NUMEROUS STUFF ON BACKBEAT IF YOU DIG,DUKE,PEACOCK,EVEN DE LUX WHICH IS VASTLY UNDERRATED IMHO,SOME OF THE BIGGER DETROIT LOGOS HAVE STUFF BUT YOU AGAIN HAVE TO DIG LU PINE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE AND ALL THE OHTER OBVIOUS ONES OFCOURSE.BRUNSWICK COMES TO MIND IN A WAY IT KEPT THE CHICAGO SOUL SCENE AFLOAT WHEN MANY HAD MOVED ON OR WRITTEN IT OFF AND WAHT ABOUT ALL THE HARD SOUL LOGOS FROM CHICAGO MPAC/ETC ALL CRACKING LOGOS NOT MASSIVE BUT BETTER OUTPUT THAN MANY ENVISAGED. BAZ A

Really good thread this keep it going folks,interesting point to note on a collectors driven scene is why arnt record collectors the ones that are respected and put on so called pedastal? Who would want to be a dj agree with that point cant think of anything good about it other than the joy of discovering a really good tune and getting regognition from like minded people! oh just answered my own question collectors arnt respected because their are sad bastards with no money and visa bills the size of the reserve butter montain who were anoraks or in my case fake prada BAZ A. PS JUST FOUND OUT CONGRESS ARNT BACKING THE PLANS TO SHELL OUT WALL STREET THAT 40 BILLION WOULD BE HANDY PAYING MY VISA BILL!!!

Never went till april 78 so heres a later perspective all favs of mine in cover up mode george kirby,eddie jefferson,vicki baines,joe mathnews,bobby adams,infact most of richards set circa 78-79,roy dawson,love committee.funny but when i look back the record that really takes me back is Danny wagner lost a true love [bloody brill].

IMHO ROB MARRIOT WILL ALWAYS BE THE BOLLOCKS HE RAISED THE ANTI TO ANOTHER LEVEL AND CONSISTENTLY TURNED UP QUALITY RECORDS.I THINK IT IS SO HARD NOW TO ACTUALLY SAY WHAT MAKES A QUALITY DJ SO MANY ARGUMENTS COME INTO THE EQUATION,THE SCENE HAS, AS ALOT OF US KNOW IT HAS WAY GONE AND PUNTERS ARE NOW SPLIT BY A MYRIAD OF SOUL NIGHTS ALL WITH DIFFERNT MUSIC POLICYS ETC. MY QUESTION IS WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT FROM A SET? DO YOU WANT OBSCURITY AFTER OBSCURITY DONT THINK SO,A GOOD MIX DOES IT FOR ME AS A SOUL FAN ALOT OF THE RARER RECORDS LIKE SANDIE GOLDEN ETC JUST DO IT FOR ME MAINLY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO SO MUCH OVER THE YEARS AND I LIKE TO THINK MY TASTES HAVE EVOLVED WITH THAT!! TAKE ANDY DYSONS LAST SET AT THE LAST WILTON I LOVED IT VERY FRESH HE THROWS IN SOLID SOLUTION AND THE DANCE FLOOR CLEARS WELL F--K ME ITS JUST CLEARED TO ONE OF THE BEST RECORDS OF THE NIGHT ,TO ME THIS SAYS MORE ABOUT THE WILTON THAN THE ACTUAL CHOICE OF THIS DICS WITH THE UPTEMPO SIXTIES FLAVOUR BEEN THE PARTICULAR CART BLANCH THAT NIGHT IMHO. THE THING I HAVE FOUND DIFFICULT WITH BUTCH"S SETS IS THAT THERE IS AN ALMOST INVINSIBLE PERSONA AROUND SOME OF HIS CHOICES! HE PLAYS LEE FIELDS AND WOOSH £700 QUID !! AGAIN THAT SAYS MORE ABOUT THE SCENE THAN THE CHOICE OF RECORD WHICH INCIDENTLY IS A GOOD RECORD BUT NOT A GREAT RECORD.I HAVE NOTHING BUT ADMIRATION AND RESPECT FOR BUTCH,HES OUT THERE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT AND BOY YOU MAKE MISTAKES ON THE RARE SOUL SCENE AND YOUR SHOT WITH HOT BALLS OF SHIT. IT IS THE INCESSANT CONTINUAL PURSUIT OF RARE AS OPPOSED TO QUALITY WHICH IS HURTING THIS SCENE IMHO FOR TOO LONG THE CHEQUE BOOK HAS RULED THE ROOST AND THE SETS WITH THE BIG TUNES ARE JUST THAT SETS WITH BIG TUNES, WHICH SOME WHERE ALONG THE LINE THOSE FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED LONG ENOUGH HAVE HEARD ANYWAY!!! GET SOME FUNK,LATIN,CROSSOVER AND CHEAP SIXTIES THAT HAVE NOT HAD THEIR ARSES SPUN OUT OF THEM THEN FINISH YOUR SET WITH MARCELLE STRONG AD THE TRIAD THERES MY PERFECT SET [THINK THATS WHY I DONT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE]LOL. BAZ A.

Played leftovers last night I swear she is a soul goddess if ever there was one,right up there with the top singers LiNDA Jones etc,my man is a sweet man is so underrated imho. BAZ A
