Pretty much.

Seconded.

I've got the vid from the 100. Good to look at but the audio pleasure isn't really there. To see that man sing that song live, when he hits that high note near the end ... ah man .. RIP RP..

I was there that night, great night.. Managed to palm the poster ..

Due respect for this number is my opinion, not sure about the younger crowd. Or indeed what this record means to folk either on or off the scene these days?

How can you say that?! Uptempo pacey dancer from one of the best! Dissing the Drifter ... Saddened.. The emotion, the voice ... "out of my arms and left me to wander" ... I'm startin a choofin poll int Box!

And what did you think?

Well that's fair enough. Everyone and his dog seemed to have cottoned on to it, but alas sounds nil! Yo' mumma

Call me crazy, but I still think someone could/should post a sound snippet?

I think you're thinking of 118? 141 withholds the callers ID.

The Reality .. The reality of all of our misgivings about this turdy project from the off!

Yep would seem so.

No the point I was making was about paying decent money to hear bogus records. You had said you'd never returned home with the hump that someone had played pressings. That's why I quoted you. Read back whilst I nip out for ciggs.

What you sell and what you have owned has little bearing on the point I was making. Unless that is you are charging people twelve pounds to get in to your house to hear your shit records up yours.

How much did you pay to get in? Not so long back I paid about a fiver to get in to a soul night and it was pressings a go go. 150 capacity, fiver to get in, I wouldn't make a fuss... Twelve quid at a nighter, different story. Credibility plays a big part, as Mark Bicknell said about rare soul dj & tools for the job. Originals are always going to be rarer than pressings. A collector and dj of rare original vinyl is worthy of respect and deserving of a decent cover charge. Any schmo can own and play pressings, they are not worthy of any respect in a collecting sense and do not sit well within a rare soul scene. We've all stood with a dj or collector and marvelled, maybe handled a particulary rare item. They have that wow factor. Pressings have none of that, they are shit.

We concluded that the Wikipedia definition wasn't far off the mark some time back. Point them towards that?

Don't think there were many of these pressed?

Me & Ade on comb & paper .. He's on comb, I'm on paper.

It looked quite live to me. Maybe drop him a pm if you were curious?

Yeah that's a good shout. Middleton also..

Hold on I'm coming - Sam & Dave.

I'd like to hear that. Any vids? Having just given Al a listen, one of the great things about it imo, is the horns. Killer horns! Be cock all without the horns really.

I've heard that spun out recently. Good business that getting spins again in a quirky nostalgia cheese sort of way. Imo of course.
