Limited Pressed 45s
much of the stuff from 60's has either got lost, disappeared or been destroyed, much of it unobtainable whilst the likes of Frank Popp are still out there.....you can't compare IMO.

Dave Howard On Ebay
I thought the idea was to encourage discussion not mock those who take the time to post and discourage discussion. Christ, forums neeed all the encouragement they can get right now as most just going round in circles with same discussions

Dave Howard On Ebay
what a crock o'shite....dunno where they get their idea of what Northern Soul is and there's 28 bids as well, even more amazing considering you can listen to it. Why anyone would bid on that after listening is beyond me

Beat Ballads - Love 'em Or Hate 'em
anyone mentioned Don & Juan - Heartbreaking Truth yet?

Beat Ballads - Love 'em Or Hate 'em
there's nothing wrong with a beat ballad or two in a set IMHO. Mid tempo and beat ballads is my prefered listening at home but I'm not that daft to think you can get a way with a full set of 'em...anyway I prefer to hear dancers, mid tempo moovers when out but I still think there is always room for the odd quality beat ballad or two in a set if done right

June Conquest
June Conquest is both an extraordinary, and extraordinarily (and undeservedly) obscure soul singer. During the early '60s, she released a pair of singles, "Almost Persuaded" under her own name, and a duet with a man known only as the Demon on "The Only Way to Correct a Mistake (Is to Make One)." She was based in Houston around the time of the latter record, which, like its predecessor, failed to chart, and have since become choice collector's items. By 1966, Conquest was based in Chicago and signed to Curtis Mayfield's short-lived Windy C label, where she only cut one single, "Take Care." Mayfield obviously had a lot of faith in her ability, signing her to Curtom when he organized the company in 1968. Her single "What's This I See" was the first record ever issued by the new label and became a serious local hit in Chicago. Despite this encouraging start, however, Conquest's solo recording career never took off. She next appeared a year later in a duet setting. The idea had been to team Conquest with Sam Cooke's brother L.C. Cooke, who was a pretty formidable soul singer in his own right, but he didn't make the sessions. Instead, Donny Hathaway, who had never before cut records outside the setting of the Mayfield Singers or as a backup singer on various Windy C and Curtom sides, stepped in. It was the start of an auspicious career, but not for Conquest. Donny & June, as they were billed, didn't tear the charts up with "I Thank You," "Just Another Reason," or their remake of "What's This I See," but the sound they got anticipated Hathaway's subsequent celebrated duets with Roberta Flack. Indeed, the single "I Thank You," which went almost unnoticed in 1969, finally came into its own three years later, reaching number 41 on the R&B listings and number 94 pop when it was reissued in the wake of Hathaway's success with Flack. It wasn't enough to rescue Conquest's recording career, however; she never cut another record and later gave up singing. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

I just had to double check my original post

Is Pitching Up Acceptable?
sure will be good to see you both again
-
Price Please ?
More like £50 Shute. Have seen as high as £75 but £50 a fair price. 5 inch Erect issue is almost 7 minutes long.....sure Acid Jazz is a shorter re-mixed version, slow intro not as long for a start, not 100% sure about the acid jazz release but sure someone will confirm.

I agree with the pair of you, thats why it can be a bugger to shift but like I said it's far rarer than the price reflects.

Thank Fcuk It's Friday.... Part 2
most burning programs come with a recorder these days, Roxio, Nero etc. Many software makers have a free trial version for you to download, soundforge (which is what I use) etc, these usually give you 30 or 60 days to try them out then you have to pay for full version

Thank Fcuk It's Friday.... Part 2
yep, standard headphone socket down to 3.5mm socket (I think thats correct size) for soundcard, explain at Maplins and they will put you right. As for software sure someone on here will point you in the right direction

Personally think it's rarer than a 400-800 price would suggest...always rated this nearer £1000. Records like the Ringleaders and Tangeers are £400 and they don't come close in rarity
-
Price?
I would say Nicky Newarkers more like £500. LaShawn Collins is sublime

What Tunes In Your Opinion Would Work At A Student Night?
once anyone has had a few drinks at party or student night out I doubt they even realise what they are dancing too Isn't the idea to get them dancing to something that they are gonna want to come back too? All-nighter (even your average soul night) music is a long way from mainstream motown you would hear at a party.
