Actually Jamie , I've been buying a few classic Motown related demos so I can have them mounted , then I thought I may do a Detroit /Chicago/Philly/New York ones , using non expensive records of course Cheers Swifty

Nice one Jamie , nice thought too

It's mine !

We're all Disco Divas really

Len , so do I and if I'd of put 'our' scene I'd of got slaughtered I reckon because it doesn't belong to anyone , although I know what you mean Swifty

Toad , everyone can just google Northern Soul and get a CD of the old top tunes for £2.99 or less mate , hey I'm not knocking them but it's easy to do

and in fairness to the people I was on about that is the reason , which is a good thing .

I thought you having a go at Carl there Mal

We have a local do in town at one of the Pubs that's organised by a few lads who, to be honest have never been involved in the scene (Nearly put 'Our' scene) and that's where the problem (if it is one) lies . They're a bunch of lads ( Blokes actually 'cause they're in their 40's) who love all the stuff we had the pleasure of hearing all those years ago. The thing is I have been a couple of times and it's all off CD but they get 40-60 folk in there and it's only a small place. I Spat my dummy out one night because the CD was left on a started playing again WTF!! My gripe was that some of the tunes on the CD I have on Vinyl and paid good money for but to honest they dont really give 2 flying fooks but there were a lot of people enjoying themselves , no handbags or beer on the dancefloor though. At least new people are getting to hear stuff and gaining an interest in the music, which surely isn't a bad thing , or is it ? It's not and shouldn't be a Secret Society Just my thoughts really Swifty p.s. One of the lads that runs it asked me how I play 'them American record with no middle'

D.C. LaRue - CATHEDRALS - PYRAMID https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2jU-ZJRsms Remember buying this when it came out Swifty

Doctor Buzzards Original Savannah Band - I'll Play the Fool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8tdnbk99D0 Swifty

Top top tune ODDYSEY - NEW YORK CITY - DISCO MIX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I64qTkUevU Play it loud Swifty

Sooty , you'll not get away with any mistakes on here mate , not that I had a clue Cheers mate Swifty p.s. I've been shot down in flames on here more times than a FokKe Wolfe (Spelling?) plus I was gonna put Messershmit ?? but you know what I mean mate

So they aren't originals then , didn't think they were but the prices seem a bit steep Cheers Swifty p.s. if anyone has a W/D for sale please let me know

Pete , it's just that they look the same colour as some of the re-issued/ New Paula stuff that was around at the time , nothing like the deep red what I would call originals , I had one that looked like those with a different artist each side , with different dated records . Just don't look right to me ? Swifty

You know the ones that have it mis-labled and are on the lighter colour labels that look too new to me , are they really originals or a re issue, albeit a legit one . They just don't look right to me ? any thoughts ,and I'm sure these have been mentioned in the past but couldn't find it Cheers Swifty

What , Syl Johnson ? t'other side of 'We Did It' ??? Fine mate , off on the piss in London tomorrow with the Gaffer and some customers at an awards do , bring it on!! Take care Swifty

Was it the first local issue of 'Walking down Aswell Street' per chance , White Demo of course

Kev , a bit of a trick question I reckon but maybe wrong. The thing that made me pick jazz was the Album that's mega rare or doesn't exist , which I reckon was something like 'Jazz Workshop' (nearly put 'Worksop' ) Or I may have imagined it Just re read what I put , if the album doesn't exist it must be bloody rare

100% this time

80%

Think this is a great record by them on Scepter BLUES BUSTERS - BABY I'M SORRY - SCEPTER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdDPqfgX36Q Swifty Trust thse are the same people

Remember having an emidisc of L.J.Johnson - Your magic put a spell on me (I Know , I Know ) before it was released . I was convinced it was to released on 20th Century so spent a Sunday morning at work (Graphic Designers) using letraset , cameras etc and creating this masterpiece 20th Century label only for it to come out on bloody Phillips !!!! Cheers Swifty
