I'd have thought posting in the "Look At Your Box" section would be more likely to get your question answered mate. - Kev.

Not likely to get much response here Neal. You've posted in the non-vinyl section of Sales & Wants. I thought you were selling a watch! - Kev

Bugger! .....so I'm too late with Joy Orbison then? - Kev

Well done Elaine! Being nominated is an achievement itself. Good luck and hope you get it girl. - Kev

Cruise Ship Cabaret standard IMO. Nothing more. - Kev

No, a 'dish' is when the record is very slightly bowl shaped and is evenly warped from the centre outwards, and is usually caused by poor storage. An edge warp is when there is a kink at the outer edge of the vinyl and this is more likely to have caused damage to the grooves. It may have been repaired at some stage to be less visible but the compression to the grooves remain - as I suspect has happened in your case. Like the man says - get a refund and wait for a better copy. - Kev

I much prefer the sellers that post soundclips. I'm always on the lookout for something new to my ears, plus there's so many tunes that I can't recall the title or artist. It's so much easier than constantly (and sooo slowly) flicking between Sales and youtube. If I'm looking for something new I might only look at the sales that state 'with soundclips'. - Kev

My Gator copy plays loud and clear. I think I paid £60 about 3 or 4 years ago. - Kev

Milton Bennett is my current preference. That may change - spoilt for choice an' all. Thanks Ady ! - Kev

Email sent. - Kev .......but if you read this first, I'll take the Gloria Walker if you still have it.

My view is that probably all of the factors mentioned in the original post played their part. i.e. NS Dance has evolved from other styles of dancing. Seeing Soul Artistes dancing and performing elaborate moves, live or on screen, had a great influence in the direction the style of dance evolved. The ability of some dancers to embellish their moves may have been due to the stretching and high kicks that they practised in their Kung Fu or Karate classes which were around certainly before '68 when I first took them up. (Maybe those that sought something different out of life applied this to 'sport' as much as music). The fact that NS and Martial Arts simultaneously enjoyed a certain popularity in the early 70's is a mere coincidence, but a fortunate one for those that had the energy to be involved in both. - Kev.

Everybody has gone mad! .............It's £8 at Tesco's. - Kev

It's not Gene Autry and the Autistics is it? - Kev

Fiver. - Kev

Any event with a door tax of £0 - £5 must be value for money, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are good. £10 - £12 value for money probably equates to a good night. If I could pay £20+ and still consider it value for money - now that would be something. - Kev

I wouldn't worry about clearing the floor. A few years ago I played Shirley Wahls which completely cleared the floor then immediately received the biggest applause of the night. - Kev

CD's and open decks? Yorkshire is a bit far for me, but I probably wouldn't bother if it was just around the corner. Sorry. - Kev

PM'd ya. - Kev

£5K .........no ifs, no buts, my terms, and all the dj's will all get a decent wedge for once. (Sample Answer) - Kev

Anyone know what time it start and ends in Burnley on the 18th? - Kev

If you can dance in trainers you can dance in leather soled shoes ......................so get some! - Kev

Yep, it's a bit faded. In fact I can't even see it - Kev

Try a search Steve. There was one put up in Sales on here yesterday. - Kev

That's not a clip from the film. Think it's one of the many 'dance club' sessions put on for the cast(?) and aspiring extras/dancers. It is clearly filmed at the 100 Club but (with the absence of the usual suspects) isn't one of the normal nighters so must have been taken over for this event. - Kev

Paul, he probably forgot as he was too busy playing all the vinyl that he'd just picked up. Nice find anyway. - Kev
