Both Standing Tall and Lively Ones got plenty plays during the 80's...like you say heard Standing Tall the more of the two, probably the better as well, although can't really say I hear either played out lately. The one on Gold Watch Your Step also had the odd spin as has You Better Make Your Mind Up (well I gave it the odd spin or two in the 80's and fab record too ).

Weren't the tracks either remixed or re recorded for the LP. Did she get out? Who cares biog I found....

Styrene (properly, Polystyrene). Hard, relatively inflexible plastic used to press records, mainly 7-inch singles, mainly using the Injection Moulding process. The material is heated to a liquid form and is then squirted or injected into the closed stampers in the press. This requires that the labels be either glued or painted on after the record leaves the press. The cost savings to the manufacturer comes from the extended life of the stampers because of the lack of a heating cycle to the stampers. The material can also be reused without noticeable change to its moulding properties. Styrene records will therefore usually have very quiet surfaces when found in an UNPLAYED Mint condition, but unfortunately they will wear to a noisy condition rapidly, especially if played with a bad stylus or an improperly tracking tone arm. They also are more prone to Cue Burn. The Columbia Records Pittman, New Jersey pressing plant was once the major source of Injection Moulded Styrene pressings, and pressings from this plant are found on MANY small labels. Look for the glued-on labels. Painted-on labels can be found on records from the Amy/Bell/Mala group. Vinyl (properly Polyvinyl Chloride). Relatively flexible material used since the early 1930s to make non-breakable records. Its fumes are an acknowledged carcinogen, so don't breathe in deeply when you have your next holy burning of Beatles or back-masked devil-worship records. :-) Usually pressed by Compression Moulding which allows the label to be an integral part of the pressing itself. This process also requires that there be extra material which spills out the sides of the press, therefore this extra material is routinely ground up and re-used. Because vinyl does not re-heat and re-cool to a smooth, glossy surface, the excessive use of re-grind mixed in with Virgin Vinyl can account for the inherently noisy surface of even unplayed Mint examples of the cheap pressings that some record companies used. Noise can be seen AND HEARD by looking at and/or playing the un-grooved surface of the lead-in and lead-out areas. If this area looks or sounds grainy, then the grooves will also have some of this grainy background sound. The stampers used for the compression moulding process will start to break down after only 1,000 pressings because they are forced to expand and contract when heated by steam at the start of the pressing cycle and then cooled to solidify the record. Some companies routinely overused their stampers for their pop record series.

I also heard it had been booted but don't know how true the rumour.

tough to sell as pretty unknown to dancefloor. If better known would fetch nearer it's value IMHO. Far harder than many records that fetch 4/500 (and much more) these days.

Probably a release on Flaming Arrow, both labels shared the same numbering system I think.

What year do you think Flash M was first played Steve? Mouse (wilton) one of the first to play it, dunno if the first.

Knew it had spins years back, should have realised it was by someone with your impccable taste you'd be surprised how many still don't know it. I've had someone come up to the decks to see what it is everytime I've played it, long time collectors at that.

Hi Sean, What year are the unreleased tracks? Personally 60's or 70's I would get a cut done, as I said never see a cd player at a venue. Like you I wonder if the northern scene is ready for a cd of unreleased stuff. If for the sake of arguement cds were acceptable as long as it was unreleased, where do you draw the line? Do you stick to the stuff collectors acquire from their sources that only they have access to? Do you allow all the unreleased stuff on Kent/Goldmone & Grapevine cds that are generally available? Any later than the 70's and they would be of little interest to the northern scene and as a consequence acceptable on cd by the more modern scene I would guess. So I can't really answer your question? Probably some of the younger elements of the scene wouldn't have a problem with cds and probably can't see what all the fuss is about as it is cd's they have grown up with and probably only recently discovered vinyl But for the older generations who have been brought up on vinyl they may not be quite ready for the departure from vinyl to little silver discs Either way I don't think this arguement will ever be settled, same as oldies vs. newies and besides what would forums have to argue about it they were settled

Hi Sean The above is just my view on how I see things, I'd sooner play a vinyl carver than a cd but I've been brought up on the ethos that the Northern Soul Scene is all about searching for and playing rare and obscure US soul records (whatever the price, cheap or expensive). Dunno about you or anyone else but how many cd players do you see at a Northern Soul venue? From all the venues I've DJ'ed at hardly any The vast majority of promoters have all expected vinyl, be it original or a cut of an unissued track. Also if I was travelling 200 miles I wouldn't want to get there and hear someone playing a cd I can get from the local record store, a boot or a pressing, I can stay close to home and get that. I want to travel and hear DJ playing stuff I can't easily obtain although thats getting mighty hard now with the amount of stuff on cd etc, I want to see DJ's using their knowledge gained over years of tirelessly searching for the obscure record they've been searching for years to find, I want to hear a set where some thought and imagination has gone into, something that doesn't go into DJing with the latest CD release of Northern rarities and obscurities. I would however agree wholeheartedly about the playing of illegal issues of records, regardless of the fact they own the original or not. Now the modern scene and cds is a different kettle of fish because in many cases the original format is cd as vinyl no longer used by many record companies except for 12 inch releases which aren't always suitable for DJing with unless you have to keep nipping to the bar and lav Dunno who wrote the unwritten rules but some bright spark once said rules are meant to be broken but this is one instance I tend to disagree. Look forward to that pint sometime soon, got a week or so off over Christmas, if at home and about will drop you a PM

Just Daryl Hall was a member of the Temptones although I might have read somewhere that Oates was used as a musician along the lines somewhere. The Ringleaders were Willie Hawkins, Edgar Donahue, Vandy Lane and Brent Anderson. Baz the Ringleader were previously known as 4 Temples and All Of My Life is the acetate.

I'll have forgotten by tomorrow can someone remind Baz to remind me

all you do Baz is in your recording program when its recorded, highlight the bit you want to cut with your mouse, i.e start at beginning and drag across till ten minutes in and then cut, open new file and paste, save as mp3, piece of piss Save the file first.

I might set recorder going and see what happens, won't be about after 8 though

tis Philly one Baz. Other one from Cincinatti. AHWTG also on J-Rude. I've a file of AHWTG on the PC and BSMF on a tape ofr cd somewhere but I can't post clips yet.

£600/700.

anyone recording tonights show? not sure if I'll be about to record?

Not seen one for a while. T'other side very good as well, infact the better side IMHO
