Just host £60 a year and unlimited everything. You have a Mac Pete? iWeb piece of p*$s.

isn't one of those selling the copies something to do with the Out A Site publishers? Has the other got his copies to actually sell yet? Does it really matter if you get a copy a couple of days later than you thought?

Stuart, what was the timeline etc you came up with? Maybe I can start some topics on each and the info and memories can be gathered in the topics. Then if someone wishes to take on the project there should be plenty to go at? Me, I have trouble remembering breakfast at times

New Years Eve, Bidds, Lifeline and New Century Soul all-nighter!! at Bidds.

Have you complained to the publisher/distributor?

It's getting a joke with the amount of week-enders, over kill gone mad. We have Cleethorpes, Prestatyn twice, Whitby, Brid, Scarborough, Blackpool Tower, Weston Super Mare, Newquay, seen an advert for one in Berwick and sure another in Manchester (?), Soul Essence. Then you have the European ones Bamburg, Hitsville, Rimini and others. Something has to give, either some weekender's or all-nighters are going to suffer.

The number of door staff required will be set by the council and can be found on a venues public entertainment license, simply ask the venue management. It is not always the capacity that stipulates how many door staff/security are required, you might have to have a set number just on the door of any venue or club plus extra for the capacity.Any bouncers should have a ticket/license as well, not just any hard looking Tom Dick or Harry.

pretty sure you could at one time get some software to block snipes although why anyone would want to block one and deprive themselves of extra money is beyond me. Might be better off in PC, software section as it is basically a technical topic???

It is nothing to do with scene politics, why do people always bring out that chestnut to back up their arguments?

I don't know how rare it is, I based my comments on what the first post said and that those who had seen it haven't said it is common as muck. I don't know why it's covered, maybe it is rare. I still say the only reason it is being talked about is because it is allegedly rare and covered up, if it was a tenner disco record it wouldn't get a mention no matter how good it is.

oops, Dave posted as I was writing

doesn't the Canterbury on the real one curve round the top of the label not straight across?

I disagree and think some miss the point of "if it was cheap...." If this record was a tenner it wouldn't get its own topic on Soul Source, I doubt it would ever get a mention by anyone let alone spins at a venue. We wouldn't be discussing it now. The only reason we are discussing it is because it is rare and covered up, not because it is good or bad. Its value was/is a factor. Like you say horses for course, I'm in the same camp as Sean, poor disco with little or no soul content and there are better ten quid records out there ignored simply because this is rare. Too much snobbery when it comes to prices on this scene.

I did wonder myself why ball the detail, me I would have just said can't go working As it happens I am going, might be interesting, might be a total waste of time but if nothing else I might be able to offer an opinion or two in the Q&A at then end.

take you won't be going then

HI Dave, missed that track the first tome you posted it, does sound good and will look out for the Lp/cd.

I might try and get the day off. If I remember rightly Lucy has asked me questions in the past about the scene, help for a thesis/dissertation, and has read this site for some time.

here's me and a few others from Chesterfield in Sept. 1987 in Mansfield in I think Trotters. Nige Parker ready to fall through the bar (Del boy style)..you can just see Gary Churm's eyes peeking over (I think) Graham Manlove's shoulder....

seen two or three in the past for around 4k in vg+ only. CM price not too bad if you ask me.

Back on topic Billy & Betty who?

can't remember but when it first started back in the eighties we were a much younger crowd any way (I was 22 or 23 when it started I think, '88 or '89) until those who left when Wigan closed and missed the eighties returned and bumped up our average age If I remember rightly there was a cafe/canteen lounge area at the side of the main hall which was frequented by some students, I would imagine some ventured into the nighter?? Someone with a better memory might be able to add more.

how do you know it's boring and sh*te? It's being held and discussed in a university, full of students? Who knows it might just turn a few towards the NS scene

Hi Len, my comments weren't directed at you, here the comment "well they play different music to us" too many times. Think promoters would be better off going every other month, might make for a healthier all night scene.

Phil, I reckon Andy has one, mail him at Dysonsoul@aol.com
