Cheers mate, I didn't buy it through Ebay but he offered it to me following an Ebay bid. When I challenged him on the condition he said "that's what I bought it as" as if that was any excuse. See you Friday.

I bought a copy of Mickie Champion from A. Weaver in the Nottingham area a few months ago. Stated to be M-, I rate it as a well worn VG. I've not been able to get a refund from this guy and he is now not answering my emails. His Ebay ID is Sibbie0. Be very careful if negotiating to buy from him sight unseen. Is there anyone out there in Soul Source land who could help out please? I've attached a scan of the label.

7 out of the last 8 I've seen for sale on lists were £40, the odd one out was £25.

I think Rod Dearlove may have one of these for sale.

Good call. I pulled out Brenton Wood 'Take a chance' on Double Shot to play on Wednesday - cracking midtempo and cheap as chips. Several people came up to the decks to ask what it was too! A great tonic for anyone behind the decks.

A US dealer Col.

At least you were right on the cold bit!

They're from Finland!

Some of these are quite expensive these days, but I'm wary of this guys grading. Price is OTT.

Is there a problem Dave?

I agree entirely what you are saying, although I personally didn't find out about the other 2 until I'd already posted about Johnny's free niter on here and Soul Talk.

Do you mean the clash between Johnny Gamel's birthday party & the NCS do? (There was also Yann & Mile's Soul Devotion do on the same night, so a three way split). Johnny did make the 8 - 1.30 period R&B so that there wouldn't be a split.

Helen & I went to the last Crossfire by public transport. We stayed to the end and got home via 2 night buses around 5am having left at 3.15. Might as well have gone onto one of the after parties really and made a night of it!

As one of the co-promoters of Soul in the City I thought I might say a few words here. We've been running SITC for 3 & 1/2 years now, in 4 different venues. 3 have had a dance floor and one didn't. At the end of our dance floorless run we got down to 15 attendees including us 4 Djs, but we soldiered on because everybody who did come enjoyed having a few beers whilst listening to some good music. At the start of the KFC adverts we were approached by Nylon, a City night club to run a weekly Northern night. We, quite rightly we felt, countered their proposal and offered to run a monthly night. We were there 7 months and attendances were very good (peaking at over 100). They closed down and we found a new venue, Vivo, just the other side of Cheapside, where we've been ever since. It has a great dancefloor and although the venue is smaller than Nylon, it has quite a lot of seating and so can look quite empty early on if no one's dancing, but once people are up on the floor the atmosphere changes completely. Now onto attendances in general. My feeling is that, as the last night at These Old Shoes proved people will come out to a midweek do in London in numbers, but the general apathy level in London, means that a lot of people don't bother. TOS for the last year of it's life soldiered on with fairly low attendances and yet the last night was rammed. As Rbman said above, we must use our nights or lose them. Everyone you speak to regrets the demise of TOS, but how many made the effort? Clashing of dates is a cardinal sin, this must surely be a case of 'let's work together'. Travelling to and from dos can be a real pain if you don't drive or, like me, enjoy a few beers with your soul music, but it's quite often possible to blag a lift off of one of those who do drive. I got a lift home from Hatfield to Bromley, Kent the other week & to and from Brighton at the weekend, & gave 2 people a lift home from SITC on Wednesday, so it is possible. I hope that SITC isn't considered a dead duck, as we put a lot of work into promoting the night and play a good spread of Northern Soul of all genres. As DJs, you will quite often find us asked to DJ at various other venues, both at home and occasionally abroad, so hopefully we're doing something right. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the quite large number of Soul Sourcers who came along on Wednesday for turning up and hope that you all had a good time at Vivo and that we'll see you again soon.
