Russ Vickers Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Good point Ian............I think some have been comped, but dont neccessarily reflect that they are post Stafford, I also think that maybe Kent aside, previous eras are more commercially viable. Russ Thinking about it further, packaged & promoted properly with good liner notes, this could be a very interesting CD comp methinks. Russ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Prophonics 2029 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Agreed - I never went to Stafford - or anywhere else much in the mid 80s, other than the National Film Theatre - so it's helping me to get a bit of new persepctive. Please keep the lists coming, y'all! I was at the Barbican and The Royal Opera House Ice cream, Ice cream raspberry ripple, Vanilla slice. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rumour has it that there's Stafford and post-Stafford 100 Club albums in the works to cover this neglected period! Long overdue by the looks of it..........

Long overdue by the looks of it.......... Ian D Absolutely 100% on that.................there are hundreds of fantastic 100 club plays that obviously during that part of the 8ts, ran consecutively with Stafford, but since is the single most influential venue, constantly breaking new tunes.......yes, other venues have come & gone & added a wealth of new plays, but for sheer longevity & the amount of newies played thru out that time the 100 Club is King...........long live the King !!!!!.

Raresoul45s Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 How about Marvin gayes unissued version of When I feel the need played by Chris King if i'm not mistaken and covered up as its my baby even though Nick ashford had already released it on verve. That said the two versions are poles apart.

Guest in town Mikey Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ian Clarke, Stafford tune Again, one of my all time faves. I'd need a top 1,000 just to list them at this rate. I think it would be 100% possible to have an 8 hour allnighter just playing my absolute favourite tunes (Once only), and there'd still be another 8 hours worth of the stuff I've forgotten. How about the guys who've been into this 20 years longer than me? They'd need a 2 week Soul in the sun Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
