I've never been offered one or had one Phil, very hard to find record

Jock I saw this when it was first broadcast and I know I missed the end because I had to go and get the last bus from my girlfriends house, so this means that it was definitely not on on a saturday (when I'd have stopped over), it was either a sunday or early weeknight.

Must have been a bootleg then cos you're looking at at least £400

I know, and I think you almost agreed with me which was another reason why I was a little confused

Who is saying anything about Northern records having to be fast and have breaks? You. Some of my favourite ever Northern records, Sherlock Holmes - Standing at a standstill, Natural Four, Joe Douglas etc - love to see people doing stupid acrobatics to those...'soul music' like Hamilton Movement leaves me stone cold, but so what, why should you worry about what I and other people like and don't like and come on here and spout off about it as if you're the Lord Of The Dance just leave people alone because your opinion means absolutely f*ck all to anyone except yourself. It's really annoying when certain people come on here and define soul by their own terms and if other people don't agree with it they are somehow inferior or 'dinosaurs' or whatever.

Yeah so am I

I understand that Chalky and I know some terrible records were played, but to say half of the output was crap just isn't right. 5% maybe.

AH I see. Hadn't seen your earlier posts.

Yeah I thought he was great, and really enjoyed the film, just found some of the dialogue a bit tricky to hear

I need to see that!

I respect your opinion but find it totally forgettable. I have no idea how it goes despite listening to it yesterday apart from a corny spoken intro.

It needed subtitles for half of James Brown's lines

Well it was part of a 3 hour compilation...and was very hard to find

There's a review I did of this somewhere. The bit I enjoyed the most was the girls line dancing. I used to put this on the old VHS compilations back in the 90's.

Stands to reason, if someone sees a record going for big bucks, they try to get the same, strike while the iron is hot

I've seen that article before, someone else must have cut it out of the paper because I'm sure I saw it on Ebay, years ago

Well how can you say half the records played at Wigan were crap if you didn't go? How do you know they were played there? By all means say a record is crap but don't try and tarnish it with the old Wigan brush. Do you want me to go to a venue where this Hamilton Movement is playing just so I can come home and say, yep, still crap?

It's just another nothing record like a lot of these are, might be rare but quality wise, sounds like £5's worth.
