What Decks Do You All Use?
That's beautiful Gene. Bet the old rock n roll stuff sounds ace on it Have you got it going through a valve amp and other vintage stuff?

What Decks Do You All Use?
Depends what you're playing really. Technics are great workhorses and, given the choice, I wouldn't DJ with anything else. If you buy stuff recorded later than the 60s though, might be worth getting a decent belt drive turntable.

Do You Ever Play Out Anything Unusual?
Another cover of Comin' Home Baby. Imaginative huh?

Cassierta George
Ouch! Gotta get that off my "last played clip". There's another clue on the album sleeve too. It lists who first played all the records on the comp and where and when they were played. "Cassietta" is listed as played by Rob Smith at Notts Palais in 1979. Rob is also credited as playing "Looking for You" (Garnett Mimms tune) by the Echoes - same venue, same year and that's a Destiny Records production. There's also "Hold On" (O'Jays tune) by the Lovemasters, another Destiny production. That one is stated as being played by Russ Winstanley at Wigain in - wait for it - 1979. In fact I remember those tunes coming out on some double sided US release, presumably to pass itself off as a Beach type recording. Game, set and...? Godz

Royal Kings On Big Lik, Northern?
Well... Maybe. But not in soul related way. I did a post about this a year or two ago. I think most folk agreed that the intro promised a lot more than it delivered **CLIP HERE**

Would This Get A Play Out?
I think if you're going to make a statement like that you really ought to name the records your referring to. Who knows, people may even agree with you, but you need to be specific

Motown Night On Bbc4 Tonight Now Now Now
I meant Clark of course, Tony. Shouldn't attempt to write after glass number four

Motown Night On Bbc4 Tonight Now Now Now
Copyright I'd have thought. I've been wondering recently if, now that Dave Dee has died, the Motown Ready Steady Go one hour special might finally get a DVD release. Really hope so.

Lionel Hampton - Greasy Greens - Glad Hamp
Nothing to do with Soul Police, Tommy It's just a funky jazz tune and has been played as such by non-niche DJs for years. Nothing wrong with anyone playing it in Northern rooms of course, and if goes down well and makes a few more people aware of it that's fine

Lionel Hampton - Greasy Greens - Glad Hamp
Link HERE Martin. Great tune. Didn't realise this one had become Northern though

Anybody Know Anything About This
Boot of servicemen with good sound quality.

Cassierta George
Doesn't sound like her voice though from what I recall. Not heard it for ages but I have a feeling last time I did it may have sounded like a white girl?

Uk Albums - Chartbusters Usa (columbia), Bell Cellar Of Soul - Vols 1,2,3, Freddie Scott And More
What problem accessing the site? It's up and running and he obviously has internet access. I offered one of the EPs Neil was looking for and got "I'll get back to you" then zilch. Profile says he was on here yesterday too. I always think a "No thanks - don't want this copy because ..." is polite. Ahh well - another 'want' back in the upstairs cupboard I guess

Mistura Featuring Lloyd Michels On Prt Label
I remember an earlier version by Johnny Mathis. My mum was a huge fan, and in the mid 70s I used to have massive rows with her about the fact that just because he was black it didn't make him a soul singer. She's more into Robbie Williams now. Not sure if that's better or worse...

Frankie Valli
So is there a Four Seasons version that's different from the Frankie Valli one? And if so, in what way?
