Thanks for that Win, I wouldn't have thought 90% but I know you travel around the country on a regular basis so perhaps you can gauge it better than me. That's a shame for me really.

The thread was really about honesty, nothing more than that. It has diluted itself into other issues that some of us struggle with. What I was saying really was that my issue has and always will be about HONESTY - nothing more and nothing less. Just tell the truth and we make our decisions accordingly. I don't care what other people play at their do's, I REALLY don't but please don't insult us and reckon you are playing something that you are not. Nothing to do with being a "Soul Police Man", It's just that if I pay £10 to go to a do that "intimate" they play originals and they don't, I just feel ripped off. It's nothing to do with first issues Kent and Horace's arguments, it is to do with honesty. Diluting it all down to what some call the pernickety approach to Soul music just detracts from the real issue and allows the pressers and carvers to ruin the scene. Plenty bemoan about the amount of do's on a Saturday night - there are so many because there are so many boots and pressings out there. I'm sorry friends, but you can't have it all ways.

Bought this one drunken night .............. regretted it in the morning. Thing is, I got offered a box of them - luckily I only had my bus fare home! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6934gBRdtoc

Ok, the argument about OVO has gone on forever and, yes, we all understand the intricate argument too; occasionally it also becomes a bore. HOWEVER, after a long and sometimes heated chat over the weekend and some folk feeling betrayed (when they believe in OVO) at events they assumed were OVO/OFO etc turned out not to be - i.e. two big clubs seen playing pressings yet charging a few quid above the minimum wage to get in. So, should events advertise as: OVO - Northern Club - Manchester - 9-3 - £5 entry so that folk who truly believe in rare soul can make that choice. If it is a general Northern night that includes pressings and the crowd are not that bothered about originality and more interested in meeting mates and just dancing to the tunes then it could be advertised as: Northern Club - Manchester - 9-3 - £5 entry. For me, the "100% vinyl" tag is just a cop out. OVO or not, could we start using this on the events page? Jim

I'm just a drifter, well I wasn't always down, Cos once I had a girl by my side A love so strong that money couldn't buy (no no no) Then heaven called and took her away Out of my arms and left me to wander. Ray Pollard - The Drifter Gets me everytime.
