  1. So it increased in value by 6 times in a year. If that had continued it would now be worth £622,080.00 this year.
  2. If you come to The Dudley Club on the 8th April (and hopefully you will because I remember you promising to play some Ska in the second room), I'll play it at volume especially for you mate
  3. No, no, the fiver is for plugging Shute's DJing, I want a whole lot more than that for DJing myself
  4. No, sorry, I'm going to the Stafford Rangers Soul night where I'll be DJing, as will Shute when he arrives after DJing at The Big Lock. Can I have my fiver now Shute ?
  5. You're missing something, and I'm not one of the promoters by the way, just one of the DJs The venue dictates the nights they have available. This particular venue has been planned for a long time, and was used a several months ago, but had to close at midnight. The reason for the long planning is that the change in licencing laws means that they can now run until 2 am, which makes it well worth the while for any one who has travelled a fair distance. The other big advantage of the place is that it could have been designed for a Soul night, having a big stage, wooden dancefloor and two rooms. And if you lived in the Midlands you'd be aware there aren't ANY free weeks in the month, whenever this night was put on it would clash with something else within a ten mile radius.
  6. John Harvey was Kojak wasn't he ? Blue Max from Wolverhampton bought his collection when he sold up.
  7. Hiya Dave, perhaps I'm thick, but what the hell is a MAW 12 ?
  8. Of course, counterfeit sauce can contain all sorts of horrible toxins, haven't you been watching the news recently.
  9. As soon as I pressed "Submit Post" I knew you were going to ask me that, and I've spent all day looking for it....... Errr, it has a dark blue cover !!
  10. Ask yourself a question, and this doesn't apply specifically to the Plinston or any other two room event, but... How would the punters in the modern room react if I went in and played a Sixties set ? Probably very, very upset to say the least, so why should anyone have to defend themselves for saying Northern rooms shouldn't play modern. Modern rooms don't play Noerthern. No grey area about music policy at all when you look at it from that angle, of course you still have to decide what is northern and what is modern................but the DJ should be able to decide that for themselves if people aren't dancing
  11. Didn't know it was missing. I've had one ages. Have you got the other Kent cassette ?

    I think you'll end up very lonely with that sort of attitude John. It's the people that come out monthly that make the majority of events viable.
  13. It's called '20 Great Unknown Soul Classics of the '60s and '70s' and the label is Cascade, cat No. DROP 1013, which is a subsiduary of Ace. the track you're talking about is actually Cressa Watson, not Caressa. Price wise these days, no idea, rarity ? Probably quite rare because it's unlikely that there would have been a large run pressed. Copies did appear when Butch startd playing the other version, but I've not seen this for sale for a while

    That is about the most sensible thing I've ever heard you say Roger, but you're right. There are very few people who can cross the whole spectrum and get it right. Having said that, when you get a DJ who does get it right, and can play from all eras, I can appreciate what a good set they play. Three guys who spring to mind are Gavin Page, Chris Anderton and Russ Vickers. All of whom can DJ across the eras, and do it well enough for me to enjoy what they play.

    Ace Spectrum and Futures were both played, but they weren't the ones I was particularly unhappy with. The Barry White disco record was one that springs to mind I know I'm classed as a Sixties dinosaur, but I still think Northern Soul is Sixties based. This night wasn't Sixties based. If it has been advertised as across the board, no problem. It wasn't though, it was advertised as Northern Soul in one room, and Modern in the other. It was also clear that the DJs couldn't keep people on the dancefloor because the music was all over the place. yeah the Ace Spectrum and Futures got them up, and then the floor would clear because it was a record very few people in the room knew. it's no good asking me what they were though because I couldn't tell you. But that dancefloor had people up and down on it faster than a whore's knickers on a busy Friday night. Three hours into the night, and there is nobody dancing ? There's no excuse for that ! As it took us two and half hours travelling to get there and back, and cost £24 for the four of us to get in, I was disappointed to say the least. If I'd wanted disco, and failed disco records I could have gone into the local 'Lemon Tree' '70s night !

    Who said anything about exclusively Sixties ? But certainly I would expect a Northern Soul room, when there was a seperate modern room, to be playing more than 40% Sixties.

    A Barry White Seventies track

    It's not often I criticise venues, or DJs, but I have to say Desborough risked a prosecution under the Trades Description Act last night. I might not be able to give the ultimate definition of what constitutes a Northern Soul Record, but I know what isn't one. Northern Soul it was not !!! I have every respect for the DJs involved, when they are in Modern rooms, but why play at least 70% non Sixties in the main room when there was a seperate Modern room. We left at 11.30. And before someone says why didn't you approach the promoter, or the DJs, I did !
  19. Last chance on these before they go on Ebay
  20. Hmmmm....Cardiff....Soul (Crew)....it's obviously a programme about football hooligans then isn't it !

  22. Correct on both counts
