I doubt almost anyone knows what two major collectors have got never mind one major collector? Not to mention all those who are not part of or don't even no why northern soul is.

I'd agree with both your comments Kev.

Is there any of the lectures in writing or a recording, would love to see or hear. I enjoyed the one from 18 months or so ago.

And another, Innocent Bystanders - Breaking Out.... Not thew flip to Frantic Escape is it, Crime Doesn't Pay? Can't find as sound file off hand to listen to.

Cheers guys it is Sebastian Williams Home Town Boy, long time since I heard it as well.

I think we all be affected one way or another by this terrible disease. As Kitch says this isn't about the Golf or the lads have a jolly for the day but about raising some much needed funds for a great cause so please help with whatever you can give. MacMillan have been a great source of support and care for those afflicted by cancer and for their families and need all the funds and support they can get. Best of luck boys.

Still trying to identify this Guy spoon from Stafford as well... Al Kent Orchestra - One Step Beyond Love. Is it the backing to something I'm not getting? Guy can't remember either!!

Old Keb spin from Stafford covered up as Lester Tipton - I'm Gonna Stay. Anyone tell me who it is? https://soundcloud.com/chalkster/lester-tipton-im-gonna-stay

Another keb cover up I'm trying to suss.... Lester Tipton - I'm Gonna Stay or I Want To Stay It is the last track on this mix cloud upload https://www.mixcloud.com/Chalkster/stafford-top-of-the-world-2nd-november-1985-part-1/

He was still obviously DJing with 60's newies in 85 and 86, Stafford and everywhere in-between. Stafford shut February 1986 so he could have had a brief fling with the modern after Stafford but he was soon back with 60's newies and bought quite a few of Jimmy Wensiora's collection. He retired again from 60's newies, outside of London at least December 1987. His last set outside of London for the 60's was at the Winding Wheel and his last three tracks were The Charmaines, Boss 4 and JD Bryant.

must have done a round already

Just in case you can't get youtube to work like me here it is from my sound cloud page... [media=]https://soundcloud.com/chalkster/benny-curtis-with-the-gene

Thankfully I haven't been asked for any payment and like I said I'm a tight Yorkshire man, we don't like to pay for anything

and have you seen the buggy now its laden with booze......

Jock's just heard it is last orders at the 19th hole......

Lot of good points in there Paul and a lot of truth. Me I just want to listen to good records whatever the price, preferably something different with some good quality oldies thrown in.

How do you know he promoter hasn't booked he DJ to play unknowns? I've seen DJs bomb, happened myself, cause he promote had asked us to do a particular set yet it wasn't right for the paying customers. That's the fault of he promoter surely. I've also DJ'ed at venues clearly advertised as rare, lesser known, semi known etc etc only to be asked for classics. I suppose that is the fault of he DJ as well? Maybe we should just put a juke box in each venue?

If it is info from a scan then google will pull the Popsike scan up.....well it does when I do a search. But again with the info, it can be got elsewhere for free so still don't see the point in paying? Must be the Yorkshire Blood.

Prices have risen steadily on this since the find dried up. Case of supply and demand rather than rarity dictating the price.

Popsike is probably a waste of time in the majority of cases due to the age of many of the auction prices and the disparity between the lowest and highest price item. Far better using something like this site. Totally free and up to date. I haven't paid and won't be paying for popsike.

Does no one remember the above?

By positive I mean a valid contribution, but I tink you know that. Steve's was one opinion, I can't understand why you would conclude that the venue might not be for you from Steve's comment? Surely your decision would be based upon the fact you didn't know the records and if unknowns are what you want then it is the venue for you. If it was oldies you wanted then the venue wouldn't be for you? Yes the records are known to some, not so to others, they may or may not be cutting edge but the promotion is a damn sight different to the vast majority of venues, that is plain to see from the records listed. On that basis alone I would choose that venue personally over a venue with classic oldies. As Tim Smithers said it was just a small selection of what was played on the night. Tim said he played several cover ups and unknowns. But at he end of the day a venue needs support regardless of the policy or the format. There is a large catchment area on the south coast and there should be room and support for a venue like this without having to reply on travellers.

I would think most of those who attend oldies nights where they listen to what they have listened to for most of heir social life aren't bothered so much about the music like those who do give an opinion. It is more a social affair for them with music they like as a back drop. Some wish to progress and hear music they haven't heard before be that 60's, 70's or modern.

Why is there a bias? It is because others choose not to get involved and that isn't the fault of those who are getting involved. I would think most who have participated love the oldies just as much as newer stuff but choose not to listen to somethg they have heard for 25,30 or 40 years every weekend. Can we drop the "big boys" rubbish, it is getting tiresome. If you don't want to get involved then fine, just leave it at that.

There you go again Win, who are the justified and ancient? If you put something up for scrutiny, seeking opinions you cannot expect everything to be positive, people have different views and opinions. If the playlist had been in the playlist forum I doubt it would have generated much response but it wasn't it was put up here for scrutiny and opinion, there is a difference. Leaving the playlist (a good playlist btw and one I'd be happy to hear at a venue) aside I can only applaud Rod and Sallie for what they are doing and for what they believe in. Unfortunately I don't have the time with work and home to travel so far these days but saying that they should really be getting better support from the South.
