just watched some of this, it aint half bad.... but what the hell is Phil Jupitus wearing btw? if I'd have done it I'd have gone to a decent nighter and interviewed people there, and outside the venue, then cut the relevant 'History' in.. make sure the presenter is seen having a drink, and in the receipt of some nice records, then at least well know he made an effort...

I think the inclusion of Phill Jupitus says it all, that said I haven't yet seen it, and I have to say I can listen to Robert Elms any time of the day.. I think the thing with these shows is the format they insist on sticking to, ok its its an archive heavy factual programme made from a diminishing pool of original content, which can only generally be illustrated with a splattering of talking heads, but if you want to see how well a programme of this genre can be made, look no further that Flame TV's ' Pump up the Volume' commissioned by channel four back in 2001/2, without doubt the best series on a scene I've seen. I think something along the lines of actually following some people to a nighter, with the history running parallel says allot more the viewer, there are tons of ways you can tell the story make it allot more engaging. You can pretty much guarantee they didn't bother thinking about that, and stuck to the same old..

I listen to the Richard Searling interview with Frank all the time, and in a way its kind of lead me to know him, obviously I don't and have never met him, but I'm really shocked by this news. Indeed an absolute legend in the history of Pop Music, all my condolences to his family and friends. Malcolm

that one on Ebay tuther week, had the full sound file which I managed to grab.... I don't have the money to buy one of these but at least folk can now hear it on their i-pods, if anybody wants the MP3, drop us a line with your hot mail or personal email account and I'll send it over with a scan of the track.

Love Chris Rea, think this was officially the flip to 'Road to hell', but this particular mix came out in 89, I had back then but now its a buggar to pick up again. Great memories of it being played at the Hummingbird in Birmingham at their early kipper nights.. M

Probably get some abuse for this, But I don't post anywhere else on the web, so when the mood takes me I like my early house or rave if you like... bit of fun, and f****** great music.. Rather nice French lady.. if anybody might have this 12' mix and want to sell it...I'm there... ex scooter boys...this used to get played at house clubs great dance track.. I must have played this solidly for a month when I bought it, still feel the same, a TUNE!! No other record ever, anything like this, original and totally brilliant.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p73S0BE13Xo What can you say about Renegade Soundwave? stick your chemical Brothers, they were not a patch on this lot!!! best for last, or nearly... this is the Jimmy Radcliffe of HOUSE... !!! absolutly BRILLIANT!!! Mal.C

anybody trade: Ralph Graham - Differently LP / Sussex (inc. Aint no Need) Vinyl M- Cover is sound just has a slight bit of water damage at the top, which has not broken through, if you know what I mean. Great LP with the original version of this song, miles better that Skye. for Les McCann - Sings the Hits (sad Little girl) on usa Limelight or Uk Mercury LP Mal.C

as one of the kids that was turned in the 8ts, I'd plum for Magic Tough as that LP in fact all the Kent LP's were hot property in 2nd and 3rd year.. which would have been 1982/3/4 The only other record which for me was as big maybe a tad later in 85/6/7 was Suspicion - which then was covered as the Detroit Prophets. Mal.C

same here, this track is brilliant..

Just got a Columbus Recorders Acetate of Rick Baker - that's called love, double sided per the released version I think, with 'Got You' on the flip, very interesting thing, wondered if anybody knows much about Rick, and Columbus Recorders? I know this was picked up in a Goodwill shop in Sacramento, CA. seller said there were several musically similar promotional, DJ-copy 45s from the same time period (nothing noteworthy) in the bin with it, all priced on the same day,so it is speculation that it came from the collection of an ex-radio DJ. Mal

:( :( :( :( just burst my bubble Krawen

god that really is tat isn't it... made me giggle though; its the sort of thing my mum used to buy from fates on a Saturday, she would just like the figurine, but would likely have no idea of the context.. I think this chaps trying to market his creations in the wrong place... he should target the WI. Mal.C

Wish I was there, great to sit down with a beer and listen to that lot..

same here, I'm essentially a sheep in a mans body.. but love Shirley alas I don't have the cash to take her out.. mal.C

Nora Lee - You Must Believe Me (Westwood) Just bought this Mark, cracking tune, but then everything that the impressions did is good init... Mal

Hard one isn't it, to be honest the room is a factor, I've simply run out of space in my home now, the ceiling is creeping with the weight under my bed, the shelves are full and my beautiful wife keeps telling me, do you need any new records? we all know the answer to that... that said, curiosity is getting the better of me, somebody must have had one, these things are always full of multiple items surely.. M

NORTHERN SOUL PACKS £100 inc P&P (overseas customers shipping price on request) After 22 years of offering 100 Northern Soul 45s for £100 we are forced to cease this pack due to increased costs and VAT. This is the last time they will be offered. Your last chance to buy genuine Northern Soul at a quid each. seen this today in sales, I've never bought one of these, but I'm tempted, had anybody? are they worth it? Mal

ahhh christ, i missed it, if your buyer does not come through bite your arm off for this, mal.C
