Easy to do. Just listen to some soul music. Job done!

It's Karen!

Does he still drive a plastic car?

Iif I were promoting these days, I'd have a punt on a freebie, or at least a cheapie. Got to be worth throwing a few grand at as an investment, as there's always a deal to be done on the bar take if numbers are attractive enough. I've not seen Crofty for 15 years or more. If you see him again pass on my regards. I bet he's got more hair than me these days Phil

Why actually do people run soul nights and all-nigters? Is it purely to provide entertainment to like-minded folks or does the attraction of maybe making some money play a part? Or is it the fact that if you run your own do then you get a chance to DJ? The chance to play my tunes to lots of people was certainly a major factor to me when I used to run niters and soul nights. The money was quite welcome too If most people claim to be putting events on for purely altruistic reasons, then would there be any valid objections to a new regular night starting in a centrally located venue with top name DJ's, top live acts that was (just like the NHS) completely free at the point of delivery, IE no admission fee whatsoever? Before anyone asks, no I'm not planning to start one:) Thoughts? Phil

Compact Soul!

Not too bad thanks. I'm just getting hold of a few bits that I particularly like, used to have and sold. Not too many though, just the odd one or two. Mostly I'm getting rid of stuff

Anyone got one for sale? Cheers Phil

Cheers. It's a sellers market though I suppose. If you want a record then you gotta pay. particularly if buying on ebay when the whole competition thing comes into play as well.

How much would you expect to pay for a Dynamics - I Need your Love - RCA these days? Cheers Phil

It's better to DJ to yourself at home anyway mate. You know that the audience loves every track you play Phil

I don't buy much these days (I mostly sell stuff) but I've been recently been getting a few back that I previously sold and particularly wanted to get have again. In the last few days I've bought: Cavaliers - Hold To My Baby Little Tommy - Baby Can't You See Greater Experience - Don't Forget To Remember Cautions - No Other Way Rita & The Tiaras - Gone With The Wind Mickey Buckins - Silly Girl Phil

Nice one Mike. Well done

Sorry Mike. Didn't mean to "sting". However, if he is/was a friend then I think you'll find forgiving him and then discussing it with him will quite possibly "sting" him into sorting the issue out. Phil

Why thank you Bob. Forgiveness is so refreshing, exhilarating and liberating I find. Phil

No. Not at all. I have however caused people problems in the past I admit. And as I come across people whom I have previously wronged I am sorting these issues out. I just hope I live long enough to undo all my wrongs. It's a big list as I was a total twat for much of my life. Phil

Forgive him.

I knew the "sound" of the record but never the title. Just knew when i played it that it was a record I'd heard out & about, and that I liked it. I wasn't going to that many do's in the early 90's, and didn't really buy records much other than numerous trips to the states. It was only later when I started going again regularly and DJ'ing at the odd soul night that I found that it was very sought after, hence later selling it to Carl Willingham. But even then I didn't realise just how obscure it really was.

I never had a clue how rare this was when I got it. And didn't really have when I sold it some 8/9 years later either, or i would never have got rid of it for what i did. The irony of it is that I sold it to fund another trip to the US, then got locked up for 3 months 2 days before I was due to go. So I lost the ticket money etc etc and gained nothing Such is life. Phil

I also found a copy of this in Detroit. I got mine in 1991 at Street Corner Music in Ferndale, MI. Later sold it to Carl Willingham. I had always thought that these Moments (on Hog) were the same Moments that recorded on the Detroit label "Hit Productionsl" amongst others" But I bow to your awesome knowledge Rob, as the name Mizell does appear on the label. Phil

Has to be Little Milton for me. Wonderful, emotional delivery. Those Chess brothers knew a good thing wehn they heard it. I could listen to Little Milton "more and more all the time". Phil

No. The production may not be to everyone's taste. But to dismiss this as "cash in rubbish", no matter what your opinion of Levine - the man or his music, is just plain wrong. IF he ever ends up making anything like "real money" out of this then I would be very surprised. Like it or not it was a genuine (albeit at times one-sided) attempt to give some of the best loved songs and artistes that make up this genre that we call Northern Soul a one and only (and for some it was because they're now dead) chance to get their stuff out on video to their fans. Levine has done some great stuff, some good stuff, some mediocre stuff and some right old cack, but at least he's done stuff. This video or DVD is, to my mind, verging on great in places (irrespective of whatever you may think of the video production techniques). I know that Levine can be his own worst enemy, but to dismiss this video as rubbish is way off the mark. Phil

Well you can't have one of mine. My less than perfect copy will be going to E0999 for the princely sum of £0 Sorry! Phil

I think that's more than a bit overpriced. Would have thought £8-£10 tops. Since when has quality ever had any bearing on price? In fact. I have a VG- yellow issue. It can go for free, just cost of postage. Phil

How much does this go for? I have issues on both red and yellow labels Phil
