Definitely Kenny Ballard but I don't think it's on the tape with Footsee etc, must be a different one I posted up

Ian's wrong Tone.

Danny Williams is, 1 bid of 9.99, 5 days to go. PJ Proby not on there but scheduled to go on thursday night for 7 days. Doing them in label order.

I must get my 2 year old in here and stress to her that when she grows up, she must never buy an evil bootleg or goodness knows what it could do to her integrity.

You're right, that 50% aren't interested in soul forums at all, let alone records and labels. It's such a boring, overdone thread, no wonder people get fed up reading the same thing over and over again. Half the people don't care about OVO and the ones that do should surely know which venues to pick to hear their music from original vinyl only, shouldn't they?

Alleluyah!

Decided to put all my unsold UK label records on ebay and start every one at £9.99, the first batch ends at around 6.30 tonight, then there's ten or a dozen most nights of the week for the next month or two, so if you want to see what's there, here's the link https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/mayfairmenthol/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1 it includes Northern, beat, psych, girls, the stuff that's been featured on those films I made mainly. Plus many are buy it nows. cheers Pete

I'm sure he really cares. I've got a 5 year old who likes playing the Joe 90 theme on a Casino Classics blue vinyl record. It's the only record he likes. I wouldn't let him play the Pye original.

No you're missing the point - I'm saying that this 50% of people don't care if the sound comes of a laptop. You can't make them attend an OVO venue if they have no interest in the format. For a lot of people, and I will include myself in this, for maybe 5 years Northern Soul was the most important thing in my life, the be all and end all, but that was f*cking ages ago, I was a young man then and had different priorities. Now I'm middle aged and don't have the passion I had 30 years ago. It's the same for many many people. Their first priority is not Northern Soul or the format that the music is played off anymore, it's their kids and their grand kids, which is why discussions like this make people shake their heads in disbelief that grown adults spend their time arguing with each other over 7" pieces of plastic.

Have you never thought that 50% of the people who attend events, do's, whatever, don't actually care about the things that you care about so passionately Russ? Although you may find it hard to believe, many people want to go out, have a drink and have a dance and meet old mates, and that is their bottom line, and there are a huge amount of people like this. There's nothing you can do about it because that is just what the public wants. * not necessarily me

Dave - or anyone else - if you are still stuck for this, send me a PM but put your email address in as some PM's have not been accepting the file

Saw him at Goodyears not long after I moved back. Always remember him for wearing a T shirt with SOUL W-TON on the back.

Don't think so, but the problem is, I spent 18 years away from Wton and in that time I forgot most people, not seeing them week in and week out, now I meet people for the first time in years and of course I only remember them from the last time I saw them, in 83-84...no wonder I never recognise anyone.

Round of applause for a sensible post. Horses for courses.

Yes he was. He relieved me of ten bob on our own coach!

Had the same problem with "Patto", remember him. Last saw him in the enclosure at Molineux, 1982 I should think, 3 or 4 Chelsea lads started on innocent bystanders and he was one of them, several people joined in and the Chelsea were carted off.

I heard it twice I think and caught both plays on tape, second tape is the night Archie Bell was on, something like June 3rd 77, played as The Tiffanies I think

It's actually got Lets Have A Love In inst on the other side - same colour label as the first Bok To Bach bootleg though

No, it has to be a MAGIC shed Chris

Hang on.

Russ I pm'd it to you

I didn't think the original could be topped but I prefer this new version, the upfront horns make it much punchier. I know I'm a f*cking dunce sometimes but I always thought this was a girl group!

Which is the vocal of Soul Symphony...

Oops Soz, did I sell you one?

File Deleted. Sorry. I'll put it on my next podcast if you can't get hold of a copy.
