Chatty

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/fe19b809-e86c-4736-882a-53b72e23171b   Just noticed this on the Radio 2 website.

Jade east by Ramsey Lewis?

We could all bid mad amounts on his other items then tell him where to go.

Or better still send monopoly money as payment (much like he did with said record)

Simple really, just ask him what it says in the run out groove, that would clear it up straight away !

Exactly, with his username I was expecting a definitive answer without having to take him by the hand!

I asked him if it was an original he replied with  "don't think this is an original, more likely to be the lookalike boot, TBH I'm not sure so you might be lucky"

Not as lucky as him!

Always thought this sounded slightly out from start to finish, bit like Les Dawson playing the piano off key.

Absolute cracker none the less!

Also the tyres on the car should be 1.6 millimetres across the central ¾ of the tread around the complete circumference of the tyres   

PC PLOD 16345 Trumpton!

Richie Havens actually did a version at Woodstock, clip on U Tube.

(Lock me up)

Nothing like a NS documentary to get people reaching for their tin hats. 

Let's just hope that in the upcoming soul film one of the characters  doesn't forget to mention he's had a dream, and that in the future the scene will go underground again and all "the tourists" will disappear for a couple of decades.

 I think the all working down the pit malarky seems to  be a carry over (that always gets trotted out) due to the "This England" documentary that used the "working class" angle to feature a girl from Wigan if memory serves (who worked in a mill or laundry) having a weekday life of drudgery and living for the weekend!

It would have to be Bluey, I was first introduced to him when I was but a callow youth at Wigan.

He was very popular, well known to vast numbers on the scene at the time, was always warmly welcomed when he appeared, and would never let you down (not too early anyway) .

Normally there most weeks at the allnighter, but on the occasions he wasn't it was never the same.

Some weeks people would search frantically for him, whilst others said they had bumped into him or knew someone who had.

Would you believe there where certain authorities who didn't want him around the place and would take measures to stop him attending or try to nab him when he did!

Alas I have not met or looked for his acquaintance for many a long year. In fact  i don't if he is still around or has long since perished?.

But I only have to think about, or bump into someone who knew him back in the day and it brings back memories of some of the best times of my life.

Bluey take a bow son!    

I am not sure but it looks Dark Blue from Jupiter, don't let anyone tell you it looks Orange.

Bought the Orange boot from "Russ's pressings hut" back in the day.

Connie Lingus what a singer, never been licked!

 There are works of art dating back centuries "done" in the last 50 years and "experts" are still arguing over their authenticity.

Word of warning Stu, if you used to be handy with the spins take it easy, two full revolutions after so long out and you'll need somebody on each arm guiding you back to your seat and then it will be the room spinning for the rest of the night not you!

Have a great night.

Seems the best way to avoid this minefield is to outlive this rare soul collecting fad until all old vinyl is used for melting down and filling in the potholes.    

Well "big c" according to your profile you're on line now, a chance to defend yourself?

 For the princely sum of £4.99, from a well known dealer as well

My old mate from Rochdale Chris Shepperd has searlings copy from the casino, he paid under a ton for it..yes just recalled it as £60

Recently heard Richard mention this whilst listening to one of his old tapes from when he was on (I think) Jazz FM.

Pardon my ignorance in advance, but why does buying off Manship mean paying such a premium (is it solely due to the fact that it is off such an esteemed dealer)?

In this day and age of the internet (and indeed Johns own publications on the matter) authenticity can't be a factor.

And even on e bay surely no one would pay any kind of money for a record without there being a copper bottomed returns policy in place.

 The theme from Joe 90.

It brings so many emotions, anger, sadness, disbelief, the yearning for what could have been, if only....                                                              

 Am I living in a parallel universe here?

I read threads all the time on here telling me the "scene " as never been better, more events than there as ever been ( point taken there will never been an event where people head to the same  venue in their hundreds/thousands  on a weekly basis ever again)

And yet i am being told a track  as turned up that is an  "Awesome discovery", teased with a  40 second play, told we can tune into a radio show to listen to the full track, told if we attend certain weekenders we can can here it played out, then finally we will be able to buy it.(Not a bad sounding tune by the way)IMHO

Hats off to everybody involved in the discovery, breaking, playing of the said track, but please don't anyone tell me the scene has never been better, when tunes  were turned over at a rate of knots we could only dream about today?

I know this may upset people, but i am quite happy to post what i think, put on my tin hat and retreat 100 yards! 

Result, just dropped through the door this morning, not an import charge insight!

Is this the same copy we discussed on here a while back?
