  1. BBC 4 according to Soul Source produced Soul Brittania but you may be referring to another programme as your quote doesn't appear. Ian Levine, Jazzy B, Kevin Rowland , Enoch powell and other loud mouths
  2. I think the compilations were put together by EMI staff and maybe Dave Godin had some influence on Volume 1 as he did write the sleeve notes. Three columns worth in tiny print. What is it with socialists and cramming as much print onto a page? On Motown memories Vol.2 Mike Raven writes " the very interesting selection of sicxteen tracks before menow. of course I can afford to say this, i did not select them....they have only asked me to write the sleeve notes!" I'm sure I have Vol.3 somewhere but I donn't know who did the sleeve notes for it.
  3. Thanks for that. I didn't know I had it on vinyl. It's a big tune in retro clubs which is what you have when there's not enough mods to support a mod night. The popular Frankie Valli remix meant other versions were dug out
  4. Most promoters are DJs or work closely with DJs and the decks ares set up. Whenever i had to use a set of hired deckls you took it for granted that the previous user was a hip hop/scratch DJ and you reset the deck. here's a tip if the numbers on the weight are facing the rear of the deck you'll need to reset. I do carry a set of carts, rubber mats a screwdriver and record centres but i'm just fussy.
  5. Before this takes legs it wasn't Levine. He may have offered but it was done by someone else.
  6. Ann Byers Here I am prices on Popsike
  7. It's only officially available on vinyl on the above album. Everything else is an acetate or a bootleg/pirate copy.
  8. unless you're Grandmaster Flash and playing 12"s no you don't. I've got four and take them with me where i'm DJ'ing. I want to squeeze every bit of sound out a 45 without feedback.
  9. We're having problems with the live feed to hear us live copy and paste https://stream.subcity.org/subcity.mp3 into your media player The show is NOW on Listen Again at subcity.org felonious

  11. Stupidity is a mod play. Record Collector suggests you would pay £55 for a mint copy.
  12. In the fifties/early sixties there were only two places where you could hear records being played loud. In a coffee bar with a juke box and a youth friendly owner and at the fairgrounds. They initially used ex army/airforce amplifiers and cinema speakers. Prior to that the loud music came from steam and then diesel powered calliopes (Check being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite on Sergeant pepper) If people had a record player at home it was either a wind up 78 player fed through a valve radio or a half a watt Dansette. Carnival ride owners knew their market and some of the guys (and gals) must have been the earliest form of mobile DJs. In the States som e records appeared to be tailor made but were probably just inspired by the rides like Palisade Parks by Freddie Cannon. I always thought Del Shannon sounded best at the carnival.
  13. There's a D Town album of the same name which is causing some confusion but could it be this one? Magic of detroit
  14. Wonderful B side Scotchman Rock. " I Just got down from Scotchland"
  15. According to the tour manager only two gigs sold out on the disastrous 1965 tour. London and the Glasgow Odeon.
  16. The DJs in jamaica have gone over to playing CDs and CDRs and probaly lap tops. I'm sure their British equivalents will continue with the vinyl. if you wish to find out about current pressings head for E bay and do a search on "seven day Fool"
  17. It is not possible to buy a legitimate release as the clips were licensed for broadcast not for sale.
