I HAVE SOME BIG EXPENSIVE TUNES MY SELF LIKE MANY ON HERE. AND SOON NO DOUBT SOON WE WILL BE TOLD YOU SHULDENT BE PLAYING THEM TUNES AT POXY LITTLE CLUBS AS THE LADS WONT LIKE IT . *THE SCENE *YEAH RIGHT WHAT A LAUGH IT AINT THE SCENE I USED TO KNOW

QUOAT- If all these people running their "something different" soul night packed in and attended your all nighter instead, it may not add hundreds to the door but enough to allow you to have more budget to spend. To me this is the real cost of the proliferation of these soul nights, its killing the scene not protecting it, no matter what people think or want to tell themselves. May sound brutal but to me its true and people who think otherwise are kidding themselves. ITS THIS STATEMENT THAT CAUSES ME TO NEVER EVER WANT TO GO TO A BIG VENUE EVER AGAIN' IF YOUR NOT ONE OF THE LADS DONT OPEN A VENUE !!!! AT WHAT POINT DO WE BECOME ONE OF THE LADS AND AT WHAT POINT IS OUR CLUB A BIG VENUE. SORRY I NO LONGER WISH TO GO TO ALLNIGHTERS TO HELP WITH THERE BUDGET. MY BUDGET COMES OUT OF MY OWN POCKIT FROM WHAT I HAVE WORKED HARD FOR MOST OF MY LIFE AND BY DOING SO I WISH TO CHOOSE FOR MY SELF WHERE I SPEND IT AND AT WHAT CLUB

YEP NICE TUNE ....... AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS PLAYING IT ,

most of this is exactly what i was trying to say on a diferent page ............ and thats the same reason i mentiond having mixed feelings . i couldent agree more my issues are simple after spending fortunes on records i like the punters to know the diference but its down to them what club they decide to go to, & unlike others on here am not going to keep crying and moaning about it .to listen to the big promotors and dj's that blame monthly soul nights all the time get over it people are geting old and for whatever reason's cant be botherd to go to yet another big do miles away .weather you like it or not its a fact . at my place i think i can say with my hand on my heart most if not all would not go further than 30 miles and if ther is nothing on they stay at home and watch telly ............i wish it was diferent we play originals all the time but the punters couldent give a flying fig or most of um dont , another thing they tel me is they see the scene now as full of politics & arsholes somthing am begining to agree with and if it gets any worse on here i will be looking for another site

quote-I suspect the non progressive punters are by far in the majority and shout the loudest, and have the most to gain by shouting down the "soul police***" i would agree the non progressive punters are by far the majority ' but not on soul source the vast amount of the non progressive punters have never ever heard of soul source let alone voice an opinion the people that post on soul source in my opinion are in the main colectors dealers dj's & promotors who shout louder than any one .as for the soul police being shouted down ho ho ho is this a joke or somthing?? you dare not even have a bloody opinion if it dont fit in with them , apart from the above i agree with the rest , and just for the record most of my box is full of progresive tunes and the punters at my club are open minded but as we all know it aint easy to keep numbers up it would be so so easy to sell out and play the casino play list but we dont! instead we get shot by both sides . normaly as we are on our way to biger venues during the rest of the month lol. i also seam to rimember some very small iconic clubs that started out just a little back st clubs . but never mind what would i know

Incorrect, in your assumption. By knowing who you're inviting to play, you know what they're gonna play. I know at least 2 that absolutely f*ckin' DO know. Tony yeah mate and i know as many that absolutely f*ckin dont know but claim they do . also it wasant an assumption it is somthing i know to be 100% true on at least two occasions so the only way i would be incorect would be if i was lying and am not !!so as people have allready stated this thread could have extremely damaging consequences , hang on i just noticed what i first said i stand corected i shuld have included the word (i know *some* )promotors that dont know .

spot on mate amazing how did i not know there was going to be some masive list of clubs claiming to play originals only er? .........so all these promotors at these clubs know for sure that every record being played is an original ?? i think not in fact i know for f ... sure they dont. i canot see the point of all this as most people around our way know who plays boots and who dosent and its the same with the clubs there are 3 clubs within 30 miles of my club that play boots and i mean 99% and cds , but yet they do extremly well playing all the casino boots and there punters couldent give a monkeys what they are played on , on the other hand there are 3 clubs including my own that play fresh original tunes or a beter word quality soul . two of us do ok we get around 70 to 100 every month sorry to say the other dont do to well , we could only dream of the numbers that pressings are us get up the rd get in. but its not like we all dont know ?its back to the grate n soul divide again and dont we all get fed up with that one ? all i wish is that some of the self apointed original soul gods come and suport there own instead all this me me me buisnes again .after all we suport them . without naming the big venues we all go to . it would be very nice indeed if for once some of them well known peeps could put there money where there f... big gobs are and suport the little clubs that do play quality music as well as being original ,and another thing lol the worst thing in the world for me is having people surounding my decks and my record box i have some expensive tunes in my box and i do not like people rummaging through my box the way i see it is i wouldent dream of doing that to others and somthing that shouldent be encouraged . i also agree that those big wigan tunes where and stil are briliant but due to the pressings they have been murderd its a crying shame also i have moved on and i also like the past i have mixed feelings about all this its like being in nazi germany

and me

yes i know about that one . i thort i would see if there was any more around

I THORT NO MATER WHO YOU ARE ON A FILM SET THATS WHAT YOU DO YOU SIT AROUND ALL DAY AND WAIT ?? . ANIWAY I LIKE MANY OTHERS ON HERE SPENT SOME OF THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE UP THE CASINO WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN FROM 74 TO 76 AND MANY MANY TIMES AFTER. IF SOME BODY WANTS TO MAKE A FILM ABOUT IT GOOD LUCK TO THEM AM REALY PLEASED SOME BODY HAS EVEN BOTHERD TO DO IT . AM ALSO GETING A LITTLE FED UP WITH THE NEGATIVE BITCHING . I WOULD THINK IT FAIR TO SAY THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT USED TO GO TO THE CASINO BACK IN 74 DONT COME ON TO SOUL SOURCE AND THERFORE CANOT GIVE THERE OPINION BUT AM SURE THEY WOULD BE OVER THE MOON THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE MAKING A FILLM ABOUT THAT TIME IN THERE YOUNG LIVES WEATHER ITS SPOT ON OR NOT' THE OTHER THING IS THIS TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THE COMPLAINING "WAS YOU EVEN THERE IN 74" COZ AM NOT SO SURE ?? AS REGARDING THE DANCING DO ME A FAVOUR YOU COULDENT SWING A CAT ROUND MOST OF THE TIME AND IF YOU RIMEMBER LIKE I DO THE SO CALLED TOP DANCERS ALL DANCED IN FRONT OF THE STAGE . SO ITS NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FILMING AS THERE WASANT THAT MUTCH ROOM HALF THE TIME FOR ALL OF THEM SHOWING OFF AT THE SAME TIME . ALSO THERE WAS SOME TERIBLE DANCERS BACK THEN AND SOME EVEN WORSE NOW .SO LETS GET IT RIGHT IT WASANT 1000 SUPER DUPER DANCERS EVERY WEEK . YEAH WE ALL KNOW SINCE THEN LOADS OF SUPER DUPER DANCERS HAVE EVOLVED BUT BACK IN 74 THEY SURE AS HELL DIDANT FILL THE PLACE I CAN COUNT ON MY HANDS THE ONE'S IN FRONT OF THE STAGE . ALSO IF THE FILM IS GOING TO BE TRUE THERE WAS OVER 2000 KIDS IN THE CASINO BACK IN 74 ALL PACKED LIKE SARDINES ON THAT DANCE FLOOR I WAS LUCKY TO SHUFLE ME FEET NEVER MIND ANTHING MORE , AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIOND IF THE FILM IS GOOD AND TRUE TO LIFE I WILL SAY SO 'IF IT AINT YOU CAN SAY IT AINT. GOOD LUCK WITH THE FILM

I GOT IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND I HAD TO PAY A BIG PRICE. I THINK YOU WILL FIND ITS A BIT MORE MONEY THAN WHAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE MENTIOND ON HERE. ITS SHOT UP OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS THAT'S FOR SURE . IT'S ALL VERY WELL THEM SAYING I WOULDENT PAY THIS AND I WOULDENT PAY THAT AND ONE WILL TURN UP IF THAT WAS THE CASE WHY WONT ONE OF THEM SELL YOU ONE , SORRY TO SOUND NEGATIVE .GOOD LUCK ANIWAY .
