From 78 to 81 the playlists of pat brady-sam-richard searling -raistrick etc had a massive effect on the underground eighties scene -it wasnt all joe 90 etc,can remember dancing to George Kirby etc very slow tempo and thinking WOW THIS IS IT -Stafford etc to me just carried it on in all fairness.The casino broke some simply incredible records -as for the age thing well our bus ranged from 14 to lads/lasses in their early thirties,some curious some old torchites etc,all out for a good night. The mod revival of 79 to me brought alot of strangers to the casino -people that went for the music many didnt give a shite aboout the fashion "some of the pics of us lot can certainly validate that lol",all in all i had some momments there dancing to Joe Mathnews -Vicky Baines etcv that will take some beating -eighties was better cos I had the cash to buy some of the sounds spun at the casiino however lol!! The place gets alot of shit thrown at it due to the commercialisation of the scene and the nostalgia etc -it was still a shit hot soul club-certainly would of blown the arse off most of the dos now excluding some of the more forward thinking ones- the record bar was great fun also. BAZ A

i really dont know Pete to be honest -infact ive not pulled mine out for about 4 years lol-sure someone will confirm if the demos are authentic - vis a vis ive never seen the uk solid centre one lol. BAZ A Sorry, I was thinking of the UK pressed white label one with the solid centre - I've never seen that import one, at that price is it real?

THIS IS THE WHITE ONE I THINK FROM THAT LOVELY PLACE OF AUTHENTIC RECORDS BELGIAN !!! https://www.musicpriceguide.com/421251/RUBY-SHERRY-FEMININE-INGENUITY-TAKE6INC-PROMO-COPIES.html baz a

WHITE LABEL ?? Sound interseting wouldnt mind seeing one of them to be honest -thiknk I saw a one on youtube with the flip side scribbled out come to think about it -ill have a look!! BAZ A the take 6 version of feminine inginuity is longer than the gold token version, both sides of the take 6 disc were booted on a solid centre disc with a plain white label some have had the titles handwritten on some hav'nt

To my knowledge this has not been booted George -i have the take 6 one for the immaculate flip and your descriptions are similar to mine,the gold token version by the way has 2 different versions a shorter and slightly longer one if memory serves me right,I do saythis with resevation however as almost everything these days has been booted -you just have to look at british ebay to see some of the shite posted!!! I f you get the time get a scan to me etc and ill do a compare and contrast sad bastard that I AM!!! LOL. BAZ A

I love the record but love the flip side more spun it out a bit late eighties thats the flip-someone post it up sure its in refo-soul-philandrine !!! im struggling with snow at the momment and need to fly!! BAZ A

check out love bug that i put in refo-soul its bloody brill imho!! BAZ A

very sad news -loved the fsanzines -RIP DAVE!! BAZ A

YEP CERTAINLY WORTHY OF FELOW COLLECTORS PITCHING IN WITH A FEW QUID TO HELP -IM HAPPY TO CONTRIBUTE-GOOD IDEA PETE!! I'll try and think of some way I might be able to raise some money towards the costs Darren. Or we could send a hunting party over there for a surprise visit

lol just looking back now over lunch and have dug some old pics out of Delaware St in Buffalo - im 3 pages in already on this over lunch and not got to the smutty bits yet Nice one Baz,don't forget to mention the massage parlours - it would be incomplete without...

Gonna get my type to te ground over the weekend and do this justice which will be a awesome read when completed[the book not my escapades lol],my first visit was 1989 ive been trawling through some of my old cards [record cards were popular back then remembering some of the absolute sh--t holes id been to lol,with fond hilarious memories -ive also got some old pics of my scouting records in florida in 1990 which are bloody mad-did i really have such a flat top haircut-looking forward to putting these down on print and essentially having a laugh-which lets face it -is what its about -funny old business record hunting not for the faint hearted. Nicola ill get my stuff to you asap including pics etc and incorporate this years visist also. BAZ A

enjoyed the film immensly particulary howling wolf and thought Beyonce done well -artistic licence yes and a shame it concentrated on Leonard Chess but still i think it is hard to do this kind of film without the artistic licence - would of loved to have seen Howling wolf and Muddy Waters With Etta at their peak. BAZ A

just realised i have but there dancing to a different soundtrack on this one -wasnt it ton of dynamite there were dancing too!! baz, im astounded you havent seen this footage before:ohmy: are you older than me or what?

just found out the missing dancers have turned up here - years have not bee good to them but there sure have kept their moves-really feel this footage would be better with perhaps theme from joe 90 or maybe shake a tail feather. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFabXpgXrm0

this is the same year folks -the famous soul train line dance -interesting comparison !!some top moves here !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7MiG2fe8lE

first time ive seen this footage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEGCklaJSF0 heres some footage of the lads just before there got all punky and supported the ramones -i tell you what these cats can play!!!
