Good post Dave, I think most peoples perceptions of records "making it" on here is if it was played out to the masses and achieved dancefloor recognition, as far as I see it, if someone recommends something and there is a few who don't know it and love it, then for me its made it, dancefloor or not, great thread to check stuff out you might not know, just like the Record Club on here, I certainly love the slower side of soul, so realistically, Jim Wray lounge or Horse and Groom, Doncaster and Filthy are the only places I will here that kind of stuff (at a venue). Sure, records could have been played 10 years ago to a limited audience to minimal success, but a tip now might be a better time for that particular record to prosper, great thread IMHO, a great way to share records which is why I reckon Sean set the thread away in the first place
