Speedy Gonzales - Pat Boone

I didn't go for the torch issue and got a copy of the SS one as I thought that was the legit copy in the absence if a Goldwax release. Horrified when I started reading this thread 'cos this is a top tune and I was going to start off my next set at Ramsgate with it. So - thanks for all the knowledgeable postings on this thread . Decision made................ ....I'm playing it! "STOLEN HOURS" 1st Anniversary, ***RAMSGATE*** 24th NOVEMBER. 2 Rooms + Accomodation + Free unissued Vinyl (first 100 tickets) *** Change of venue - see Events thread ***

They would have made a fortune at this venue! "STOLEN HOURS" 1st Anniversary, ***RAMSGATE*** 24th NOVEMBER. 2 Rooms + Accomodation + Free unissued Vinyl (first 100 tickets) *** Change of venue - see Events thread ***

Yep, excellent venue and nice floor Still saw a couple of "beer sloppers" encroaching onto it at the last one though. I still sometimes use a bit of talc there. I'd love to see it tested by more "energetic" dancers.

Good shout. Try this one: John Parker - Just A Thing Called Love, on Brunswick "STOLEN HOURS" 1st Anniversary, ***RAMSGATE*** 24th NOVEMBER. 2 Rooms + Accomodation + Free unissued Vinyl (first 100 tickets) *** Change of venue - see Events thread ***

Al Williams -I am nothing. Definately my all time number one sound. Great atmospheric dancer, but I personally wouldn't class it as a "Pure Soul Ballad" Paris Blues is good enough for me on that count Other contenders though IMO are: Chuck Jackson - Look Over Your Shoulder Tony Michaels - I Love The Life I Live Loads of others I'm sure.

PM'd ya Reg. Hope you got it. Good Luck with the sales mate!

Am I psychic? Only last night I was thinking back to Reg reading some of his transcript at Chrissies prior to the Worthing bash in April. Today I've scoured Medway's bookshops for it , not knowing the title or even if it was out yet. Then I get home to to read this! Well done Reg. I'll be reading it soon.

All I can say Pete is that if it wasn't for the white label I might never have heard this. So a big THANKYOU! from me.

Yep, white label "Test Press" - only 20 done? Heard it played (not the acetate ) at a party on the south coast this year - awesome! Moldie was mean't to be there but he must have got advance warning.

I use talc at most venues, and always leather soled shoes - brogues or occasionaly Loake Loafers. But maybe my legs don't move as fast as yours Bazza!

Thanks Karen - I didn't know that about soap! I'll be taking a bar to Bisley. I wonder how long before they latch on and confiscate it at the door along with talc (definately no longer required) and water.

Hi Guys. Does anyone know an ex squaddie by the name of T.DEWEY, and is he still on the scene? He's probably ex R.E. as I picked up some of his old vinyl which his ex partner was flogging at the Black Lion car boot - just down the road from the R.S.M.E. at Brompton. If he can tell me what Richard Searling has written, along with his signature, on the sleeve of the Grapevine "Hey Little Way Out Girl - Del Capris", then I'll get his vinyl back to him. There's a few other pieces too. I'd like to think someone would have done the same for me, but I went back for mine after a year or two!

Maybe we should reserve talc for pouring into the pints of the "beer sloppers" .

It can't match Rita & the Tiaras, which I've always rated, but this deserves another listen or two IMO. Must be hard to come by with the number of bids, 'cos I can usually find stuff this guy is selling at a half to a third of what he usually is asking.

AWOL - probably still looking for his tankard!

I can't get to grips with it. I contacted John's site and rec'd this reply: You need to have flash player 9 here is a link to the FREE down load I hope I have helped.. This requires macromedia flash, if you do not have it installed on your computer please click here. Oops! I just deleted and lost the link - sorry Don't think this was my problem though, as sometimes it plays - after a substantial pause, sometimes not. Sometimes it will only start up when I add a 2nd track, and sometimes not at all. All very confusing - and I can't read those insignificant little orange symbols, so don't know which is the play button. I've given up on it. John - If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Ther's one in the pub opposite unless Bearsy has a portable installed in the toilets

Maybe the promoter/DJ/somebody should tell them . I've told 'em from the decks before, and when it didn't have the desired effect got down and moved them. I wish a few more people would do the same 'cos this can really take the edge of a night for me.

I think it's great to see youngsters on the Scene. NOT the schoolkids that get dragged along to an all-dayer by their parents and amuse themselves by running and sliding across a talc'd floor - that is so fkin annoying and I say ban those kids and their parents from the venue. But any youngster, of any age, that comes of their own accord, that loves the music and wants to be part of it, is more than welcome IMO. Thing is, as they progress, what will happen? They probably can't afford to collect and therefore won't be able to DJ untill they're ancient like the rest of us, 'cos they're not allowed to play Boots or CD's of course. How many DJ's / collectors are going to pass on their treasured vinyl to the next generation without demanding a fortune for it? If I'm financially stable (when I stop buying vinyl) I just might do that. I've already been inspired recently by someone just out of their teens who dances their socks off and shows real passion for the music. When the time comes that I can no longer get out and about what better thing could I do than hand over my decks, peaveys etc and 1000+ pieces of vinyl to a worthy youngster. Keep the Faith, nurture it, pass it on. Some things are worth more than their monetary value.

Anyway, halfway there with 1 and 2 - both ridiculous IMO, and someone tried to tell me 3 is a cover up and actually is Cher.

You mean like- Soft Cell doing Gloria Jones - Tainted Love Tony Blackburn doing Doris Troy - I'll Do Anything Cher doing Alfie Davison - Love Is A Serious Business Or am I only allowed to use my imagination?

Too tired really Tony, and would take far too long with my one finger tap. In a Nutshell though: Used to like Ska many years ago, but grew out of it. I'd still prefer to listen to it (if I had to) than Modern - which reminds me of YMCA disco's and the reason I'm so thankful that Northern came into my life. Oh - and anything with the word "Funk" in it I avoid at all cost. Now..."time for bed ,I'm knackered", said Zebedee

Stir-it-up? of course not! I used to get pestered a lot at a certain venue with "Got any Ska?" Nearest they got from me was.... .... I'm Slowly Molding - Cody Black.

I'll drink to that Paul. Every cloud has a silver lining - at least your dancing won't have looked out of place at this one!
