Thanks. I'll be in Leeds already that evening in the car so no need this time, but add me to your outlook calendar so i can choose lifts during the rest of the year

I've never been to this event, even though it's not too far from me. I think I'll give it a try in 2011. Phil

Cheers mate Phil

:thumbsup:

Oh dear. Look at all the other stuff they have as well. Do folks actually buy this kind of thing? And if so why? Phil

I suppose it just illustrates that beauty (and quality) is in the ear of the beholder and the NS scene is a very broad church Phil

Suitable penance! You are forgiven. Go in peace

I am glad you can admit it. But do you repent? Phil

So did Joe Dolce - Shaddap You Face at our local nightclub back in the day Popularity is never a reliable indicator of quality. Phil

And on the "bad" side of this thread.... Thankfully not got any of ';em on any format Larry Trider - Carbon Copy Profiles - Take A Giant Wrap Roscoe & Friends - Broadway Sissy One question about all these three ....... Why? Phil

Three for me, which are still my top three of all time. Thankfully now got 'em all on original vinyl. Court Davis - Try To Think What You're Doing Don Gardner - Cheatin' Kind Eric Mercury - Lonely Girl Awesome! Phil

I'm with you - i'm born again Wigan was the first real soul place I ever went to, the first all-niter I ever went to and for me was, and still is, a magical special place. The whole week was spent, for me and many like me, just waiting for the weekend to go to The casino. The whole experience, the journey there, the journey home, the recreational pharmaceuticals, the latest record purchase, the new sound you heard for the first time, seeing mates from across the land. Magic! Phil

Done!

It does to me too. But that's why I only collect and release 'em instead of making 'em

I'm pleased to announce that the deal has now been done and the next release on Soul Intention wil be ... SI005 - Otis Williams - Take Me Back / I Got To Have You Hope to have it available by mid Jan. This has got to be one of the best 70's double-siders ever! Phil

I know where you're coming from Mark, but each to their own. I don't only chase rare records myself. I'm after every record that I like and that I don't already own. I don't DJ either and never have particularly (other than the odd night here and there) but still just have a burning desire to own them all on the original vinyl. Phil

I have been accused before of overpaying for records. But if you want a record and can afford is it overpaying? I have, based on the reverse of that same logic, seriously underpaid for records too. I spend, compared to the average buyer I suppose, quite a lot on records but value is all about how much you want it and how much you'll pay for it. As to what I do with them? Just play them at home mostly. I only ever play vinyl at home and don't mind getting up every 3 minutes or so to change the record. Phil

I have a mint minus copy available for the right price. Phil

I still have about 20-30 of these. Binned at least 50 of them about 18 months ago. Wish I'd kept them now Me and Crofty did them back in 1988 Phil

I didn't laugh at all Pete. Just made £999 profit. Come to think of it I did laugh at the time. But not for long cos I spent the lot on other records that mostly decreased in value

I know, I know ... But this film shows, if anything , as Feodor Dostoevsky said "There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it." Phil

Just seen it in Bradford. I've given it 7/10. I enjoyed it, as entertainment pure and simple. It did give me a sense of nostalgia. It wasn't a perfectly accurate representation of the Casino but it did capture the atmosphere. The dance-off was very contrived but worked to an extent as an artisitc tool to showcase the rivalry. but it only lasted a minute or so. Overall quite enjoyable, But what do I know? I've never watched a Russian art house film in my life Phil

Going to see it tonight. Looking forward to it. Hope it's as good as the last film I saw - Trasnsformers 2 Phil
