Old and dark run down venue's often have the best atmosphere, along with the old musty smell that comes with them
I also love smart venues such as Lifeline at "Ye Old Bell Inn", atmospheric, cosy and offers everything you need for a top niter. Imo.
Think it was Wigan Tiffany's went once hated every minute, too smart and Palm tree's, just didn't do it for me.
The venue, unless really bad and rundown isn't that important, except must have decent toilets. The reason's I'm there in the first place is what matters most to me

I feel it's a bad idea - the reason! We all have non soul friends and a lot of us have children, my daughter is 15, has lot's of mate's round so they have been exposed to Northern all their live's. A few think it's ok but much prefer other type's of music.
My sister came to a few venue's in the early 90's, but didn't continue, non of her friends took to it either. It seem's to me it's something that's a part of you or not - that simple. We found it without the modern technology available today - giving far more access to it than ever before. In the 70's it was just word of mouth and were still here
What I'm trying to say is that new people that really want to get into it come along with friend's that are already on the scene. Could be a worry that if put out into the mainstream and become's common place, that it would attract general around town folk, just coming along to get drunk, cause trouble or pester female's - wouldn't make for a good atmosphere

Curtis Mayfield - Move on up has depth n feeling to the voice that can't be re-created - but that goes without saying.
Think he has a fabulous voice to hit the high note's - and sound's better than most in the chart's today, certainly should be making a living recording. Not being critical - just making an observation - especially put against the original, he's voice needs to flow a lot more, does a lot of with holding slightly and stop start style of singing ( not sure how to describe what I mean )
this dosen't apply when he hits those high note's - he hit's those perfect

Baz. I remember it from way back then in Knowsley road. Dont know why i bought mine. Cant even remember when or where. it never realy done it for me. Its like a lot of records at the moment just because certain DJ,s are playing it. IT MUST BE GOOD
Cat and pigeons etc
Steve
You've a very pessimistic outlook their Steve
I can only speak for myself - I go on the record it's self - whether I like it or not - a record is not good just because a certain DJ plays it - like wise it's not rubbish cause they don't either

Might not be as 'instant' as Sweet Memories, but still a quality tune that would probably sound 10 times better over a big sound system in a club.Don't really think any tune should be dismissed or disregarded cus it ain't seen to be as good as 'his/her/their other one'.......surely that attitude would take us back to the Top 500 only mentality?????
I agree
I don't take into account previous history on artist/recordings or value/rarity - I judge each tune on its own merit - listen to it independantly,never swayed by other peoples opinions etc - have a mind of my own

FolksI know, I know; some love it and some don't but I'm desperate for one back (having sold one few years ago for around 600); can someone give me what they think is a realistic valuation in today's crazed world!
Cheers
Phil
Phil - don't ever apologise for loving such an awesome record
be proud n shout it from the roof tops like I always do
A couple of years back one for sale near £2000 mark - in recent months I had one in my hands for £800, didn't have the cash or would have bought it then n there
but thank god he saw the light
n put it back in his play box - so now I pester him to play it out and I get to dance
Not telling who though as when I've got the cash it's mine...

Not quite as good as Sweet memories, but only a whisker in it!
Given it several plays - does nothing for me at all

Talc - Love It Or Loathe It?
in All About the SOUL
Up to a few years ago I used talc. Always had respect for others that didn't though, put a small amount on side of floor then stood in it when needing more. Don't understand why people pour it all over spot their dancing in no need.
I've since discovered the beauty of having special soles and heels on my dancing shoes. They come in different surfaces - smooth, slight, med or very gripped etc found the cobbler in my village very helpful, so I no longer need talc.
People must have just stood and poured it onto the floor for it to get into everything. I danced on the carpet week last Friday so didn't notice.
