  1. It's unreleased. Came out on one of the Groovesville CD's Goldmine put out.
  2. Depending on who is selling I've seen the George freeman for anything between £150 and £250. Maybe somewhere in between more realistic. One of if not the best beat ballad of all time
  3. I personally think trying to cater for a soul night crowd and an allnighter crowd won't work, two different animals really, for a start the soul night crowd are not as open minded IMHO and prefer to hear things they are familiar with. I certainly think bringing the record dealers down will help things, either put them across the front of the stage like they used to be or in the corner near the door and at the side of the toilets. Those who don't buy or sell records can utilise the little bit at the top of the stairs in front of the curtains (room for all the comfy leather chairs etc in front of the dance floor). When it is busy around the dealers it takes quite a few people away from the main area of action. I personally don't think it will interfere with the bar too much. It only takes 5 minutes to rearrange the furniture and five minutes to put it back.
  4. It is the music as well as the company that make the night. There has been times when the emphasis has been too much on the 70's and crossover side, not long ago there was nearly three hours at the peak time, great DJ's playing great records but totally the wrong choice for the time of the night and very few on the dance floor. It was until Joan came on that the dance-floor filled up, I was stood with Dave and I mention this then and he agreed with me. It has to be a blend of styles not an over emphasis of one or the other. It has to get back to records that fill the floor but they also have to be what the Wilton has always been about, imagination and the balls to try something new, a mixture of the 60's and 70's but the music has to be danceable and flow! For the first few hours it has to be uptempo dancers to get everyone in the mood, folk don't want bringing down Thats how I see the policy of any all-nighter, not just the Wilton. I'm sure Mouse and Dave will read this topic so give them your thoughts as long as they are constructive. Mouse always says it belongs to those who attend the all-nighter so don't sit there and let the place fade away, tell him what you think, what you want from the night and above all lets make the anniversary a night to remember. 18 years old, the Wilton comes of age
  5. I did mention it to Mouse, pull the curtains right across, move the leather chairs to the litle bit at the top of the steps, in front of the dance-floor out the record dealers. Thats how it used to be. The only thing I have against the suggestion of 4am finish is it might deter travellers?? Anybody who travels got an opinion as it is you it would affect. I would certainly look at 6 maybe 5am finish starting no later than 10, maybe 9? If it was to finish at 4 then I would opt for an 8pm start and entice some of soul night crowd in as well.
  6. I've asked on Soulful Detroit to see if any of them heard anything. I can't find any info?
  7. and another advert for Ernstrat Recording services....
  8. Nice one Dobie Gray one cool dude and I don't think I've seen the Christine Cooper before. Can I complain about Billy Preston - Short fat fanny, I didn't see one in the video
  9. I did suggest a 6am finish too, start at 10.
  10. I do remember though that the top half was rarely used in years gone by and I did suggest to Mouse that it is closed off all the way across and the record dealers brought down to the bottom like they used to be across the front of the dance floor in front of the bar.
  11. No shame on anyone Joan, all-nighters and real life don't always mix , I can vouch for that myself just lately. We also have seven day working weeks nowadays with many having to work Saturdays, we have kids and we are not as young as we used to be. Work is one of the reasons I rarely go anywhere on a Friday and I'm lucky the Wilton is just up the road. The place definitely needs a full house next time. 18th Anniversary with it's usual double decking special. Brian Goucher & Mike Charlton, Joan and Ted Massey, Roger Banks & Saus, Karl Heard & Karl Rhodes, Soul Sam & Arthur Fenn Andy Dyson and myself. If that line up isn't good enough then I don't know what is to be honest. 18th March 2011 9.00pm until 7.00am. Free badge an all for the 1st 150 in Please be there or we might just regret it
  12. The music policy has always been what it is, DJ's playing what they want with the emphasis on something different. Collectors and "name" Dj's all on the same night playing imaginative sets and not the same old same. So many missing last night, plenty of regulars not there, some who said they are going not turning up. No other all-nighter this weekend The weather wasn't too bad either, if Willie and Melv can make it dunno why some who are nearer can't make it. If the next one which is the venues 18th Anniversary isn't a success I fear it will be too late. It is the best venue in the country, ideal for an all-nighter.
  13. everyone has to start with post number 1 I'm sure any interested party will get to know everything they want, scans, condition and who they are dealing with. I've asked for him/her to post an intro so we'll see what happens.
  14. I'm sure if anyone is interested in doing business then full details etc will be revealed, don't think anyone would simply send that amount of money without a few details. But as per site policy can you please post an intro in https://www.soul-sour...uts-and-intros/ just to let members know a bit about you
  15. anyone got a sound file of this?
  16. Sounds like the place, Andy had to go and look who was playing it cause I for one had only ever heard Andy play it prior to then. Andy played it last night, sounded fantastic
  17. I know it's been played here and there, also heard Ged Parker play it when not many really knew the record apart form collectors.
  18. Couple from me, both known about but not too much by the dance-floor, Grier Borthers - Weeping Baby All the Time - Melody Disc, expect this to go bigger this year. Quinn Golden - Habit Breaker - Esko. I know it's been known about off the LP but got a 45 of this last year as did one or two others so this might have it's day in the sun at some point.
  19. Ey up pal and Happy New Year to you too. Either way it's great, some magic records listed
  20. Fabulous record!!
  21. some go out of their way to make a decent looking label most use any sort of paper.
  22. it's the first downloadable .wmv file I have seen, they are no different to mp3's? They are not allowed as per site rules and will be deleted. Please use refosoul.
  23. The Northern/Rare Soul Scene has never been one style, it has always been varied and long may it continue...just as long as it is good
  24. Title: volumes - you got it baby - inferno Artist: volumes Track: you got it baby Label: inferno view soul record info
