  1. I I'm being a swine here like Ian but - is it? Who by and why? Anyone who see's the 80s as dodgy knows shit and therefore should be dismissed.
  2. I spent years playing to majoritively black crowds on one scene and majoritively white crowds on other scenes and have seen the change in the club scene, not for the better.
  3. When Roburt? Name me a couple of tunes that white punters where dancing to, so I know that we are both on the same page. I didn't miss many SPs.
  4. Well, there's the point - they were bought in equal numbers by black and white kids, maybe more white kids in our shop - this was the time just before the R&B thing really hit and divided clubs (scared the white kids off) - it was a fantastic time in Club Soul history where there was a very equal mixture of black and white people involved in club families...it all went tits up mid 90's.
  5. But you must know that it was embraced by a mainly black crowd Ian, it never really crossed over to us white ass heads.. And I don't know many great records from that genre - imo Of course there are masterpieces tucked away in the albums, that's why we bought them but mainly non NJS style cuts. Looking back, I enjoy the energy of the style and in context they are brilliant but they never held much sway with us 'ickle soul boys and girls did it?
  6. Bollox!! Apologies - Billy Always - Back On Track mate

  11. I have a lot of I suppose Swingbeat albums as there is an awful lot of quality material on them:
  12. No, not for years - they started dabbling with dance stuff when that got prevelant. Yeah, got Drizabone on @ SSW next week, should be good.
  13. Yeah, we used to put em on at a few of our gigs at the time, a genuine bunch.
  14. Not strictly Street Soul but about that time and used to slot in so right at the end of a Mr Smiths, from the cd
  15. Used to know this Brummy bunch (Andy etc) quite well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKWtVFAyIUI We used to play this stuff in a house style, mix and cut it
  16. Me too
  17. A Ladies section there - may do a blokes a little later. Maybe not to everyones taste these days but I still love it simplicity.
  18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr3bhzOGgVc&feature=related
  19. The TSR stuff was distributed by Timewarp, Bill Shannon - used to carry some nice stuff.
  20. They are hard working boys on this board Lorraine.
  21. That scene nowadays is just full of kids who were never cool enough to buy the records or play the music at the time giving it the big 'un like they were there from day one - the reunions round here are just the same...full of idiots who weren't there bitd charged off their tits biting peoples ears off..
