Tailormade Gaz B

A nice example of Dj'ing that you can only do in Europe, and I can certainly speak from experience. Shows fairly good technical skills and befitting of the era too, I'd say. Bamburg There is also a video somewhere on YouTube from one of the Manchester Soul Weekender sessions where Malayka is DJ'ing with Soul Sam and the beat matching is great; they've even got B-Boys doing breaks in front of them to it. I think a little technical ability goes a long way in this 'scene'. I mean Sam and Dave are at the older scale of this movement and they're pioneering what think should have been well established and ubiquitous techniques. Equally, they've got the collections and taste to do it. I try and do it, and I think it works well,. You can't do it with every record, and it'll never be seamless unless you get a pre-mediated set together, but you can't do that in this scene, you need to be responsive to the floor so I wouldn't advocate every record goes beat-for-beat into the next... As a parting comment, I've seen and booked some big collectors who are awful DJ's - but the flip side is some people just want to hear the big, rare records.

Hello, still after a copy of this. Missed the recent eBay one, bloody snipes!! PM with condition and price. Thanks, Gary

I'd say more of a Royal Mail glitch. I posted records to a good friend in Italy after having tracked it on the website. He told me they've still not arrived Thats a 3 day (an counting) black hole.

Liam Quinn has.

Ha! didn't someone say they'd signed up to Facebook for it too? EDIT: I thought the thread was deleted, but having just revisited it, a few people fell for that. Very good!

Have a word with Liam Quinn too, he had two Bob Meyers for a while. I played mine this weekend with Maxwell in Dulcimer. Always works a treat! good luck.

I've been after this for years...

Hi folks, After a copy of J.Washington's modern dancer, 'Don't Waste my Time' and Black Sugar - 'Too Late'. Could also do a trade, obviously there is no guarantee I'll have the record you want, but you can ask, nonetheless...you never know ;) I've got a copy of Wilson Love's 'Funny Money' that I might list, so that could go in a swap or... Mary Davis, Danger! Playboy on a Demo and some other bits. I can put a list together. PM me with conditions and price. Thanks v.much Gary

Teddy now sold too - others still there, and open to offers. Thanks, Gary

Thanks Azza. Well, one narrow minded comment isn't too bad going for a soul source thread. 11, almost 12 years I've been 'on the scene' re buying records and I spend most of my 'scene time' in Europe so that might account for me not being on your register. As for my review, it starts off by saying "well, it's all very subjective...". Secondly, I was prompted into my review rather than volunteering it because I knew someone would complain which is why I don't bother with SS very much either. However, im glad others found it useful or at least engaging and were able to have a fruitful and fairly healthy discussion. Lastly, as Azza rightly pointed out it was more focused on cinematics and if you looked at my second reply to someone's post where I jokingly said 'don't be so pessimistic'... I made sure to allude to my position, that I wasn't talking from a 'lived experience'. The fact that I'm a lecturer who predominately researches film, photography and popular culture I guess, is also secondary to my time on the scene and my validity to make an informed opinion.

The List is also on Facebook. Thanks.

If so, period drama's would be a waste of time.

Maxwell - stop trying to get your post numbers up. Yes, tickets gratefully received. I should add that I did thank him a few times before going to the film in case anyone thinks i'm rude ;) I also gave you a nod in this post - so I hope that makes amends

Ah, i wouldn't be so pessimistic Barry, its not that bad. Its fiction, as she alluded to because she felt a documentary wasn't fitting and she didn't want to focus on those with weird idiosyncrasies you find at clubs like those folk that collect just one label, or deep soul and laugh at cross over etc - its her story at the end of the day, and i'm sure many people will share the same experiences and memories. The feedback in the audience was good from people saying he got the 'feel' right and the aesthetics of the era right too - just a shame that in the 70's everyone looked awful and everything was brown. But i'm younger, and already well into it, so I don't need coaxing in, or to be enthused, or needed to attend dance workshops, and thats why I criticised it cinematically. But in terms of authenticity, I think its pretty water tight, but for me, the production value across the board wasn't to my liking.

Well its all very subjective but...the cultural revival and interest it has created its a good thing, and although I didn't attend the dance workshop, I think they were a good thing too, except for the new wave of young people in vests and bags, but they didn't know any better for a short period of time. Dance work shop - uniform and songs - straight out to a club and then...Oh...not many people actually wear this anymore. Perhaps they should have been briefed on that ;) So as Loft has just alluded too in the above post - its a great brand ambassador for the scene, and the music. The soundtrack is great and a real achievement to get music she did on it. The Tomangoes must have been expensive though, you only get 10sec's of that, and the costumes were quality! Equally, the justifications from Elaine in the Q&A were genuine, tangible, considered and sincere, but my criticism is that the film was cinematically weak. Great narrative/plot/character development in the beginning, but then just seemed rushed and the chronology and distribution of time is weird...does it all happen in a week, or a few months. If its a week, it was a fun, jam packed and exciting week! He moves out, he goes home, he changes jobs, starts up a club... You've got the usual love interest, an emotional tipping point that sends the main character down the dark road to soul, and then enlightenment achieved through the communality of the dance floor and the music. Good acknowledgement of working class culture too but it was lacking something that you'd expect from a Ken Loach film, if one could make a comparison to a British Director who'd try and make something similar; something that grabs or shocks or pulls you emotionally. But maybe its more about passive, entertainment - but I don;t think anyone sets out to make a film that you can just let pass you by - you want something engaging. The acting wasn't great either - but I don't know if they were actors before?

Hi all, just back from the film preview! I'm curious to know what people thought? It was nice to see a few familiar faces too. Best, Gary
