My insignifcant, sometimes, part-time, other has just called me a NS "anorak" - Thats rich coming from a man who does quadratic equations for FUN!!. Being female should i be insulted or flattered.

Tammi Lynn another good oldie very rarely played. CONFESS NOW!! ALL OF YOU Whats at the "Back of Your Box" you know that one you never play when your mates come round or even admit to owning but you do play it when when you get in after a few beers and your on your own, your realise that a back drop is a thing of the past and you want to remember your teens

Forgot to tell you what it was AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS ooooooooooops pissed again

Going to bed and leaving u all with this thought: Just got in an decided to play the "back of the Box" and found this, I loved this track when I was about 15. You may all think it's NAFF but along with Dusty it should be played now and again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although DU Dusty is the greatest, Dont les forget petula's "Its the SIGN OF THE TIMES" or am i just older than I care to admit

sorry thats my 365 details - if you don't get on let me know and will pm details later

use mine will pm them if you need them

Does anyone know of a reputable company that I can get soul ringtones from that I can buy as one offs and not have to have so many a month etc. Always a bit wary of this sort of thing!!

Far superior - Dusty is undoubtedly the best white soul singer of all time!!

Great track - also on the Dusty Sings Classic Soul CD

Good place to start with a Dusty CD is Dusty Springfield sings Classic Soul Tracks Track listing 1. When The Love Light Starts Shining Thru His Eyes 2. Needle In A Haystack 3. Oh No Not My Baby 4. Mr Dream Merchant 5. Don't Forget About Me 6. Girls It Ain't Easy 7. I Just Don't Know What Do With Myself 8. Chained To A Memory 9. Love Power 10. Can I Get A Witness 11. I Had A Talk With My Man Last Night 12. So Much Love 13. Magic Garden 14. Brand New Me 15. Crumbs Off The Table 16. Long After Tonight Is Over 17. I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You 18. Breakfast In Bed

They used to play quite a bit of her stuff in the early 70s. I think she is one of the best. See rachel's reply for some of her more Northernesque tracks. Actually bought "What's it gonna be" about a month ago off ebay AHHHHHHHHHH Dear dear dusty!!!!!

Yes the world has gone barmy, not only on JM but load of stuff on ebay (THAT I WANTED) went for silly money last night, I don't mean bucks but over the odds for what it is, i.e. £8 stuff going round the £15 mark. Stuff I couldn't wait to get rid of that have come in job lots is sellilng actually sold WIgans OVastion Skiing in the Snow, would of given it away or made a Blue Peter flower pot out of it if it had been in the house any longer. Think everyone has got the bug after Prestatyn, or is it spring cleaning, think I will hang on to everything till late March next year, mind you may not be able to get in the house by then.

I agree and wish I've never started it - things you do when you've had a beer ehh! Lets call it a day folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do I detect that this has now gone from inuendo to blatant filth and before the watershed (well better than behind the bike shed i suppose)

feminism noun the belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power and opportunities as men and be treated in the same way, or the set of activities intended to achieve this state: feminist [show phonetics] noun [C] a person who believes in feminism, often being involved in activities that are intended to achieve change: Well you asked Never seen myself as a feminist, always seemed a bit tooooooo political for my girlie brain, couldn't burn my bra in the sixties as had no need for one in those days (or now thinking about it - think of all the money I could of saved!)

You lot av got me thinking (and thats definately a rare one probably about £3K on manship), its time I kicked myself up the arse got rid of the sometimes man and his collection of 80s pop shit (only after I have depostited his Ultravox, OMD and Adam and the Ants LP's over his head) and sent the original QOFs back OOTF. Pattie Swallow would be appalled if she could see me now (Female DJ Orbit Club Rhyl, Early 70s one woman well ahead of her time)

Did spot the paul weller double

Maybe I'm just finding it a little more difficult being a 40+ returner after about a 23 year absence and non of my female mates are soulies and the sometimes man in my life wouldn't know a 45 if it hit him in the head. Someone said in one of the earlier posts that the oldies scene is more male dominated this is also maybe one of the problems as am an oldie fan but do listen and dance to other stuff. GET A LIFE CHRISSIE COMES TO MIND

You're right it was not intended to be about the DJs but the whole scene so it is inevitable that the DJ issue would come into it a some point, I personally don't care what sex a DJ is as long as the sound is right.

"I Second That Emotion" Must stop using that phrase it's getting a bit boooooooooring. If it was equal the female DJs would play alongside the blokes and there would not be "All Girl Line Ups". Swore I would never hit the decks again but have been asked to do the "midnight hour" at my nephews 21st - surprised my son is letting me near his decks, its bin about 27 years. Best keep the bozze to minimum till afterwards ehh!

Thanks for sorting pass out for me - Had a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!

South of Watford Gap and North Of London, don't want to be too specific as it may offend some of the good NS mates I do have locally.

I had, had a few sherberts last when I started this last night, and now I have re-read it, although I still stand by 99% of it but may be not the "out on the pull" thing, but I have known some men who think I am only into the music cos they think I fancy them (ego problems), or bought a record cos they have it in their collection (SAD). Be honest if you didn't really love NS you wouldn't spend hours trawling ebay etc trying to buy 7" of plastic that is over priced and none of your mates will ever let you play when they come round. Does this pose another topic "Can Women Be NS Anoraks" or would they bl**dy want to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do show some symptons i.e. "what label syndrome" "demoitus" "try and find the obscure rash" Is there a cure - or would I want there to be one????

I know I said "Going to post this and then going to leave you all to fight it out" but think I may make a comment or two -- or shall I .............................................................
