it's plainly obvious that it would be pointless arguing with you

but there's many on here who refer to anything not northern, i.e. after 31st December 1969 as Disco irrespective of what it actually is. And from reading this topic I still go by my earlier post of most don't actually know what Disco actually is.

old Magnificernt Men cover up I still play this out every now and then, magic record. As Mark says should get one easy and won't cost you much. Don't know of it on a Kent lp, could be wrong.

a definition.... Disco songs usually have soaring, often reverberated vocals over a steady four on the floor beat, an eighth (quaver) or sixteenth note (semi-quaver) hi-hat pattern with an open hi-hat on the off-beat, and a prominent, syncopated electric bass line. Strings, horns, electric pianos, and electric guitars create a lush background sound. Orchestral instruments such as the flute are often used for solo melodies, and unlike in rock, lead guitar is rarely used.

to quote Epic...another beautifully crafted & in depth answer

don't think most know what disco is when dismissing it as they do when often what they are referring to is just a continuation and progression of the 60's stuff.

tut...women!!! should stick to........no I'd better not

regardless of which side is better it'sstill one of the best Northern double siders!!!!

It came out on Cenco I believe as Little Darlin' although I can't be certain till I actually get the record...so if anyone got one for sale on Cenco Also released as Ozzie Osborne on Rayco. All this and more in the article about Kell I've written in the next issue of Shades Of Soul!

As featured in one of the best films ever made...The Wanderers

released two or three times under different name and labels.

300 easy. Listed one a couple of months ago and it went straight away, £300 I think it was listed for but don't think it was mint....could be wrong as grey matter not what it used to be, have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast

I can only recall seeing the same design as in the scan.

Looks like the Up All Night cd released by Instant/Charly some years ago, most of those tracks are on it. I've got it in cupboard somewhere will have a dig.

It is. Its the same as the Platters "Twilight Time" ...just a bit more up-tempo.

When around records for dunno how many years, buying selling, even just looking through lists, boxes, you soon learn what records are rare, what aren't and the sort of prices they are worth. If you have your ear to the ground so to speak, hear what is being played by who you soon realise the indemand or next indemand record and you can adjust your prices accordingly There's no logic at times though as to how some come up with the prices. But you can't always blame the seller. Ringleaders for instance numbers probably in the 1000's and yet it still fetches several hundred quid on ebay practically every week when it should be more like £50. There's plenty of other titles which exist in quantity that fetch daft money.

most copies I've seen in recent times have been nearer the £150 mark.

Another good 'un Boba. Always good listening. Look forward to the next one, in the meantime will catch up on some interviews

at least your fingers got some excersice Ged

I posted some time ago a load of terms and definitions here's the acetate and test press bits..... Acetate/Lacquer Is usually a reference cut that is made on ultra high-grade methyl cellulose sprayed onto thick aluminium discs. Reference acetates are primarily to make certain the record will sound somewhat like the tape. Often they are also made to allow a club or radio disc-jockey to play the music on turntables before it has been pressed as a normal record. Acetate is a misnomer. It is actually a Lacquer, but since so many people call these acetates, both will be used here. Test pressing A test pressing is sent back to the cutting engineer, producer and sometimes the performer, to confirm that the pressings will sound as intended. Most TP's are really just early pressings, frequently without artwork of any kind, and they are serviced to whoever as early promo's. In many cases this was done to rush the record out to radio stations to try and get immediate airplay before the complete label could be finished.

Good news about the show Mark. Just set Sky up with Starpiont, took less than a minute. To save you going looking... Setting Up... 1. Press Services 2. Press System Setup 3. Select Add Channels 4. Set Frequency to 11.390 - the remainder stay at their default settings - ie. Polarisation: V Symbol Rate (Mbaud): 27.5 FEC:2/3 5. Scroll to Find Channels, then press SELECT 6. Scroll to Starpoint Radio, press YELLOW, then press SELECT Listening 1. Select Services 2. Select Other Channels 3. Select Starpoint

I would have thought Irene and the Scotts was pretty easy to get, I see it in boxes often enough for around £30.
