Thing is, it could be so different than the current sad state of Affairs; If there was just a couple of established venues that genuinely embraced the breadth of progressive side of the music. If think it would soon build a real culture and attitude that would go towards giving the scene some dignity back. Trouble is the upfront 60's crowd in the main now come from a mod/ scooter background and frequently despise anything made after 1969. The modern, soulful House lot, can't stand r and b that sounds like rock and roll. I could go on with further examples. There just doesn't seem many punters ready to tolerate other attitudes and open there ears to what's out there. It's a real dam shame. I blame the internet and baggy trousers.

Thanks, that's really insightful. Much abliged.n

Betty is good but Dean is awesome. Not in the same league, imho. Seen Betty come up for sale frequently at £350 in the past, can't sat the same about DC.

Lives in Portugal now i'm informed

He was a European kick boxing champ, wasn't he? Along with Duncan pollet,who could also move a bit.

Personally I'd prefer to see to some young people doing there own thing. Following a tradition of youth culture.

Very well articulated Paul. It's not just the contemporary media to blame either, the media incompetence is historical.

Look for the paperclip pal, that will open your phone image files. As in the reply box below, click on the selected photos and upload. Hope w that helps.

It was played just about everywhere in the 80' s

Missed this, some real quality to look forward to.

Lacquers? Are they the same thing as an acetate?

Maybe It's like watching car crashes, to quote Mr Lennon: ' I just had to laugh, I saw the photograph. '😏

The thing that hit me about the scene at 18, my first nighter, was just how cool everyone was. even guys, and especially girls, that were decades older than me. Don't see that much anymore, just saying. 😁😉.

There tunes I paid, less than 40 for in the late 80"s. That were frequently for sale at nighters. Frankie Beverly, Larry aikins and valentinos. Rare?🤔

Good possibility the death of prince might have out her out of action for a while at least

I was fortunate enough to get ' beautiful ones', prince book for Xmas. Can't believe I didn't know this voice before. One of the greatest of our time IMHO. Please enlighten me if there's any fans out there, cheers, geese

I'd say that would probably disqualify it really. It may be literally the first, but not technically. There is a point to pressing a 12 inch single, to enhance sound quality.

Fair point of view, it does beg the question, why the interest in the tread then? 🤔😁

A great informative read, be interesting to see a UK guide.

Think you hit the mail on the head here. It's the lack of central venues that causes the problem of tagging a record to a dj. There is just no cohesion anywhere on whats left of the scene. It just seems like lots of factions all pulling in different directions.

Fantastic and very Worthy idea. Hope it does really well.

Mace did a nice run of NS themed ones a while back. Might be worth contacting.

The jack Ashford album should be of interest. The freemont street track is wonderful. Would love a copy of that.
