I've put a few hour and a half mixes of underplayed stuff on my YouTube channel and one has about 25,000 hits so there must be people interested in underplayed stuff.I've been busy buying this sort of stuff for years whilst people have been buying the next reggae soul 45 s...the next popcorn biggie....the next r and b biggie.....can we keep this thread quiet.....

That is a good countetfeit....I was expecting an eldarado type one with no centre hole.

My pm 21 st April 1220 ...did I beat you Pete? .apparently it has been booted with a solid center...seller sent me a link to e bay.I wouldn't sell a record unless I had it in my hands and owned it.First problem.I have ever had on this forum and I'm a regular buyer.

I bought it but not got the record....turns out his mate was supplying it and it turned out to be a boot....I never knew it was booted...

Marc I was in Cologne at a bar the other week and spotted a bootleg of No One Could Love you more being played....I was going to call Matthew Hopkins.

I wonder if these bootleggers would dabble in Roulette stuff ....I'm sure that labels owners used to dabble in concrete loafers.There's one south east bootlegger that has moved onto late 50 s stuff avoiding copyright laws apparently...he will meet his eldarado.

A certain dj told me he sent off his white Tower demo of By Yourself to the states to be pressed....sometime later the boxes came back with a few thousand copies......but what they didn't do was to send the original back seperately .....oh dear!!

I'll pay 300 for one....ad rules say you can post sold but leave price sold at on.

What price was this at just out of interest?

And Johnny Harris was Lulus musical director...and Lulu did a really bad cover version of Little Hanls Try To Understand on Decca.

The singer of The Cheater was murdered by his wifes lover...

I've got one called Look Before You Leap by him...will have to give it another spin.

Dug this one out April 89 Blackpool

Wish I had kept the programmes instead of the passes..Do you want to see the lineups up to 96?

I'm sure I went to one or two before this though....Berwick??

April 1993 Northern still in the soulbase tucked away at 3.30 am..

April 1991 ...I'm not going mad...The Soul base 3 to 5 am northern soul with Clarkie and Searling.

March April 1990 soul and jazz rooms...

Right....the stuff I keep!! Here's some memory jerkers.March April 1990..

I thought Rocks Off was in Camden.Had loads of stuff out of there served by a woman wearing leopard print.Wasn't it Ted Carrolls shop? Had stuff out of Hanway St..Andy Neills shop.Ive a great article on Cheapo Cheapo in an old Blues and Soul with a picture of the stall...I had a boxfull of Tommy Hunt live at Wigan los out of the Cheapo shop and a few copies of the Loot soundtrack for a few quid each.

Yep he definately did at least one in there....i remember dancing to the right of the stage near the corner.Must have moved into the jazz room later on...I'm talking Southport.There was some grumpiness from the jazz dancers i was with when it moved into the jazz room as they wanted to hear Snowboy or Sylvester all night.Bacardi bar must have been later as my mate Simon Mansell tells me about deejaying in there.There was another scene in London called The Boogie scene...black geezers in leather trousers and all that.....Lloyd and the Boogie boys etc.

To Nick Harrison...yep the dealers were in the foyer oppsite the entrance doors.Jazz room to the left of that and soul room further up to the left.I'm not talking people walking round with records.I'm talking chatting to people who I would swap tapes with...just got in contact with one of them terry Seline from Driffield.Used to swap seventies slow records for northern.Richard definately did a northern set in the soul room.

I used to go to Southport for the Jazz room and used to pop my head into the Soul Room.The place was packed...there was a certain type eighties smart dress associated with it as well.I never liked the music although i remember once Dionne Warwicks Move Me No Mountain came on which wasnt bad.It was great for buying northern in there though as loads of people were getting rid of sixties stuff.Traded loads of seventies and eighties soul pack stuff in there for sixties.From memory the DJs were Jonathan.Yogi Haughton.Colin Curtis.Searling and Jonathan Woodcliffe.The music was the same tempo all night and I could only stomach 45 mins of it before leaving.I would be back there last knockings when Richard did a northern revival set.

I'm sure its by a band called Mozaik or something like that...I'm sure there's a Spencer Davis cover on the other side..good versions though....just got a record by De Hems..which has big Equals involvement.. good funky b side as well.

I know...that's why I need to get one quick!!
