I agree with the Womble. We have four pages of hissy fit venom about how bad Paul's set allegedly was, then he comes on and tells us it's stuff like Debbie Taylor, Sam Dees.......ffs what is going on here?

"We want Freedom" wasn't on Lawton I'm sorry to say. It never got beyond a promo release that didn't get promoted by Manny (EDDIE) Campbell. BTW this is the same man behind Tierra and also Nurons

"First taste of hurt" is an awesome rekkid, I never tire of it. B side's OK too.

Beern covered several times - I am sure you'll find the threads....Steve

T'was a Wigan sound.

Thanks for the post Gavin - a real quality artist that did so much good stuff......another sad loss, and no age at all really. His style was pretty unique, and I enjoyed seeing him at Cleethorpes.

Have PM'd you. Steve

Jack Sass Band will have it's day....one day

Not exactly true but funny nonetheless "There is a copy of Frank Wilson within five miles of where I am standing - my job is to try and find it"

"what you want me to paint the whole bloody thing?"

Got a copy somewhere, seem to recall it's quite slow

But Mark we've always had these differences amongst our community. The only difference now is you see it more on the Internet where it's very easy to disagree with someone just by posting an email. In the old days you only saw them in the magazines letter columns, and by the time you read it, the issue was probably long since gone (unless of course it's oldies versus newies, 60s versus 70s etc - those arguments have raged on for decades). But politix has always been part of the scene. So don't lose heart! Steve

"At the newly refurbished Wilton all nighter, the true cost of employing cheap East European labour was plain for everyone to see"

UK Demo about 50-60. Who'se the lead singer? Some white college kid Peter Noone look-a-like with hair over his collar. Quite a nice pop record though.

Hi ya Jordi is this only available in Manch? Best wishes to you and the Holyman..... Steve

Blake Think it was only done for jukeboxes, and probably a 300-500 run....I'm looking after my copy....Steve

You certainly got that bit right Paul - I see he is now reviewing The Glitter Band in Manifesto What next Mud and Showaddywaddy records in their strange world of northern soul?

Agreed Malc top bloke! Here's another one: "After a long dry summer the signs of subsidence were starting to appear in the most unusual and unexpected places"

B side's not too shabby either Matt.

Sam tells me he's also described Soul Sourcers as "anally retentive and puritanical" If true I've only got two avataars to describe this latest irrelevant outburst:

Andy we are NOT taking the piss out of Sam - just the visual look of the lopsided decks.....Steve

As someone that does my fair share of evening do's, I know exactly where you are coming from. I'd like to be more upfront, but I am not going to be a p-nut and play to an empty floor for an hour either - so you have to strike a balance. I love clearing the floor a couple of times, but not for a whole set.....Nothing wrong with some oldies per se, as long as they are not the same played out ones. There's tons you rarely hear. I'd personally rather hear a lesser played oldies than hearing Unique Blend, Jackie Lee, Salvadors or Corey Blake again. Yet the dancefloor often says otherwise, so we got to mix it up a bit at evening do's. Niters are different, and although I am a rare attendee at Niters (very rare), I couldn't even think of attending a niter that doesn't play new sounds. I'd be bored senseless staying up all night hearing oldies.

"Started in response to the smoking ban.....but open air all nighters aren't all they're cracked up to be"

The famous sloping dancefloor at the City Club was worse than anyone had anticipated
