CAMBRIDGE SOUL

it was one no one wanted to buy when i sold up in 83/84..... sold it for £30 in 87 i think, i have seen it go for £200 mint but over that seems like madness as there was loads of them about ????? but then again sold daybreak for £50 in 83/84 and they have gone for over £1000 at times ........... Dave Thorly played it out about a year ago and still sounded great, if a bit off tune E, W & F at times

Yes no1 for me for many years.... .... I must have a Sam friendly mixer.... he's used it twice and not played around with anything! ...... You'll have to ask him why next time you speak.... Would be interested to know the reason why? .... Could hire it around the weekend venues and make some money to buy those hard to find monsters!

i would add the word try in there Pete..... many do's i go to that have massive feed back on ss and are hyped up, are ok to good and some of the do's that get very little feed back are packed with punters and are great nights both on the people and music side ...... depends if you have an ss crowd in i suppose.... start a thread Pete could be interesting

when Sam played at Fulbourn and Evolution i was informed this was the case.... but not a slider/button or knob changed ! is it another northern myth ?

Most of the gigs I promote are not only 60's northern so it's not that black and white..... as most things in life.. Cambridge soul collective, Fulbourn do's are OVO on northern/crossover/RnB and Latin but as we are a true across the board venue, if someone requested a track like 831 by Lisa then I would play the demo cd I have as it is not available on vinyl... I will not have a carver made just to keep the soul police happy! Evolution @ St Ives is an OVO gig in the main room also the RnB room but many of the upfront modern sounds played in the modern room will be on cd... but the room will be 90% OVO... Reunion @ St Ives cannot be an OVO Gig as Brian Rae plays cd's..... All other DJ's will play OVO and the modern oldies room will be an OVO room The sound system used at Fulbourn and in the Theatre room at St Ives cost in excess of £3000.00 and we only use Technics decks and good quality carts and stylus, I have played some boots/pressings against the original and in many cases you can tell the difference in sound quality but not all as some boots/pressings are top quality. Re the OVO issue.... I would not play the 2nd issue of Al Mason.... but I would play the Expansion 7" of just ask me rather than mess around with the original LP... also the expansion 7" is the first issue.. and don't forget you have to be careful with British issues/demo's/originals as Dave Rimmer says all British are 2nd issues not originals but that's another issue! Lol. Hi Dave

a donation from the profits will be made to a cancer charity..... the amount and charity chosen will be posted on soulsorce after the event...... tickets now avaliable at £8 in advance (£10 OTD).... pm me or call 07780 953481.... tickets also on https://www.wegottickets.com/event/36037

roast chicken and all the trimmings ..... and a pack of dodo's on the side

wont sell anymore tickets if it was 50th ?????? it will be a packer as always....... anyway IMHO 33 sounds better ..... 33rpm ???? .......just a print cock up as far as i know 33 became 35 .... things like that happen when you get old ..... will still be a great night and next year will be 34 ! unless it gets printed 39 ! hope i'm not tempting fate ! see you all there.....

paid £300 at prest-hat-inn , from Mr Chapman , mint

always play at least one British 45 in your spot ......... not sure about that just came into my head ! lol

no playing rare for rare's sake !

always play them something they don't know..... but it has to be quality !

hope you pull it off .... good luck

........ it's Blink 182 .... my son plays them .. YUK !

spot on James .... we were all there once

bugger i must have missed the REAL SEAL nights ! lol ..... or is it that what Mr Chris Brown called his house party's ..... Max and Chris (real deal residents) and Adam all in the black room at Evolution would be great to see the Frames Real Deal crowd out in mass !

[These early 'modern soul' tracks would have included ZZ & Co "Getting Ready For The Get Down" O T Sykes "Stone Crush" King Tutt "You Got Me Hung Up" High Frquency "Summertime" Rideout "Someone Special" I well recall the UK's first 'Modern Soul' Allnighter being held in Rotherham Tiffanys in 80/81... not before that... and how the South Yorkshire region was the real Birthplace (or at least the initial hotbed) for the Modern Soul 'scene' with Clifton Hall, Turnups, Sheffield Tiffanys etc. at the time it was called the 70's scene.... don't know why , maybe because " 60's newies" was the term used for most of the new northern being played ??? i suppose these venues were used as they were easy for Sam and Arthur to get to ???? ...... must say in the day Rotterham seemed a long way from Cambridge and my mk3 cortina only just made it to Romeo & Juliets in Sheffield ..... never seen as many steep roads to drive up coming from a flat area of the country ..... what ever happened to Kevin from Bolton ?

lost for words ????? unlike you , your normaly full of it !

read the post it's what scoucers would have called you ! ..... i went and they were AWSOME ! .... and it's great to see it on SS so quick .... stop being so neg on soooooo many threads you missed out .... your loss
