Must have been something about uptempo records in my blood. The first record i ever bought was dave clarke`s bits n pieces aged 6 my mam tells me i used to play cardboard boxes as drums to it in our living room, grew up listening to the ronnettes, crystals, righteous brothers etc, my brother could only i suppose be described as a ROCKER with his BSA roadrocket n his pisspot helmet with two stick on eyes on the front, so imagine his horror when in the seventees, i arrived home on my shiny LAMBRETTA LI 150 SERIES 3, sent to coventry or what, anyway at that time i thought soul was either a fish or something on the bottom of yer shoe,my best friend at the time was into motown, and dragged me to our local soul night to say i was hooked is an understatement this was a thursday night, took all my beloved fishing tackle to the second hand shop on the friday, saturday 6.15 platform 8a york station boarded a train to wigan, AND A SOULIE WAS BORN

Allways remember many years ago buying a copy of ral donner don`t let it slip away on red vynil, all other copies at the time were white, also wasn`t there an okeh release on purple vinyl memory shot on that one though

Correct of course it wasn`t a listing as such it was advertising there site, and had really good replies by quite a few people on the topic, must say this is the first time ive come across this on here, and in the main ive had no problems at all in both sales and wants

Hi val, put the post on in the hope that the people involved would read it, and realise this is not good customer relations, don`t really want to name and shame them on here, just a bit miffed off with the sevice i was given, had this a few times on GEMM aswell, just think its really bad manners not to contact customers

Looking through the sales section the other day noticed everyone giving a newish shop/web site big plugs, so went on and found a record that my wife wants, so sent a pm NO REPLY, rang the shop got the answer phone LEFT A MESSAGE WITH MY PHONE NUMBER,NO REPLY? rang the mobile number managed to speak to one of the owners, who said he wasn`t sure wether the record was in stock and took my number said he would get back to me, AFTER TWO DAYS STILL NO REPLY.If the record wasn`t available why wasn`t i at least contacted to inform me of the situation. If this is a newish buisness venture then customer relations should be a high priority if not just good manners. Have managed to source the record in question elsewhere now so good news in the end

Was there a white demo, my mate has one?

Can`t place that one anyone got a soundclip please

Good advice john many thanks i`m sure from us all

PM`D YA MATE HARRY

AAAAAAARRRRGH, DOING MY HEAD IN NOW I KNOW I KNOW IT

Sounds like something by the HOLIDAYS just looking through some records now

Totally agree with you here, my wife used your exact words [casting the first stone] on the topic yesterday, as for the casino, not knocking this guy he was a brilliant dj being from york our representative at the casino was alan rhodes, and he played a lot of emi discs/aka acetates, my mate would often comment on how heavy his box was

Hope this isn`t bad news i had a red one but with a stuck on label, i allways presumed it was a boot, know what you mean about the white ones seen them aswell

Earlier on in this topic i said i`d read only two decent quotes in all of this i`d now like to change that to three Another voice of reason

Heres a point for you all, i can understand limited edition sets ie 100 club anniversary sets, but why if this is such a bone of contention do other uk re-issue labels still churn out original american recordings out week after week if the big record collectors are so against the playing of non originals why are some of them involved in this practice when there is the option of cd format? surely its only giving people easier access to these recordings, me myself on this one i`m a so CALLED FENCE SITTER but i think people would never play CD`S or do they, the never ending battle against illegal bootleggs is bad enough but you can obtain some of the rarest tunes on the scene legally on these shores

PLAYED AT THE DOLPHIN CENTRE DARLINGTON ALL NIGHTER CANT REMEMBER WHAT YEAR THOUGH

SHAME ON YOU TREV, YOU`LL DO ANYTHING FOR A PLUG [TOU`CHE]

Posted a topic on here about bankholidays in scarborough, one of the lasses who used to go around with us was frankie from redcar, anyone know what happened to her?

I`ve chose two posts out of all of this that make any sense to me, this is the second, applause to you sir for a sensible post, has the promotor of the event in question, replied to defend his decision to book this dj or is it all to be on the poor lady in question

Whey hey after 400 replies still not resolved, site was only down two days was you lot saving your posts up?
