Not sure what other in formation you want Danny, that you have a genuine 60's Virtue acetate? Well I know you could buy Virtue blanks so maybe that is what was used to cut the Larry Hammond. It is pretty easy to print a Virtue or any other label for that matter. But the track as a few of us have said was recorded ten years or thereabouts ago. I did have the full story in an e-mail from Dave Burton but it got lost with PC crashes etc. Read the other topics, there is a few if memory serves me correctly.

The last Wes Oliver on eBay went for around $250, I was just beaten to it.

Dunno why it was covered as it was known from the off virtually who it was. As I mentioned earlier it would be around about ten years ago, maybe bit longer when Dave did it. I remember playing it from a cd at an early Prestatyn. When you say your copy is that cd, mp3, vinyl? Is it a boot? Was never released was it not?

the telephone is in the Whenever I'm without you track or whatever it is called.

I suppose they were right really, this is a home made recording and not an original 60's recording on an original label. Anyone playing it has done a carver from Dave's recording, or someone has done a carver and sold it on. Dunno where he got the 2 known copies from, anyone can do one really and obviously has done.

I had a letter/e-mail from Dave telling me the full story but it's got lost over time. Got all the tracks not long after Dave did them. The other Larry Hammond is Whenever I'm Without You? Search Larry in refosoul as I put it there. The other is a female take of the Dottie and Mille track or one of the femme Topper recordings. Dave Rivers if he reads this will tell you more.

Hopefully everything sorted now with the availability of the podcast. Not only cn you get it thanks to Karen on her site you can alos get it via my Blog along with any articles I've done Go >>>>HERE<<<<

In the wider context of Djing Ian, on this scene, it is simply the tried and tested, very little imagination and the so called big hitters playing records that have been broken by others over more often than not a few years, often getting more recognition for the record than the DJ who put it where it is. Most follow rather than attempt to set the trends. These days you see DJ's getting more compliments for their enthusiasm than for their records IMO it is a mirror image of years ago with the same records still being played rather than DJ's attempting to program new or forgotten records. Said it before every promoter should encourage/ask their DJ's to program 20/25 % semi or unknown, forgotten tracks. Four or five out of say 25, one every four or five records isn't too much to ask is it?

MP3's are not allowed on here but the track is in refosoul larry hammond - sad sad day - It was never issued, it was only recorded about ten years ago in Dave Burton's flat in Hong Kong, 4 tracks I think in totally. Another Larry Hammond, a version of Eligah Rockin' With Soul (I think) and a female take on Dottie and Millie or something like that. Anyone playing it either has a vinyl carver or Grant mentioned a boot?

got booted more like, it's only been around 10 years or so, recorded in Dave Burton's flat in somewhere like Hong Kong.

Is it Carms, I didn't think you did all-nighters? And soul nights are not the place to break records, not the vast majority of them anyway. There is little or practically no tolerance from the large majority of soul night atttendees these days with regard to anything new. There is just no way you can plug away with a record at a soul night that constantly clears the floor and get away with it. All-nighters maybe a little different but by and large most who attend want familiarity. I go to places that push different stuff, new stuff, semi-knowns and the dancers are too quick to sit down, soon as the 100 mile an hour traditional northern soul stomper comes on up they get. A record to stand any chance has to either be in the hands of half a dozen or so DJ's, played week in week out all over the country or exceptional (which are few and far between these days). The good new discoveries are few and far between and often in the hands of one or two DJ's only, who just don't get heard enough. How often do you see Butch somewhere every week? Some of the stuff at Lifeline has taken years to get widely accepted with some of them now trickling down to the wider scene.

yep, Karen Bridges, Soulgirl, has kindly hosted the podcast for us. It can be found >>>>HERE<<<<

I've set up another free account, bit more bandwidth than last one. Will still be looking at a paid for one soonish. The new site is >>>HERE<<< please don't download if you've already done so lets a few others get it that way

Some of those at the top are where they are for the collections they have, some are there simply cause they spend a lot of money, nothing to do with being a professional DJ or how professional they are. In every profession others are often over looked, many a good footballer, better than many who make it are over looked cause they are too small??

still not got round to sorting a paid for account out yet, dunno whether to bother or not but if you have apple quicktime on your PC, there is a plug in for firefox then you can listen >>>HERE<<< (I think )

wouldn't mind seeing the show mesen!! Anyone recording the radio show? Just in case I don't get to listen?

He's done some great work and has some fabulous shots. I used one of Jacob for the Sir Lattimore article I did One thing I've noticed with the stages over there compared to hear is the lighting is far superior.

not 100% sure, dont recall hearing any female in the records.

ah well, look like having to wait till I set up a paid for account elsewhere.

see if you can listen >>>>HERE<<<<

There are too many who are at the so called top cause they spend a lot of money and not for the thought or imagination that they put into their sets. Not many will stick their necks out over a tune and play it cause they believe in it and it could be or will be a top record on the scene. Many play ready made biggies playing records each other already have and play. I find many of the smaller DJ's play better sets but because they cost a fraction of the price of a well known established DJ then folk don't want to know. I find it is those that who will take a chance and stick their neck out over a record are the ones who get accused of playing to themselves. Many of these little people have paid their dues in some respects, some have better collections and have been collecting longer than established names. I agree a DJ's job is to inspire and entertain but it is also the job of a Dj and the promoter to keep this scene alive and moving forward, attracting younger blood who probably aren't interested in listening to the same records for 30 years.

There is the Enchanters on Tee Pee, Atco etc??
