God,some people.!!!

Popcorn.

Well you wouldn't want to dj at a venue you'd criticised anyway.

Glass half full or half empty? Simsy - "numbers down,but dj's gave good account of themselves".Been to a few nights like this.Sometimes its the truth and not always a crap night. Depends how many folks you need around you to have a good time.

Sorry you're offended by vinyl collectors Mick.Or "trainspotters".Or the soul "clique". Everyones truth about a venue is their perception.In general i agree with what your'e saying though.

Hi,after a EX copy of Johnnie Mae Matthews - "My destination" - Northern. Recently got one ,but did swaps etc for other tunes,and was assured this was in clean condition and ok to play out.As the lighting in the venue was,well,it was very dark,and i'm a nice chap ,i took it on trust.The label had ringwear, but the vinyl was supposed to be OK. Its shagged and is probably the worst condition record i've got in my collection.But me bitter - no. It'll be going on a wall montage soon. So,if you have the above in EX condition or above please pm me.Thanks.

Sorry Cunnie,thougth that was a lookback in the wrong section.

Hi Elvis,when you've cracked the Northern code,try the Crossover genre.

Think this has been done before,but my guess is 6 original copies.Dobber,there's an archived thread hidden away on here somewhere,with if i remember correctly,some input from Joey Jefferson on how the Pink came about. The Pink Breakthrough came via the Mecca/Clee influence,and as you said,most looked on them as boots.

There are Treetop's in the US,mainly in the Dakota and Oregon states.Could be of American Indian origin,but why use that name,unless there's a family connection.? There's also one Robert Copney who lived in NY '1945 - 2005.

The Ones - You haven't seen my love - Motown

Its Nev's kidney i'm offering up Dave.

Well i'd like to hear it Rich.

A kidney. And for the record - wow.!!

Why did i think of Hector when i heard this?.For the first time in many years by the way.

Wigan '74 - my first nighter,Yvonne Baker,Ann Perry,Jeanette Williams,Tempo's...the tunes went on an on....musn't forget Jnr Walker live at Wigan as well... After a break from soul,80-90,being took to the 100 club.First nighter in all that time,only knew about 10% of the tunes,but what a night. Came away thinking,"i'm getting back into this",and also something that i've said to myself every weekend since - "You got a lot to learn youth"....

Shawn Robinson - "My dear heart".

On one website there's a claim he may be related to Tommy Bush and Phil Flowers.?

Whats the point of going to a venue with a pre-conceived playlist in your head? Then being disappointed when it doesn't happen.

Yes,always loved it.Eddie Wainright gave it a spin at the last Empty Bottles...fitted it in well amongst the 100mph...and i had a boogie to it.

£75.On Fairmount - £90.

While you USA guys are on here,what's the info on Ken Williams & Babysitters - "Get to know ya" on Spectator.? Demo version of Bobby Treetop? (So connected to ERJones. - RnB time.).

For £400 or more,i hope its a legit re-issue, at least.

Sorry,forgot.
