Cool Off- The Detroit Executives- nice tune terrible lyrics- 'you wanna make a blind man want to do this'!!! I was blind buying the thing in the first place

Great post Mike, I like you, as you know, have been into the scene for about the same time span, I too loved the days of Yate, Stafford etc and loved hearing the new tunes as I do today. I've never left the scene since I started in the late 7t's and now and again I get blown away by a tune I haven't heard before. What I search for these days is having a great night, out as I regularly do and finding a quality new tune to listen to. I find it harder to hear new tunes of the quality of bygone days but that is understandable due to the knowledge of the scene etc. The scene however is not only about the music as my friends old and new, are also a major force as I love to drive miles across our promised land to meet up with top people with similar tastes. It beats staying in a place you don't belong in!

I agree top tune- money shouldn't come into it- great soulful record to dance to up and down our wonderful land!

'Back Home' by the England World Cup Squad!

Is it possible for you (Vince) and Bearsy to hold a water pistol to my head because I'm sure I would get the message! Then I can get on with another hobby such as sharing a hot tub with my relatives!

Great tune- Si Preston's been playing it regularly down the Railway in Bournemouth- should get more plays- quality 7t's

Jamie Oliver I am not so should I put the record in a bag first before boiling, like I do my fish?

2 on ebay at the moment on contempo

look forward to seeing you both at Bridgwater as always

I'm humbled- you too mate- look forward to seeing you at a venue soon

Dear Ken yes great bunch of soulies in Plymouth- I have been to many soul nites down there over the years, alot of people from the area travel to other soul nites further north and their dedication is second to none. Always a good amount at the Bridgwater, Exeter , Weston Super Mare and Gloucester nites and further north than this. You'll love it !- all the best and keep the faith from Matt (Trowbridge, Wilts)

I Try to get to as many venues as possible whether DJing or not- enjoy the whole social event. Always good to hear what other people are playing out. Can't dance as much the older I'm getting- end up talking more! You can enjoy nites in different ways. Better always than staying in!

I paid £100 for mine- often play it out as it's a guaranteed floor filler! not so easy to find these days as in demand- best of luck!

First allnighter was Yate in 1980, record remembered was Cheryl Berdell's 'Giving it all to you'- it was massive back then. Great watching the ladies shuffle!!!

Been buying off Vince for years, has some great tunes for sale well worth a look, something for everyone. Best wishes on this Vince hope to see you soon.

Sell them back to the states and then they can sell them back to us!

Brilliant tune- great to see it being played again- would love one myself but pretty rare- brings me back to Stafford in the 80's

I have and love the record- brings me back to some great soul nites in the early 80's, the vocal is tops and a great ender.

Yes it was 'Why when your love is gone' by the Isley Brothers on Motown- great-oldie- had a dance to it myself

VINCE IS ATOP SOULIE HAVE KNOWN HIM SINCE YATE ETC IN THE EARLY 8T'S. ANYBODY WITH THE CASH SHOULD MAKE A DASH TO THE SOUTH COAST!!!- KTF FROM MATT (TROWBRIDGE, WILTS)
