Just tried to listen to it............lasted 10 minutes before I had to turn it off.

My only recollection of this venue is this. My mate Dave Thomas persuaded me to go one night, but I can't remember the year. Anyway we hadn't a clue where it was, and we had persuaded a rich kid who had a car to take us. I seem to remember we found the club, or should I say we found the que that were waiting to get in. We lived in the sticks and were very naive, and the sight of what to us was a very scary looking crowd [i'm sure there was one guy dressed like Leo Sayer in the clown suit and full make up] had us heading back to the safety of the car and off back home. Then on another occasion I think we went again, but it had been shut down and there had been a fire? I was a right wus.

Me too Brian. But I can't take the credit for finding this gem, that was Mr. Searling who played it on his old radio show.

Come on lets have some that actually have a melody. This is the b*llocks.

I found it, but I already knew it as Bags and Beans. Very disappointing, and quite forgettable. Maybe it sounds better played out? Obviously a rare 45 though.

Thanks Karen.

Typical. Finally a tune I would like to listen to and it's not on you tube.

Remember Richard Searling playing this on his radio show. Blew me away. Great arrangement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AabjU4G7LSI David Porter - I Don't Know Why I Love You

Last time I had a look, everything was on buy it now.

Bloody awful record to my ears, so I wouldn't buy it at a tenner.

Blimey, he won't be having buns for tea tonight. Groovettes has plummeted in price since those heady days when some numpty paid £1500 for a copy. Eh Rod?

Come on Russ you'd be bored s***less without me stirring the pot. I think you don't want to give up on a scene that has been part of your life for so long. You obviously love the social aspect and have an amazing appetite for all genres of black music. It's not for me though mate. If there was anywhere playing new quality sixties I'd be there like a shot. As would hundreds of other people who have left the scene reluctantly, as the excitement of hearing the next must have tune have sadly long gone. I wish you well my friend, and admire your passion.

I agree wholeheartedly with your post, I think most of us who have been forward thinking throughout the years have gone through the same process that you are currently undertaking. The problems you will realise a few years down the line are these: 1. People have been going through the same process as you since the late 70's early 80's and will say things like "The tunes you are playing are all oldies, we were playing them in [add year of choice]" 2. At some point you will start to struggle to find anything new to you that has any quality. Because like I already stated, many have gone before you and will have tried them out at one time or another. 3. If you decide to move the goalposts and start to play other types of music i.e. Funk, R&B, Titty f***ing shakers or any other crap masquerading as northern, then good luck to you. 4. Unlike the majority on this forum I am of the opinion that there are a finite number of top quality 60's records that fit in the hard to define category of northern soul. That number was reached long ago. The scene resembles a patient on 24 hours in A&E. Laid on a gurney with tubes and wires coming out of every part of it's body, a small team of determined but sadly delusional people giving electric shocks and CPU in a vein attempt to start the scenes heart again. Enjoy.

It's actually a great beat to dance to Nev, but more than tempo, it's so moving you just have to dance. smileys are back, yaaahhh!

Think that was me that played it at Paul's do. Fred didn't have it then, he may have got one since then.

I once had a unreleased version on an old cassette tape. Bloody stomping production, fantastic. When I heard the released 45 I was very disappointed.

Steve G that was me that used to play it. I got the mint copy out of Tim Brown's collection and sold it with everything else on here. Went to a private collector who isn't on the scene for £2300. I also bought the poor condition copy off ebay, which went to Soul Sam through Manship who dicked me and made a huge profit, allegedly. Superb record in every way, and I also love the Blue Rock version. First person I heard play it was Butch, but that means bugger all.

I agree with all your points, but I don't have the disposable income to be able to collect rare vinyl, and I don't have the time or space required to be able to play vinyl on a good quality system. I totally agree that the sound of minty condition vinyl on a good system is the ultimate listening experience, and if money was no object then that would be my goal. In my own personal opinion, the playing of rare soul vinyl at home is partly responsible for some truly terrible Dj spots. What sounds good at home and what gets people up and dancing aren't the same thing.

Life is all about opinions Benji. I'm just expressing mine. I like to be involved in a heated debate, I never get personal. Unfortunately the smileys have disappeared on my iPad again, so I can't use them to lighten the tone. No offence intended on my part, just opinionated debate. Smiley.

That's a ridiculous analogy, there's a world of difference between the snake and Irma Routen. The example that Agentsmith has posted is a good one. That record was cheap and easily available because no bugger wanted it until Mr. Dobson played it. The finest example I have ever witnessed, was one night at Burnley, Fred Krol pulled Billy Davis - Stanky Get Funky out of his box and gave it a spin. F**k me! You should have seen the children of the night running up to the stage to see what it was. Now this was a record that was available from every record dealer for a tenner, until the day after the allnighter. You could not find a copy anywhere, because I tried hoping to make a few quid out of it. But I was too late. I rest my case.

We maybe talking at cross purposes here then, as I have only ever collected dance music that has blown me away. I used to collect records to listen to when I was very young, but as soon as I had experienced "northern" then I never wanted to own anything else. If by collecting records you mean to listen to while relaxing, then that's something I would never do. Records are for playing out, anything else you can hear on Cd or any other modern method. I bought records to Dj with, otherwise I would never have been able to spend the amount of time and money that I did. If you don't buy records to Dj with, then what's the point?

Here we go again........if they were any good I think they would have been played by now don't you? That's why all the tunes put up on this forum are either well known, or very average. If you had a real kicking tune that wasn't known, you'd be covering it up, not sticking it up on a public forum. If any youngsters are starting to collect records, they are going to want to own the records that move them. Not a load of third rate dirge that no bugger wants.

It's you that's talking b*llocks my friend. Just because a record is known about by a few chin strokers,who have been about forever, and can recite the credits of every record that was issued in the U.S.A. doesn't mean it has to remain the same price forever more. In the real world, people are looking for something different to play out. And here I have to say that the majority of these "new to the dance floor" records aren't very good in the great scheme of things. But once they get some attention, these records will always go up in value as others "have to have a copy" it's the way it's always been. Availability x Demand = Value And if Butch plays it x 10.
