PMSL........ ......I expected better from you Pete, lol........................'.classical'..................that's class, lol!!!

Bugger off is a bit mild Pete, lol....................... :D Caz

Good point, bit I personally wouldn't do that....................same applies..........bad manners.............. Caz

OK................had this happen a few times now and it's beginning to pee me off!!!! :glare: You see a wants post...............you PM them and say you have the record in question............"make me an offer! " They then say "I have no idea how much it is worth!!!" Then you give them the price and you don't hear from them....................surely before puting up a wants post someone has a fair idea of what a record is worth?? Surely a bit of time spent doing a bit of research isn't a big deal??? Also, if it was me, I would take the time to reply, even if the record was more than I expected.............manners cost nothing in my book!!! Carol

PM'd ya..............

Fair price....................£25 to £30 IMO Caz

part from oneA Apart from one or two it just seemed to me like they were all 'clones'...............maybe they've been watching too many Northern Soul dance lesson videos................. .

If your member name on EBay is FENCELIFE.................It's there.

Totally agree............................I've still got records my Dad collected which are 50+ years old....................stilll in near mint condition and still play brilliantly. Also got records from the 50's in my own personal collection that play perfectly!!!! Long live vinyl!!!

One I would love to have seen would be Otis Redding!!!!

Such sad news...................R.I.P. Carol

In no particular order............... Help Me - Al Wilson Can't Get Enough - Johnny Sayles It's Better To Have - Don Covay That's What I Want To Know - James Carr We were Made For Each Other - Terrible Tom Let The Good Times Roll - Bunny Sigler So Is The Sun - World Column Psychedelic Soul - Saxie Russell Good Rockin' - Jnr. Walker Shake A Tail Feather - James & Bobby Purify

SO YOU WERE ASKED TO PUT A NORTHERN SOUL NIGHT ON............WHOOPEY DOOO!!!......................SO WAS THIS THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU PUT IT ON, BECAUSE SOMEONE ASKED YOU TO.................I WOULD RATHER YOU HAD SAID "I PUT THIS NIGHT ON BECAUSE I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT THE MUSIC" OR ALONG THOSE LINES!! GOD, THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE SCENE THESE DAYS..................ANY TOM, DICK OR HARRY...................OR ALKIE!!!!! MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!!!! TIME FOR BED NOW AND I'LL BE SLEEPING IN ME COAT!!!!

But does it make any difference as to who is bloody playing it.................which was my point!!!!

One thing that get's me is at these Overplayed Oldes type of nights...............why on earth do promoters pay for a DJ from out of the area, put them up in a hotel and pay them their fee, when 80/90 per cent of their punters wouldn't know the difference between Russ Winstanley and Butch, let alone give a shit about whether it's OVO, MP3 or CD, lol!!!!

I may not like overplayed oldies..............but nothing wrong with Terrible Tom.............a shit hot dance record and not too overplayed!!!! The trouble is most folk can't keep up with it!!!! I STILL CAN!!!!! (although it takes me 10 minutes to recover)!!!!

WHEN I COULDN'T AFFORD THE ONES I WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well what can I say.....................music in general makes me feel good!!! Be it stuff from my youth..............soul music..................stuff that makes me wanna get up and dance......................music that sends me to another place, let's me drift off to another world!!!! Close my eyes and I'm there!!! In a nutshell....................it doesn't matter what type of music you're into...............................if you love it enough it's the best form of medicine ever!!!! AMEN!!!

Nice one ...........'HOUSE FOR SALE' WILL DO IT EVERY TIME!!!!!

In a lot of cases a record doesn't even have to be that rare.............it just needs to be one that folk hear week in and week out at local nights. I know people that go to the same 2 or 3 local nights in a month, sit in the same seats, get up and dance once they've had a few bevvies (usually around 9.30 to 10 pm)............and yes, to the same records time after time!!!! Usually the ones that go up to the DJ and say "CAN YOU PLAY SOMETHING I KNOW!!!"

All down to individual taste in music.......................for me there was a particular night in the R&B room at Middleton. Can't single one particular DJ out as they all played the most fantastic stuff.................but what a night................those involved were Joe Dutton, Hoss and Kev Drage!!! Never danced so much in my life and nearly every tune was new to me........................together with a good crowd of like-minded folk and a great atmosphere it was unbeatable!!!

Anniversary of his death today..............1992

Me too!!!
