Important: Significant Us->Overseas Postage Rate Increase As Of 1/27/2013
Probably still be cheaper to get an Lp from the US than it is a UK dealer, you only have to look at Discogs to see the price differential between a foreign dealer, even Europe and a UK dealer.

That might be true of the biggies Pete but there was plenty of good originals out there for a quid, two quid etc, you only have to look at Soul Bowl lists. The same in the 80's, many buggies were bought for a pittance before they became big, there's still quality records out there that are neglected in favour of safe wigan oldies. Anyway as I said before let the youngsters do their own thing, quite a few clubs run by youngsters getting noticed and doing well without the old uns interfering.

Roger, The Eagle Has Landed
You don't expect the BBC or any other to do research do you Paul? Don't think it was ever intended to be about the Wheel and at just 30 minutes with a lot more to his life I didn't expect to much of a reference to his time at the Wheel. Interesting non the less.

Radio 4 show just about to start profiling Roger Eagle. Might be of interest to some. https://www.bbc.co.uk...rammes/b01phf7l

Hi Pete, Welcome back to the scene and to soul source. I think you will soon realise that a topic rarely follows the path the topic title suggests, they tend to go off at a tangent all the time. Get stuck in and enjoy All the best for 2013.

Are Youngsters Coming Through?
And we are back to what started this, why do they need the odd re-release, boot or pressing? Why not make a name for themselves playing something different, they are out there, very easy to locate and often cheaper than many boots nowadays. Why does anyone want to DJ with a boot of an already established record? This is all about revitalising the scene, young DJ's with fresh sounds and a different outlook on everything, not carrying on with the same old same I would be more inclined to employ a youngster who showed some imagination and brought something different to the table not offered up what every other Tom, Dick and Harriet is already offering.

Nobody should be handed anything on a plate, life isn't like that. Yes, a leg up now and then doesn't hurt but to get that leg up you at least have to have the right attitude, attributes and work ethic, you don't get a leg up in any other walk of life being a lazy tw*t so why should DJing be any different. Myself and many others never got a leg up when starting out and it was bloody tough then to get a nighter set, tougher than now that is for sure.

I don't have the records you think I have, I'm on my third collection for one reason or another and I certainly can't afford expensive records. I've always championed cheap records in my sets. I believe there's nothing worse than hearing set after set of records that are out of the reach of the ordinary collector. And many of those who have been at it yonks and have the collections have worked hard to get that collection, just like I have, not just thrown money at it like many wrongly assume.

The likes of the 100 Club has featured an all female line up several times. It even had a female resident at one time. Plenty of venues featuring female DJs.

Are you a comedian or summat? There's plenty of old uns who work for the minimum wage with kids with a mortgage.

Read the topic before comng out with such crap, the young promoters taking part in the topic insist on original vinyl. As for limited means he youngsters probably have more disposable income. As Andy said blind leading the blind.

You said "If it wasn't for pressings you wouldn't have been able to play any northern soul as a kid" not want you said above, you should say what you mean the first place.

There's nothing wrong with buy pressings or boots. What was wrong was the reasons you gave for buying them in the first place. Look I'm not knocking you or having a go, I'm simply dispelling the myth that no one can afford originals with little money.
-
Are Youngsters Coming Through?
It is nothing to do with hindsight, it's nothing to do with poverty. If you could afford a pressing you could afford an original. It might not have been the big ticket item but you could afford many a good original for the cost of a pressing. They were there when you had no money, they are still there now, you just didn't and most still don't look, like you say ignorance. You have to remember many walked home, cadged a lift home, knicked a car, jumped the train cause they had no money. As said build your collection slowly, trouble today everyone wants everything there and then rather than work at it, same with knowledge and information. Every thing is there for you, you just have to look. No one will look down on anyone for buying cheap records, the opposite in fact, you will get more respect for it than buying a pressing.

I've said it before and I'll repeat it now, Utter Rubbish. There's 100's and 100's of records as cheap if not cheaper than a pressing. Jock Mitchell boot recently sold for £110. You could buy most of Tyrone Davis back catalogue for that. You can certainly buy 11 records at a tenner each more than good enough for a northern soul venue. It's lazy collecting and a sorry excuse for collecting and playing pressings.

There has some seriously committed youngsters in the past, as passionate as any with collections to die for but other commitments make them leave the scene, mortgage, kids work etc. Nothing to do with negativity or worry, it is fact. It is great whilst you are still young with no worries and not a care in the world but you can't say what the future holds or how you will act when something unexpected is put in front of you.
