Well, there would be. As has previously been stated IL was feeding Les Cokell tunes for quite a while. Love him or hate him, he probably had the greatest influence in the direction " Rare Soul " took to become "Northern Soul" in the 70 to 74 period. ATB Tony

There is obviously a market. Lookout for a new Soul night playing all the classics coming to a WMC near you soon ATB Tony

Oh Rod, Far too cynical. Perhaps they have had a Damascus moment are are selling to fund the purchase of Originals. ATB Tony

I thought the question was about tunes that went big very quickly, then disappeared just as quick... Maybe I'm wrong too Tony

T.L.C by PJ went on a quick curve dinnit?? Tony

Did he not also do a stint as Robert Kennedys bodyguard.. Or is that Urban Myth ?? Tony

Surely Sevens or Stardust aint that hard to spell?? What's a Cover Up ?? Butch Who ??? T

There is another calculation possible. Take away the ones that put the playlists up-with label info- from those that don't == Salmon's doing nowt- I'll leave it to him Tony

Both the same Stable of labels though aren't they ?? tony

That Silky Hargraves must have been a good seller, almost every copy I've seen( inc. mine) is battered... Fantastic tune but. Tony

Quick reminder, Next one a big'un Tony

That's you and me both (plus another coupla thousand) then Tony

Takes me a long time to be all over anything.. Any way, it's from £2.50 to 3 quid in my case Tony

No Deal T

Not bad, except, I can't get that bloody pop song outta me head.... Tony

Well I've got a calculator, subtract the ones that do from the ones that don't reply-simples BTW Heywood Civic Soul = OVO. Tony

Should I lower the parapet ?? Not many heads raised above it. Or perhaps wait til next weekend ..?? T

Which is exactly the reason there were 92 do's this weekend. I refuse to believe that they were all playing originals. The fact that any one can buy virtually any record and play it out is what is gonna kill this scene. I am fed up to the back teeth of wannabe Dancefloor Diva's telling me that they can't afford to buy the originals. Tough Sh*t-neither can I, but i can afford to buy some good ORIGINALS. Like I've said before if you run a night and you want a Classic oldies night, employ the DJ's that have got 'em!!! there's plenty out there. The Music used to special, you had to travel to hear it. Now, sadly, it's just another commodity.And ther is little or no reason to get off yer Sofa and track it down if any fecker can play it for you at the end of the Street. If you get it, you get it. If you don't....... ATB Tony

Right, can read it now T

Right then, that's it, the weekend's (nearly ) over. Anybody honest enough to tell us how they did ?? Tony

Me, Ste, Pat and the barstaff enjoyed 'em mate Just messed me box up for Pauls tonight I ithink I played Betty Everett The Lovables The Thrills The Vipers Earl Wright Dramatics Dynamites and a couple more ATB Tony

Fair enough, I was just answering the bit asking was I sure ATB Tony

Absolutely, positively sure. To Whit Heywood Bradford EBUC Burscough B. L. are three that spring immediately to mind.. Apologies to any I've missed, but these are probably the ones I go to on a regular basis, for reasonds that should be obvious. Regards Tony

No it isn't. All Soul Nights are not the same, there are plenty-Up here any way, that have OVO policies. ATB Tony
