no, it's not just you Joe.

the only people the promoters should be making happy is the paying customer, not their mates with a dj set. Unfortunately too much of this these days

best venue, tough one as so many over the years. Probably the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield, only half a dozen or so niters but a great venue. Best current venue, Lifeline. Best Dj, Butch.

probably didn't go down too well with todays dancers although some did dance. Suppose with records like that is when you play it, play 6 up tempo tracks, drop one in like that and the dancers might be glad of a plodder

45 minute sets are ok if you have another later on. 30 minutes sets ruin the night for me as more often than not the music is all over the place, different styles/genres, sets don't flow.

Bobby Bryd, not forgotten, it's just too cheap for most to DJ with Orthea Barnes, had many a spin nover the years. I've played the odd time over the last few years along with her Your Picture On The Wall.

I've seen it sell no problems at all for £250 and £300 in recent months. Mate had one at £200 and he could have sold dozens of times over. I've old lists of Andy Dysons from 1993ish and it was £15 on one of them. Wasn't this a one hit find (bit like the Ringleaders although nowhere near as many) with copies just being re-circulated amongst collectors and the market? Don't recall this being found in any great numbers for many years.

I reckon you are right Byrney, I'll have to dig the Echoes out and check.

Did Shaun run it before Guy? Can only remember Guy originally about '86/'87. MIck Lyons taking over in later years but the music just wasn't the same which was a shame as it was decent venue. Guy later went on to another Tony's Empress Ballroom in Mexborough, some great nights there too. Have the Old Grey Whistle Test on video, just copied it to DVD.

I'll back you up Ken, Guy's nighters were top notch alweays the top dj's of the time. Flyer attached and another.....

The Phil La Of Soul outing is called My Love My love/Go Go Annie (307). Little_John_Bowie___My_Love__My_Love___Phil_La_of_Soul.mp3

his side-kick

who's Joe

have seen between £100 and £150

It's one of those I got sick of hearing, seem to hear it at every venue Dunno why it still retains such a high price either, quite a few out there and fair few turned up not so long ago. Seemed to be a regular fixture on e-bay for a while.

been playing this regular at venues like Sheridans and Middleton. Always someone comes up and asks what it is. Sheridans two once came up, found out what it was and went into the record bar and bought a copy. Old Magnificent Men cover up if memory serves me right

been a couple or so over the last 12 months, around the $1000 mark.

think listed O'Jays for £30 or £40 few months ago

gotta agree, think it's great. Soundfile of the flip anyone (You Can't Destroy My Love), can't wait till the weekend to listen

No real demand Mark as hardly anyone plays it. Only one I can say for sure is Andy Dyson. He also played it on Reflections radio show last year when we came north of the border and got some good feedback over it.

would have thought at least twice that as already said very rare and hardly ever comes up for sale.

I agree Ken me owd...have seen it sell for no problems at all @ £250 and £300

championed this for some time now. gave it a spin on Mark's Solar show as well. Great choice

slowie but a goodie, cheap as well.... Headliners___I_m_So_Tired___Val.mp3
