love the messy-ness of the UPTOWNERS and C-QUENTS,but my copy of C-quents is on Essica not Captown. Was UPTOWNERS issued on both labels???

another that deserves more plays imho.

also on the cheap "double compilation" album ,title escapes me till i dig it out

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,tis very very rare.

Patti Austin "you'll always be in style" was indeed a Rob spin.

now that's proper Northern!!

have resisted till now,but if i give you 3 clues as to my nomination in this category........ 1.not 2nd window from left 2. Ken's brother?? 3.this is rubbish and overplayed.

Hi Mark,in years gone by like to remember the Watney's Party 7 hidden at the back of the sofa,opening it with a hammer and large nail,while "a man like me" played in the background,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bring back the Houseparty!!!!!!!

god sakes...what was the question? Has someone got a box of these to sell??

Funnily enough Joan, had this conversation only yesterday whilst playing an old tape from about '80 that Rob had put together,some of the stuff was downright "Ahead of its time Northern",miss him on the scene and tried to get him to come back.Seems to have gone missing again though.

been pondering on that as well,but still our postie's have to sort em.....maybe CM has dedicated postie's who wait with bated breath ,there only to deliver for him

Tats had it for sale at 500, think he's still got it.

been wondering on this myself,comes all the way from the US of A,in one piece,HOW?

prefer Otis Leavill myself, how much is it going for?..KEV.

surely these two records are of a different genre to BWoods?, like comparing a '66 Jaguar to a '78 Capri?

what a weird and wonderful scene we've got!! If a record get plays by certain dj's,the search is on to acquire said toon,price goes up,records sell out and are buried in collections,no problem with that. If a record is re-discovered and cheap,same again. If a record is a proven rariety,you pay the price according to who's selling, what they want for it at the time,and your funds. If you get a real bargain,how many jump on the phone to tell all and sundry to "go get one yourself",before the price rise? Pay only what you can afford,after all we are controlling the market........are'nt we?? BTW....what constitutes a "rare" record? What quantities are we talking about,after 50,100, 200?.Is the market "swamped" at 200?

got "GBAS" on Uk Stax ,does anyone else think the bass line in the toon is over produced giving it a "thud"??,or is it my system?is it the same on the import?,,KEV.

well put MARK.

WELL SAID PETER, only thing is there seems to be peeps out there wanting to scupper that idea.And they want to wash their laundry in public.good people on the scene will always rally round to protect it,,see my earlier post,,i wasn't very happy when i wrote that.

the soul scene is a myth,well the "get along with everyone bit", just as in real life there's scum ,and there's good people. Cos your'e dancing alongside someone feeling a toon for 3 minutes,don't make them your best mate. Here's a novel idea,try to get to know em first .If you went to the pub,you wouldn't expect to be bosom buddies with all in there........... would you??

for every bargain you get ,you pay the price on the next sound,always happened,swings and roundabouts. Sometimes its nice to pick up a record thats out of vogue. Price guides are only "guides",and you can pick up a bargain depending on who you know, not what you know .Well done on the Paris Blues Pete. ................225 you say?

overplayed or not,deserves to be in collections,quality toon
