Thanks for that info tony, never new that

I often wonder if a lester tipton w/d will ever turn up or is there one?

Got to agree with you there pete, sam is an inspiration to us all, a lot of people forget just what great records he has played over the years and his enthusiasm for the music is still as strong today as ever, plus as you say a really nice guy as well

Thank god ive got so many great memories of the place, i remember that night when he played that, all my mates were mr m`s regulars, but i allways stayed in the main hall, mainly due to the brilliance of richard searling, that was the only time i thought of walking out of that place

yeh were fine sid, give our regards to bernie the other one that seems to have turned up in great quantity ROYAL ESQUIRES, i recall a dj paying a £1000 for that one

hi sid one that allways springs to mind with me, is EJ CHANDLER,

more added for the skegness beer fund, whey hey

Fat simmons?

thanks chalky

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...hlink:middle:us Is this the same guy who was selling one the other week, if so wonder how many he`s got?

he would have probably argued tooth and nail as we did on many occasions and i`m sure many others did with him over his views, but we had a mutual respect for each other and i would never have dictated to him what i thought he should do and vice versa, also ive mellowed wth age, and have realised no matter what you say you aint gonna change anything so i go along enjoying every minute of my soul life in every way possible the comments made are certainly not aimed at you personally, we all have our different opinions, i for one don`t like the idea that a few people seem to believe they have the right to tell others where they are going wrong, i personally am happy to do what i want when i want, personally i never got involved in anyting political on the scene and never really saw any of this it just seems nowadays its everywhere, you`d have thought with age we`d have all come closer together rather than drifting apart at every possible venture, i`m the first to admit that there needs to be newsounds introduced on the scene and applaud all forward thinking dj`s promoters etc, but the tide is against them unfortunatley, i started a night of underplayed sounds in a little local venue, and after doing a lot of asking people who all said yeh tht would be a great idea, the highest attendance we got was 40 in a 150 venue yet the local lads down the road playing outplayed oldies in a 200-300 capacity hall packed the venue everytime, and the other thing is once at my underplayed night i advertised it as a free for all, bring a box and dj thing, guess wich night had the highest attendance at my venue, everyone wants to be a dj, but many aint, that thing that looks like an ice cream cones a microphone, and if used properly can be the best tool for creating atmosphere in a room, too many COLLECTORS just put record after record on without even uttering a word throughout there whole spot, thats my two penneth and now ive had my say on what seems to me to be a pointless excercise but remember please its only a personal opinion

Can someone tell me where i can get a copy of the northern soul rule book? then i can read up on it, and i won`t have people then telling me how and where i can enjoy myself, on my very preciouse weekends out

I have the lp, fab its just a big story

If i remember rightly pete, we all bought this lp, because it was the only way at the time to get BOBBY PARIS-I WALKED AWAY before it was released on british capitol

How sads this gash, i liked the flip honestly though it was a great tune in its day

CORRECT! CORRECT! CORRECT well said that man

Heres another scenario, a couple of years ago i went to a very successful local soulnight, this particular night, probably one of the most well known and well respected oldies dj`s of the scene had been booked, also being a long time friend i attended, when he was playing i went up for a chat to catch up as i`d not seen him for so long, he only had a small box with him so i asked if i could take a look he said ok, 95% of the records in his playbox were goldmine/kent re-issues, and he was playing them, as ive said on the other thread i have no problem with this and him being such a brilliant DJ he used what he had and filled the floor throughout his spot and got standing applause at the end, what would you do in this situation as a promoter youve obviously paid good money for a named dj and he brings a playbox such as this

was his first name MOSES

Agreed here ralph, theres a good point there about the scene going underground again, i personally don`t think this could happen, due to the media of today, the only way we got to here of venues years ago was by word of mouth, by attending venues etc

Well said that man, my thoughts exactly, havn`t spent over £50 for years now, the media section on here is full of top class tunes, if i wanted to listen to records worth mega bucks then i`d go to that venue, if i don`t i won`t simple really, we all know the venues where to hear the super rare items and we should by now know the dj`s who play them, its a personal choice and each to there own, and no amount of disgracing promoters over there music policy will change my mind, i love and applaud forward thinking musical tastes, i also love the complete history of the scene its a whole deal for me, i can`t and don`t want to split it into different fragments

just a bit of sarcastic fun paul,been here done this one, and i suppose we`ll do it again and again and again, as some people on here have quite rightly said, its not gonna make any difference, people will go where they wanna go, i just am thankful that i`m healthy enough and still have the passion to want to attend soul do`s,wherever whatever it may be, glad you liked the tune though, have a good holiday mate
