ImberBoy Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have been reading with interest all of the views on this subject and I truley believe that Fingers is winding us up, well I hope he is? I think there is room for this track and those of its ilk to be played on the Soul Night Scene perhaps? I haven't got any problems with a DJ or a venue deciding to play the likes of Duffy but I think they should tell me before I set off into the night to travel half way across the country, the paying punter should know what the music policy is. I personally do not want to associate with any venue, any promoter or any DJ who wants to knock out this crap so please let us know. I am a regular allnighter go'er and I love progressive soul music, I just don't want to hear this shite, it has no soul and it has no place on the British Allnighter Circuit Fingers I think you are cracking bloke and I think your reputation is growing and growing as a man who loves rare soul music but I think this is going to haunt you mate. A man goes into a pub in a small town and, for whatever reason, gets introduced to the clientele. There's Farmer Jack, Barman Jim, Maurice "Dancer" and Sheep shagger John. After a few pints, the visitor's curiosity gets the better of him and he asks John what's with the nickname. "See this pub?" asks John, "I built it, but they don't call me Pub builder John? I'm the local doctor, I saved Barman Jim's life once when he choked on a peanut, but they don't call me Lifesaver John. Every year, I supply a huge Christmas tree for the village green, but the don't call me Christmas Tree John. "But you shag one lousy sheep..."

I take it you won't be associating with our Johnny anymore then? As for "any venue, any promoter... who wants to knock out this crap..."? I can tell you now, USOS and it's promoter's do NOT promote the playing of records like this! So you can jump right in Imber... the soul is lovely Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

ImberBoy Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Why don't we hear this spun at venues? There are links here to Northernsoul so every one should be happy, it starts with The Hawaii 50 intro that was of course played at Wigan and was in fact released as a Casino Classic. Then we of course have an ultra rare "You can count on me" Sammy Davis Jnr, at one time you could send for this track via Blues n Soul and you would get a cut down LP! We are well and truly into Northernsoul territory now!! And the best is yet to come, Chubby Checker is inviting us to twist and as we all know Chubby Checker - You Just Don't Know is one of thee most expensive spins on the Northernsoul Scene so lets get this little fooker spun at the venues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ficklefingers Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) I take it you won't be associating with our Johnny anymore then? As for "any venue, any promoter... who wants to knock out this crap..."? I can tell you now, USOS and it's promoter's do NOT promote the playing of records like this! So you can jump right in Imber... the soul is lovely Just to reiterate Joan's comment - it's unequivocal.. The promoter's of U.S.O.S. do NOT condone this type of 45 & it certainly is not the 'norm' at their functions. In fact.. I saw Kev chokin' on his beer as it came on - then quickly knock back 14 SHOTS IN A ROW !! Martyn was quickly making the rounds of the attended - asking if anyone had a gun.. And poor Sharon was holding her hands aloft & loudly proclaiming 'I didn't book him' !! So.. no worries Simon, you can safely head on down to this brilliant night of Soul - but, I feel it only fair to warn you BEFORE you set off on the journey - they won't be able to satisfy your 'slippery' request.. Okay - votes are in and counted.. From the 68 that cast, a resounding 51 (75%) majority has said DEFINATELY NOT TO BE PLAYED AT A SOUL VENUE.. And have quickly destined my b'day gift to forever languish in a cold, dark, corner of the cupboard in my record room.. Only ever to see the light of day again once the time capsule (it now calls 'home') is discovered by some far-off generation. I've really enjoyed the postings on here - the ASBO poster & Imber's first post being the two to make me guffaw the loudest. Hopefully others have derived some modicum of enjoyment & laughter too. I'm pleased to announce that Soul Police have decided not to send me to HMP Nonsoulie - and, instead, conveyed a sentence of 'probation', whereby I am ONLY allowed at future Soul Music promotions if wearing the handcuffs they provided.. And ONLY allowed to DJ if & when accompanied by a member of the said Soul Police - who will 'police' my selections before allowing them turntable experience. Time to put this to bed, now.. Whilst I go see what this weeks 'New Releases' are.. Fingers Edited September 22, 2009 by FickleFingers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
