Jeff, I wish I'd known about this earlier. I've just paid far more for a copy of this. This is a bargain, and for anyone that doesn't know it, go to john manships rarest of the rare and have a listen. Top tune that's gettin' attention. Phil.

My sister gave me the, This is Soul LP, when I bought a knackered dansette and fixed it up. She had moved on to prog rock, and the bloody hippy movement. She never recovered I'm ashamed to say. She still has no taste in music. Anyway I was hooked, the first LP I actually bought was the Temptations greatest hits 2. I can still remember every word, and I did, literally wear it out. [they were a bit weighty in the tone arm them dansette's] Phil.

Sorry Stuart, I didn't make myself clear. I'm on about my Techmics 1210s that I use out. Not at home. I'm not interested in scratching either, just playing 45s and dancing to 'em. But with the cost of rare vinyl, I'd like to think I was looking after other peoples records, as well as my own.

What a shame, I thought this was going to be a really useful and informative post. I am using Stanton 500s myself, as I was lead to believe they were ideal for playing 60s styrene & vinyl. It just seems to me, that what one person recomends as THE one to use,the next person says, is completely wrong. Very confusing, and I'm no wiser than I was before. I think there must be a misunderstanding between "best sound reproduction" and "least damage done to precious styrene/vinyl" Maybe the cart that gives fantastic sound quality, will also wear your 45s out quicker. The wear factor has to be the most important for us. I'm sure I saw some for sale that were reputed to cause zero cue burn. But if memory serves, they around £100 apiece. I'll try and find them again, and report back. I just thought, surely a gap in the market for one of the manufactures. The perfect cart for 60s & 70s styrene/vinyl [great repoduction and zero wear] could call it the utopia, or the flying pig, or does it already exist??

Hi Chris, I think I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Have been told by a good mate, that the pub on the friday night [lifeline] was fantastic for sales. :angry: Where as I was in the record room on saturday. BUGGER Have sold a few on here, but if anybody else wants the list, just email me. Philsoul45@aol.com

Hi Stitch, I thought that £700 was priced to sell for a minty copy. I have been offered £600 cash. Best Phil.

Is that you Mr. Brown? nice to see you on here, even if you are being very cheeky. I know you struggle to get out on Saturday nights, but I've got Dickie Watt on next month again. Not to be missed mate. I've been spending huge sums of dosh [that's why I'm selling] and Cliffs been very busy vinyl wise. Gonna be fantastic.

Blimey, thank god for that. I've been re reading Niel's post over and over trying to decifer it. Thought I'd lost it, what the hell are you saying Neil. Aren't you a teacher? Just to clarify an earlier point AGAIN When you are promoting an event that's trying to play "lesser known" oldies. How else can you discribe what's on offer, other than "upfront", or "real deal" and not get punters in who want to hear "VERY well known oldies". Nobody is trying to sound elitist, I don't get upset when promoters describe their events as "accross the board" or "classic oldies" On the contrary, it saves me going, and being disappointed. I was off the scene for twenty years and judging from what I've heard since I came back, I missed the best period for new discoveries. So there's lots of stuff that's new to me. But I appreciate that it's old hat to some of you. I'm with Joan and Paul S.

Have to find some cash, so must go, HYPERIONS - WHY YOU WANNA TREAT ME THE WAY YOU DO - CHATTAHOOCHEE M- £700 Thanks for looking, Phil.

Not good Chris. Made a few quid, but spent a bloody fortune. One step forward and three steps back. :angry:

Just refreshing this for those who missed it.

A mate of mine asked me to try and find him a copy. TOMMY DODSON - ONE WAY LOVE - UPTOWN . Can anyone help please.

Hi Russ, James won't be able to answer you yet, I've just been talking to him at Prestatyn. Don't know when he'll be back. I just went down for the day. Just thought I'd let you know. Best, Phil.

I'll be taking these 45s down to Prestatyn tomorrow. Hope to see some of you there.

I've got to let some things go, so send me an email and I'll send you the list in an attachment. [microsoft word] Please download and print off. Philsoul45@aol.com Thanks for your intrest. Phil.

No problem Brian, I love to see young people embracing the scene. You will be welcome anytime mate.

Hi Chalky, Heard a story at Middleton on Satuurday night. Didn't get there till late myself, but had it from a very reliable source. During Paul Sadot's spot, he had someone waving a piece of A4 paper at him, with the words "PLAY SOMETHING WE KNOW" written on it. We all know that Paul tries his utmost to find fresh tunes to play. And I for one know how much it costs in time, effort and money, to put a good spot together, and keep it fresh. No wonder so many get disalusioned and pack it in. This is the reason that I started my own night. I'm not a promoter, and I couldn't give a stuff about making money. But I love this music, and I am providing a haven for like minded soulies. Some people on here have taken offence at my discription of the music we play. But if they haven't been and experianced it, how can they make a judgement. And the most disheartening thing has been lack of support from people who say they want upfront and rare venues. At least if my efforts fail, I will have tried. Phil.

Hi Brian, I run Soul Salvation @ Burnley Cricket Club, and Paul and his friends came down very late one night, and got in with no bother. Very few locals have been down, all are welcome. Most of my regulars travel in order to hear the rare and quality music on offer. I'd love to see more locals, especially young un's. Paul's a very nice lad, we have spoken on this forum. What a shame there aren't more like him. Come down Brian, and introduce yourself, I'll be on the door. Best, Phil.

Nice one Billy, pity about the intro though, would love to hear the full recording. It does sound excellent, I'm sure he must play it out, too good not to. 100 club maybe? ashamed to say I've not made it down there as yet. Phil.

Hi Karen, Enjoyed talking to you at Lifeline, hope you are well. Are you going to Middleton on sat. night? Anyway, if you are will see you there. Now then this record, quite a hard one me thinks. Don't know if this will help, but Ian Cunliffe had a copy for sale, but it was a while back now, so may well have gone. Anyhow he posts on here as iancsloft, so p.m. him, you never know. Hope to see you soon. best regards, Phil.

Dave, I've had so much stick about my signature that I've reduced it. :angry: By unpopular demand.

Thanks Dave, that's a nice answer. You know what they say, big signature[like big car] Phil.

Hiya chuck are you still up, hope you had a good un last night. Missed you at mine. Thanks for the answer to my post. Concise and to the point. Phil xx

Yep, I'd say you missed the point by a mile. Just using the Butch analogy as an example. Not to be taken literally. Quite a lot of c/up's played at my do that's all. Would you travel to a venue on the strength of a playlist? Or, on the other hand, would a playlist put you off attending a do? I have been put off by playlists myself. Better to just go and make your own mind up. I sometimes think that people are saying, oo look what I've got in my play box. Ego trip maybe? That's why I was asking for reasoned opinions. Phil.

--> QUOTE(Mike B @ Mar 6 2006, 01:04 AM) link We always put them up on our website after an event www.eastangliasoul.co.uk and often give an idea of the sort of stuff future guests will play - the reason being that the area where we run our nights is a bastion of the oldies brigade, and our aim is to try to play something different from the same old same old - in theory it works two ways - lovers of the sounds they heard at the youth club are forewarned and people who want something different know they can get it with us.... But do agree that with the likes of Butch c/u c/u c/u doesn't really take you anywhere.... I like playlists in the sense that it gives me a clue as to what I could expect at a club I didn't know that well.....also as a DJ I find it interesting to see what other people are spinning and the type of sets they are putting together (when they are sober enough to remember of course ) So for me playlists get the Cheers Mike Bolderson Some good points well put there Mike. But do you think that the oldies brigade would check out your playlist before attending, or not, I mean on a website? Have you ever had anyone attend your night, that said they had come, because they read your playlists? Phil.
