Tony Foster

The top 3 so far John Anderson, Richard Searling, Ady Croasdell

Looking forward to Arthur's set at Lifeline, without doubt it will be awesome.

:lol:

Good point

Some very interesting nominees, all of which are well worthy of a mention, keep them coming folks

You're right about the top 4 so far, early days though

Let's not forget the ladies, Jumpin' Joan, Val Palmer, Jo Wallace etc.

If you could gave an outstanding contribution award to someone on the soul scene, who would it be and why? There are many people who are worthy of a mention, here's just a few names that spring to mind for the nominees, John Manship - Butch - Soul Sam Mainly because of their dedication and enthusiasm for the music, also they have kept this scene going for many years, even through the lean periods, when a lot of people thought the soul scene was dead and buried. I'm sure the list will go on and on, I could think of at least another dozen or so people who are worthy of mention, however it would be interesting to know your thoughts.

Exceptional dancers or what

One of my favourite oldies Carms, great double sider, like your choice

Martha Reeves - Jnr Walker - Marv Johnson - late 80's in Wolverhampton Edwin Starr at the Casino late 70's Dells at Trentham still got the photos Precisions, Ray Pollard, Volumes at Prestatyn Gene Chandler at Stafford

Disagree, it's not a cop out, if you know what a bootleg is you don't really need an answer to what an original is and to what to play at a venue, just my opinion.

It's probably easier to say what a bootleg is - Wikipedia A bootleg recording is an audio and/or video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootleg_recording

If you haven't got em' don't play em' If you've got a copy of a Picasso hanging on your wall, you still haven't got a Picasso Kindred Soul all originals, fair to everyone, the artists, punters and fellow DJ's.

I can hear it now you're right Ian

Kindred Soul @ Bidds - goes without saying OVO

Having had the privilege to read some of Berry Gordy's hand written notes on a demo, it surely is what's in the groove that counts and judging by his notes he really did look at the production from every angle and if it wasn't good enough he didn't put it out. Obviously there was quite a lot of unreleased Motown that should have been released, but if it had have been would it have made it commercially? That's another story. I heard a radio interview with Ginger and the story behind the Four Vandals and I really didn't blame his actions towards a certain producer, enough said. Like have said there are thousands of brilliant 45's why would you want to waste your time experimenting!

Why would you want to, there's plenty of really great tunes out there, without re-editing and mixing anything. If it wasn't finished off in the studio, there was probably a very good reason, because it wasn't good enough for release and public performance in the first place. I agree with Russ, it's a can of worms and I doubt the artist would see a penny, not unless you are truthfully are going to do it under licence from the record company etc Cut it onto acetate and play it out ???? Sounds a bit like another thread on here
