If You've Got To Love Somebody - KoKo Price and availability please. Know it says cancelled on the Kent cd but have seen a scan of the demo.

been to venues and read the look back from some the next day (often the promoters mate) and often wondered if they were at the same venue as me I take very little notice of lookbacks and when I do read them I take them with a pinch of salt unless I was there.

I said in post 15 it was too bad a price

quick dozen or so of top of me head.....

Passions - High Jacked - Tower Hesitations - No Brags Just Facts - GWP

£400

personally don't think Manship's guide is too far of the mark for a mint copy and have seen it sell for more. $455 not too bad a price I guess.

'67 I think. Sure it was Jerry Hipkiss who posted the flyer originally.

certain he died couple of years ago

This'll be the flyer for the "Drifters" Malc.....

I might be interested depending on the theme and how much spare time I have.

Didn't they return last year/year before??? Did a show in Derby. Sure they did and I was going until some last minute hitch.

Spyder should have appeared at Prestatyn few years ago. From what I can gather the authorities in the states wouldn't let him leave the country. Freddie Hughes would be good!!

Ralph Soul Jackson back performing. Did some shows with Roscoe Robinson and Otis Clay last year/year before and Andy dj'ed at another last year with Ralph, Roscoe and Herman Hitson. We very nearly got Ralkph over as well couple of years ago, last minute problems. Can probably still get him and Herman Hitson over if anyone interested. Some photos of Ralph, Roscoe Robinson and Otis Clay performing can be viewed at my Flickr account HERE they were sent by Ralph's manager John Ciba and we used them for publicity when we attempted to bring Ralph over here.

I'll be surprised if someone doesn't bite yer hand off for the Wallace Johnson.

found the podcast download it HERE

Ta but if I'd got a spare 2 or 3 hours I'd sit and listen I've got sony soundforge that does everything that easy recorder does, and more. I'll look for the podcast.

John Manship sells the original 60's brown paper sleeves.

presume it records in real time as the show is playing, I can do all that with soundforge...I just want to download the whole show and listen at my leisure rather than keep having to restart the stream.

can the show be downloaded? rather than just a stream, maybe then I won't have to keep listening tho the bits I've already heard

I'm half way through it, can't sit down for long enough. Must download it!!!! Fantastic stuff though, Sean has great taste in music

Always thought Syng McGowan was £120, £150 tops. Its not like you see a copy just every couple of years is it, it does come up for sale somewhere fairly regularly.

Mick H has it too, Andy Rix has/had full Shrine collection, seen Rob Thomas play it out too.

only just noticed but like I said most soul nights especially are oldies based, with the odd 70's northern and with the guest who normally does and hour throwing in some biggies? I would think most DJ's can cater for that. Like I said most DJ's get known for playing a certain style, basically because they aren't given the time to expand or diversify. I would say that given the chance there are plenty of DJ's who could rise to the challenge....there's also plenty who would fall by the wayside too. The trouble for me is with a five hour soul night and five DJ's, maybe 4 if the promoter does first and last set, there's little option to play a varied night as like Barry says the majority of DJ's would stay in their comfort zone, afraid to try something different, that to me is lazy djing. Like Jayne said, it's down to the promoters if change was to happen but most promoters are afraid to move away from the comfort zone too.

I disagree with you. The majority of the DJ's are collectors and collect all styles. They get put in a position that because they only get an hour that they are forced to play the biggies and indemanders, they aren't allowed to anythging else really. The likes of Butch, Andy Dyson, Mick H, Kitch, Arthuir, Sam etc can play right across the board and do so, 60's, 70's oldies, newies whatever. Butch is getting asked quite a bit to do two, three and four hour sets, he's good enough and has a collection that can cater for all tastes, I know plenty of others who can do the same as well. Like I said it would then be up to others to show what they can do. Those who can't fall by the wayside and lets face it that can't be a bad thing. Lets face it most soul venues aren't that diverse, basically 60's and 70's soul music, can't be too much to ask a dj to mix it up a bit can it????

I would say that the soul scene is lazy with it's delivery, has been for many years now with most dj's trotting out the same stuff. Less DJ's with longer sets would sort the good from the bad and make the bad become better therefore increasing the quality and diversity of the music all round. I'd be in favour of just three or four DJ's at an all-nighter with sets of two hours plus each. Soul nights give the guest three hours with someone doing the early hour and the last hour of a five hour soul night. If nothing else we would find out just who are the good dj's.
