I remember Rob Smith (Notts) used to play it...I love it, not sure why though!!! I'm sure it used to go for over £300.00 years ago? Len.

Doh! - Did I forget to put em back? - Sorry. Yes, I do speed it a bit on my midtempo's sometimes Your giving me DJ secrets away Len.

'holding folding'...?!!! - Blimey - That's a car dealers quote if ever I heard one!!! Len.

Sorry Steve, couldn't possibly part with Tempests. I picked it up at The Fleet in Peterborough in the 80's, so lots of memories attached to it. I knew it would sound great at The Pembo, so got Roger to play it Saturday. I'll make sure I bring it along to the next one. Len.

Hi Matt, Pretty sure it's on Arctic. I paid £40.00 for my copy, but that was a few years back. At a guess I would say £100.00 - £150.00? ...But you never know nowadays! Good luck hunting mate! Len.

I paid £50.00 for it in the late 80's and it stayed at that price for years! - I always wondered why. So going by todays mad prices, it's probably ok. At least it is a great soul LP, not as mad as some records that have been bought in the past. Going by sound alone - Well worth the money. Len.

next thing people will be playing duffy just coz keb darge and liam are dancing on the video. tel boy

Never rated it myself either - I suppose it's one of the many 'Records to have'. Gawd knows why. Len. THIS POST HAS BEEN, CHECKED, DOUBLE CHECKED AND TREBLE CHECKED...IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY OFFENDED BY IT...F*CK OFF! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU!!! (WITHOUT PREJUDICE)

DOH! - It's gone, I wonder if it's caught on already?! - Soon it may be worth 1 million pounds! Len. THIS POST HAS BEEN, CHECKED, DOUBLE CHECKED AND TREBLE CHECKED...IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY OFFENDED BY IT...F*CK OFF! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU!!! (WITHOUT PREJUDICE)

Cheers mate, I'll start 'The Hunt' now! - Events such as you described "Playing sets featuring records that have not featured too heavily at other venues' - Are what I originally loved the soul scene for.

[ Thanks to all that made it to Creative Soul 2 for another great night of quality soul. Great sets from our guest DJs Kitch and Bob Cosby, who played to a very appreciative crowd and dance floor.If you were there, here's a reminder of the great music played....if you missed it, check the audio sample for a some great reasons to get April 19th in your diary, when our guests are Arthur Fenn and Nidge Mayfield for more great quality, dance floor soul.

Me too - And they are also choones to dance too! - I think Midtempo compliments other styles and visa versa. In other words different styles in a night makes the other sound that much better. Len. ***'SILKS' @ WELLINGBOROUGH MARCH 22ND***

All depends what a promoter is doing it for. I used to book The Embankment Club's DJ's purely because I alone rated them. Then adding a few to make sure it wasn't too 'self indulgent' so as not to have low numbers. But it was run as I wanted a soul night to be....Never made a lot of cash though! lol Len.

Hi mate, Always best not to write on soul-source 'P*ssed' or 'After a nighter'!!! - Many have regretted it Still I think you did fine! - Anyway, it seems like you want to try and please everyone at this nighter. It ain't gonna happen mate. Best to pick what 'section' of soul you like and just please people that are of the same taste. All the best, Len. ps - Another alnighter? - Not sure if that's what the scene needs right now....Another weekender? - Now your talking! lol

Yes! - Imagine that - It would be really healthy. People may even start enjoying themselves again, instead of analysing everything far too much! Len. ps - A bit like we are now... (Again! lol)

Now your fave subject Dave.The closure of the Union.( not the Trent club Dave). As you rightly say ,best venue in the area.

I wish it were true about 'quality will shine through'...But the really sad thing is, the scene is so splintered / localised that quality may 'not' shine through (These are just the events that are suffering)... See you all in ten years time! Len.

Got the video and was at the said party. I'll dig it out and see if I can suss it for you. Get back to ya. Len.

'Double good enough for me! - If anyone 'Diss's' me man for playing it now, I can set the dogs on them without feeling guilty... If I'm on again at the 100 Club, I'd love to go on after Butch, stick a kent album on and go and dance...Just to see the record bar 'Implode'!!! Len.

Slightly related topic I reckon it'd be nice to see say Kent give out the odd exclusive to some 4th division dj's like Ernie or Mischief on here. They'd be chuffed to bits, playlists in local clubs would get a shot in the arm, and as someone pointed out it takes an age nowadays to break a record anyway so local exposure is as good as any. ROD

Right, thanks Ken and Ian, That's good enough for me. I'll look forward to giving it some stick! - It can be confusing sometimes and I don't wanna break them there rules! lol - Thought I may have needed a certificate or something off the Dj who played it first that's all! Len. Silks @ Wellingborough this Sat... etc...etc...

Slightly off thread (But not too much) Seems like the right people are reading to ask - I want to play Chuck Carter - He's A Lover - It's unreleased and only on a Kent LP. Am I allowed to get an acetate cut and play it? Or should I play it off Kent? Or should I not play it at all and only hear it if say Guy Hennigan (Who I understand broke it) Or Ady C plays it? - It would actually be a new sound to some people in this area. Please advice. Ta, Len. 'SILKS' @ Wellinhborough this Sat...
