Anybody got a copy of Mark Capanni - I Believe In Miracles (original version of Jackson Sisters) they want to part with or any info on said record? Pretty sure it's album only & think it originates from Germany but not sure. Any info more than appreciated. TIA, Mart...

Here we go again

Swan cases are about the best pre-made cases on the market Chalky but there's just one problem with them & that's the handles. They're fine for a small box like a 7" 100 count but for anything bigger they don't half dig into your hands if you're carrying them for any length of time. Got a 12" 100 count Swan case & it's bombproof but still got the scars from carrying it round Bolton one night.

Copied & pasted most of it from previous House threads Roger to save folks typing it all out again (considerate modding eh ). Also thought it would make a change from Simon's 1 line replies

Soul? SOUL?? How dare you call this bloody soul - funky disco sh1te more like. Can hear all this 'boom boom bang bang' stuff in any nightclub on a saturday night. Nearly fell off my Polyveldts when I played this & had to bury my head in my 1978 Wigan holdall. Daren't tell you what happened to our Gladys's 88" circle skirt when she heard it Can't be soul for a start because there ain't a single track on it made before 1970. Can't tell when one record finishes & the next one bloody starts. What use is that to a DJ? Everybody knows a 45 lasts about 3 minutes then the DJ tells you what it was then plays the next one while we clap politely. Can't do that to this bloody rubbish. Where's a man supposed to do a backdrop to this never mind a swallow dive, the splits & six spins. Mix this, mix that & mix t'other? what's all that about? Should go back to mixing concrete sonny my lad. And what's all that about with the covers? What's wrong with a picture of a dancer in his 40" baggies & vest & patches eh? Before you jump in & accuse me of being narrow minded I'll let you know I love all 3 kinds of soul music - club classics, northern & motown & I even danced to the Brothers - Are You Ready For This last week & the week before & the week before that as well so don't tell me I don't know what modern soul is. Soulsorts in the house. More like bloody Spoilsort & not in my house. Signing off now, A very disgruntled Hector from Halifax.....

Beat me to it Andy. Probably also the friendliest weekender as well along with the Wakefield City Soul Club weekender that I am just recovering from (also free). Would also add Brid to the list, only £20 & without doubt the best weekender venue in the UK (IMO).

Nah don't tar them all with the same brush Davie, good & bad in all genres. Suggest you have a listen to Ray Charles's last album that he cut before he passed away called Genius & Friends. Sort of brings together the best of old & new R&B & features Ray duetting with people like Leela James, John Legend, Mary J Blige, Gladys Knight & the above mentioned Angie Stone. Just a shame Atlantic didn't think it was worthy of a UK release though Having a nightmare with my pc or I would post a couple of tracks in refosoul for you to have a listen to.

Far from ashamed Davie. Was just offering an alternative point of view. After all they are both hammered to death in main rooms as the thread suggested. Seems I'm not the only one either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Kelly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angie_Stone Was also at a night recently that featured amongst others DJ'ing Joe Dutton, Ted Coulsone & Hoss & have still got the cotton wool that I removed from my ears to prove it

Best just stick to R&B I think. Spelt ow't else wrong possTot

Best record on the page by a country mile. Spanner in't works time though Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You. R Kelly - Up & Outta Here. Both top current R&B artists. Both played in so called 'main rooms'. Funny old scene innit

Link not working Mark. Try this. https://www.firstexperiencerecords.com/

Not kidding there Kenny lad

Calm it down Lad's or take it to PM's.

Deserve all you get at Akbars Simon. Bet you didn't manage to finish the nan bread

UK dealer sat on a boxfull of these.

Ezzie knows what I mean Refers to some silly comment I made on my profile when I first joined & never got round to changing.

Right then here goes, The way I see it is most music is electronic apart from percussion, horns & some strings. Guessing you like your 60's RnB & if so what would it sound like without the main 3 instruments, the electric guitar, the bass guitar & the now legendary Hammond organ? All electronic Then we get to the vocals, whats that in the singers hand? A microphone. They'd sound pretty silly if it wasn't plugged in & ran through a mixing system & an amplifier to enhance the sound I'm sure you'll agree. The only reason there were no synths & computer generated music on 60's tracks is simply because the technology was not around but you can bet your bottom dollar if it was it would have been used 99% of the time. Might I suggest you have a listen to Stevie Wonders albums Songs In The Key Of Life & The Secret Life Of Plants & you might see where I'm coming from. Off to do a bit of climbing with Ingrid now

Think they're all arguing on here in the umpteen OVO threads in AATS Pete

Original vinyl only = original speed only. Boot = Boot the speed up & down if you like Seriously though the tools are there to use so if you feel comfortable using them get on with it.

First I've heard of it on a 12" Newly done Ian? Did you get the text fella?

Post 30

PM'd you. Mart...

Classic example of this is Garfield Flemming - Don't Send Me Away on Beckett. Total waste of vinyl.

In all the years I've been on here I think the above is the daftest comment I have ever read
