And I used to get a right bollocking from a certain promoter called Ray Hudson (R.I.P. brother) for doing so.....

Rosco Gordon? Didn`t know it but...Nice...right up my street..just the type of 45 I like.... I know Jackie Shane and Anna King of old..rare northern. Used to be spun at a certain nighter I used to attend.....

Nah, just joking myself Paul! But it`s amazing what stuff you accumulate in your boxes over the years. Sometimes you struggle to remember: Where you bought it Who you bought it from Why the hell you bought it in the first place!!!!

Got it in a soul pack (10 for a fiver) years ago-think I`ve still got it somewhere...(Hey girl.......)

What? Me personally?

Your superior musical tastes know no bounds, sir! You ARE correct! It IS on DRA!! Where I got ARP from is anyones guess.Probably got mixed up with something else. Alcohol,lack of sleep and forum posts evidently do not mix!

Thanks for the vote Chris! Now I KNOW it`s f****n great!! Opinions,opinions..It`s what makes this scene great!!

Hmmm..not bad I suppose,but I prefer my R N B (like my northern) to be more hard hitting and powerful,because I`m not only a DJ ,I also dance you see...Try this instead...then try finding one. Mine`s the only copy I`ve ever seen. And if you do find another, you have my admiration . Anyway, enough talk...let`s get to the action.. Here`s.. JESSIE MAE-DON`T FREEZE ON ME-ARP

CROSSFIRE?

When buying a copy of ANY recorded material..You do NOT own the audio/video even if you buy an original copy of the material. What you are buying is a licence to play the recording ,and only then under the conditions that the copyright holder states unless special permission is granted. (i.e. an additional licence for public broadcast in radio stations,pubs,clubs etc.) But the beauty of our scene is that the copyright has expired on many of our favourite recordings-a lot of these record and/or music publishing companies have gone to the wall-so can we do what we like with these? I`ve seen a certain deejay doing a spot from his laptop-(it was plugged into the decks)..I was surprised to see this,but so long as the guy owns the originals has anybody got a problem with this? Unethical? Maybe. And then there`s this... https://www.ppluk.com/ppl/ppl_lf.nsf/DigitalDJ?openPage And the people who are against it... https://www.pledgebank.com/djlicense Comments please....

No, they`re old pilots... "There are old pilots And there are bold pilots But there are no old bold pilots..."

I`ve got quite a few in a great big bag. I was one of the sad b**trds who used to collect em (a.k.a. stuffing em in my holdall to use as note paper) you see...From the niters,from the warm-ups (think they call `em soul nites these days... ) from the venues I used to frequent.. I`ll scan some....

DONI BURDICK-BARI TRACK.- SIR...Awesome...You know why..Enough said? SUPERBS-I WANNA DO IT WITH YOU BABY-DORE Little tongue- in- cheek affair on the piano before the real stuff starts.. Also..a few short audio files.. I`ll post them when I stop getting this warning: "The requested file upload failed because suitable permissions have not been enabled on the 'uploads' directory. Please contact the board administrator and inform them of this error." Thank you..

Probably thrown out on purpose by a disgruntled soul widow....

Where did you hear he`d passed on? Who told you? There`s some quite a lot of stuff about Jimmy Randle on here now. He`s more famous now than he ever was. Anyway, he`s not dead. Don`t believe it... Stu Bower

Pilky-R.I.P. Good guy. We had some great laughs. God bless him... Stuart Bower

I`ll ask my mate if he`s got any hanging around, or if he can find any.. He`s from Reading, Philadelphia

You`re probably right!

When you mention Pilky-is that my old mate Alan Pilkington? (Now sadly passed on?) Out for three days solid without sleep..Pilky gave me a lift home over the Pennines. Got on the motorway..he dozed off..I ended up steering the car from the left hand seat until he woke up. .His glasses came off and bounced off the dashboard. Nearly ended up on my nose..Got to my place..He collapsed on the settee and was out for about 13 hours...Happy days..

Yes, Ken. If I remember rightly,she was hanging around him at the Griffin. He kind of introduced me to her-I thought it was his daughter or summat.. and he said he was going away with her..and I never sawe him again...If he is dead she killed him..and we all know how!! Don`t think he`s dead though..he`s the type that could survive a nuclear war and stay around a couple of months after....

No, that was Jimmy "The Hat" Randle from Knottingley in West Yorkshire. He wasn`t that old-he just looked old. Used to dj every now and then at The Manifesto Club. He also had sinus troubles. Nobody`s seen him on the scene in a long time now. Last time I saw him was at the Griffin Hotel niter in Leeds. Stayed at my gaff overnight when he couldn`t get home and stayed three months. Sold me some good 45`s. A bit of a character. Mad as a hatter. Good laugh. Anyone seen him?

Well it HAS been posted somewhere else...
