I love the Sandy Wynns, but it’s very tricky to dance to. In my humble opinion, that’s why it’s never been popular.

Some diehards are clinging onto a scene that, as Paul said, has run its course. It’s definitely a social thing these days. You can dress it up all you want, by playing different styles of music etc. But 99.9% of northern, for want of another word, has been played and replayed since the late sixties. But there’s no getting away from the one overwhelming reason for the decline in all-nighters, and not just in Manchester either. The age of the demographic, i.e. us. I reckon there will always be some kind of “scene” going on. The music is simply too good not to be loved by future generations. But it was a scene created from a period in time. And that will never be repeated again.

Kitch played it at Burnley a few times. I went mental.

That record is fantastic.

That's a good point Dave. My last lot of records were simply to play at my event. I couldn't really afford them, and as soon as the event was over, I sold them as soon as possible. I'm the only person that I've ever met, that admits they love Dj'ing. How often have you heard the old, "I'm not bothered about Dj'ing, I'm more of a collector, but people keep asking me." Yeah right, then they travel 200 miles to play in a little room to six people.

I never knew that was what happened! No wonder a lot of the records have sold by the time i get the list by email.

Not a collecting scene Dave, it's a Dj box scene.

She can’t sing.

No mate, not that one. It was a thread about the rarest of the rare.

Does anyone know how long threads are available for on this forum? Had a go at the search feature, but I must be doing something wrong, as I don’t seem to be getting anywhere. I remember a thread on here, about the rarest of the rare northern records, and I would love to be able to read it again. In particular, there was a record mentioned that was by a female group. I know, not very helpful. But there must have been a sound file of it somewhere, because I heard it, and thought it was very good. I have never heard the record played out anywhere, so must be proper rare. Any help in finding the topic would be much appreciated.

I always thought it was an acetate, if it’s a cover up, it must be incredibly rare to remain undiscovered for so long.

No worries Chris, just wanted to get the story straight mate.

Dennis Edwards, a Tim Brown discovery.

Must be lovely to have so much spare cash.
