Has Coronavirus sounded the death bells for NS live scen
Russ Vickers replied to Hooker1951's topic in All About the SOUL
I really like the idea of the scene going back underground, through word of mouth, illegal All Nighters....but the reality is, that it will never happen....we're all too old now to risk death or a £10,000 fine, plus confiscation of equipment etc....I do hope that the scene will condense into a smaller, less nostalgia based scene, with less div events & a handful of proper All Nighters attended by folk young & old who are passionate about soul music & hearing a diverse mix of Rare Soul, including new discoveries....if there is to be one good thing that comes out of this nightmare wi- 106 comments

What a fantastic labour of love that is, thank you for taking the time & trouble to compile it. I feel very lucky to own 36 of these titles, hopefully more to add in the future too.... Russ -
BBC 1 Inside Out - Wigan Casino Segment 10 Feb 2020
Russ Vickers replied to Timillustrator's topic in All About the SOUL
It'll be another self promotional piece, full of half truths & worst, average attendance at the All Nighters 3000...load of sh*te...thing is, its national TV, it will all become NS history, we should be recording this stuff accurately, not basing it on a mans attempt to keep his pension flowing in....jeez god help us, the div forums on FB will lap this up.... -
Fantasy - I'll Call You Every Morning - RG & Curia - VG+ £1200 - Signed by Joel Ramirez Jr. The vinyl has some fine hair lines & marks, which do not affect the sound reproduction in any way, shape or form, this is a beautifully playing copy of an extremely in-demand record. Arguably the biggest record in the UK, huge dance floor reactions for the few DJ's lucky enough to own this anthem. This is an extremely reluctant sale. PM to reserve or for any Q's. No trades or offers please. No holds & payment must be received within 24 hours. PayPal F&F or B

Thanks for looking Russ :-( Images & sound files from a actual copy for sale.

Russ Vickers commented on Raremusicdirect's calendar event in Alldayers
Hi Eric, whilst I don't want to speak on Kev's (RareMusicDirect) behalf, I can assure you your opinion didn't offend him or anyone else, positive contributions & feed back is always appreciated & acted upon were appropriate by these guys. Happy to report that the event, as hoped, spoke for itself, numbers were healthy, the DJ's & music policy worked & was appreciated, judging by dance floor reaction & discussions in dark corners about lesser knowns & secret sounds. The craic was great too, lots of familiar faces from the scene, along with others & was pl -

Russ Vickers commented on Raremusicdirect's calendar event in Alldayers
I think that the event will speak for itself on Saturday. The promoters have definitely put together an event worthy of your attendance & a lot of thought, time, money & passion have gone into putting this event together for your enjoyment. I know some of the DJ's booked to entertain you personally & I have the utmost respect for them, they have the sounds, integrity & the professionalism to keep the dance floor moving & the record hounds guessing & entertained. I am personally really looking forward to the DJ's that I have not heard before, they all have their own -

Russ Vickers replied to Colouredman's topic in All About the SOUL
Thank you so much for all the research you have done Tim, its very much appreciated & thank you for sharing it all with us, there should be a proper digital archive some where, where all of this information & photographs can be stored & shared for research & reference. Thank you & look forward to the further instalments, as a slight aside, I have the booklet that you produced about Robbie Lawson, would it be worth posting that up as well, if it hasn't already been digitally re produced already ? Kind regards Russ -
