Sorry but this is ballocks! As a promotor you need to cover your costs, and that includes paying the DJ people who have agreed to grace your venue. It's no good saying you don't know how many are going to turn up, you need to treat it as if enough people will turn up and have enough dosh in your old wallet to cover those costs. If punters don't turn up and you lose money, then sorry but don't promote gigs. It's simple really and a promotor should always pay their DJs - end of.......

Standing room only - one of the best deep soul records ever made!!!!! RIP Kimberley

It had already been issued on British Tamla Motown by then, so he could have had 10 copies and it wouldn't have made any difference

Still is the same guy.

Yes the same guy! Steve

Nice one - looks like NY and 42nd Street at Park at the beginning!

In a word Brian No, and it's not a campaign against Wigan as such, but the end was a farce. And an hour of Frank Wilson?

Frank Bloody Wilson - didn't Winstanley play it at the very last last ever last (honest guv) allnighter repeatedly for an hour or something, until everyone had died of boredom?

Still got mine together with the dodgy PS with the girls

"Don't tell me your sorry" was a big modern spin when it was a new release. I still like it....

It's Jeff Floyd Tony. Great tune....

Me too tho the covers not in such good nick as that

There's really nothing major about this - maybe GW had a problem with Columbia, maybe they were running behind with a backlog, maybe someone was in NY and got the masters pressed up while there, maybe it was just an experiment, maybe the Bell SOund rep had just visited GW and offered them a deal...........there are many possible reasons why these two releases were done by Bell Sound.

Very good! Actually I did see someone in a Bowler hat the other week on Cornhill - looked very odd.

Story 1 is something like: "I was driving in my car (when I was 16-ahem) and this record came on the radio.....I just had to get it so I went and traced down the radio station and got them to look up the playlist, and find the record. I got the details of the label but when I rang them I found they had gone bust about 6 months previously" Story 2 is something like "I found it in the 50p bin at Soul Bowl" Sorry, as always I am being a bit mischevous Rachel.

Mrs G wants to know what hours the antique shop is open for when we're next on the IOW

There are some Allan Harris's around - in collections mostly. It's not that 'ard, though demand is outstripping supply at the moment....Steve

At 11 01am ??? - thought you boys started at 7 am? No wonder I never see you out in the City!

Mike - the next poll will be around how the Carstairs was first discovered - two very different stories there too.....

What not sure it's rare or not sure it's any good???? It's both. DJ indecisiveness was to blame for it's brief appearance outside of the box at Yarmouth ...it's more of a midtempo 80s thing, rather than that fast and furious funky type of thing you like, and as you were hovvering around I played something a bit more uptempo

Chuck Proffett m8 - production is excellent. Might play it saturday afternoon.

"Love love love" - there is a third version which blows Hathaway and JRB away......

I actually think Universal Joint did the FIRST version, with J R Bailey covering it. Seem to recall Billy Guy wrote the song and also produced UJ, but I cannot find my copies of the two versions to compare right now. Steve

On the modern front what about John Donvan on Paradigm?

This is actually Carstairs Junction where there is a sharp curve and hence a speed restriction.
