Steve L

They're all brilliant.

Definitely done to stop other people getting one and its still done today although for obvious reasons not on the same scale as in days gone by

All the best Dave!

Saw Ann Peebles & Martha & Vandellas at Wigan 1978/9 cant be sure of exact year

Theres a cracking clip on Facebook/youtube of them on dinner break in the pub. Its just someone filming on their mobile and they're all relaxing and having a drink, the musics on and some of them are dancing and generally messing about. They all look like they're enjoying themselves and it comes across as really natural and realistic to me. Hope this is how it comes across in the film, without wanting to be critical - some of the clips I've seen seem a bit too formulaic like they're trying too hard? Anyway I reckon this will be the last time anything like this is attempted and is as realistic as its ever going to be so I hope its a success.

Just saw a Pointer Sisters wright sound boot go for £45 I sold one on ebay for £4 earlier this year

Top stuff pal

All this confusion

No beer = no me

But Kev you yourself said there's a sizeable proportion of the jean genie crowd (great tag BTW) at certain venues now. So if they respond to certain records which then become "top 500" records then "outsiders" are influencing things on our scene which cant be right. This trend was noticeable years ago and while i'm not against anyone coming in, it should have been a case of "this is how it is, if you want to come along fine" instead of diluting things to keep them happy!

Thankfully not where we go kev Steve in Mansfield ( 4th most backward looking soul town)

No mention of a bootlegged issue in either guide, only demos. I know originals of "Too Late" exist with scratched in matrix as well as stamped so I suspect its original

£30 my arse, theres a seller on ebay (teddy pickles) who lists these on a regular basis - 0.99p start price If you look at his history they usually sell for around £2 A prime example of John Manships world v the real world IMO There's one for sale today by the way for anyone who wants to save themselves £28

RIP Pete, a lovely bloke - gutted

Doh, dont worry mate we wont take the piss

Met Dave a few times but havent seen him for a few years, wasn't afraid to voice his opinions on here! Nice bloke and another one gone too soon - RIP

What was his username on here?

I think the same every time I go on there Steve. Its worse when there's a free listing weekend, everyone tries to offload all the crap records they've got lying around and ebay is flooded with pap!

Pete it was still done in 78/9 when I went, slightly different in style but was still a part of Wigan

Andy you've got a lot of catching up to do! You're right though, 78/79 was my time as well and generally speaking a lot of records played then don't get an airing nowadays. The reasons for this are complicated, just do a search for "overplayed oldies" and you will find loads of threads that debate this very subject on here. So much so that I'm off before I get strung up for starting it off again (contentious subject) Happy catching up

Cant you send it in code, have you got an enigma machine?

Thats a piece of cake to understand Winnie compared to some of the issues on the soul scene I find particle physics more of a challenge myself

Not rocket science Len so why is it so hard to find a venue that plays that perfect mix? One of life's great mysteries

Put me down, great idea
