Car Wash was played at the Casino. Not many people looking for a copy of that at the moment.

But people weren't saying all 70's is disco, they were saying that in the main, actual DISCO is rubbish, which it is. Patrick Hernandez anyone

UK recording mate. Reissued 74 I think, remember it appearing in a Wigan Casino top 10 in Record Mirror when "The Night" was the biggest sound so that should date it to early 74

Just because they were issued at a time when disco was everywhere doesn't actually mean that they are disco. I mean, The Moments - Nine Times - disco? House For Sale? Thats like saying that every record released in 1957 was rock & roll

That was reissued purely to Northern demand Godz, it originally came out on the old orange and white Trojan label and is quite rare.

Thank you very much Ady. I think it has to be traced back to the birth of my little boy. Changed me overnight it did! Nowadays I'm more chilled out and less angry. I'm still going to frame this though

Calm down Tim,we're all pals here

Exactly. We have a little corner ofthe forum put aside for us and we don't want to invade the main forum. It was simply because a huge block of new posts came up at the same time and made it look like the forum had become Ska Source. Could I just also point out that in the Soul Of Jamaica forum there is a Jamaican Soul / R&B subsection which many people may well enjoy.

None. But several at The Wheel I believe. The old blokes told me. Phoenix City and the like

I did actually know that but it would have ruined my joke

They used to be called The Trevores, then Trevor left

Cool down folks, we have a great little sub-forum going and I have no complaints if people don't want new posts showing up in the northern sections, I think maybe some took Tony's post the wrong way maybe? I am heartened by the support forthe ska forum as well though, don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't dominate the soul sections. Chrissie you made some good points re modern and disco though...

Nothing wrong with your post whatsoever Cod, it was all the ones I did, don't worryabout it - people will definitely be interested in the info you mentioned

I was just adding photos Mike, but certainly take it offthe new posts anyway -we all know where it is now so doesn't matter if new posts don't show up

Start with the rocksteady Dave - much of it is amazingly soulful

If you're clicking on 'new posts' then it'll showloads of ska posts because I've just edited about 30, thats why theres so many

Yes it Freda Payne, it's the old blue HMV label, it's not really of interest as far as NS is concerned.

Not sure I agree with that. It's the same tune but Ton Of Dynamite is ten times more powerful.

Anyone got recordings of these original versions I could hear?

I think this is earlier than 75, seeing as I bought it on an emi that year, maybe 71/72?

Absolutely no way should it have cue burn and if this wasn't mentioned you should ask for a refund. A VG+ record has been played a bit, might have the odd click here and there, but still play really well. Mine do anyway!

I've been trying to sell a mint one on here for the last 3 weeks! (£25)

Sure...
