Paul-s

I deliberately included Try My Love - Tony & The showmen on the cd Chalky not in the play! I did it cos i was sick of the boring, repetitive, same,old same old attitude on the scene and said it would have been played at Wigan, if they had found it. I ALSO< put that in the sleeve notes, so i did it with knowledge and deliberation, not out of ignorance. It was a statement that things should move on...Glad to clear that up for you. best P

Caviar & Chitlins RCA m- £40 inc movin too slow

Still some great tunes left:yes:

Yes £700 to £1000 is about right. Sams saying £400 cos shes after one. BUT, she isnt going to find one for that. So hang on to it. Its getting bigger and bigger.

what would it take to entice you to go? Would it be a band? Djs, a reunion or some thing else? Dj's.

Depends on the lyrics. A lot dont mention jusus or god...just about life. Some great v rare gospel that rips the floor Trying To Make One Hundred - Holy Disciples Somebody Watching You - Sacred Four Whos Your Friend - Soul Liberation

sold my bonafide (used) original for £750 a while back. seen some very dodgy looking totally pristine, seemingly thinner copies floating about a couple of years back.??

You tube maybe or someone might try to smuggle a dvd into a foreign country. BUT, i know that most foreign destinations have strict quality control and high standards, so it will be tough on the IPSO smugglers. You could get 10 years in prison for this tosh in some of the more soulful destinations! Guess the execs can hide it in the baggy trousers that they bought for the premiere..

Joan, that was playing to the "educated" ex-pat NS scene, truth is if we all lived in the UK most of the punters would be going to oldies nights.... The gig's where it is Australian's out to dance to some soul is a different story, they are more than happy to dance to what they don't know and Paul went down a treat.

Joe, that's just complete and utter bollox and I can only assume you never actually go out and hear the newer sounds. Yep, Joe definitely hasn't been out much or just gone to Big nighters or oldies nights, where they play the odd dodgy new discovery ,to make such a, quite frankly, wank, statement as that. Very sad and unfortunately, indicitive of a large part of todays stationary and Morbidly obese (in terms of consumption of the same tunes!) scene. Change of diet might perk you up, slim you down and get you moving.

Should be easy enough to pick up mate. Try the funk board. I prefer it to Angela davies!

YES, BUT now the main rooms are all Mr m's...thats the problem. The explorer spirit has been lost..

Think Sam is asking WHEN did that become the case in UK. It was NEVER like that in 70s & 80s? I think a whole bunch of people stopped going for years (raising kids) missed a whole bunch of great music and when they returned to the scene felt a bit left out and wanted PURE nostalgia. The scene was never originally a nastalgic nostalgia scene! The returnees seemed to have only listened to a couple of oldies cds for 20 yeras and came back thinking that nothing might have moved on or other great tunes have been discovered. Meanwhile there was also a big market control element happening with regards to selling records and top 500s and price guides and blah, blah! Basically everyone seems to have (with age) lost ALL spirit of adventure and developed a fairly dogmatic view of music and soul...They need , as above post says, a system and ALL music must be categorised rather than listened and danced to. If its put in the wrong category box, then its not even worth a listen...No way can it be mixed up because this would cause discomfort and fear and loathing to the expectant punters (expecting tunes they have heard a million times already) and DJs are too scared (generally) to, as they did originally, play great new discoveries and stick with a couple of empty or sparser dance floors whilst breaking new tunes.... Its not like in OZ Sam, where punters are into hearing what the (intelligent and soulful) Dj wants to share with them and have a cracking good dance and good time in the process. They ACTUALLY like to hear the same tune over and over again here (like groundhog day, which is a good name for a lot of the nighters!) and generally try to dictate that via moaning a lot! See you soon Miss Goldie!

DVD Matt...wont be long...

Oh! Have they not secured a distributor for this classic yet? With the 8 out of ten scores im suprised OPTIMUM or other great champions of 'good' british films, haven't pounced on it...oh well, as i said, bargain bucket in a few weeks at local dvd store. Cant wait!

Interest seems to have waned on this classic film pretty quickly. So ill catch it on dvd in a month or so, im sure it will be £3 well spent.

Hey Brother Man - Mickey & Them Mr Big Man - Leroy Clofer WELFARE - Antonio Castro Lets Be Friends - Fantastic Mainstream Dark Side Of The Ghetto - Four Monitors too many to list (most my box)
