er ?? what are you talking about ? why shuld i care if you own oldies or rare records ? who said you didnt ? ....... why have you decided to pick diferent bits out that i have said in reply to other posts that has nothing to do with anything you said ?? apart from that i used the term fancy dress ??
you have got me here ? as i was replying to calms post perticuly the comparison about peoples choice and variaty i was refaring to the analogy she used , nothing more and nothing horrible i just simply didnt agree with it because there are loads of customers for clothes shops its hardly the same for soul do's thats all .
are you upset cause i used a sweeping statment by saying you can pack a place out by playing oldies on bootlegs all night to the fancy dress brigade ???? so you decided that i meant you is that it ??? because regardles of you owning any original records or not i wasant talking to you or meaning you as i do not know who you are ? am pleased for you so you own some real records golly . did i say you didnt ? ......so i'll stand by what i said about the fancy dress brigade because thats exactly what i have seen and 100% know to be the truth about places where people dressed up looking like they just steped out from a time machine but (there bodys hasnt) dancing to bootlegs it's a (fact), i could write you a very long list of these places and all within 40 miles so what part am i wrong about ??? you say its not fancy dress ....to me it is !!
it may suprise you to know that i still go and have a drink at some of these clubs now and again as i have many friends on that scene dating back to the casino days , it doesn't mean i have to condone or conform to what they do' i do not hate them in any way they have every right to dress the way they want and and dance to bootlegs but that dosent mean that i wish they didnt but thats there business . those that know me proper know that i also own a good collection of (oldies) for want of a better word )as well as rarer and lesser known tunes i might add lol , i just do not want to hear oldies played out on fake records for genuine reasons to do with the servival of those very same old records that i care about. now the reason i have told you all this is because am fed up of hearing presumptuous views about my beliefs that are wrong and far from the truth
but since you mentiond it
why do you feel the need to dress up in 70s clothes to go and listen or dance to soul music ?
this is somthing that dose irritate me .there is no conection at all' for me apart from wearing those clothes up the casino years ago but i also wore them to work and every day use .as that was the fasion back then, and just like the music the northern soul scene moved along with fasion right up to the present day . i cant help thinking that the northern soul scene would atract more people if it wasnt for you lot dressing up in 70s gear , how on earth are younger people going to appreciate this music or this scene when they are confronted with 50 year olds dressed up in clothes that look ridiculous. trouble is not everyone knows that there is now two scenes for this reason alone am now glad that there is .
