What time is it on? For or against, you have to watch/listen to these things

Can you buy it online?

What about people who list records without giving a grade? Seen it a few times

Cleethorpes weren't running all nighters in 78/79 were they?

The light you look at the record in is critical IMO, the room where I keep my records has a 3x50w halogen light fitting and under that you see every possible mark. However in the other rooms where there's ordinary light bulbs the record can look completely different, also in bright daylight its different again. Minefield really, as someone who only buys M- whenever possible I'm finding my range of sellers shrinking through experience. I've had (supposedly) M- records that looked like someone had skated over them

Yeah I've been listening to the podcast Chalky.This is one of those records that float around in your head for a bit when you first hear it then one day - bang! It hits you how good it is. What a record!! Any more comments people? Is it not that widely known? Who else has played it out ( I know Karl Heard has)?

Heard this over recent times out and about but was curious about the background on it. Unissued I believe so what are the ones being played? Where, when, who etc any info appreciated

Thanks Ste

Spot on mate

Yes mate, time to start the movement Year zero starts on Jan 1st

A proper venue for me is one that keeps with the original ethos of the scene ie underground exclusivity, a rare soul scene NOT watering the whole thing down to the lowest common denominator to attract as many outsiders in as possible. Anything else is just handbags. Beam me up Scotty

Prepare to be totally confused Here's my opinion - crossover is late 60s/ early 70s that cant be easily classed as either. The Futures is just out and out 70s disco isn't it? Loads of threads on this subject before, just searching for them would be easier

Absolutely spot on, but to great soul records at proper venues with the right ethos

Are there any clips of this anywhere? I havent heard it yet

Absolutely nothing should preclude anyone. BUT what shouldn't happen is the ethos of the scene being diluted to accommodate anyone and everyone. Here's the door, come on in if you like and enjoy yourself - but this is how it is.

Like chalk and cheese though, Tamboo is the one Andy

Make every attempt not to see it mate, its not worth the trauma

They can go and have fun at their local karaoke night or wherever they want to but this at a "northern" event? This is the very antithesis of what the scene is about. As mentioned previously can you remember the cool underground scene that we all got into? The one that divs knew nothing about? Another example of the dilution of things to the lowest common denominator to attract the maximum numbers and therefore maximum profit. PS I used to think Richard Searling was god

There is no God!

Philistines

They don't, unless people pay it - I wouldnt

Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about , its nearly 20 years since I got fed up with hearing the same oldies everywhere and started actively seeking out records that I didnt know. First through getting tapes and later cd's off people and later when the internet came along sites such a soulclub. After all this time I still hear new records virtually every week and the thrill is still there. Looking forward to old age and alzheimers so I can hear the Salvadors and the Tomangos for the first time again

An issue is fine but I agree with Pikey, £25 is too much to pay for this. Mick start at the low end and see how you go, there are some ridiculous prices about that you dont always need to pay for records. I reckon ebay is the best place to start for a beginner, with the most reasonable prices, just make sure you check sellers feedback and you shouldnt have too many problems. Best to avoid the major dealers at first as well until you gain some experience as their prices are usually on another planet to us mere mortals. Plenty of decent people on here to ask for advice as well who will share their experience with you, dont be afraid to ask- such as Pete S and others who have vast knowledge and dont like tpo see people ripped off
