nickp Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 number 338 record perfect, sounded awesome on Saturday night in The Old Fruitmarket Glasgow as part of vintage festival. No soul police to give me gip and 1200 people through the door. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Steve G Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'll have to talk to the Scottish contingent to see why such a large venue wasn't "policed" effectively......It was clearly an oversight and quite possibly the soul police were overstretched....In the mean time please accept our apologies.. Seriously, glad it went well for you! 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Popular Post Chalky Posted July 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2013 What I find funny is people would pay £10 or whatever it is and happily play it out, probably because the original is rare and it is getting a lot of attention and talk, yet most wouldn't play a £10 original cheapie?

jocko Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Mr P, a number of Allantoniun Alumni are currently searching for the smiley looking over their sunglasses toi include on here, and behind our screens pointing to our eyes with our fingers, in that well known Glasgow Gangsta stylee, to show you we have our eye on you.......I was going to say glad to see Fruitmarket had some young trendy** Scots dj's playing alongside the same old names from Engerland, but may now have to consider my approval on hold.** And just in case anyone is guffawing loudly at Mr Kent (aka Ewan) or Mr Peacock being seen as young and trendy in their passing middle aged days, I was more meaning the crowd they play to on a regular basis, well done boys, someone at least did their homework.

Popular Post jocko Posted July 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2013 PS F****ng great record, and personally I don't think reissues of stuff like this impact, or should impact, on plays at the right venues. In fact I would even go as far as to say it helps. But I appreciate this is a view from an armchair so may be miles out.When is it coming out on CD is the more important question for me 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
nickp Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Well said Jock. To think , as I was sorting my records for Saturday night, and only getting my John Harris when I arrived home on Friday evening , that I was worried about playing it on Saturday night, I even contemplated leaving it at home. I was doing the first 75 mins at a massive night celebrating 60ts soul through to quality disco and I could basically play what I liked to create a vibe as people arrived. If that record, or any other that I played, added to the enjoyment that the crowd experienced then I feel that I did my job. To make up for my sin I ensured that every other record that I played was original vinyl. I was a bit upset though that , when I played Soul Communicators no one danced, then again it was only 8.30pm, not am. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Jordirip Posted July 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2013 Sounded great when Phil Wainright dropped the needle on his orig copy last week at the Inner Circle night in Manchester, in a sweaty cellar bar, it just seemed so right somehow if you know what i mean. 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
NEV Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Why then still bother ? My thoughts too ..before this statement I was happy to accept the situation that some people don't care about ovo and that's entirely fine with me ..but that one statement dissolves any credibility you had for putting your neck on the block and standing up for those who don't care about ovo . The word hypocrite springs to mind 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
nickp Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 There are too many good records to mention ,that are great and rare and also re-issued and also many venues with dj's that play em . Come to think of it ,usually the same venues and dj's that mock rare soul venues and rare soul dj's as the type of places that only play boring chin stroker music ...when it suits lol Like I said ...it's up to an individuals integrity , if you dj at non ovo venues I won't be offended . Seems that you are in fact offended. I guess my attempt at injecting a little bit of humour into the thread ' making up for my sin ' fell on deaf ears.

I have friends who follow your train of thought and I dont wish to fall out with them ,so I'm not gonna by hypocritical and insult you ..your probably a smashing fella ...at least we have one thing in common ..taste in music 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I guess my attempt at injecting a little bit of humour into the thread ' making up for my sin ' fell on deaf ears. Hey, that's Soul Source for ] Come on, you surely only made the effort to post that you played the pressing out in order to provoke a reaction? Obviously you must not think its a sin to play a pressing out as you did just that, but you also felt the need to say you played original vinyl apart from this, so you do sound conflicted. What's your code, that you play ovo unless it's something really good and expensive? Probably better to have no principles than bendy ones. I dont care, I'm happy that you rocked the dance, but marc's question is a legitimate one...why play any original vinyl? Sorry if this is off topic but I cannot, for the life of me, see why this needs to be pressed on a 45, isn't it a good tune on mp3? Kids these days dont know what vinyl is but the clubs only have record decks yeah? Come on. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Hammersoul Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Finally got mine last week 282 if memory`s serves. Plays fine so looks like Pete got a bad copy.Downside is i had to pay twice cos the seller said my debit card didn`t go throu when it did(only got the statement in the week). So either i `m getting an extra copy or looks like a refund via paypal is due . Re playing the 2rd press at a gig,fair play to person who posted and admitted it,i`m sure there`s a few who will try it on who would`t have bottle to admit to it. Personally i would`t play it out even if i got requested to but i`m old school and set in me ways.On the flipside,i would`t pay £2k for any record now,i can get a lotta good records for less and let`s be honest,i would imagine most copies are bashed/wrecked so to own a mint copy that`s been mastered well and sounds clear and loud in your own home,works for me on prices being quoted for a 1st press. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
