Chalky

One judge said he looks like a clown without the shoes, says it all really. He looked exactly what he is, a 60 odd year old doing northern badly. Timing out, trouble coming put of the tricks etc. WTF was the skippy dance? Plenty of youngsters who could have done NS justice but I guess they don’t want the real thing? I don’t know him, don’t know what his history is, don’t ever recall seeing him.

I reckon that is the case here, they have simply written whats on the right hand side if the label, the TRC catalogue, label numbers. maybe Zanetti should enter his matrix details?

Not sure about getting sucked in Colin, most if not all have sound files and the fools know what they are buying. Quality doesn't seem to matter to many as long as they have the record to play at their event.

I would imagine most of the idiots paying the best part of a grand for Jeanette are UK fools who fancy themselves as Djs.

Plenty of other scans on the internet that appear to be vinyl.

Unless they sort a trade deal. If they also sort one with the US import tariffs will end.

The post office clear it through customs for you or I. They pay the import charges etc and then there is their costs on top, therefore £8. I don’t particularly agree with the fee but it would probably cost you considerably more to travel to say Heathrow and clear it yourself.

Not booted as far as I was aware. My copy, which I no longer have, was I’m pretty sure on vinyl, the scan on discogs for issue and demo looks like vinyl.

But the artist is credited and many I have corresponded with are eternally grateful as they rarely knew that their music was appreciated. Johnathon Capree has had the recognition but this topic was highlighting inaccuracies in the fun and games that came after.

It might be about tne music but it is also about a music scene. The scene has a history and one that shouldn’t be forgotten. Those who have had an influence should receive some credit. Lets be honest, if not for this scene, the crate diggers, dealers, the Djs and the dancers, much of the music would have been lost or forgotten. I see very little pushing of an ego by those who have something to shout about.

Our good mate Nick Stevenson (god rest his soul) had plenty of what we believed one offs, hated Djing and he also supplied plenty of great records for other DJs. He had a better sales box than most had Dj boxes. He isn’t alone. Plenty in the background with fantastic collections we know little about. But those who do put themselves up there, as one who has a great interest in the history of the scene I like to see credit given where it is due, be that as a dealer discovering or a Dj breaking the record. There aren’t many at the top of the table who shout about their achievements, usually the opposite. Those that shout I find usually have sod all to shout about really.

The post will have taken it over the max value

Was it $22 plus postage? The postage is included.

I was listening to some of Lorraine's tracks last night and I decided to put them together in a mix, 13 tracks all in all....

The name is trademarked, Sound Of Soul

Dean Anderson's Sound Of Soul ™ bounces into the Roaring Twenties with two hours of some of the finest rare soul music the scene has to offer. Gez also makes a welcome return to the studio.

I should have said many not everyone

Not a great start to the 20s with news on social media about the passing of Lorraine Chandler. Lorraine having toured here was very approachable and engaging with her fans. Was for a time a very active member of Soul Source. R.I.P. Lorraine and thank you for the music.

Back in 2004/5 when Paul was breaking this, you knew who was playing what. There wasn’t that many nighters we didn’t all attend, nor soul nights. Lifeline had just started the year or so prior and the nighter scene wasn’t in great shape. The main nighters were all at Sheridans, Kings Hall. Everyone who was active knew who was playing what. It wasn’t the numerous factions we have now.

I would imagine the BBC had everything or just about everything that saw a UK release, at least up to the demo stage and also many that didn't even get that far.

according to figures recently the BBC Archives still has a massive collection of vinyl and CDs. There is little doubt it will have been pilfered from time to time or records getting lost whilst out with the various shows using them.

Didn't every BBC station have a record library? Manchester, Sheffield etc etc. Wasn't there a haul in Manchester of old BBC stock?

you need to take summat for that

Phil Swern I think owns the company that provides the BBC's digital services. I listened to an interview once when BBC was beginning to think about digitising and he said he already had them all digitised. He has every top 40 record since the charts began apparently. https://www.longlivevinyl.net/phil-collector-swern-interview/
