New Kent Pied Piper Cd - Can't Wait For This
James played that Cavaliers track at Burnley many years ago. The place went mental. So much so he played it again. I know who got the acetate, but he may want to remain anonymous, so I'm not saying.

Not as much as you would think Neil. As I found out when I sold it twice.

The Exceptions
The unreleased version is much better than the released one in my humble opinion. There was a couple of acetates about a few years ago. I think Alex Jones used to have one. The released version goes a bit mental half way through if I remember rightly?

Bobby Cutchins I Did It Again
I was never that keen on the BC version, But the Jesse Henderson version just does it for me, and I have no idea why. It's very 80's which I normally hate, but it's got that special "something" that can't be explained. I remember Richard Searling playing it on his old radio show. Edit. It's too long by 5 minutes though.

Has Anyone Ever Counted?
His goal was every "soul" record actually. Tim likes all genres not just northern.

Jm Million Dollar Guide
I believe JM used a lot of record scans from his auction items. I also heard that he borrowed records from some big collectors to get scans etc. I know for certain that the scans of Paris and Sandy Wynn's on Doc were taken off my 45's that JM auctioned for me years ago. As for "Arthur Willis & The Soulful Dynamics" it's been a big spin for Butch for many years now. Very few copies have ever turned up. It's one of those 45's that grows on you, it's not instant, but I love it and it sounds fantastic played out. I have a rough sound file somewhere. If I can find it I will send it to you.

Records Advertised By Clubs In Blues And Soul
It was all part of the mystique surrounding the whole scene. Absolutely magical. It's all too easy now. It sometimes took you years to find out what a track was. It would take a couple of clicks of a mouse now.

How Do You File Your Collection?
I just put them in a 100 box and add some cardboard to pack it out. Never had more than 500 at one time in my life. I have never been able to afford to keep my records. Always been skint.

We can shoot each other mate.

Up Front?
I am speaking for myself Mik, I'm not qualified to speak for anyone else. I'm pleased to hear that you are having a good time, and good luck to everyone who is. I am obviously a fossil and should be put out of my misery.
-
Up Front?
When you find yourself singing along to most of what's being played. Au contraire. I went out for years, and was bored ****less for a lot of that time. But then again, I only went for the music. I've never been interested in all the "other things" Like I said, respect to all who want to keep it going, I'm probably just bitter that I missed the 80's when it was fresh and cool again.
-
Up Front?
If certain people have decided that "the soul scene" is their preferred social life, then that's fine and dandy. It's just the same as any other club / pastime / social scene. But to try and make out that it is still a cool, underground and cutting edge music scene is just nonsense. Most of the people who throughout the years have been at the cutting edge, or who have really lived for the music, have long since realised there isn't any fresh material, and have moved on. There's nothing wrong with loving "the scene" and wanting to keep it going. But for "upfront" we should probably be using that other well used description, "underplayed / lesser known" but even this can be very contentious.

Up Front?
Not to me they ain't.

The Gaylettes On Black Jack
Totally agree Nev, but can think of a lot more that fit the bill more than this one. But that's personal opinion again.
-
Up Front?
We can argue endlessly [come to think of it we do] on this forum. But the paragraph above says it all. Hats off to those trying to keep it going. But if I'm not constantly thinking "wow what is this" when I go out, then what's the point?

The Gaylettes On Black Jack
When did you last see one Nev? A genuinely rare record I think.

The Gaylettes On Black Jack
I like it too Simon. At least it's northern.
