a .wav file should play on most players.....

Just got a copy for my 40th

obviously not been away couple of days and saw that this wasn't posted and posted without reading........ 100 lines.......make the effort to read all the topic before replying

your right...nowt like her

First two the links not working but can see Mitchell Brathwaite and Jesse Fisher. Which Jesse Fisher?

Why is it? Hardly ever see it for sale and not seen too many over the years. There's dozens of records no where near as rare as this that fetch twice and sometimes three times the £700 quoted.

The value probably would rise depending on who played such a record but just because one (for the sake of arguement high profile) plays some forgotten record, whatever the price why should every wanna be DJ and his (or her) dog go out get it and play it, why can't they find their own forgotten record, thats my arguement. If more Dj's did this the scene would be healthier and much more diverse IMHO.

I think it's a fabulous record Win, but does every other DJ have to play it. Many of the records that are considered played out and tired are fabulous too, doesn't mean I want to hear them ever week. And I never said my taste was better than yours or anyone elses. There seems (IMHO) a lack of the individual taste you mention, it seems as though many DJ's have decided to play the same stuff with many record over exposed due in part to a lack of imagination which is a shame as there are couintless great records getting forgoten about. Too many trend followers and not enough trendsetters. Again IMHO. If you didn't do Northern Soul and you went to the local night club every week, would you put up with listening to the same top 40 for 20 years? I doubt it.

Think the first place I heardf this was at The Hoist in Conisboro', Andy Dyson spinning it. Hardly ever hear this nowadays.

A ban wouldn't be needed if DJ's used their imagination. It's like Pete said, there's no point him going out as he has a good idea of what he's going to hear as it's the same DJ's playing the same records week in week out A little imagination, drop a few records, try the odd different one now and again and things would improve no end. The era I grew up in most of the DJ's had their own identity and individual sets, they all comnpeted to play something different, that all changed with the returnees in the early 90's and not much has changed since IMHO. There's 100's of records ignored so a DJ can play the Ringleaders he paid £400 for or Ruby Andrews he paid £150 and many more besides Nowadays should be seeing the best of Northern Soul, the best records from the best part of 40 years yet it's far from it with little in the way of progression, forward thinking and least of all little imagination.

Would it, not to me it wouldn't

not that great I'm afraid.....maybe someone can post better quality

Listening to the Dee & Joe on Jubilee I've got to agree with you John, can't hear a female in there. Will have to listen to soundfile of the Dee (D) & Joe on D-Town to fully confirm I suppose

Old Gary Spencer Soul Brothers Six cover up (I think) you don't see too often.

Workin - Timmy Carr - Kee done the same again, dunno why, is fine whan I play it here

when is Danny on Mark? Started recording the show from sky as never up to listen

I don't think we disagree that much Pete

What's so funny, only the you and odd one or two who keep going on about not selling owt. I know others who are and doing pretty well out of it too. If it's that bad get a proper job

Not for all dealers they aren't. I know plenty who are doing very well and at reasonable prices as well as what some might consider expensive.

Teddy Pendergrass was the drummer when recruited in 1970, later to become lead singer. Harold Melvin was lead singer and founding member alongside Bernad Williams, Roosevelt Brodie, Jesse Gillis, Jr., and Franklin Peaker. Bernard Williams left to form a group called The Original Bluenotes who as we know recorded for Harthon and was also if memory serves me right the lead on the Victors "Hurt".

the flyer Dave....

is it an original you are giving away? anyway flip it over

If the history of the scene has shown us one thing it is the fact that ego's, conflict and self interest will always play it's part. There has always been rival promotions, with one promotion trying to undermime another or get the better of the other. If the scene was left in the hands of one small group to "run" the scene there is a danger of complacency, at least with a variety of venues promotors are kept on their toes and have to deliver or they fall by the wayside. You will never get total agreement between promoters with different ideas of how a night should be and the policy. There is still plenty of sh*t going on behind the scenes with some saying one thing in public but behaving the opposite in reality.....too many egos and too many with self interest as you put it. Also would a central venue catering for all work these days? The nighter crowd is slowly getting smaller and many have no wish to travel these days any great distance, many don't have to with nighter and soul night promotions all over the country. Most promoters are making an attempt to co-exist in some sort of harmony, the nighter planner on here for instance but clashes are bound to happen with very few dates and venues putting pressure on promoters to put an event on every month, I've still 3 dates to find for Ginger and Andy's Dusk Till Dawn promotion as Sheridans want a nighter a month, a clash of some sort will be inevitable unfortunately. Whilst I do think there are too many promotions the one thing we do have is choice, those that deliver the goods will prosper.

has Rob Smith got one? Sure I've seen and heard him play it in the past
