--> 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.

I have been asked by a member of this fine forum [baz] and others in the past, if I would publish playlists from my Soul Salvation night. In my own humble opinion I think they are a bad thing. As I've never read one and thought, wow, I must go there. And at an upfront venue like mine, where there are so many little known tunes, and, wether you like em or not, cover up's played, I can't really see the point. Just imagine Butch's play list at Lifeline, c/up c/up c/up etc. And I've also found that most dj's can't be bothered to let you have a playlist after the event. For what ever reason, too drunk, high, can't remember. That's just my humble opinion, but I'd love to hear your views. Maybe you can change my mind. So good thing or not?

I quite like it but it's nearly imposible to dance to.

Mmmm, not a patch on this i.m.h.o. www.freewebs.com/soul45s/

HA HA HA ! Fantastic post, cheered me up no end.

Thanks Mike, you're a gent, I'll inform Paul. Phil.

No mate, not on commission, but he has put some of my 45s on there for me. And I couldn't find my original post to reactivate it.

I maintain a box soley for dj'ing, but it's quallity over quantity for me now. And the box just get's smaller, as everything that I hear and must have, seems to be £1000 + I always did have expensive taste, so I have to sell, in order to buy. You can only play about 24 records in a spot. So I can't see the point of dragging 500 around with you. Besides, I like to keep changing em, keeps the spot fresh. Just bought an 80 box, but it only holds around 60. There was so much packing in the old box it looked silly when open. This will probably do me for my entire collection, unless I win the lottery, and can afford to actually keep some. I am going to be stuffed if there is a big drop in prices though.

Just had a look at Paul Harris's new web site. For all things rare soul vinyl, sales, news etc. Have a look at www.freewebs.com/soul45s/ and stick it in your fav's. I can't wait for the venue reviews. Phil.

Think you've misunderstood my point mate. I love the record, but don't want to pay over a grand for one, only to find that it's turned up in quantity. I'd rather wait in that case for the price to drop. And, there are also many rare items that I don't like, so, no need to take offence at a perfectly reasonable question. I just don't want to get burned, "again" that's all. Phil.

Had a copy in my sales box for eons, just could not sell it. Swaped it to my mate last week, he swaped it to Pat Brady. It's on his auction now. There has been 2 copies on ebay not long ago, both went VERY cheap, not much interest. Heard it played out recently, may have been James Trouble. Suddenly everyone sems to want it. Have a look on Pat's site, can't see it making a big price on the auction, but you never know. Good look anyway. Phil.

Just thought I'd let all you vinyl junkies know, that my good friend Mr. Paul Harris, has got his new web site up and running. I'm sure you will find it interesting, informative, and maybe find that elusive want that you've been searching years for. www.freewebs.com/soul45s/ Phil.

Just wondered. Saw that Pete Smith was offering a copy on here, then I got a list off Ian Clarke, he's got one, and now there's one on ebay. Just a coincedence ? I thought that it was dog rare. I was thinking of buying one, but not so sure now. Anyone know anything ? Phil.

There's a guy in the states selling them on ebay. Can't remember who now, but I bought some copies off him a couple of years ago. He recond they were a limited press and he even had some on red vinyl. The sound quality was very poor I thought, but the flip is really nice. I sold them on as they seemed to be everywhere, and as I said before the sound quality was poor. I think it was released on an aniversary 45 also can't remember the venue.

Hi Dave, I think Kev Murphy has an issue. Phil.

FANTASTIC

I didn't think anything to it when I heard it, but if Chris says it's a grower, then that would explain why it sems to be so highly rated. I must admit it did sound better loud when somebody played it at lifeline last Saturday. So I'd better reserve judgement on it until I've heard it a few more times. Phil.

This is one of those records that sounds crap when played at home, but blasted out in a club, FANTASTIC. I had 2 copies in my sales box for yonks and never had a sniff. Then somebody played it at Bury town hall, and I sold them both instantly. Two guys who had looked through my box many times. mmmmmmm.

Hi Steve, I just have a small amount of 45s now, and constantly have to sell to buy. Try to keep my spot quality, but quality costs big time these days. In fact I've just pulled a load out to sell, got my eye on 3 big ticket items that I just have to have. Also my credit cards have taken a right battering. Haven't a clue how I'm going to pay them off, ever. And I'm not joking Phil.

Yes, I've been getting them off Guy for groovy grooves. I don't mind the texts on my mobile, In fact I've copied the idea and sent them out for my Soul Salvation nights. It's actually a brilliant idea and has deffo worked for me. The voice messages however should be stopped as they are a real pain in the arse, and I'll be telling Guy so when I see him. Phil.

I'm always worried that I'll get too carried away and fall down them steps.

Blimey, I always thought that the Nags Head was in Peckham. The dance floor at my do [ Burnley Cricket Club ] is excellent and doesn't need talc. And if you don't believe me, come and have a go if you think your up to it. [ blatent plug ] Phil.

Carol McCarthy end of discussion. But I think that today,the girls are better dancers,because they are much fitter than us blokes.

Hi Chalky, Think you are right, mines a demo with CAN in the title, never seen an issue. Personally I love the record and play it in my set a lot. Goes down well, very rarely see it for sale. Phil.
