  7. I went to all of them Dave. Agree the modern room wasn't very good - in fact in the first one Ian Levine was actually about the only DJ who tried to play something different and I have said as much in the past - up til that point in the night it was I recall virtually all anthems and predictable stuff from the other modern room DJs. Sadly as a result most paying punters had left that room by 3 am and Ian was DJing to a very small number. But he played things like Janice & Jammers, SABU and stuff you don't hear very often. It was really the northern room where the main focus was though. There just ain't enough punters around to fill a place like that on a monthly basis.
  8. But you are a member of the soul police Stevie.
  9. Mine has the labels the right way round A and B side
  10. But Mark you are selling your best records you Turnip You'll regret it after they're gone......
  11. Oh come off it Ian. I know there was a rival night on one of the nights you ran there, but there were several Rocket's and the attendance dropped at each subsequent one after the first night. This is nothing to be embarrassed about, as most new venues seem to garner interest for the first night, then people don't come back and the numbers drop off over time. The first one was very widely publicised on TV and in the mainstream press, and it would be impossible to sustain that on a regular basis at the point in time. That's just the way it was. I think all this conspiracy stuff is fascinating, but overblown and not an accurate reflection of what went on. There were other reasons why the Rocket didn't succeed, such as the DJ roster, the location of the venue etc. Too easy to lay blame at the door of what you consider to be the murky shadows of London's northern soul underworld - they're not that influencial on where the punters spend their money.
  12. It's actually ethe other side "Life walked out" that is soooooooo much better. Just goes to show even with radio play it's still bloody rare.
  13. Yes sounds more like h-o-r-n-e-y.....Might have that isue with a flip - will need to dig it out.
  14. Yes that is a great record too.
  15. Great. A kindrid spirit in the deep south. There may be more....
  16. Thanks everyone a bar-gin. He did a much later one around 1980 with a fakking great title which is as rare as they come - sadly not too good a record though.
  17. I know that, that's why I am on soul Source - to learn, and also share the few bits I do know. That MIST record was a Van McCoy job too - so everything comes around.
  18. The B side of "Restless" is "You blow my mind"
  19. What was the title on the Bobby Dobyne?
  20. Hey count me in if you get something going Russ. I'll try and get there.
  21. What?????? I never knew that - one of the very BEST crossover records ever made. He also recorded as Melvin Britt on Montage in 1980 "Magic" being a minor spin.
  22. Mr M's???? You are kidding n'est pas? The bloody place should have been barricaded up with everyone in it. Mr M's - The place that gave birth to the oldies scene and closed so many ears to hearing new sounds.
  23. I have changed my mind about Elipsis. It's quite catchy really, though has been played to death. So I am not suggesting play it, more that it is a post Staford classic. Still don't like Ice Reality - the lead is too off key and too repeptitve for my finely tuned ears.
