Talking of Frankie Valli...just read he's starring in the best program on TV....The Sopranos which has just started last series on E4...not got sky so will have to wait till on C4.

think they were £15 at the time

Hi Malc, it would have been late 80's very early 90's taken atr a party at John Kingans house. Here's another for you from same party,.....

the slagging off comment is just generalizing, not specifically attributed to this topic, should have made clearer in post.

Yes they have Baz, read wavy's comments on Lifeline and then read this topic, started by wavy not long after origianl comments, even admits down to some of stuff played Saturday night. I've nothing against criticism if it's constructive but it's hardly consructive when a venue is only doing what it says on the tin so to speak, therefore IMO the punter has no reason to complain. I've nothing against white soul recordings either just some I certainly don't come on here slagging a venues policy, how's it run or how it should do things better, was taught if nowt good to say about someone then say nowt. Soul records from the 60's to the present day (whatever era) have always been played. Folk should live and let live a little, like I said someone is probably enjoying the record you don't like and maybe later they don't like a record you like Maybe some of the critics of any event or any genre of music should start their own promotion, see how easy it is They can also hear just what they want to hear all night then and f*ck anyone else

Dawn Carmen from what I heard mostly 60's/northern persuassion, some crossover, I myself one 70's rest 60's I think, Andy, Mick and Butch biggest percent were 60's. Dave already posted he played 7 or 8 % moderrn I think, Cliff across the board as did Sam. I would say it weren't too far off the 80/20 you mention at most 70/30, certainly no where near the 50/50 mentioned elsewhere. There is no game plan with what the DJ's play, just told to please themselves and to play what they like. I think the only ideal Andy has in his head when he assembled the DJ team, and selects the DJ's is that they will express themselves and keep the music as fresh as possible. We all understand that you cannot go obscure every record and that there is a dancefloor to be filled but imagination is what is wanted and asked for, not just the same old same you hear week in week out although it is accepted that you will hear some of these. I know the residents and guest alike love Djing at Lifeline purely because of this policy. mI think the grin on Dave Thorley's face said it all Saturday night

No one gettting touchy just find it amazing that folk have a dig at venues and dj's, not just at Lifeline but in general, for playing anything beyond Dec 31st 1969, especially when they advertise the fact they are going to play it. I personally think they don't have a right to complain when the event does what it advertises, and again I'm not just referring to Lifeline, I'm talking in general. People know what they are going to get when they go to most venues as most venues advertise their policy and most who go soulin' every week know what most DJ's play, so why complain? Just go for a p*ss, go to the bar or have a chat with someone, go in the record bar when a record not to your liking is played, someone else is probably having the time of their life to these records. Many events advertise their policy as "across the board" yet folk still complain that they played 70's

Often did the same myself, couple of soul nights as well before the nighters

The Mighty Bub

I agree, many dj's seem to be palyhing to much mid tempo soul these days, not enough in your face Northern Used to hate Wakefield Sun but heard Guy spin it a few months back and it sounded great

don't think diplomacy my strongest point Dave

King Moses - I've Got This Feeling well it must be an oldie, Sam's been playing it for 20 odd years

I was just thinking the same myself on reading this topic. Sad to hear the other day that his father recently passed away too

I've a cd here that someone gave me t'other week, live one of Richard at Wigan, I think 50% is what they called back then modern soul.

in another topic yes and waVy said whats been said here in the other topic too, try and keep up. Yes it was a long weekend Joe, always is

soemoen said they counted ten disco recoprds at one particular venue, me I didn't hear any, I only heard soul; and as i said one house record. Christ, ten records out of nine hours

Disco? I only heard soul music IMO and one (soulful?) house record the other night

Maybe you should read the flyers and take note of the dj's that are playing for your pleasure, one of the venues I believe you are referring to advertises quality soul from the 60's and 70's and thats more or less what you got Why moan after the event when you know full well what you are going to get

what gets on my nerves is when someonme goes to a venue, where you know you are going to hear certain records and then f*cking moan about it

dunno forgot who was selling.....did hear some turned up though.

was a regular fixture on e-bay not so long ago, seller had multiple copies I believe.

Hi Kev. hope to get to the attic in the future when at a loose end. Been playing the JJ Daniels myself a while now.

Tangeers wasn't much more late 80's. I paid £12 for an issue in about '87.

have seen one or two posts about time wasters recently why not name and shame so that other dealers are aware of antics? you wouldn't mind if they told you they weren't bothered then at least they can be offered to other potential buyer but for both the seller and other collectors to lose out due to time wasters is just not cricket

great record is this, one that will rise in value IMHO
