That's Liam isn't it?

I rate the other side better... Bent out of Shape... a thousand times more than No Explanation. £50 in Manships.... this seems low to me... could be wrong... usually am when it comes to values of records.

Nope... same thing happened again... knew it would be me

Have tried to play it 3 times... but each time i get a second's worth of music... and then a notice saying Microsoft Explorer has encountered a problem and has to close. Next thing i know ... i'm off and have to log on again. Is it just me? Bet it is... be typical that!!

and no Kirsty... you most definitely are not!! me ... on the other hand...

Well i wouldn't.... COULDN'T... never had it... never even had it on tape mate!

Yes i am quite aware of that fact thankyou Bazza.... but he had logged in using his own account.... hasn't done since though... funny that...

Nice one Boss

That was quick Nick.... can't believe you've gone off such a top tune so quickly?

Like my friend has already said... if it's in your play box... it's in there for a reason... to play. Four Pros is in mine ... so yes of course i would play it for you if you asked me!

Sounds like you're saying DJ's are born DJ's Surely ALL DJ's are record collectors too.....

PMSL

Ha ha Brian ... never bought the wrong record by mistake then!! I... unfortunately have. All i was saying... it helps to know what the record actually looks like... nothing else.... ok?

At the end of the day it's all down to preference... some like ... some don't like.... pretty much as it is with everything on the soul scene. Now i don't for one second consider myself a DJ... i'm just a lass who loves soul with a passion... loves to dance with a passion... and collect the odd record ... again .. with a passion... and if people ask me to do the odd spot... then i will do it ... again with a passion. I personally don't use the mic... for no other reason other than the fact that i talk... err... a little fast... and therefore is definitely a blessing that i refrain. So does that mean i shouldn't play records at a venue? Bollocks! Everybody that asks me to do a spot knows that i don't use the mic. If that's a problem for you... then you don't ask me... quite simple really. I think that the fact that i do get asked means that i must be doing something right in the eyes of the person doing the asking.... could that be the choice of records themselves i wonder? Cos after all... surely they're what it's all about? If you hear a 'DJ' ... i use that title loosely... play something that you like... get your arse up there and ask them what it is. 1) It gives the player of the record a bit of a buzz to know that someone thinks a record they've played is good. 2) You get to actually hear clearly who it's by... what it's called... what label it's on... a rough idea of rarity/price/chances of getting hold of one... and possibly even get to look at the record itself... which is always a good thing. When someone says to me ... "oh .. why don't you talk?" i say "Why? The record says it far better than i ever could"! Those who want to use the mic... knock yourselves out. Those of us who don't... will knock ourselves out also... only quietly!!

Had this for years ... first time i heard it Bob Hinsley played it.... top tune indeed!!

I think this thread is far from a witch hunt..... people just want answers to their questions. Their questions aren't unreasonable.... nor are they unjustified. To completely ignore them is more than a little disrespectful... it proves how little Kev Roberts thinks of the people who's hard earned money he's been taking for years... and sticks two fingers up at them for supporting his events. Saying that as he is no longer a member on here and therefore isn't aware of this thread doesn't wash either..... he was logged on less than 2 days ago.

I'm not being funny Pete.... but how exactly do you know it's the best all nighter in the country..... when you don't go to any of the other allnighters in the country? I know i'll get shot down in flames from you for daring to ask you such a question... just curious that's all.....

WELL SAID QUEEN OF FOOLS!!

It's not vanished Pete... still very much there. Sure you've got better things to do than to sit and read it though... just being a helpful mod! Whitby

At the end of the day.... Kev Roberts only gets away with what we (as in 'the soul scene') let him get away with. If... after all this... he gets to carry on as before... ripping people off... bullying... threatening etc.... then shame on us.... ALL OF US!! It's about time we all stopped sitting on the fence with this.... and let him know that it's not ok to treat people the way he does. BUT.... this needs to be done in significant enough numbers to hit him the only place it will hurt... HIS POCKET. So what are the chances of that happening? ..... i know what i think... and this is one time i'm praying that i'm proved wrong.

Sorry Mark(aka Butch) ... that is funny!!

Read this post earlier... and didn't notice that! & I've got the bloody record!

I wonder what Pete Lawson would have made of it!

Come on Wally... you're dying to spill

There's only one way to hurt people like him.... in his pocket! All the Northern Soul scene is to him is a money ticket. He has exploited people on the scene again and again by taking advantage of their good nature and their willingness to give people the benefit of the doubt ... 'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.' I think it's about time we all stopped sitting on the fence and let him know it's not ok to treat people the way he does.
