no that was booted red label soul sounds or something

Not really a reason to have a bad day is it

I had a similar thing when I first started djing... I was at a scooter rally playing Metros "since I found my baby" on Joker and my mate walked in the back of the room walked straight up to me without looking at the decks and said to me "you playing that on a boot it sounds crap the quality at the back of the room is terrible you can just about hear it".. took me 3 months till i found the original .. but that was it...my turning point... maybe that should be the question..if you started djing with boots but don't now what changed your views mind you peanut duck was booted on joker and that really sounds crap... as soon as the needle hits the groove

No not at all... i'm talking dj's I feel a dj with true intrest in the music will search for a record he or she feels will fill the floor... hard I agree ...but you sell records and you must some times think why don't know one play (whatever) its excellant and only £20... dosn't Manship have a recomended list on hes sight some cheap stuff on there.. dosn't pat brady have a recomendation list... Indoors play what you like on whatever format enjoy it dance round your record room/living room, its what its all about.... but if its ok to dj with boots then it must be ok to dj with cd's & mp's. I have friends (honest) that I go to do's with and ask me why I spend so much money on records (which I don't but compared to them I do)... they buy boots and I don't even comment as its there record not mine, I just say if I like the track or not... I have boots upstairs... I just feel for a dj to play boots at a venue is an easy option theres good cheap sounds out there you just need to look for them... i'm off to bed my spellings getting worse..night

Doing what you feel is right for you.

not a prob now since I put 7 pairs of jeans in the washing machine.... banned from using it now, so Em has to do it... Lesson to any man moving in with a woman.. fill the washing machine up till its full and your never allowed to use it again....

i actualy like it... once a year ..... reminds me of being 17 again.... life was easy then .......... scooter.... and when records on a tape was good enough

I'm sure we all have funny stories etc to tell but didn't someone get there name in the paper once for football stuff after some one read it on here... maybe we should stop about what other people do at nighters and get back to how bad the letter is... sorry just a thought i'm as bad as everyone else...

no me neither all them old boring chats we have

This has taken me 5 minutes to do.... on ebay ... buy it now... only an example and only took 5 minutes... Johnny-Sayles-I-cant-get-enough- £3.99 Rubin you been away £3.99 Dee Dee Sharpe - deep dark secret £4. Frank Wilson £6.99 Morris Chesnut to darn soulful £10 4 below 0 my baby's got esp. £3.99 Bobby Hutton -lend a hand (double sider see below) Lou pride - I'm coming home in the morning £7.99 Tony Galla - in love £9.99 £50 odd quid + p&p no passion there ... no searching for something differnt .. take the Tony Galla £9.99 for example (and also one of my fav records) but for £10/£15 you can find a decent out of fashion soul record that will fill a floor ..... if you wanted to or if you can be bothered.. Then again I don't care what you play I only care what I play

I hear what you are saying but if a tune got hammered at every soul do we went to we would get fed up with it... if we all played boots then the rarer stuff would become over played, because you would hear it at most do's most weekend. maybe then it would be the dj's with the cheaper none booted stuff in thier box's that would lead the way..... uuummmm everyone play boots of big tunes... I found my nitch in the market

To dj you need passion, finding originals 45's is a passion.. buying boots takes 5 minutes on ebay.... Type in Northern Soul ... click Buy It Now... 15 minutes later and £100, you have a set of top tunes wheres the passion in that... also if we all played boots rarer records would loose there sparkle.. Only my views...

Record buying?

not for sale but just out of intrest what does the night go for (3002)? cheers

Thing is if you was old bill and you see this going on and wanted to act on it wouldn't you have a word with the promoter that night show him your warrant card and say you better watch your back.... if i see it who else has... blah blah blah.... I think a genuine soulie (whatever your line of work) if you have a good local do on, you would support it not want to close it..

you'd be able to do that by putting another 7" on top and marking it out...

I know its been on here before about holes not being in the centre of records.. so the record won't play normaly.. anyway thought this could help.its so you can cut the hole in the right place... just a thought https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...mMakeTrack=true

it's a white label single sided 12" but with only a 7" grove cut in it...

Well after your sales pitch it should fly out

Can anyone tell me what the score is with the 12" of Jackie Ross, is it from an album or unrelesed... Cheers Mischief

And you gotta hope he don't 2nd chance them to the next bidder sorry just read this again ... sounds like i'm gonna bid on them i'm not.. meant about the other thread same dealer..

cheers Pete

Has anyone got it on tape or dvd would love to see it in full

Probably... but 100% of venues are hired out as a commercial venture its how the owner makes a living ...fire regulations health and safety etc all have to be taken into account..... what % of northern promoters make aliving from putting on do's, most are lucky if they clear the dj's fees .... venue hire ...printing of flyers.... deck hire.. etc.. so they may make a couple of quid big deal.... Good luck to them.. If you was in Tescos and slipped on a bottle of spilt talc and was unable to work due to a brokem limb and you was being paid SSP and because of that got behind on your loan payments on your car your mortgage etc, what would you do?
