Rick Scott

Thank you for the Music Sly ' Loved Spinning M'Lady ' You left us some fabulous Music ...Thank You... Condolences to Your family and Close Friends for their Loss. RIP Sly Stone

This was big for me right from the get go Bought as new release when i Heard on Pirate Radio and First aired at my soul Nite at the Friendship Inn Keadby (Village near Scunthorpe) great memories.

I Had Couple of Very expensive records ruined by Back Cueing in the past at venues i'd DJ'd at (Tough Girl & Love Slipped through my fingers) so after that experience i Stoped back cueing all together. Placing the Stylus at the beginning of a record then have a listen to hear how long it is before the sound kicks in and with a bit of practise it becomes a dodle and press the play button couple of seconds before you end your introducing it, works for me. Other Nightmares for me is turning up at a venue to DJ at and finding COINS or other heavy stuff stuck on top of the head shell, when i asked the promoter why that was i was told, Old styluses mate, so it stops the record from Jumping. Record box Box Lid Closed and headed for the exit. I have actually come across a DJ to two who carried a couple of Cartridges & his own Mic & Headphones to Venues. 😉 Commitment or What ?

What a Sad Time This Is as i have Very Fond Memories of the Tunes i have played in my sets by John. One of the All Time Great Voices we have been Privileged to Enjoy. Condolences, Peace And Love, To All His Family And Very Close Friends.

One person i remember very well who Loved The Mic was BUB, you Just new that Arthur And the Coalminers were going to get a mention, and no that was not a cover up 😃, many of our older Soulies on here will have many a fond memory or story about him and yes, he always found the time to tell you what he was playing and to get on that ******* dance floor.

All the previous comments speak for themselves and he was just that, everything you would want for in a True Friend and the rest.......... A very sad day and a great lose to the music Scene. My Condolences to his Family & Close friends at this time. Now At Peace. Ted, You truly Are a Legend to so many people.

Lost For Words at this point trying to take it all in, so many Heroes (musically) and so many Friends (Socially) that we have amassed over the years on this wonderful Musical Ride of ours and here we are again having to come to the terms of another *Much loved One Lost* So, So Sad. * RIP Mary Ann Sexton * Condolences To All Your Family and Close Friends. *Thank You For The Music With Which You Inspired Us All*

But Happy to say he is Continueing to Dj and will catch up with us all somewhere Along the Way. Have a great Retirement from that side of your life Sean and Thank you for all those nice Bits Of Vinyl Purchased over the years, Have Fun Now, You Earned It My Friend! 🙂🍾 Rick

Hadn't Seen or Spoken to Snowy for a number of years now, but a very Sad Loss Indeed. A very nice Person to Know and a Credit to the Scene. He will be sadly missed by all those that came into contact with him. Condolences to his Family and Close Friends. RIP My Friend.

10 Days down the line and still can't get my head round this Sad Loss of Angie Stone (and all of the other loses this year has thrown at us) Such a Talent & A Sweet Sweet Lady. I Was Lucky to be DJ'ing in my Home Town of Scunthorpe Last Nite (Sat 8th) and Opened My set with "I Wish I Didn't Miss You" The Remix, asking the Crowd to join me in Paying Our very own Respect to the Lady in the only Way That As Soul Fans we could, With their Feet On The Dance Floor, they did not disappoint, followed by a round of applause (not for me) but for Angie 🥰

Yea, but someone told me it was coming from your Microwave Oven 🤣

Happy Holiday Everyone *Hope it's a Cracker* As always, Stay Safe, have Fun, and and be kind to one another 🥰

Just for the Record (yes i will take that as a pun Ha Ha) 😊 It was far better than lot of Pop Drivel that was played on the Scene over the years and judging by that from comments on the thread so far, Dave Thorley Played it on the Dodgy Acetate,Chalky and myself were playing it off the LP and like me must have had many people up to the Turntables to see what was being played, Rob5airborne was Chasing it to find out it's identity and been Bugging him for over 30 years Rated it as a 'Absolutely Blinding Track' Blackpoolsoul has been trying to gleam some information on Allan Scott and seems there is just nothing out there about him, but thanks for all your efforts 😃 **So yes, for a 'Quality Pop Record' it certainly got the Juices Flowing Back Then & Now It Would Seem**

Yep Benji that is true, Its what ever rocks our boats as it is with all forms of music, Thanks for all the input , been fun 😃 Rick

Too True, great shame as it would have made a welcome official 7" release but hey! was not to be, but loads of other singers felt differently and did their version/take on it. But for me Allans is the best version for me.

Spot on Chalky Came out in the USA & Canada. Allan Scott I Needed A Woman LP TOWER - ST- 5164 US 1969. Allan Scott I Needed A Woman LP Capitol - ST - 6338 CANADA. If you are checking out YOUTUBE Video Make Sure you spell his first name as Allan NOT Allen as that is another Artist. Checked on Discogs & a few copies up there for those that may well be wanting this now, Though Only Sellers in US & Canada at the Moment.

Terrible News as one of my Favourite singers from The 60s and beyond. Condolences to All His Family And Friends, may you RIP Frankie, and Thank You for the Memories of your Wonderful Songs & Music.

Wouldn't dream of it Roburt as i think that sounds like it is as close as we are going to get on an answer to my question, so thank you so much for that, most helpful Rick

Thanks all you guys for your help and contributions. would still like to know why a studio would make metal tin plate discs that you can actually play rather than say, acetates etc, for what purpose? but i think only the people that made them would have the answer to that one 😕

Just Re Played all the discs mentioned and sound quality is good, all very early 60s soul, all but one are down beat and nothing great bar the Phil - Wood 093 (Pi Pi 859) Which is a not a too bad up- tempo Gospel type dancer with male vocal with "I DON'T KNOW" sang a lot with Female singers interjecting ,Some body help me - Sweet Jesus, and the Devil gets a mention or two The record starts with twanging lead guitar and male singer singing (Not counting in) ONE - TWO- THREE - FOUR over the guitar with a couple of seconds between each number sang before getting into the I Don't Know etc Routine, i'm trying to be helpful here as not techi minded enough to put a sound bite up but somebody into Gospel might recognise it as it best of the bunch, So still curious about why the discs are cut on this silver plate so that they can be played ? I did find one record on Discogs On Select O - Hit Label By The Right Combination (s-o -h 023) A) Everything i do B) How can your heart be free (when your love belongs to me Mastered at Master Craft Pressed by Plastic Products B side better side of the two but not great.

Just for the Record 🤣 All these Discs ARE Playable And yes Roburt you are Correct, Gary Based in Sheffield With his Black Knight Record Lists until he became rather ill with MS i believe They are nothing but metal so just a silver looking disc so i only played them the once as wouldn't do the stylus much good.

I have 5 metal Plate playable One Sided Discs that i acquired from Gary S (Black Knight Records) Many years ago when i went over to purchase Vinyl off him, if i remember rightly he gave them to me. They are 12" Dull metal Discs on Blank side and Shiny Silver on the A side, with the record cut like a 7" single in the Middle. They are in brown card board sleeves all of which have an address and Phone number on and the proposed Record number on each enclosed Disc. Would love to know if anyone else has come across these on their travels or know the why's where's and when's on them. They certainly are unusual, A shame i can't take Pics of them so given as much info as i can with what vi have, so over to you Guys for any info or ideas on them.

Just spotted 9 Huge Daddy Long Legs in a Huddle outside under my Kitchen Windowsill so whether there is an increase in those i'm not sure but i have never seen that many all in one small space, very large bodies and longest legs i've seen.

Yea not too bad Peter Thank You. Only speed i did was on my SX200 (within The Law Of Course) Didn't Drink or Smoke (still Don't) Couldn't afford it even if i wanted to any way as Spent all my hard earned cash on Vinyl 😄 As You Do Ha Ha🤣
