But remember we don't play Burgers on the modern soul scene...

They organised a weekender in Blackpool and then cancelled it. You could say they were ahead of their time on that basis.

Col, I have to tell you that I am in writing as "dissing" this particular record right from the start - it is probably the group's WORST record. They have done a number of good ones, but "Party time man" ain't one of them.....See you at Essence.....

You know the funny thing is he has one at home!

Sometimes hard Dodger if the "moddun room" doesn't have a CD player

I did offer to play some "stompers" at the "modern night" and the Big O told me to go and spin on my head, or summat like that

He has played some most "bizarre" records Andy - "Paint it black" was also one of his "finer moments in soul" I seem to recall.....as I recoiled in horror from the hallowed Wigan dancefloor at 7.15 one Sunday morning....but we cannot mention that, as it is an instrumental.

I've just "relistened" to the Del Rays Inc again for the first time in years and "reappraised" it. Don't agree that it's "fantastic", but I do wish to "delete" it from my previous list, as it's not bad. Is this allowable?

It's not even good disco. Do we know who is to "blame" for introducing this "abomination" to the scene?

I have one somewhere, I'll give it another listen based on your expression.

Cheers -

Well I suppose at least that music is "authentic" rather than "tailormadeformoddunsouldancing" - Goodness I am being controversial now.

Nooooooooooooooooooo

I was reading in the "Evening Sub Standard" on the train home tonight that they have gotten round the noise abatement people - they're turning the speaker walls "off" at midnight and giving the dancers "headsets", so that they can dance all night without disturbing the locals. Can't see that happening on our scene somehow

Yeah I know. I saw that thread. I can of course do "side to side" music, but you have me pencilled in for one of your "Modern by Moonlight" events - do you want me to bring a "stompers set along" to that?

Yes Frankie I am, and it's a "Crazy World" we live in

Sounds a fair way of putting it.....

Never been a fan of Kenny Thomas either.....

Not feeling inclined to open up that old "Pandoras box" about what is / isn't "Nsoul" at this time of day. Glad someone likes it though, and I bet Pete S probably does too - I just don't class it as "credible" for the rare soul scene, and I don't think I am alone. Thought it was a joke when I first heard it at "Wigan" in 1980 - my opinion has never changed on it....God I hope it's not in the process of being "revived"

Can we not dismiss all of the "Levine" productions? A couple were "reasonable covers" such as Johnny Bristol "Man up in the sky", but by and large as a genre we could largely write them off - couldn't we?

Rock rubbish - no place at a soul venue.....

I don't know Taff - maybe less as a number of people do not recognise 12s as a "valid" vinyl format

The Seeds "Pushing too hard" Lou Christie Lightening strikes Delrays Unlimited Destination unknown Teddy Vann Theme from Coloredman

Tim Brown's book values it at 250

SBoy might want it at that price Christian - I don't. See you Friday. Steve
