Errr...opposite to the people that are "left"? ....................when this so-called "bubble" bursts that is..... (God sometimes I`m so sharp I could cut myself! Oscar Wilde eat your heart out..) They told us it had ended when certain venues closed in the eighties..and they stopped putting Wayne Gibson on Top Of The Pops (Oooo! Anyone else still remember that it was sooo embarrassing!!) -but we`re STILL here!

Ah..I once had one of those..I forget where I got it...It was a brittle, hard thing (resembled a 7" 78),also with typing on the label..had PREVIEW RECORDS printed on the label. It was ROD KEITH-LIKE THE LORD SAID. I accidentally melted it when I was totally off my face! Which was most of the time! I once previously played it for Saus who told me it was worth 3 or 4 figures..Ah well,easy come easy go....

Hear, hear..

Sell em back to the Yanks of course! For a lot more than I paid for em! Then fly back over there and discover some more..!! Then break em. Then watch their value rocket. Then sell em back to the...

Along with some "SLICED TOMATOES" ?? And on two "grils" it`s "DOUBLE COOKIN" ?Alright,alright- I`ll get me` coat, Dave...

You`re always welcome anytime! See you soon, brother!

Bazza-We are talking the 4th of August? Are you sure you weren`t dressed in a tinted shirt and wearing BLACK specs? Seriously though, taking into account the size of the room we can never get a vast amount of people in anyway! But I think it was in fact one of our biggest crowds so far this year! At least it SEEMED to be-maybe because everyone seemed to be on the dancefloor most of the night! Glad you like it though.

Phil-I couldn`t have put it better myself....Right on bro..

Didn`t see you there, Cap`n! You just seemed to "ghost in" from astern!! How be things?

Thanks Bazza-so that one didn`t get past you-it was my last spin at Pilsley! I think Pikey`s got one too-don`t think he plays it that much though...

Blimey! Chris King`s changed a bit! And so`s his accent!!

I admit I`m a deejay. I admit I have quite a record collection. I admit that I only used to attend all-nighters and only treated soul nights as "warm ups" .I also admit to being one of the biggest musical snobs on the scene at one time. I admit that original vinyl 45`s (and also LP`s) are assets which are a sound financial investment because in most cases they will only increase in value. But I love `em that much I`d rather play `em than sell em on! As a kid I could only buy what I could afford and/or find. And nothing`s really changed. Originals are a lovely rare and wonderous thing. But only if you can afford `em! Or find `em. Or both. And most of the fun`s in the hunt. But the main thing I`ve learned over the years (since 1974) is..... "IT`S WHAT`S IN THE GROOVE THAT COUNTS" Love the music. Not the monetary value....

Cap`n! Cap`n? Liniment? So who`s drunk all the rum again?

That`s right, Neil. A sad loss to us all. I received a text from Moz Sunday morning telling us the bad news. Gutted.

Here`s some sad news about Dennis from Clowne, Derbyshire. "Clowne Soul Brother Dennis passed away on Friday 4th August 2006. Our thoughts are with his family at this time." A top man all round and we are glad to have known him and honoured to have him as our friend. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
