    You would have stocked this album - Barry as the Kon Kord offering is a much later retake of the earlier seven's................hence the crisper sound.

    The Kon Kord issue is just a straight copy of the Brown Door album which is a very hard to find item these days.

    I remember Levine playing an alternate version of Cajun Hart`s "Got to find a way" about 10 years ago at a weekender and also on Searling`s Sunday show. He announced that it was a far superior version, no idea who it was but it was utter shite :lol: and an insult to the original.

    :hatsoff2:

    TBH Cajun Hart ain't much better !!!!! but not as bad as Bill Bush - "I'm Waiting"

    I'm waiting for somebody to tell me why it was ever played - it's pants !!!!

    Funk has always been played on the Northern Scene - it just depends on your definition of "funk"

    To me records like "Baby Boy" - Fred Hughes, "There Was A Time" - Gene Chandler, "I'm Gone" - Eddie Parker, "I Can't Get Enough" - Johnny Sayles, "The Champion" - Willie Mitchell all have a "funky" edge.

    Had the opposite happen to me at Imber one night.Someone opened a door,and it was room after room after room.

    After room.

    Not such a bad idea closing off a side room.Gives a chance to fill the main room for the last hour.thumbsup.gif

    My point being if you attend the event to be in the modern room or R&B room - whichever is your bag. The promoter then shuts them rooms - you have to then go into the main "Northern Room". You have still paid the same admission price as everyone else but the music you attended the event for in the first place is no longer being played. Your choice is to either leave or listen to music you don't really want to - not really much of a choice is it ?

    Think the all nighters that Chris Waterman promotes allow you to leave early & you pay a reduced admission price for this - he is to be applauded for that.

    The people ( knowing what they are going to get)

    The music ( see above)

    Start time 9.00pm

    Finish time 4.00pm

    7 hours of quality.

    Gives a chance for folks with other commitments to get out till "late",without getting home at 10 in the morning.laugh.gif (some leave proper nighters at this time anyway,so whats the problem).

    Most soul nights end from 12 - 2.am.

    Think that is called a Maxi Nighter/Dayer !!!!! :D

    Maybe time Northern venues moved with the times a little and got cd players, it is the original format after all. Same for loads of unissued stuff that has appeared on cd over the years, why go to the expense of getting a carver done?

    Getting a feeling of Deja Vu here !!!!!!!!

    Yep. I knew I remembered it. It was deffo in Levine's box circa '75. I recognised the title 'cos there were loads of these "Whole Thing" type records knocking around and no one really knew what the term actually meant over here. I think it was a U.S. TV ad for some monster burger or something wasn't it?

    . :thumbsup:

    Ian D :yes:

    You must have been looking in Colin's box Ian - it was a "last hour" spin for him - don't recollect ever hearing IL play it. Big fave for the Preston, Chorley & Fylde Coast folks.
