go to all types of venues Win. There aren't always the progressive venues to go to, some that do claim to be progressive offer little by way of choice at times. I also see playlists posted and whilst I agree that doesn't give the full flavour of the night with regards to atmosphere etc, most are confirm my opinions and most are enough to put me off travelling to the venue in question.

actually I usually say "there's no soul in an instrumental"

no matter how much you love Miss Heartbreaker, you only have to do a little home work to find it's value and even less to probably find a copy. which one...there's three records mentioned in your reply

whether someone goes out once a week, once a month or every three months...they are gonna hear the Constellations every time they do go out......why settle for this.....it's like playing this weeks top forty in a club for the next 3 or 4 years I have to disagree with you about those out week in week out naturally progressing, I've seen very little evidence of this at the majority of venues, quite the opposite in fact at most The scene at the moment is pretty stale IMHO with little imagination.

not always. isn't it about time some dj's got there own identity and created a diferent demand and not always followed the flock?

anyone who pays more for Miss Heartbreaker wants there head looking at. Haven't seen any evidence mind of it rising in value? Always around the £15 mark, probably less on e-bay.

hardly hear JMM these days and can't remember last time I heard Jimmy Ricks played out? Which venues did you hear these at south of the border? Which venue played mid tempo all might apart from your set? I go to enough venues and most of the music played are dancers.

what stupid statements but coming from someone who prefers Elvis and the Banana Splits to many far superior soul records it doesn't surprise me most records are underplayed cause there to many dj's all chasing and playing the same records As for R&B it should be in a mod club where it and you belong by the sounds of it, certainly the early stuff and the rock and roll masquerading as soul/northern soul

I played it at Percebridge...you was there that night Butch's version is an unreleased acetate...it has male backing...something the two issues don't have for some reason. The issues actually sound unfinished to me when played alongside Butch's version

awesome record, play it often in my sets, doesn't get any better IMO. Issued twice as well, both different takes. Plus the studio acetate of Butch's, different take again. 5 more featured in my sets from time to time.... Chimes - Beginning Of My Life - Down Top Earth Benny Latimore - Girl I Got News For You - Dade Nick Allen - Hard Way To Go - Walas Mike & Censations - Don't Mess With Me - Highland Hestitations - Is That The Way To Treat A Girl(You Bet It Is) - GWP

boring and monotonous regardless of who the drummer is you gotta be under the influence of something to want to hear summat like this

Hi John, can remember some years ago someone telling me they saw multiple copies of EP at Soul Bowl, how many, elaborating with the truth dunno mate but I've no rewason to disbelieve you either. The subject came up re: EP at Cleethoprpes last year after one went for a large sum and John Anderson himself said he had a 50 box? He did also say the condition wasn't great as well. Don't doubt it's rarity after all it hardly ever comes up for sale. Also agree with you regarding Butch Time for bed

One since moved on John, probably more than what they said too I'll see what other says when I see 'em. Always different tho' when something sold for such a price, usually someone wants the same

two mates after seeing the one recently on ebay both said "they could have had mine for £2k"

Have seen this go for as much as £60 in recent times.

Thought there was plenty of Eddie Parkers about in collections. Sure John Anderson had a box of at least 50 and he was saying he sold them for about a quid a piece. I think the Poets would still fetch £1500 or thereabouts, maybe more, rarer than Eddie Parker IMO. Still only the 3 of Margaret Little, agree with the Prophets well worth it. I would never imagined the Magnetics going for what it did, I know it doesn't come up for sale very often but.....

Sid Jones has (or had last week) an Atco demo.

abrasive telephone manner no excuse for bad manners especially when some one is telephoning with the intention of buying something

This record has been turning up for the last 4 years or so according to the wisest of the wise It's actually been known about since mid 90's and still very few copies, what one known issue? handful of demos??? When it does show it's more than £500 If records like the Cashmeres can go for $2k, Bill Bush for £1500 etc etc, then £500 for Stormie Wynters is laughable by comparison.

I though most of the origianl raves were in fields, barns, quarry's...anywhere away from prying eyes

they may have had a wider more commercial appeal but as a dance scene it's still underground...it's hardly your saturday night clubbing scene is it?

this is the one posted on here some time back....
