Chalky Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 'I've heard people call Mick H a "cheque book DJ", but he's head and shoulders above 99% of the DJs on the soul scene in my very correct opinion. And wouldn't you rather have DJs out there buying the rare records and playing them on the UK soul scene than not?' I think DJs like Mick are great, particulary after visiting Lifeline and hearing the DJs there playing not just rare records but quality obscurities and records that you just don't hear anywhere else. Theres nothing better than hearing new sounds of excellent calibre and even better when they are in plentiful supply. Very keen on Mick's Anita Humes CU too, a belting record. ps. Anyone know how many copies of the Royal Imperials on Mellow Town are knocking about?? I would rephrase what I said to how JT described 'em, sheep dj's. DJ's who chase indemanders and with little imnagination and for some the more they spend on a record the better, said I wasn't gonna get involved in this arguement The scene would be very poor without DJ's like Mick who has a lot to offer and believes in wanting to hear something different, one of the reasons he's involved with Lifeline.

Guest uroffal Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Cheers Mr Rushbrooke Has To Be The most Underated DJ Of All Time Have to agree with you there - so many of his early '80s spins still relatively unknown and underplayed: J Finch and the Specials, Naturals to name but two Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Your quality Pete I know. But next someone will say "you don't like it because you don't understand it". Well I bet the same people can't stand punk rock. Is that because they don't understand it or because it sounds like shit to them? Jazz to me sounds like a pre-school playgroup who've been told to pick up an instrument and try to play it. No wonder Chet Baker jumped out of that f*cking window, he was trying to escape from the sound of his own haunted trumpet... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Quinvy Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Just Wait And See - little john - go-gate 13070 refosoul Many thanks for that Chalky. I wondered what this record was, I heard James Trouble play it once at S.O.N. and thought it was fantastic. £3k in JM's guide looks like another I'll never own.

Yes, there does seem to be a lot of "emperor's new clothes" in the jazz world - recently I listened to a CD which sounded almost as though the band were spending half an hour tuning up Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I always thought it was Ok, but more so for the one guy who could actually dance to it at Stafford. Not one that has particularly stood the test of time IMO.

PMT must be hard to live with? Or should I post that in a seperate topic in the freebashing section? Simple explanation - Chalky posted it using the site soundclip facility, which means that the clip is played as a streaming file. Yours was an attached downloadable mp3 which is not allowed under the site guidelines. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
