it's getting the balance right of filling the floor and introducing some lesser known records, majority of venues it can't be done on masse, need to throw one in every few records and keep plugging away, but there are plenty of venues where you can offer something different and the reaction is there from the punters, Lifeline, Middleton, Greatstone, Wilton, 100 Club etc.

what I'm trying to say (not very well ) the majority of us can associate a record with a time in our lives, i.e venue, dj etc and that most of the records available these days, whatever the source, already have a place in our memories and that many of the DJ's these days you can't compare to eras past due to the fact they are all playing what the previous DJ's played, except for a small percentage who are lucky enough to have the right contacts. These days, certainly the past ten years or so too few DJ's prepared to use their imagination a bit and many have the sheep mentality and just follow the trends, rather than try and set a few trends, the records are out there if they look hard enough. Thats why I can't compare many of todays DJ's with DJ's of the past, when many used their imagination and had their own identity and playlist. As for common sense, that goes out the window much of the time

Rekindles memories the lists but not of the Dome. Dome was an excellent venue for first few years, good record bar and always worth travelling down for.

personally don't think the buying of records on the internet, makes a good dj, especially when they are all chasing and playing the same stuff. At least prior to the revolution in the mid 90's DJ's used their imagination, granted up to the late 80's records were there to be found still and thats not really the case these days but still loads of underplayed stuff out there to get a DJ's imagination working.

I think it all comes down to what era you grew up and who influenced your musical taste......

other side fantastic soul...

well seeing as the Jam bugger all to do with Northern then, shouldn't this be in freebasing, or better still on some mod forum

so you keep saying

It's the Ovations - What Did I Do Wrong on Vivid Sound

sings like a fish you've a way with words Pete I'll give you that

500 over the top too IMHO used to be £400 before all the copies turned up, for some strange reason the price then went up

absolutely superb piece of 70's soul

DLLGYD released 4 times on label. At one time couldn't give Pretty Girl away...well sell cheap was stuck in sales box for about 2 years.

gotta agree, no where near as good as Temptations.

can't believe no ones mentioned Garland Green's Jealous Kinda Fella - Uni, not a duffer on it, superb Monitors - Greetings always been a fave and for white boys singing soul Righteous Brothers Souled Out ain't bad Up To You just superb

dunno can't remember seeing one for sale.

The Apocryphals, take it you mean Baby I'm Losing You, Guy Hennigan spin?

anyone got a scan o the paramount release?

forget your price guides, as good a place as any to get any current price are the forums such as here, Soul Source. Another excellent forum is the RareSoulForum.

no offence taken and know none meant, it was just how it read.

Give Andy Dyson a try, he had both, Philharmonics only recently. Dysonsoul@aol.com

JaBoth is Jesse's own label I think. If you read Dave Flynn's site (anoracks corner) there is already a scan of this on there and an interview etc of the man himself.

I read the comment the same way as Paul and Andy, dunno maybe just a northern thing

well aware of what it's fetching nowadys......just adding further comment to Scotty's post I alos agree with him that it's not as rare as some think...might be hard one but IMHO it's not £1000+ rare the current price isn't always a good indication of a records rarity, often just it's demand. Vanguards over played these days IMO and far better records by them at more reasonable prices but as it's a rare and expensive one it often over shadows the cheaper and sometimes better ones
