I should add, more djs like you that are given a chance on the soul scene and getting regular gigs. There are definitely great djs out there but they are ignored. Not enough individuality for me. Djing is a fantastic creative action and should be really personal. I would never in a million years buy what other people play because its popular and gets a good reaction. I find it very hard to go to events these days as I can't respect djs thst are simply going through the motions. Tbe best thing is, I could put a night on in Manchester next month in a top venue with an amazing exciting dj line up and hardly anyone would come.

I think the issue is there are only a handful of people that dj and are genuinely ahead of the game. And it's only years after they are appreciated. Promoters have to please the masses and the masses aren't interested in new exciting stuff. I always loved the stuff you played Paul (as you know) and if there were more djs like you about then maybe I'd dust my dancing shoes off and get out again. Unfortunately, I can't see that happening.

Same here. Had multiple phone calls and texts politely informing me it was on. Avoided it like the plague. It simply can't be caught on camera as it's far too diverse and means different things to different people.

I feel lucky to have caught the arse end of it all ten yrs ago. Some great nighters such as Middleton and CIS as well as sheridans, goldbourne, etc. And also some really great, cool people. The coolness has well and truly gone now. And that plays a big part in attracting and then keeping a younger crowd.

The scene is dead y'all. All that's left is an ageing nostalgia scene or young ish djs that collect multi genre soul music and play it in bars and clubs to people that enjoy it but aren't fanatical. The days of any kind of mass underground music scene are over. Just take comfort in the fact you were all part of something magical that has never and will never be seen again.

Act III should be snapped up. Great tune.

Great record. Deserves some attention.

Great tune Mr Maxwell you deep soul diva

After a half decent road bike if anyone has one for sale? 58cm frame

The dj day mix of marvin gaye is amazing. Not clued up on edits at all but really love that one.

Really? That's put me off slightly then. Thanks Mr Belson you gospel funk nut job. Think I'll get that Robert Francis lp instead.

Looking for a copy of this for a reasonable price. Please Pm if you can help. Paul

Difficult to price this so going to open it up to offers. A true rarity that is known to only a handful of people that have copies. Take my love, is a masterpiece in my opinion. Totally the right sound for today. Lovely sweet flip too. Offers over £250 - however, will sell to the first decent offer. Condition is ex https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wKtacLsANNo&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DwKtacLsANNo

Now sorted.

When's the next one chaps. Looks like a great event.

Bought it blind so fingers crossed it's half decent.

Seemed to get a bit of attention 18 months ago. Quite a few European guys are playing it. Great record.

Just picked up this hopelessly obscure offering. Nothing online at all apart from one popsike hit from 2 years ago. Anyone familiar with this record and can shed some light on artist or label? Paul

Still looking. ...
