shouldn't that be t t t t t t t t*ts gotta agree with Keith (I think) four CD's everyone should own. Time I had another listen so I think I'll get them on the iPod for work.

I've asked that he edits this, when he does I will do the same with your reply Nev if that is ok?

Not strictly true, some on the scene did know it....but by the time it started getting attention Ian Wright had played it uncovered so what is the point covering it up.

But thats not the point though is it Dave, the Imperial C's and Hytones just two oldies and The Hopkins Brothers is today, regardless of its quality it packs the dance floor just as much as the two records you mention. Gareth sums it up perfectly, if Butch and Andy and the likes of them call it a day then these records wouldn't have come to the stage they are at now and the Hopkins Brothers wouldn't have known a thing about what is happening to their record. I know Ian Wright played this just before Butch but he is basically on a different scene and doubt it would have got the attention it is getting now. Some of those releasing material like this are living off the back of the Rare Soul/all-nighter scene. Many of the comments form some area form someone who has no understanding or knowledge of todays all-nighter scene and the difficulties in breaking new records. I also though Derek's second sentence to be out of order as well.

Dale is...Dale the topic is or was

Value debatable but I wouldn't pay anymore than £150.....

once you have registered click on "upload and share" at the top then follow the steps, choose your file form the folder on your PC etc.

This will be bootlegged just as quick as any cd, surely you are not that naive Dean.

No it isn't, the records are there to be discovered and it is bloody hard work getting the mainly oldies crowd to listen to newies let alone dance to them.

Cheers Martin and Nev, if not sorted next time up North East Nev I might take you up on that offer. And Martin the case is for me Modern LP's, mainly 80's stuff

Yes but as I said Pete/Mart records back then were plentiful. Today is totally different. Like I said a CD Comp or a CD Single would have been far better, probably cheaper to produce.

If a CD compilation not the Hopkins Brothers material wasn't possible then due to licensing issues then why not a CD single of these two tracks, or a CD EP type release with purely Hopkins Brothers owned material? This would have gone some way to lessen the impact on the already struggling Rare Soul/All-nigeter (call it what you like) scene! Now every Tom Dick and Harry DJ will feel they have a legitimate right to play this track up and down the country, a track they haven't travelled to support not only the record itself but the hard work the likes of Butch and Andy Dyson put in sourcing records like this. It takes years to break a record, Tommy and the Derby's took over 15 to crack, by and large they take 3 to 5 years then others with no vested interest in the scene come along to line their pockets on the back of others. There are ways to do this to satisfy (if that is the right word) all parties. We know full well unless the artist owns the track outright, the licensing etc then they will make sweet FA, not even enough to pay the weekly groceries. If they are lucky enough to own the license then they might get a small 4 figure sum which won't last long.

Great show Jordi and Dave, some excellent choices in there. You two are radio naturals When can we hear the out takes then

Look forward to it!!

not sure about a boot but it got a legit release via Jazzman(?) https://www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk/v2/prodtype.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=103&numRecordPosition=1

I'm pretty sure the Central 1179 book has been re-printed Carms, late last year. Great book it is too, wish I could get a kindle version.

yep your making sense don't worry. I've just found a Swan 50 box which might do the trick, not on their own site though!

Whats the best flight case for LP's or 12 inch vinyl?

You are sounding just as bad as those you are slagging off, give it a rest please. Any more off topic and it will be removed.

if it was me I would use a proper nut and bolt or something like, lot of weight in 300 records and a long way down to the floor if the handle ever comes off whilst carrying...hate to think any would get broken.

The handle went on the box I made in the 80's a year or so ago. I got a new handle from a site that does flight case spares. Can't remember the exact site but plenty out there do spares.... here's one.... https://flightcasehardware.co.uk/

Not sure why some have to come on here knocking the efforts of some to save the place? If have no interest then simply read something else.

I used to love the Wheel back in the 80's and 90's but then it was a progressive venue with top DJ's of the time. Guess some don't want to keep looking back. Will the new hotel not have a function room where it can continue? I know it won't be the same but what is today?

Looks better with the red vinyl. And as others said O'Jays doesn't come close to the Commands.

Post unapproved.
