I think you'd better get a concrete base laid tomorrow.

Eddie, you're not gonna be ready for it. Call them back and tell them you want it delivered in another 12 (or so) days time as arranged. Good Luck! - Kev.

Hi Paul, Looking forward to Southampton, and it'll be in the box but not sure yet if it'll make the cut - to busy on here when I should be sorting out the rest of my tunes! Bonus with Saturday is the clocks going back 'cos it means a late start at the 100 Club and also effectively cuts the journey from Southampton by an hour. See you at Ghetto Soul matey! - Kev

Give me your Key-loc copy and I'll play them simultaneously on the decks at home. You're right though, there are differences in a lot of tunes - and no discernible difference (to me anyway) in others. One that's confusing me at the moment is the Madeline Strickland "Lonely Girl" double release on Mar-V-lus - but that's for another thread. - Kev.

Ha! Never judge the quality on a Youtube post. Anyway, just to confuse the issue, that is a Key-loc pressing with a scan of the RPR pressing for some strange reason. - Kev edit....Can't keep up with my one finger typing. lol. So both of those clips are actually the key-loc pressing. I need a rest.

Fair enough. - and I was having a laugh with my throw away comment btw. I don't have the Key-loc to compare so will reserve judgement but have heard other tunes i.e. Jimmy Conwell - Too Much, that would perhaps fit your description on sound quality and certainly don't class the RPR as such. Records are like jackets - they appear the same to some folk and totally different quality to others (private joke). 100 Club saturday? - Kev.

Mmm. Or did you hear the Key-loc in a hall and listen to the RPR in your front room? Got to say that my RPR sounds just fine played good and loud. - Kev. Thanks Ian, I was hoping that to be the case. Also considering that Key-loc is such a small and very local label, and is owned by Sunny Ozuna (maybe by another family member originally) and probably set up for recording and promoting his work, then it's perhaps not far off being a Private Press. I'll have no hesitation in playing the RPR .....anywhere. - Kev.

Great news! The perfect design for shoving it up your @rse. - Kev

Yes, mine too Russell. Thanks for the replies guys. I reckoned I'd figured it out but wasn't 100% certain. - Kev.

That post was expected but came sooner than I thought! Yep it's a nice double sider but the faster side is the one that really does it for me. I always play the flip when I buy vinyl and have had more than a few nice surprises. - Kev

Thanks Boba, I bought the RPR on impulse when I first heard it. Had an inkling that it might be on Key-loc, and of course it was. I'm more than happy to own it and play it but wouldn't want to call in to question the "ovosity" of anyone else's event. - Kev

What's the score with Sunny & the Sunliners - If I Could See You Now The Key-loc output consists mainly of this groups titles, so is RPR a national release which closely followed the local Key-loc release?. Or was it a much later release? For the purists, is Key-loc the only issue deemed suitable for OVO venues? I've seen it questioned as to wether the two releases are different versions, but they sound identical to me. Not had much joy on searching for info on this so any assistance from those more knowledgeable than I would be greatly appreciated. - Kev

Same answer that I've given before... JOE WALKER - THIS IS MY LAST GOODBYE Preceded by ....either "Jerusalem" or "I Vow To Thee My Country" And followed by...."Nellie The Elephant" ('cos I'll have packed my trunk and said goodbye to the circus) - Kev

The Skyliners - Everything Is Fine. Jubilee. Just pulling out a few tunes to play. This was the last one back in the box. - Kev.

Nah, a couple of weeks later one of the two young girls he was with had her photo in the papers as they'd just got engaged. - Kev

How come I never find these bars! Now on the list are: *The Sandwich Bar, Alcudia, Mallorca *Dub Club, calle Jesus 91, Valencia. (check dates). *The Happy drinker, Salou, Costa Dorada, Spain. *Calle de Mallorca (find the karaoke guy who plays Northern) I've included Bearsy's even in the absence of a bar name - if it's a small resort maybe you'll stumble across him. - Kev.

Well I like it........but Pam say's "NO! Not at all - they sound stupid tgether!" She's usually right you know. - Kev

One from me. We were in Valencia in April and decided one night to seek out Bar Pinball which had been the venue for the warm up of one of the "Big Thing" weekenders. We were bitterly disappointed. There was a young modish crowd in from about midnight and the dj, who was an Alice Cooper clone, played loads of retro stuff but very little (if any) that I would call soul. Maybe I just got the wrong night. I wouldn't add it to a soul venue list but for those that might be into retro 60's-80's pop, beat, or whatever you call it - the address is Concordia 3, barrio del Carmen. One that I will recommend, again in Valencia, is the Dub Club, (calle Jesus, 3.Valencia). A nice friendly Spanish crowd (I was constantly asked if I knew Ady Lupton and Yann Vatiste), and some nice crossover and modern spun on vinyl with a smattering of classic northern (might have been for my benefit). The venue hosts a variety of nights and live bands so you have to pick the right night. When we attended we had to wait outside for the spanish stand-up comedy act and punters to clear the building after midnight before the venue was transformed to a soul nite. We were invited along by Jose Mardi (Mardi on this site) who we first met in his Valencia record store. If you're going to Valencia it would be worth contacting him for dates. So, pending further details and posts - we've got just two: * The Sandwich Bar, Alcudia, Mallorca *Dub Club, calle Jesus 91, Valencia. (check dates). Any more?

They don't have a fancy dress night too do they? Think I'd prefer the car/cd option myself, but thanks for posting. Is the Northern spun on a different night, or is it thrown in amongst all the other tosh?
