Lee Williams & Cymbals - Its everything about you - That wouuld be nice one

Garland Green -Played this out at Dundee in August last year(Actually it was first in my set) and went down excellently Full Floor!

The problem with us Brits is we still think were living in 1975 when the yanks had not a clue about our scene and thats why we picked up their 5cent records that were worth 20 times it to us at the time. Because our scene is now global it was inevitable that record prices were going to be affected from the source (USA) and that dampens our spirits that we cant get one over our cousins from across the sea. But you can still find some bargains if you are prepared to look and go for unusual titles rather than the classics which command usually a consistent price (due to the guides). The only problems about our cousins is they think everything is Northern soul if they put it on the bay and even quote ("This isnt even in John manships price guide") Answer - yes your right because its actually not soul its a bloody Pop record or C&W or even freakbeat! If nothing else its bllody good fun seeing if the latest record you just bought blind is actually in the guide - Pleasanly smiling when it apparantly is worth £50 when you paid $9.99 for it or even more pleasantly surprised when its not in the guide cos the speculation of what its worth gets even more tingling in the Neurons! Oh one last thing that makes me smile! When I get a record and John has it listed as deep soul (DS) on both sides and you play the b-side and its uptempo funky or something like that it makes you think that even John can get it wrong sometimes and you have quite a few in there John that are wrongly classified! But thats the fun of it! Regards Steve

Moi Controversial Is it Brass monkey weather out there? The only pointed comments I make are about nipples and pointed bras

New York Port authority - Oh Yes this played out on a big system is awesome I remember Peoples choice - jam Jam jam - being played either before or after . And as Andy Lett says - the regulars were very open minded and loved the whole atmosphere of the changes in music policy. Although I was from Manchester and went to Wigan regularly I always associated myself with being a Mecca-Ite rather than a casino boy. I suppose it was because my granny lived in Blackpool and I lived with her and my grandad for periods of time. Plus I had made friends when I first visited "Scoeys" and then obviuosly went to the Mecca.

Well you would know about slip & slidin seeing as you were the master of it across the floor!

Welcome Paul- Its wonderful to hear your memories If it wasnt for the internet it would be very hard to get all this wonderful information. The only negative I see in this is when we were young it was the illusiveness of this information that gaves us the BUZZ - Who was Robbie Lawson? Wonder what hees doing now etc - These were the things that were part of loving the music- so In one sense its fantastic to hear the originality of these songs and yet in another way its sad because the mystique is fading (I hope you understand what I mean) and if you do you will undestand why we love your music! What a thread please keep this going!

Yes but thats why its called an auction - Seller should have put a reserve on it - If it meets that then thats the game. No invite for me tommorow- I wonder Why

Ill tell you buys this crap! Wanna be Djs who say we dont give a shite about originals - its whats in the groove that counts. They spend £300 on this crap and then play them at soul nights to nearly full dance floors. They even try to pass them off as reissues and not boots!
