I haven't been buying for a few months so it was good to get started again with this mixed bunch: Dickie Wonder....Nobody Knows...Sounds Of Soul Soul Notes....How Long Will It Last....Way Out DeVolia LaSane....Don't Take My Love Away/Flyin' High....Path Chosen Few....Birth Of A Playboy....Maple Soul Survivors....Mama Soul....(German) Atlantic And despite removing all traces of posties visit, how did my missus know I'd had vinyl delivered? 6 hours later she could SMELL my vinyl cleaning spray. Just one quick squirt too - she's like a friggin bloodhound! - Kev

I had 2 copies of the Toby Bullard from this seller - both being returned as they sounded really distorted and were practically unplayable. He came good for me eventually with a replacement item but there's been a couple of threads on here where people have had problems with this seller - non receipt of big items I think and problems getting refunds. - Kev

The Tams - Hey Girl Don't Bother Me (ABC) Cost me £7, more than a weeks wages in '69, for a battered copy but I was a happy bunny. - Kev.

No need to check this out if your hearing is fine 'cos it's just about word for word what was said by the speaker. If i'd been there I wouldn't have known wether to listen or read.

I don't bother them with a PM Manus, but I do post a comment on their profile. That way it lets them know I've got the vinyl and also acts as feedback that others can see.

Same shot I reckon, but the Italians have tilted it slightly anti-clockwise - and not chopped the top of his head off.

That's just bad manners. Even if you've failed miserably to impress with your own choices it's just common courtesy to set things right for the next dj. - Kev.

But I'm bored Pete. When the old grey matter is working again I'll remember which Stateside vinyl I have where some t0sser has removed the top layer of the label and hand drawn a Kent/Modern label in felt-tip. :ohmy:wtf

Thing is - it depends why you want them. The examples shown are pretty sh!ite but it's label damage. In an ideal world everyone would find a perfect mint copy of their desired vinyl. But.........not everyone regards themselves as a collector and just wants the sound (yes , because they collect them ) , and for arguements sake (and it's a well worn arguement) on original vinyl. I'd sooner have a crap water damaged label on an Ex to Mint player than a decent looking copy that sounds like a box of Snap Crackle & Pop. I'd sooner own a water damaged Shrine label, courtesy of Washington DC Fire Services than an unsleeved copy that's been abused through years of neglect. What's in the groove counts for a lot. Some would even go so far to say that label damage and w.o.l. can be regarded as part of the vinyl's history. To others condition, including the label, is everything. It's all relative. Kev

Not bad I suppose, but it's a bit flat and LJB has taken something haunting and soulful and turned it into a pop song IMO. No emotion in it, and not a patch on Ray Pollard. - Kev.

Been looking at Nina Simone myself. She certainly has a vast and varied catalogue - not all of which is too well known. Lots of her stuff has been remixed and sampled by other music genres already, sadly to it's detriment IMO. Kev.

You can't take sides mate 'cos it strikes me that everyone is on the same side. It's just that some are so far up their own @rses that they can't see that.

Regarding the second part of your post Mick, that's not neccessarily the case. Plenty of unsuitable venues about, and some still in use. Like it or not the 100 Club is an iconic venue. Even without the iconic status and the history attached to it, it's atmospheric. Being at a niter on one of the busiest streets in London, having a cool-down outside and watching all the other clubbers and piss-heads staggering home and knowing that down those stairs you've still got a few hours of something special, means a lot to me . That at least will be irreplaceable. It is special. Kev.

Erm.....I sensed criticism in your reply to my post.............."But not enough to do anything about it." So I'm not criticising you for trying to prevent the 100 club from being closed down - I wish you well, I really do. I'm criticising you for coming across as an arrogant @rse. Nothing more to say or it'll drift further off what is an important topic.

Wow, just caught up with this thread and it's moved on a bit. I take it the above is a response to my first post. Well, yes it is just about the 6t's - for me anyway. It may be an iconic venue but there is little that would entice me there apart from the niters. You however see it differently. If you have 2 bands that perform there I suppose you have a vested interest..........................and you gave £20. Very commendable, but in times when I've been able I've handed more than that to strangers on the street who are down on their luck. Currently, for reasons I won't go into, I've had no income whatsoever for nearly 2 months and even though it's a relatively near venue for me I couldn't afford to attend the last anniversary. So, don't criticise me pal. Look to others who have a vested interest as I'm sure some of them are loaded. - Kev.

Yes it's a shame. Yes I'd miss it. But as Ady himself has reminded us recently - The 6T's Rhythm & Soul Society is not the 100 Club, and the 100 Club is not the 6T's. So......................where's the Christmas Party gonna be? - Kev

And I think it's time you stopped worrying yourself about other posters. Pretty audacious IMO to go categorising peeps who bothered to post . Individuals posting their views on the film is what the thread is about. Go buy some long trousers Simon.

Perhaps I'm getting confused........... it might have been a bit of promotion on one of those early morning TV programmes, the one where the young lad playing the lead was interviewed. - Kev

I'm pretty certain I saw some TV ads acouple of weeks back.

Nice! And I've got to congratulate my good friend Henning (HBoogaloo) for totally confusing me when he posted this as one of his Last 5 Buys, on that thread. - Kev.

You could tape your ears back if they're slowing you down - and use the same piece of tape to keep your specs on! ....Sorted.

I've got the Fred Parris (and The Restless Hearts) on Green-Sea and titled "Blushing Bride". Same tune, different title. Can't remember which came first, but anybody know why the title change? Oh yes, and I like it too. - Kev.

Haven't been able to buy for a few weeks now, but my latest purchases are: Delorise Berry - No Other Girl - Gator Milton Floyd - Any Way I Can - RIM Willie Gresham and The Free Food Ticket - I Cried Boo Hoo - Majesty George Wydell - Funny Feeling - Tangerine Record Corp Hesitations - Is This The Way To Treat A Girl - GWP Harry & The Keyavas - If this Is Goodbye - IPG I know that's six - but I've already chopped it down from ten and couldn't decide which other to leave out. -Kev.

That's food for thought mate, and very well put too. Thing is, when I saw that youngster (who shall remain nameless ) on the floor, there was an even younger lad there - a 7 yr old who had the moves! So, where do we draw the line with allnighters? For me, like I said in an earlier post, if they can get there on their own and blag their way in - that's fine by me. If they need parents or quasi-parents around, it's a no. There's plenty of alldayers and suitable soul nites (with an early finish for you my boy ) for those cutting their teeth on the scene by way of parental introduction. Never mind the "oh, they're only there 'till 10" - go to a local soul nite then, if they'll let you in, and leave the allnighters for those grown up enough to want something extra.

Sad news. It was the songs he gave me that made my days seem brighter. R.I.P. Bobby Hebb James Brown tribute followed by Bobby Hebb interview.....................
