacy in there & it aint pharmacutical ! & he's armed to the teeth, i'm talking small seige size weapon...........he's popping this stuff like smarties & getting more irratic by the moment...........30 mins or so into the journey, he asks if i mind if we take a detour to drop off some tackle for his mate who's going to a Rave, realising as we hurtled along the Motorway at a vast rate of knots, i actually didnt have a choice i nervously agreed, no sooner had i done this when the car lurched irratically & took the next exit, the car was doing an amazing speed (as was the driver) & as we approached the roundabout at the bottom of the slipway from the Motorway it was obvious he was not going to slow down to negotiate it...............................bang, crash, wallop, fizz, pop, bang !!*^%$£*****$%!..........................car does something (?) then does a tripple backward somersault with Pike ending in a forward roll............the car was left upside down in the middle of the roundabout, i'm that suprised that i'm neither dead nor injured, that without another thought, i disentangle from the seat belt (thank god) & kick open the door, nighter bag in hand i quickly shout over my should 'alright mate' & when i hear some kinda response continued to sprint as quickly as i could, bobbing & weaving (just in case) as far away as i could from my friendly nut case !..............i would add that within 5 mins i came across a phone box & anon reported the accident. Anyhooooooooooooo whilst shaken, i am not deterred from my 100 Club mission & continue through the miserable night to the next slip road, where eventually a trucker takes pity & stops for me, i jumps in & he says he can drop me on the ring road into London.....................wayhay thinks i, small talk over, i end up avin a little kip, its hard work serving Queen & country & a welcome kip before the 100 Club was what i desperately needed............some time later friendly trucker gives me a knock saying we're there, & as i slowly pull myself from the depths of sleep, i realise we're at a service station & not in London................its fu**in' Crewe !!!!.......................... . I never did reach the 100 Club that night, but reckon i escaped death or at the very least a bum battering from the the drug crazed ex jail bird raver.............. Russ

Depends on the kinda NS night you are attending & the DJ you are asking, i personally try to be polite & find that saying the next DJ up has deffo got em, so ask him, helps.........even if it is BUTCH . Russ

When............???????????? Russ

Its not 'our' music, its for all to enjoy & was made with that intention..............my frustration lies in the fact, that the ethos the NS was founded upon, seems to have largely dissappeared, I'm talking about the passion for finding & playing to a wider audience relatively unknown artists & groups that deserved wider recognition. That should still be the main priority & there are thousands of records, CD's & MP3's out there yet to discover, if collectors & DJ's are on top of thier game they out there for all to collect, play, dance to & enjoy, regardless of your country of origin............ Best Russ

..............Bloody marvellous LP............good luck...........tis available on Jap CD tho aswell. Russ

R. L. Burnside (November 23, 1926 - September 1, 2005), born Robert Lee Burnside, was a North Mississippi hill country blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist who lived much of his life in and around Holly Springs, Mississippi. He played music for much of his life, but did not receive much attention until the early 1990s. In the latter half of the 1990s, Burnside repeatedly recorded with Jon Spencer, garnering crossover appeal and introducing his music to a new fanbase within the underground punk blues music scene. In 1998 R.L. released Come On In, which pitted his raw blues against modern electronica, courtesy of producer Tom Rothrock (Beck, Elliot Smith). The album was a critical and commercial success, and one of its tracks, "It's Bad You Know," became a respectable radio hit and was featured in The Sopranos and on its soundtrack. Hope this helps. Russ

Its LP only i beleive, the CD is every where, but i just picked up the limited vinyl. Not sure of exact details, but later than the 8ts deffo, the guy is dead now, but within the last few years i think.............i'll do some diggin' & get back to you. Russ

LEONARD ADAIR - THAT SMILE ON YOUR FACE - STAGE PRODUCTION Also need: MJ WADE - I'M GONNA BALL BABY - HELVA 12" please PM me with condition & price. Many thanks Russ

I think who ever told you that is bloody daft & as a definition its bollocks, altho some crossover can be played in both rooms, that is deffo not why the term was coined ...........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wonder who said that then. Hope you are well mate. Russ

Russ

Crossover is dance music isnt it.............altho different tempos are involved too.......... Russ

awwwwwwwwww c'mon thought i would have had a real debate raging by now...........BTW a very typical crossover sounding tune that we all know, is Lyn Verando - Wash & Wear Love........albeit it pre dates the term by some years when first played on the scene. Russ
