Hi Carms, I did go to Wigan, but like you am looking forward to this film with an open mind. Life in the 70s was a bit messy anyway, so "accuracy" is always open to interpretation. As a film fan I'll judge it as a film, rather than a historical documentary I hope the various soul nights go well, a shame the promotors have booked Russ, but too late to turn back now, What's done is done. I could say they should have smelt the bad aroma that follows this particular DJ about before the poor fella got as far as Junction 26 on the M6, but they didn't. Hey ho. Have fun everyone! Enjoy the film.

Hi Si and Sebastian, Yes same session, there is rumour, well very strong rumour in fact, she did an albums worth of material for Scepter so yes probably another 3-4 tracks out there somewhere. I'll dig out the article over the weekend and try and scan it in here. Some great pics of her. Steve

My Patti Jo is a cracking little dancer "This is the price(I must pay)" in fact I don't really play it out enough. I'll see if I scan the article and pics on her some time in the next few days, if anyone is interested in seeing her, Steve

Ha ha in negotiations with Grey Matter - the same Gray Matter that you are Managing Director of per chance? Credit for a good wind up that got a few of em going Steve

Ive also got a great unissued Patti Jo side from those Scepter sessions. I also have a two page article on her with pics from an old "Black stars" magazine. One cool chick.

The "wind up " gets better.

Yes, agreed. Dave certainly didn't think it was the dogs bollox. Well known DJ. Held in quite high esteem by a number on here. Back to the thread I see the price has dropped, but still totally overpriced for a knackered acetate of a mediocre tune.

Nope Nev Dave was raising a point about a rare acetate being bollox not dogs bollox. The point being rarity does not = quality once again. Quite a well known DJ too as I understand it.

188 is the hardest to find.......also done by Storm, but this version has more of a Philly feel.

Hi Missgoldie, It's mainly a UK thing. And more limited to NS as you say. I think it changed when the average age on the dancefloor went over 40 Not that way in Europe where as long as the music is good people will dance. Not that way (much) on the modern scene either.

Cheap too! I had to cross uncle Barnfather's hand with a few more shekkels than that.

That's interesting Dave - can you say who it was? there are some excellent acetates out there, also some that are rubbish. Think we're all agreed on that

Yes indeed we are.

Yes indeed we are.

Wait til you hear the Fame one Sean

Wait til you hear the Fame one Sean

Exactly, it's just an acetate - plenty of acetates of unissued stuff out there. And many better than this. Loads in fact.

Ignore the feckers Harpo.

Excellent

Excellent

Happy birthday - he's younger than I thought.....

Yes an excellent track Steve. Have already played it at 3 venues in the last 2-3 weeks - United Sounds of Soul, Majestic Soul and Hobgoblin alldayer. And the good people of Spain will hear it at the weekend too. A monster in the making

Can't believe such a ridiculous post has generated so many replies. The guy is obviously a WIND UP - his comments about not wanting to spend 11 hours listening to disco say it all. What were his flyers for ffs - a heavy metal night, window cleaning services? ANd he can't even be bothered to reply. Time waster. Recommend ignore.

Well it was £170 in the 70s.

Yes I mentioned Crystal Palace FC and you said you had to go and wash your hair or something. That's the last I saw of you.
