    Played this as my last record at Without Boundaries and the floor cleared.

    Really depends if you are a collector or DJ Rod. I guess I am a bit of both these days. The thread is about collector pays 5k, when we're actually talking about Sam. To me Sam is a DJ with an extended hotbox, I don't view Sam as a collector. I've got so many unknown 70s at this point, and not many places to play them..... maybe I should buy more "known" sounds

    Willie & MM was 3 years earlier and cashed in on the "Corners" dance craze that was going down (loads of records on that theme); Crocker was a NY DJ that - before he was jailed for payola (taking money for playing records) - just used it as a B side to his "Confessions of love" non hit ion Turbo n the 70s. Willie & MM sold by the bucket load

    Demand is fuelled by too many of the 16,486 DJ's on the scene chasing the same records. Easy.

    Al Foster Band and "lady lady lady" respectively rhino Whilst on the 70s Barnaby Bye "Can't live this way" more like "Can't dance this way"

    I agree on my first visit this is where I went first, and as it was my first allnighter I thought I had really arrived. 2,000 people like me all liking the same music and all up and dancing when most divs were tucked up in their beds! a real sense of belonging.

    Thanks for reminding us just what a poor version DJ Genesis really is

    Dunno I am too busy "washing my hair" (what's left of it) to find out

    Agree in the mid 70s, Ian Levine was playing em and dropping them faster than you could whistle Dixie. But he's been inactive in the breaking new discoveries front since 1976, over 30 years ago and the thread is about who'se broken most in the last 40 years Paul. DJ wise would think it's Sam, purely because he has been DJing on the northern / modern scene pretty much every week for the last 40 years.

    12" of "this will be a night to remember"
  11. Steve G
    On Mercury, yes takes a long time to get going..quite nice when it does though
  12. Steve G
    Great I'll join you JJ - have been umming and arring about it for ages, and I packed it in the big box for Lifeline in a week or two.....will probably play at "-3" - but Lord is it fast.
  13. Steve G
    Too fast even for me, but a great record nonetheless. Do you play it out?
  14. Steve G
    Think it was pretty disco-y wasn't it? synths dmx etc?

    There's a surprise the church acting as ruthless landlord Despite the emotion and obvious sadness around this, can't help thinking that record stores everywhere are becoming a thing of the past. Wonder if they'll "find" a few Tolberts and Mark IV's tucked away at the back?
  16. Steve G
    So your point is you don't care about whether bootlegs are played or not. We understand your point of view, so you can close the thread now.

    I am being serious Jellybean, I know it's quite unusual for me on here But yeah Kiki Dee good.
  18. Steve G
    Nothing wrong with Magic Carpet ride.
  19. Steve G
    Quite feasible some more were pressed up in 81 by Jesse. We were in contact with him, so why wouldn't he if he'd sold out?

    I gave him a load of verbal over playing Muriel Day once, but you know Iam never backwards in coming forwards, even as a kid. I know what you mean back then plaging EMis of big sounds was sort of acceptable, odd as it may seem now.

    Hi Ian it's a great record to have on UK, plays fine too. The US ones are all styrene but my issue plays ok just - it's just starting to go - whoever invented that horrid material for making records deserves shooting I say. Life expectancy 100 plays.
  22. Steve G
    Great southern soul dancer
  23. Steve G
    Glad he's recovering....
  24. Steve G
    He made some excellent records Trevski....and was great at the Kent 25th too! As this was just a thing made for some of his friends I wouldn't worry about it - it's not as if it's being hyped as "the new northern soul sound" or anything.

    Because the nuimbers were allocated before the record was pressed, sometimes two, three or so at the same time. In many cases unreleased but numbered cases were I believe pressed, but then pulled at the last moment - probably due to a contractual fault or some other problem. I think this is what happened with things like Walter Wilson and may even be the case with "Tear stained face" on Veep. Numbers were sometimes allocated so that the record could be advertised and I think this is what happened with things like "Carlena" on Wand - but all this is informed guesswork and no one knows for sure.
