My summing up is...if something funky is going to be played,it has to have a beat that's familiar to the scene.(refering now to the 60's/70's NS)...The dancers and punters need that reference point to spring from.Too funky,and it doesn't belong.Its a fine line getting it right. CL Green,good singer for the time,nothing wrong with him.But he doesn't tick any other boxes than that.Too commercial,not rare or collectable,the sort of stuff my mum sings along to.Ok and inoffensive,no "grabs you by the balls" moments in his music.

Whoever had that brainstorm to play it at Yate,should have a frontal lobotomy.Or maybe they already had.

Lovemasters and Bobbie Brown on Jacklyn

Who discovered that Ian? ... Dells - Its not unusal Marvin Gaye - its not unusal Tom Jones - you've guessed....

But none of this actually means anything outside of this forum.

A sort of spherical spot then Dave.

so where is it you've played Dave? And at Rugby in Sept is the £10 your fee?

I thought there was a nought missing off the end..

Five Stairsteps on the LP,and Paramounts on a UK label - London? Cant think at the moment. Parlophone...

Is this what all the fuss is about Joel? Nothing wrong with playing that track for me,although when i played it loud,the mice threw themselves on the traps....joking!!!!.

Being a bit of a technophobe myself,its just occured to me he may be trying to reply via a Kindle.Here to help.

$370 !!!...how's he got to that figure?

yes Winnie i am....not a lot of people know that.

Sorry to disappoint Marc.. ,different ( and lesser known).

,dont start that again Nev. . Anyone for Eli Paper boy Reed.? Saw him live.Not bad at all,for a white guy...in fact prefer him to C-LO. Cee LO 0 v Funky Newies 1.

Thanks for the link..2 very good sides,satisfies 2 camps.Dont mind admitting first time i've heard it? Quality buy for someone.

A lot of good points raised in your previous post.RE: "records not being good enough".It could be that the intentions are good,and some dj's may go out on a limb,to try out "newer" stuff to entertain, the now, more knowlegdeable punters.These sometimes bomb,sometimes they hit the spot on the night.No more than that.Anyone with any scruples will know where they stand when they get behind the decks...DJ'S KNOW THY PLACE....KNOW THE PECKING ORDER. Creating the longevity of a tune belongs to the premier dj / collectors.Everyone else is hanging on to their coat tails.Maybe one reason a tune takes a long time to break on the nighter scene is the very fact these tunes are rare,and you have to follow a certain dj to hear them.I like it like that. BITD these would have been booted for £2 almost straight away. Where is there a soundbite of Bernard Drake Gareth ??

Stage presence of a tin of beans? (Whiff of scandal there methinks)......They're all NS (?) jocks,not Shakespearean actors. I think just being civil to people is enough - in any walk of life. After that,everythings a bonus. But being told to blllx by a top dj,is always something i'll savour.

He was back on here the other day...you could ask him.

Not heard that one.What's the story?

Does the job.... and cheaper than WD40.

A Butch Playlist?...(sorry to be off topic).

Something happened to me when she called me baby!!!....

Didn't think this had posted - oh well....2 piccy's of Joey......
