OOPS! There I go again not reading things properly. The best in my meagre collection would have to be, Darrell Banks - Open The Doors/Our Love. Although saying that some of the Jackie Wilson singles are great too, Sweetest Feeling/Nothing But Blue Skies for example.

I'll add one that's as common as muck. Edwin Starr - Stop Her On Sight (SOS) b/w I Have Faith In You - Ric Tic

I was told by a mate (in a football team I played for) who runs a second hand record/CD shop, that he uses Windolene. The clear spray-on variety. I always use this and just wipe with a soft cloth.

Not yet, eh Janine?

Pete, I dunno if this will be any help, but you could try Dave Flynn's site. >> Click Here <<

Also try Stephen Bardsley's Site: Night Shift Down Under

How was Farnborough (had to work :angry: )? And how much would I have to pay for a copy of the Chuck Jackson track? (just listened to it on Soul Club)

Where or What was this event? The promoters or DJ's could then answer any points raised.

I couldn't have resisted coming across Marlena either, looking like she did!

Could you imagine a Do with the music played on computer? The So-Called DJ wouldn't get requests for music, but more requests for checking emails, last minute bids on Ebay and to post up angry rants about computers used at Do's on the Soul-Source forum!

Dave Flynn's Anorak's Corner is very good as well! :good:

Any chance of you playing that Wendy Rene track, what is it again something like B-B-Q! Pikey's Dog, stop saying WOOF!, all I keep picturing is the 2 ice-cream men from the film City Slickers!

Speaking of text speak, what does BTW mean?

Good Luck with the launch, not that you'll need it! Wish I was going, but I'm working a late shift.

You could teach me a thing or two about bidding on Ebay!

Whatever it was that you did, it works fine now. Cheers.

Mike, I tried posting a couple of events. Unfortunately after clicking on post event I got a blank page with the words: Open Referer? Any ideas?

The following is taken from Mick Fitzpatricks site at Night Owl Club, I borrowed it once before when discussing the playing of CD's (don't want to start that up again!). A guy called Steve Sales sent this paper to me. A Dr Brookes wrote it. It is in response to something Dr Brookes read in a magazine. You may or may not agree with his hypotheses but it does make interesting reading and keeps in the style of 'The Night Owl' looking at the Northern Soul scene from every angle. These are Dr Brooke's words: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I put forward the hypotheses there are four classes or types on the Northern Soul Scene, which are as follows The sub-class This class of person is not a soul fan; they became involved with the Northern soul scene during the hey-days of 1975-79. The sub-class is often referred to as " plastic-Soulies " having no real passion for the music. The plastic-Soulies are part of the soul scene because of social ties. They will have friends who belong to the other classes of persons on the scene. The majority of this sub-class left the Northern soul scene when other musical styles became popular. Class one (the soul fan) The Soul Fan is driven by the love of the "sound". The Soul Fan loves to listen to the sound irrespective of the medium. The Soul Fan does not care if the medium is original vinyl, pressing, CD, etc The soul fan will have a collection that will contain the sounds on many medium. Because it is the love of the sound that is the driving force not the love of a particular medium. The Soul Fan may sell a favourite sound that is on an original label, because it is available on CD and with the extra money he/she can purchase more CD's or pressings or originals containing other loved sounds. Therefore driven by the love of soul music, the original is sold to be replaced by more sounds. Class two This is the overlap class; Some Soul Fans are also Original Soul Record Collectors. Both the love of soul music and the love of collecting original soul records drive them. This Class of person will have more conflict in his/her purchasing i.e. to buy the three pressings or the original? This Class may replace pressings as and when they can get hold of the original records. There is a tendency though in this class to be influenced by the third class in their purchasing practices. Class Three (the original soul record collector) The Original Soul Record Collector this is the elitist class, this class do not belong to the class of Soul Fans, they are not soul fans . They are not driven by the love of soul music. But by the love of collecting (viz. soul records). This class comes over as "snobs" as regard to soul records and may well refuse to own pressings or CDs. This class once belonged to the second class but have lost sight of the nature of soul music and have been caught up by pride and vanity. They love nothing better than telling you the value of a record and how few copies exist. Contrast the Soul Fan who loves nothing better than listening to the record and loves to play them for you too. Just thought it fitted in with this topic, I'd like to thing of myself as in Class 2 The main problem for me when purchasing records is basically can I afford it? Unfortunately, if I can't afford an original and I want the tune badly enough then I'll buy it on another label (even a bootleg). I can't read all these posts and say that I don't when I do. Please before you say do overtime, sell stuff, etc., let me stop you and say you don't know my financial affairs and neither would I want you to know! Right before you all start, let me just get my flak jacket and tin helmet! :tomato2:

All this talk of... The Young Root...Michael Jackson...Children Singing ...sounds like a Court Case coming on!

No ones mentioned the following: Carl Carlton's - Nothing No Sweeter Than Love - Golden World On an album I've got says he was 12 years old when this was released. I'm sure if this is incorrect then someone on here will let me know.

Pete sent you an email (via the yahoo group email?). Interested in two of them, details in email. cheers.
