Winsford Soul

Trust your well Gotta trump card you mate with Pembrokeshire and at least two hours closer I want to live there, but can't get a engineering job , can't afford to retire yet. Steve

Massive congratulations to you both , easily the best photographs of the month. Steve

I personally tend to go nighters so would expect to hear original vinyl but that's only because of my own beliefs and expectations. On the same token I went to a local soul night last month with no expectations as to the format because of the circumstances that I attended so imagine my surprise when I heard one of the hardest 70,s records to obtain on a 7" single. Gloria Scott. Too much love making. Casablanca.

That's so very true. I've actually seen some collections in DJ boxes that could buy you a very nice detached house if they sold them but they couldn't get the records to flow or blend together wether that was just that particular night I don't know You also don't need to be a millionaire to play a decent set, play from your heart not your wallet.

As a ex promoter, DJ and collector I've got all the bases covered Promoter. I was brought up in the belief that the nighter scene was and still should be original vinyl only and that was the policy at Winsford. You have to trust the people that you book to have the same integrity as yourself because you can't stand next to them whilst they play there set. DJ. I was in the fortunate enough position to be able too afford most of the records that I have wanted which enabled me to be able too play original vinyl only but that to me is a unwritten law so even if I had boots of the real big ticket tunes I wouldn't have played them out anywhere. Collector. As above fortunate enough to be able to afford them and having enough friends who recognised my tastes in music to put me onto many records before they became popular even found a few myself. If I couldn't afford or justify them I simply didn't buy them end of. Steve

Steve Smith boots.. sorry only shoes.

Ken. There's a few people on here and other places that think I should be licensed Steve. Ste. I'm Spartacus. Smith

Looking good my friend. Soon be sorted.

Think there's 5 Steve Smith's on here. That's the reason why Winsfordsoul is my user name plus running the nighters there made sort of sense I'm Spartacus

Many years ago when I had one of the first Terry Callier. Ordinary Joe. Cadet demos I was offered through a third party £750 and a further percentage amount depending on sales to lend my record out. A small part of me was tempted not with the money but at the thought of lots more people would have the chance to get a copy of one of the greatest songs ever laid down on vinyl but i couldn't do it on principle. Steve

Thanks kegsy.

Scandal of fake hip replacement joints on the market, cost the NHS millions in replacement operations. Buying on the cheap. Steve

There where loads knocking about in the early to mid 90,s esp motown stuff, someone on here will know who was behind them all and know a lot more than I do. Steve

One of the Widnes girl's( KM )used to move and shake me 💘💘💘 What about Nancy , sorry can't remember her surname used to buy and sell plenty of tunes, think she may have DJ at Lowton Civic in the early days. Steve

How many where reproductions of original labels not just boots to fool people into buying what they thought was the genuine record. Because we all know it has happened Steve

They all are. Everyone is auctioning common records these days. Its the new trendy thing to do , the more they go for the more commission is earned, then some people think that's the going rate. But people in the real world who have values and principles know different. Steve

Andy. I'd forgotten about George. Top man, top DJ. Top Collection. Had the pleasure of DJ with him a few times. Steve

There's a few young soulies doing a good job. Sarah Jane Calvin Lee Eithan Kenwood suite at Bury. All the DJ,s are very good and would grace the decks at any venue . Grumpy soul crew can mix it with the best of them. Ted Massey, Paul Shirley, Dick Kropp. Andy Dyson. Chris Anderton, Steve Plumb, Flanny. Baz Meleedy. Are just a few plus the usual suspects .Butch, Shifty. Steve

Never a problem with no alcohol. Bring it back for me. Steve

Always been in my top five records. Nay. Probably top three. Absolutely brilliant record. As good as it gets. Steve

That's what he said to me as it went for the price I said it was worth last week before he blocked me. Steve

Gaz. Patch it would have to be a coat to cover all the different genre's mate. Trust the lovely Debs and yourself are well and safe.

KFC. oops I meant KTF. There we go Len. A new name for your next soul club. Creme de la Creme . Steve

I said that to myself on Saturday night 🤣🤣

Who !!!
