To be fair Matt most promoters take into account the travelling and keep things as cheap as possible. But again that is only relevant to those that travel, I guess the vast majority don't travel or don't travel too far. And again I guess if you are a clubber, and I don't mean a local piss head going to the local night club, the dance scene or whatever it is called, clubs that employ the best DJ's, Ministry Of Sound, Creamfields or whatever is en vogue these days, they charge far more than we do and the travelling is there as well. I'm travelling far less but that is because of the music that is on offer. I can hear the same at local soul nights. All the reasons I travelled the length and breadth of the country for are fast disappearing in a sea of mediocrity but that is a different argument. The entrance fee if it was somewhere I wanted to go wouldn't put me off.

The Take Two in Sheffield early 90's was £2 to get in. Today, well the third Friday, The Horti Club in Sheffield £3. I bet the bus fair from Sheffield city centre to Darnell is more than the entrance fee!! Just shows how prices haven't really changed for a long time. Nighters back then were a fiver, they have only doubled in price in 20 odd years, I wish I could say the same for everything else in my life since then. I'm happy to pay a little bit extra for some comfort, better equipment (new stylus or should I say styli alone should be a minimum requirement every time and they aren't cheap), different DJ's rather than the mates of mates you get at many places. I usually find the cheaper the venue the worse the ale is as well.

Hi Gary. I presume you have it stored on your computer in some sort of electronic format, word, pdf? Take a look at Blurb, a self publishing platform, Mark Windle used it for his book, It's Better To Cry. https://www.blurb.co.uk

I am involved with an all-nighter and believe me we would like to charge more than what we charge on the door now, £10. We have no wish to make a profit, it would be nice of course, but covering costs is the main stipulation and we barely do this. Peope do not realise what it costs for equipment, DJ's, venue, door staff etc etc. £15 should be a minimum these days and £7 or £8 for a soul night. try going to a normal club down town and see what you will pay. Try going to a club that has the best DJ's and you would be paying far far more than the equivalent NS night/nighter. The northern scen are happy to sit in dumps, flea bitten working mens clubs and venues that should be shut down all to save a few bob. Happy to pay 1000's for the records but listen to them in second rate establishments.

Demand for this rising faster than the water levels on the titanic. Price too, over £50 last one I saw. Fantastic record that has been a sleeper for many years.

Hi Gary, do you have a digital version?

Looking for Tyrone Davis LP"s "Turn Back The Hands Of Time" and "I Had It All The Time" both on Dakar from 1970 & 1972. I'm not interested in any reissue. Both on the cheap side so no daft prices please.

They all play fine here.

R.I.P. Danny.

I also have a Brothers of Soul and one of the Ortheia Barnes but will have to check which one.

I guess so but can this scene and collecting market even though it encompasses many countries and the profile has never been higher sustain these prices? When people are paying four figure sums for records when the general consensus is they are worth less than half that how long can it keep going? I know some buy records with an eye on what they can get back in return but if someone has a grand that they don't mind ever seeing again then fine. But I know a few who are buying because they see the collection as their pension pot but just like the financial markets assets are just as likely to drop in value as well as rise. I doubt whoever paid the price for the VelVets, even though he or she will be happy with what they paid will ever see that kind of return on it. it would be interesting to know the age of the buyer, my guess someone with no mortgage and kids have fledged and left the home and not a youngster as someone intimated earlier or elsewhere. Maybe someone with a pension as well as a wage? Or someone simply well off with money being no object? There is little wonder many are turning to boots and pressings.

Every bubble bursts at some point!

Dee Irwin is who I have always been lead to believe Difosco is.

you can play a download out can't you? Burn to a cd or god forbid put it on a memory stick or plug your ipod into decks Have been hearing it on some radio shows for a while now, decent track. Dave Thorley posted it some weeks ago as well.

Regarding Brent...you need to get the recent brilliant Kent cd covering the label, a review is on this site in articles

Look forward to listening whilst on me travels.

Ao my ears are working ok, they are different takes but the same artist? It was covered up as Lewis Clark by Saus back in the early to mid 90's.

And does anyone know the second track, sorry it is so brief.

Is this track Sammy Hawkins? It is the same record and same backing etc but the vocal sounds slightly different to these ears, not as sharp. Is it just the source material, this is from a tape, I presume the youtube clip is from vinyl?

Anyone else having trouble loading this topic,very slow this end? Anyway two LPS on the decks today Chuck Jackson I Wanna Give You Some Love and The Hesitations Soul Superman.

Is the link I posted for a different article? I know there's a double page photo of the dance floor in the mag.
