Got mine cheap back in the day too - 40 quid, reduced from 50 because it had the cover up tape around the run out . I wouldn't mind getting hold a brand spanking new one though, $600 max, now it's finally turned up.

My Heartbreak is an issue, and it's on vinyl.....so I guess it's a generic print error

Ah I see, thanks for enlightening me. So that would be very different for the "Head Scratcher", characterised by lack of imagination, usually brought on from high exposure to Top 500, and having rejoined the scene after many years of absence. These poor things can usually be found muttering things like..."never heard this at Wigan", "don't know this, it's crap", and shouting "play something I know", backed up with requests from long gone all-nighter sessions, when he was lad. These bewildered types often fail to appreciate that things move on and "new" soul records have been played during their twenty or so years "break". Quite a few of them look to recover their long lost days by becoming DJs at local soul nights, where once again they can re-live their time, over, and over, and over.........

...and just how is that relevant to this thread ???

That's the HUGE difference between the venues that put punters through the Top 500 machine, and those that work hard to make this a progressive scene by adding new music. New music that will eventually find it's way to the less adventurous venues, when it's been tested for dance floor safety. A DJ should be booked for what he plays, not for following instructions. Good DJs play the music they like, their musical taste is generally what makes them good. An hour of predictable floor fillers doesn't make a good DJ

It looks like you're locked in th 60's, it's hard to belive that you can make a comment like all down hill from the O'Jays, and bag everything after '71 as general disco . I see you include Lightwater as a favourite venue, ever thought about popping downstairs to the "modern" room during Keith and Maxine's sets ? You might just give yourself a better opportunity to broaden your outlook - but I wouldn't put money on it

I couldn't have put it better - too right mate

If anybody asks me to play Voo Doo Man, I'll tell 'em I've traded Four Tracks with you 'cos I bloody hate it

East Coast Connection......now there's a chooooon

Certainly not on the play lists for Creative..... .....it doesn't belong there. Not being judegemental.....each to their own

With you on that Sean If Anderson Brothers, Carstairs, and Montclairs were new plays today, then they'd be labelled crossover Why do we make things so complicated ...too many labels, when just the one word would do.

So's mine, the scan is a bit dodgy - it should be yellow

So you were buying modern soul back in the day then Pete

Most local soul nights feel like retirement homes already, with the same old, same old tunes rolled out so that everyone knows the words What's A chin stroker

Absolutely brilliant record takes me back to the St Ives All nighters when this was as big as you could get , and you're right Alan, no sign of disco in there By the way, both Gamma and Lindee are Canadian issues - no US release as far as I know

Are you sure Mark, I never heard this played past '76 Regularly attended HLC and never heard it

Eddie, you forgot Robert Parker !! Great to hear it in your set at Banbury last Saturday

It's on Blue Soul also out of Chicago, so quite probably the same singer - Madeline Strickland. I'll see if I can find my 45 and compare vocals.

Fin strokers in your case mate

I think I know where the comment was made recently, and it seems to me that the enlightened message was that if a record's not Top 500 then it's for chin strokers, so that would apply to everyone that's been to any venue with a decent music policy since Wigan closed..... ...there's a lot of us out there
