thirst for more, no class djs and other stuff etc
This is my last word on this as its not my problem, but do you think said DJ was showing Baz & Lenny respect with those remarks on the Mike, regardless of whether the guy was being personal or referring to the music these two played as a whole, my point is not what was played but the fact that someone was so rude as to say that over the mike. What a chopper, anyway shouldnt be allowed anywhere near the decks unless he's playing off the original format of release................cat ,pidgeons . Russ

Personally feel that if someone said what they said on the mike, they deserve what they get, Im all for living & let live, but if Gibby hadnt of made the comment the post would never have been made............personally whilst I enjoy all aspects of the music on the scene, I do get a tad peeved at the sanctimonious attitude of some oldies only fans who are of the opinion that the only real NS records are the ones that have been thrashed to death....................maybe Giblet or who ever he is should keep his gob shut on the Mike & let the dancefloor speak for itself ???.

Spot on bird . Russ- Modern Soul Interest
Who cares if its sixties or released earlier today, its about that certain x factor that makes the soul record appeal to the NS dancefloor, while ever soul records are being made & records discovered from across the decades, whether released or not there will be a scene. Also IMHO seventies records have been played on the scene since the 70's, like wise with eighties, nineties & noughties, the main percentage has always been sixties, but records from all decades have always been played, so not so sure that the topic is that relevant really. Long live open minds & full dancefloors . Russ- What Percentage Of The Scene Is Gay?
As a serving member of the Royal Navy I would just like to add that women are ok if you cant get the real thing !!! gotta dash its my turn in the barrel . Do you not also think there may be an element with women/girls who are not completely on the soul scene that cos we really arnt interested that much in chicks when we're talking/dancing to soul music they get the hump, especially if they are used to getting pestered up down the local trapping joint. Nothing like watching attractive girls/women dance but paranoia & small penis syndrome as well as the tendancy not to stop talking bollox once started are not traits non soul women find attractive in their men. BTW what percentage of women on the soul scene are lesbians ??? I dont mean those ones in comfortable shoes I mean those real ones that you see in the magazines . Russ- John Manship Records

Blackpool Mecca mate, with Ian Levine etc, etc............massive influence on the scene even as a Soul Nght................just wondered if things would have turned out differently if the Mecca had been a Nighter. Russ- Quick Change Artist
Would it have effected the scene in any way if the Highland Room had been an All Nighter ???. Discuss: Russ- Deleted 45's As 'ballast' For Ships
I have heard the ballast story many times on the South Coast in connection with Southampton Docks, certainly would explain the plethora of US imports there were knocking around the South Coast in all the second hand record stores etc.........may also explain why the South Coast area is one of those strange oasis's of N soul that you got darn sarf sometimes.

Massive sound at the Newbury nighters few years back. Russ- Kev Roberts Myspace
Outrageously untrue claims of this nature dont really help Kevs case do they.............quite sad really, does he really beleive this stuff do you think ???.
