Sounds like a Bacharach riff in there.

Not listened to it but i bet its a dancer!! Could it be Dickie Squatts - "Im running" on Immodium.?

So being a collector is now a negative? Unclean,unclean...Lots do both - dance and collect.I always get the impression those who dance the most dont collect....a problem for who?

Seem to remember it going for less,a year or two ago.£10 - £15...Who had that i wonder?

You missed out the sheep mentality as well Steve.At many venues were the dancefloor is "packed" its because if so an so dances to it,we'd better too.!!! Don't want to be left out!!

Ignoring Terry before he posts.

Ignoring this user as well. And you.

Ignoring this user as well.

I am ignoring this user.

Surely there's all the other days of the year to go out Carms.? Stop in and play monopoly like the rest of us!!

Thats why i edited.Played the soundclip,and thought,maybe that's not the one.

We know you like beans Mace.

Dave ,quite a few people were in the foyer area.Chatting/buying etc.Some may have wandered into the main room,but generally seemed to be in and out of the Darwin.Mind you,i didn't arrive till 12.00. Back to "tags",i think underplayed has gone thru a little of this recently.At one time it was ok,nowadays anything goes.One man's underplayed is another mans oldies i suppose.

Of course Chalky is protective,he loves his soul music in whatever form. The problem with labelling,such as "upfront" is that if you wander from the oldies path,which is safe and comfortable,many of the tunes could be unknown.There lies the problem.Not that they are "crap" . Makes me wonder how back in the Wigan days,alot of these guys managed, with the turnover of records,coping with unknown tunes then.

It was.Lots of obscure oldies were played.Have you got an example of the sort of thing you'd like to have heard? I wonder what would happen if i'd have posted negative things about the main room?

Can't have it all ways."Banal and overplayed".Ok ,so you're not happy with that - you've seen it done it. "Rare room - crap"!!.So i'm guessing you didnt know anything being played,so it must be crap.You have no reference point for stuff being played in that room.Therefore its the dregs. 1500 vs 300...well the 1500 must be right.Amazing though recently how many "oldies brigade" are bored with the top 500. I was at Derby.Knew what to expect in the main room.That's why i stayed in the other room,talking about and dancing to records. Dont feel the need to knock the main room.Lots of people enjoyed themselves. Can you remember bitd when the classics were rare,Searling, Levine and the likes, dug them out, persevered with tunes until they became " banal and overplayed"? The point you're missing is that nearly everyone in the rare room has history stretching back many years on the scene. Wont be long before the Parliaments is filling the main rooms...or will it? Its rare so it must be crap.

Charles Diamond - 50.

The short balding one with shades...smart dressed,pock marked face? What was the year again?

Hi Adam.Can't see a demo stamp etc,on the label.It does look like a normal white label.Its not a rare colour variation is it.?(red,orange,white).

George Mahood gave it a spin at Prestatyn in Redemption.Sounded good to me,if a little dated.Soundclip of other side Godz?...or did he play the other side?...ignore me for a moment Godz.

Is the Sandra Richardson in your possesion Ian? I won one one ebay once,white demo on the scan.Arrived,,its orange.Only wanted it if it was white.Seller's answer - bad scan.Oh well........

Belles - one of the best 25 second intro's to any NS track.
