No you were right Steve, if you put yourself out there people are within their rights to comment, the pants have been offered their own show by the way

I absolutely love this song, it's one that I can remember Tony Blackburn playing on his breakfast show while we were getting ready for school back in 1967, only after hear it and I'm 7 years old, back in our little council house on the Bull Meadow estate...

I use it, nice bunch of people but get very very few sales from there

Wasn't too convinced about the film clips. Bloke starts dancing, another one steps out from the sides to join in, then three or four more do - it just didn't happen like that, you had to do an apprenticeship, the older guys would not accept little div kids straight away, it took months and months to really get in there with the main crew. And that guy dancing on his own doing those 'look at me' gestures, what was that all about? (nb I do realise it's a film and not a documentary and the need to take some poetic license - just saying thats all) And back to the documentary piece - yet AGAIN concentrating on a style of dancing that was all over by 1977 unless you turned up at the Casino on the two nights that they filmed in there, acrobatics had practically died out except for spins, but over those two nights, it was back again, and now in 2013 everyone's going to think that we dance and dress exactly the same as we did in 1976 and that's just not right.

True. About 50/50 I'd say. I went for an exactly a year without touching anything. The one night decided to do it just because the others were doing it. Worst decision EVER.

She got that from Keb, Keb's on camera many times saying that he got most of his moves from watching Kung Fu and taking lessons, maybe that was the thing for their group and she remembered it well. I thought it was excellent by the way, apart from the fact that we saw so many people dressed in baggy trousers and circle skirts, are there really that many, or did they just concentrate on the few and make a big deal of it? I had a call from my Mom after it ended and she said she really enjoyed it but I got the third degree about drugs, I said you know I took them and she said "yes but I thought that was just the once, no wonder you only weighed 7 stone taking those daft slimming pills"

He said Vel Vets and they played Vel vets.

It's all fixed price Vince. But you can mark stuff for offers so there's some margin for discount etc.

Have packed in Ebay Vince. Give Discogs a go. No listing fees, 8% final fee, and you are allowed to leave negatives for buyers. Also if your buyers p*ss you about and don't pay up, they are automatically left a neg. Wish I'd done it ages ago.

They have 'reunion's. What's the difference?

I've still got Can't Help Thinking About Me on original 1966 pink Pye if you haven't got it Tezza. Way things are going, it'll be up for sale soon. I have had every UK Bowie release on original, but I've had ten times more bootlegs, we collected anything and everything, makes me quite ill thinking of how much money's worth of Bowie records I let my ex wife keep without a struggle...drag sleeve, Deram lp, Philips lp just to name three

Quick shout to say that the Emanuel Laskey I bought, described as EX-, was absolutely faultless and was the best copy I've ever seen. Thanks Azza.

More interesting watching Steve Eckersley getting stuck into Kev Keb, wow.. quote: he doesnt answer my questions I pose on his youtube videos! he gets his mate to reply. He was a second wave Northern soul DJ turned funk turned what'ever happens to be popular! Decides to reinvent himself back into Northern playing Bootlegs because he was living off his past success then decided ah lets have some 50s rockabilly style beat cos the girls will dance to that! Cant fault his enthusiasm but his explanations are as contradictory as the Japanese singing Led Zeppelins Black Dog It just sounds so humerous.

Delphi just a local label release picked up by the larger Jubilee label.

Be interesting to know exactly what percentage of people on the "Northern Soul Scene" actually do come on Soul Source. 10% maybe?

The majority of returnees have already got bored again and left Russ, I recently went through my mailing list and over 700 had email addresses no longer working and nearly all were from the days of 2000 to 2005, after that I never ehard from most of them again. It was they who provided the massive boost in the late 90's, but without them, everything is shrinking back towards the first few post-Wigan years in my opinion.

I'm like that - it's not that I can't take it - it's just that I know if I don't immediately either log off, or shut down the topic, I end up saying something or doing something I know I'll regret, so I go away for a while, come back and try and reply calmly. So actually maybe I"m not like that - but it looks like I am, if you see what I mean.

Not had this for a year, barely used it at all, bought a bridge camera so don't need this one now, it still has it's box and all the attachments, software etc, £30 plus £4 postage, looks identical to the one below, same colour, this was £115 when I bought it, I think you can get one for £75 now if you shop around.

Can't see that ever being booted mate. Fantastic record but surely not rare enough to warrant a bootleg.

August & Deneen had a very long shelf like though, 74 to 77 when it was issued on UK, long time in those days

It's 75 mate, trust me. Come On Train was well over by 76.

We all did that Len, but we didn't all aspire to be dj's, just getting the dj at your youth club to play the records was an achievement though we were lucky with our resident dj, he'd play anything we gave him

You only have to watch the Manship auctions every week to see that no work whatsoever goes into getting rare records...or even common records. People with so much money that they don't care if they pay 3 or 4 times the records value. It's like - if you gave me £50,000 say, within 2 months I could have a collection of super-rare top sounds, does this automatically promote me to being a top dj - of course not! And thats the problem - people who spend loads on records suddenly becoming dj's...without putting the time in.

I know people are being slagged off for playing pressings and the like, which people say shows little imagination...but what about the well known dj's who've paid top whack for a record and therefore they think they have to play it in every set they ever do?
