That's me out of time then ........So many, but.........at the minute..........between.......Lester Tipton and the Ravins ........but that could change......in the meantime

Could that statement not be misinterpreted somewhat Ken?

I'd never heard of the label before seeing/listening to a certain gem in Ezzies salesbox at the Kestrel.....

Just a personal slant on this Barry.....in the early days....me and the ex didn't comply to the norm, with regards to anything other than pro-plus and to a degree were ostracised which was sometimes uncomfortable on a 52 seater......I would hazard a guess that out of the 52, myself and the ex are the only individuals still attending some 35 years on, from aforementioned 52 seater....with regard to cliques..they existed in the early 70's and to some extent, some of the same cliques still exist today, however, and whilst respect is due to many....I will never ever know the words to every favourite tune, or even proclaim to know everything about anything associated with our scene.....other than I've loved every minute of it musically.....the rest is ..... personal ! Respect wilxy

Spent some memorable times at Lea Manor......

Pete, I know exactly where your coming from with regard to the latter paragraph, and albeit my collecting habit has slowed down recently,I had been chasing a couple of big Detroit pieces for a long while, which I was chuffed to eventually obtain....alas just like xmas I look forward to it immensely....it comes.....I "enjoy the moment" but it goes flat pretty quickly, and similar to the xmas trimmings,ends up neatly tucked in a box.....roll on next xmas.....

PM'd you

Sad news indeed RIP Uriel....

Having missed the "initial" airing courtesy of BBC4 on Friday evening, I was "lucky" enough to be "indoors" last night,to view most of the proceedings, and regardless of the "warts and all" overview from a "viewing" perspective, remain both humble and grateful that such a "musical enigma" would influence both my social and personal life to such a degree.....respect....wilxy

Whilst not wishing to start political debate, a certain so called lady has not just left a legacy of initiating such superb venues eventual demise, but moreover destroyed communities and their livelihoods end of... ....rant over......

JM's "guide" quotes £300.....can't say I know it tho'....best wilxy

Perhaps, as the song goes...."Only the strong survive"......Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sure there are "promoters" out there who can elaborate???

Hi Paul, Just to say....Sincere Respect to you, and I hope, even this late in the day, so to speak,you are able to deservedly recoup the fruits of your labour.....cheers wilxy

Anybody

Peace & Love-Free and Easy-Carol G label....could anyone kindly give me any info with regard to the label, and where it was produced? Credits name Herby Williams as arranger, C.B. Blair as producer and masterdisc credits to Danny Dallas,. The tune is uptempo ealy 70's I'd guess and as one of my more recent acquisitions, would appreciate any help with "background" detail.....cheers wilxy

Just ensure you keep your eyesight in spec then Rod.....otherwise you could end up with a nasty headache

Awesome track buddy

I'll stick to one, as the thread title suggests, and having heard it played "out" last weekend, just reminded me of how good it was loud..... Whole lot of shakin' in my heart (since I met you)- The Miracles.....

Cetainly not from expertise Andy, but you've partly answered the latter part of your question....unless anyone can say differently???

Amen to that Neil.....

Oo-err Tezza, whilst I share in particular the Burnley "ethos" with your goodself,....If work allows I wouldn't mind the "musical fayre" that the forthcoming Coventry "doo" in particular, should offer as it's both pretty local, and Sounds pretty awesome, irrelevant of what time it starts or finishes.(wish there was more of this ilk that I knew about personally!)...The DJ line up sounds pretty decent also ....The point is I suppose, is in reference to "doing exactly what it says.. etc..." cheers wilxy

..... ????

Whilst I love all the upbeat Motown sides,both classic and unreleased obscurity, a few more downbeat items that hit the button ..... What's going on-Marvin Gaye Way back home-Junior Walker................ and my fave- I wish it would rain-Temptations.............MOTOWN 50 and still loving it! wilxy

My collection comprises of most of the Detroit labels, however the only problem being, is ...............the wants list outweighs the wallet
