HI I HAVE JUST GOT MY INTERNET BACK ON (DID NOT PAY BILL) AND JUST READ THIS, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THE FEELING OF SHOCK AND SAYING F**K NO! OUT LOUD AT 3.30 IN THE AM, NEIL IS OK I TAKE IT, I SPEAK TO HIM EVERY 10 DAYS, MY GOD,NO ONE CAN POP THERE CLOG'S WHEN I HAVE NO INTER NET CONNECTS OK! BLESS DAVE KIL

HI IAN AND EVERYBODY, THE NAME FOR THAT FEELING (EVERY THING HAS A NAME) IS A QUANTUM FEELING, AND IS JUST A WE INSIGHT INTO THE 4th DIMENSION, WHICH IS WHAT QUANTUM PHYSICS IS ALL ABOUT, THE RECORD MOMENT PROBABLY GAVE YOU A JOYOUS PLEASURE FEELING, AS A SPECIES THE MODERN DAY HUMAN, HAS DEPRIVED US OUR NATURAL SENSES THAT WE POSSES AS HUNTER GATHERERS AND THE SIGNS AND SIGNALS THAT WE HAD THEN HAVE BEEN LOST IN TIME. HOWEVER WE STILL HAVE THEM DEEP IN OUR PSYCHE, TO MAKE MY POINT, MODERN SOCIETY WANTS YOU TO FEEL SAD AT LEAST 95% OF THE DAY, THE PURPOSE IS THEY CAN MANUFACTURE AND MANIPULATE TO CONFORM, THIS IS BECAUSE WE NEED LAW AND ORDER AS A WAY TO CONTROL ANARCHY, THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT HAVE ON MASS TAKEN CHARGE OF THERE COUNTRY, WHICH I AM PLEASED ABOUT, BUT MY INSTINCTS TELL ME THAT IT WILL BENEFIT THE NEXT GENERATION AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF A TRUE DEMOCRACY IS FAR AWAY, THE FEELINGS OF FEAR COME INTO PLAY, FEAR FEELINGS ARE CHEAP AND JOYA'S FEELING COST 3 TIMES MORE, THIS IS THE WAY GOVERNMENT WANTS IT, THIS IS THE CAPITALIST RULE. YOUR QUANTUM MOMENT IS WORTH 10 X THE VALUE OF THE AVERAGE HAPPY FEELING, SO MASTURBATION MAY MAKE US HAPPY BUT IT'S NOT QUANTUM, BUT WITNESSING SOMETHING COMMON AND FAMILIAR BUT UNEXPECTED OR A SHOCK AS IT'S WHAT WHY SITUATION THAT BRINGS AN INTENSE FEELING THAT CAN ONLY BE EXPLAINED THROUGH A QUANTUM FEELING, THE FEAR OF DEATH IS ANOTHER QUANTUM FEELING, BUT THAT BRINGS UP PARENTAL BELIEFS, WHICH ARE MADE FROM TRUTHS AND LIES,"GOD IS DEAD" FACT, READ ABOUT QUANTUM THEORIES, AS LIKE ME YOU WILL BECOME EDUCATED DAVE

HI ALL ... CROSSOVER WELL THERE ARE SEVERAL VERSIONS OF THIS TERM THAT CAN BE APPLIED, BUT I THINK MINE IS THE MOST MEANINGFUL, CROSS SOEVER SOUL WAS A NAME USED BUY SOME PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO HAVE LOTS OF CHEAP DISCO RECORDS AND TRY TO BECOME A DJ WITH THEM, THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS IAN LAVINIE COLIN CURTIS SOUL SAM KEB DARGE AND SO ON WHO ENJOYED THIS TYPE OF SOUND, IT WAS AIMED AT PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO HAVE A RARE 60S NORTHERN SOUL COLLECTION BUT SIMPLY COULD NOT AFFORD 10 RARE NORTHERN RECORDS WHEN THEY COULD USE HALF OF THE MONEY TO BUY 1000 RUN OF THE MIL SOUL RECORDS FROM THE LATE 50S AND 70S , SO IT IS FOR HAT REASON ALONE IT IS CALLED CROSSOVER, ANOTHER POINT TO CONSIDER IS, WOULD YOU CLASS GREG PERRY THE CARSTAIS MONTCLAIR'S WELL YOU GOT IT AS NORTHERN OR CROSSOVER, OF COARSE IT'S NORTHERN, CROSSOVER IS FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY RARE RECORDS AS ALWAYS DAVE

Hi Mate have you got what you requested? if you need more stuff I have every Dave Godin column, met him a few times, However I would suggest he should speak to Dave Rimmer from Dudley not only for his personal knowledge but on the other subjects also, and plus his academic attributes to the written word, thats assuming he is not to busy? you can contact Dave through Soul Source DAVE K

Hi Ady If you need a copy I will be with Mick Smith tomorrow at WOLVES RECORD FAIR 9 till 4, and I can give him a copy of the UK ISSUE, not the DEMO as they are quite rare these days and my copy is in my collection, let me no if you have been sorted if possible by 10 am, AS ALWAYS DAVE

:hatsoff2:Hi All ...Well here we go again, and like Mark has already stated and I am on record stating my hatred for this type of activity, yes I have nicked a few records in my life out of junk shops and of Hippy types, and it was a common event in the early 70s, I was quite often offed a handful of records in exchange for dubes or a wrap of speed (in fact my 1st northern soul collection was obtained with money i made from dealing speed) when i think of the old days it is amazing what a wrap of sulfate could buy at 3.30am, However I have also had my box nicked and when this happens, in my case my mates just turned a blind eye to the theft??? you would be surprised if you new who witnessed the theft, OK that was a long time ago, and we have all grown up since then, To hear that in 2011 a box has gone really means a big theft, and should be treated as such, if the old bill don't help, you are left with 2 choices 1, let the thieve get away with it, 2, Name & Shame the person and contact people like me to retrieve them for you, a quick visit thats all that needed to get a result, AS ALWAYS DAVE

HI ALL...JUST A BIT MORE INFO ON THE PRESSINGS OF THIS CLASSIC, I WOULD GO ON RECORD THAT BOTH VOCAL & INSTRUMENTAL SIDES OF THIS CLASSIC, AT THE TIME OF PLAY, MADE IT A TOP DANCER AT WIGAN, AND LES WE FORGET, 80% OF PEOPLE ON THE SCENE IN THE MID 70s WENT TO WIGAN TO DANCE AND HAVE THE BEST SATURDAY NIGHT OUT IN THE COUNTRY, MAKING A RECORD LIKE CONNIE CLARK A CERTAIN WINNER AND TOP SELLER ON RE-PRES, AND I WOULD GUESS ON SOUL SOURCE WE HAVE ALL HAD A PRESSING OF THIS RECORD AT SOME TIME, IT WAS FIRST PRESSED ON A BLACK LABEL BY SIMON, AND THEN THERE WERE FOLLOW UP PRESSINGS AND EVEN A YELLOW LOOK ALIKE COUNTERFEIT COPY, BUT MY COPY IN MY COLLECTION OF CLASSICS, IS THE ONE IN THE PHOTO, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS PRESSED UP IN 1977, HOWEVER HAS ANY ONE GOT A LIST OF THE ORDER THEY COME OUT, I WOULD SPECULATE THAT MY COPY IS THE RAREST, BUT NOT SURE AND MANY PEOPLE MIGHT SAY THE YELLOW COPY IS THE ONE TO OWN IF YOU WANT IT IN A DJ BOX, ??? THEN I WOULD SAY WE DINT PLAY BOOTLEGS. (old school thinking) DAVE

HI ALL...I WAS GONNA SAY THAT. WHAT HAS BEEN SAID! SOUNDS 100% GENUINE, I THOIGHT IT WAS WORTH £300, BUT THATS ME? DAVE

Hi Kev my old mate Glen Bellamy, the man who DJ ed at all the venues used to have a few copes in stock, I had 1 copy of him and got it signed for Jim Silles in London a couple of years ago, as I have said I ain't seen glen for over a yea? But if any one knows where he is and gets a copy I Will pay for it mate if not Jim might not want his one, if any one could help well appreciated DAVE

Hi All....2 things for me to correct, it was a memorial night of corse, not a fund raising night reguarding his hospital bills, So did we ever do such an event, on the scene??/ or did I take some of that acid that i use to sell??? 2. that would mean that it was the record by the Vontastics, as iI dont remember the Gene Mc Danials ever being play prior 1977?? I was right about him dieing on my birthday 21/1/ old age is a comin :ph34r:DAVE

HI MAT ,, I HAVE AN ORIGANAL CAMOE PARKWAY UK PYE DEMO, & A COPY OF THE TYMES - HERE SHE COMES BOTH VERY RARE IF INTERSTED, ANYONE! DAVE

HI ALL, THE JACKIE WILSON NGHTER AT WIGAN, WAS A GREAT ALLNIGHTER, I THINK EVERY ONE WAS IN THERE OWN WAY, FELT GOOD ABOUT RAISING THE MONEY FOR HIS HOSPITAL BILLS, I AM SURE BUT MAYBE WRONG! THAT THE BAR AREA HAD THE TOP BOYS FROM THE SOUTH SELLING THERE WARES, MYSELF , MICK SMITH ADY CROSEDALE AND PETE WIDAON, IT WAS EITHER OR BOTH OF THESE, THE NIGHT BIG TIM ASHABENDI BOUGHT THE CLASSIC VONTASTICS - LADY LOVE GOREN & WHITE STATESIDE DEMO OF ME, I GOT A COPY OF GENE McDaniel's WALK WITH A WINNER UK LIBERTY FOR £7, HE GOT 5 COPAYS FROM HIS SECRET SHOP, AND SOLD ADY AND MICK 1 EACH £15 MY COPY WAS MINT WITH A CHIP OUT OF IT, AND I STILL GOT IT, IT'S SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT WHEN I THINK OF IT I PERSONALLY NEVER HAD A BAD ALLNIGHTER AT WIGAN SOME HOW ALWAYS COME AWAY ON TOP. THE DATE JACKIE WILSON DIED WAS JAN 21ST 78?? IF SO IT WAS ON MY BIRTHDAY, AND WHATS THE STORY AS WHY BRUNSWICK DID NOT PAY? AND HOW MUCH WAS RAISED ON THE NIGHT/? DAVE (I HAVE HIS AUTOGRAPH ON ME WALL...IT HIDES A.....) KIL
