Strange World Of Northern Soul
The infamous record dealer Rob the Stick, going thru the sex change..... Looked like one of the characters from the Les Dawson show. He used to walk everywhere with a stick...... but used to leave it lying around when he was sat with his records.... one of my mates used to take it when he wasnt looking, remove the rubber end and saw a few millimeteres of... then replace the end.... The shortening of the stick was only gradual only a month to month basis, but after about 6 months the stick was about 6" shorter.... Took him/her quite a while to catch on.... WOOF!

Recent auction ending prices
I bid on a record on there and won it for what I thought was the 'right' price, so i'd say they probably do exist..... And you can probably bet they are the same ones who say they picked the record up for a couple of $s in a detroit basement, just to look like they are a top digger... WOOF!

The New Price Guide - Oh Dear
Surely the issue is more indemand, as it has 'Fight Fire With Fire' on, whereas the demo is a double 'A'.... Still reckon the issue isnt worth more than a ton though (If pushed....) WOOF!

Is R&b Dead?
True... but ultimately the DJ is to blame if the music played is crap.... (Requests aside that is...... but if you think its crap it shouldnt be in your playbox whether its popular or not..... you should believe in what youre playing....) WOOF!

Is R&b Dead?
Is R&B dead..... personally don't think so.... if it was would Mr Ovenchip split his site/listings to give it it's own section? Unfortunately some DJs take the term R&B in the loosest sense and play some right old drivel.... This in turn encourages the 'I hate R&B' crowd to slag off everything that falls under the r&b banner. It's usually this crowd that swears that they hate R&B, and that it's all Rock and Roll/Country and Western, that are the first to run for the dancefloor when a DJ plays any of the following R&B tunes... Don Gardner - My Baby Likes To Boogaloo Jimmy Robins - I Cant' Please You Mickie Champion - What Good Am I Five Royales - Catch That Teardrop Joe Tex - I Wanna Be Free Bud Harper - Wherever You Were Etta James - Seven Day Fool Betti Lou & Bobby Adams - Dr Truelove Buddy Ace - True Love Money Cant Buy Larry Davis - I've Been Hurt Too Many Times All popular tracks, all R&B. It all depends on the DJ in the long run... I think sometimes it's down to them trying so hard to find new tracks/obscurities, that the lesser quality stuff slips through. The records quoted above (Larry Trider, Dean Barlow and Barbara Redd) arn't R&B tracks inmho.... they are pop at worst, rock and roll at best (the flip of Barbara Redd is the better track imo, but it is too rock and roll).... But then i'm gonna defend it as I play and promote it.... If anyone wants a list of quality playable Northern style R&B, let me know and I'll rattle one off. WOOF!
