Ken, to quote the Scottish vernacular, I disnae ken?

Integration is the key, totally agree. Setting up a great lesser known with something more familiar often works but so can contrasting the tempo and atmosphere to create a reaction in the room.

Sorry I disagree, but then I'm not sure where these nighter tunes can actually get played to a credible audience nowadays.

This is what I was really driving at with the 'when did it become about rarity?' Thread, there was shit loads of great cheap records played at all the great venues of the 70's, they don't get played now! Playlists are the scourge of the scene, can't remember the last time I read one and it wasn't full of the same old, tired rarities. These lists sat nothing about the imagination of the DJs other than how much they've spent and how big there ego's are. The big problem with the upfront scene has become exactly the same, Willie Dale is the new John and the weirdest.

German guy, ace documentary, next level digging.

Great that

It's half of the topic😂. I'd love to hear about all the records you don't like, go on a dare you!

Where was it used, chalky?

Yes far be it from me to critique calender and tea towel sellers from exploiting the scene, it's totally different from the BBC, or some bloke who never went to Wigan playing cd's at the dog and duck. These people obviously need to be respected, after all nobody else was willing to be fed the best imports coming into the country at the time.

It's unusual these days to find a big system that copes with vinyl so we'll. It is pretty impressive, probably the best I've heard at any current venue.

Even if that's by the crass exploitation of the scene?

How very dare I! No room for cynicism here.

I wasn't around in the 70's but I find the bootleg factor indicates a tunes popularity.

I recommend these 😁 https://www.hanacartridges.com/products/hana-umami-red

I do remember a superior system at Keele

Can't recall the quality of sound reproduction being discussed on here. Was it loud at Wigan? Good acoustics, decent system? How about the wheel, cats or torch? I know it's all relative to the era. but it's not something that folk talk about that much, unless it fails, every promotors nightmare, I can speak out of experience 🫣

He's also made a decent living from it. You might say he had a vested interest🤔

Can't agree with you there. I'd love a copy, but different tastes are crucial Played world column out to a good response, it's not that fast, I'm guessing around 115-120 bpm

I'll have this from my early days on the scene And this I'm struggling to think of any proper crap that was played in the late 80's🤔

How does a journalist come up with this crap and not ask, couldn't I talk to someone who was actually at Wigan? and if this is about now why don't we get someone into the scene now? And we could all be slagging off RS and one of those self proclaimed yoof leaders of the scene instead😂

I think Stef orlinski, of Biddulph had MB's copy, not sure who he sold it on to.

I can't justify it but always had a weakness for BA. GJC, just played it again, and from those first horns, I think, muck fe! Two and a half minutes of this!
