BIG 8 Val

APACHES - Trying To Make Ends Meet vg++ Storming soul/funk tune as played by Mr Darge. Flip is one of the most sublime pieces of xover aroung 'Just another Lazy day' offers.......soooooooooooooooocheap and so rare!

I know. went for big money on JMs and will again...ha!

SURELY THIS IS OFF TOPIC?

That would be great? Go on then.?

Great question. answer please?

very articulate answer!

Any chance of a sound file of this "best ever Ian Levine northern soul production"? It sound promising... Great question. Answer please?

GREAT AND INTELLIGENT QUESTION JAMES. Mike, how can you have a thread where there is only a selective response to questions, its unheard of. Levine needs to answer all relevent and politely put questions or close this ridiculous thread! You cannot operate a thread where he decides what to answer, thats just a PROPOGANDA thread! posted again, because all you seem to have done is move it and not give a reply Mike? I could just start posting hundreds of questions if you like? then we can have Levine ignore page upon page?

No, please Ian , battle on! Its for us I know and its really appreciated that your such a little soldier. Keep it up we love all these really old, tired and oft repeated gems. Great stuff!

No it not. Its a question?

Same old 'Queen of Fools', 'butternut', indulgent, self perpetuating, post menopausal, ego massaging, trite, purile, marketing rubbish. James has actually asked pertinent questions. The fact that this is an 'open' forum, means that, by selecting individuals (who challenge your caesar syndrome ) and refusing to answer their questions, you are breaking the RULES of the forum. I guess if a third or fourth or fourteenth person came on to ask questions that didnt agree with you self inflated ego, your list would grow? McCarthy comes to mind! Now i see this thread has become a record SALES site 300 for £300 or whatever 'petticoat lane' type 'soul barrow 'deal you are offering! SHOULDN'T THAT BE IN SALES MIKE?. As ever this thread has turned into selling something....although it was always aimed at selling the 'myth' that was (not is) Levine. It is now a record sales thread? Funny how when Levine starts a thread, a host of previously unheard or quiet members (lets call them cronies for now) start appearing and posting. Almost as if it was a planned assault on the site. Anyway, Im hoping that I AM one of the ones that 'BIG L' is refusing to answer. His previous efforts were so far short of any intellect or fact, it would surely be a waste of time. I cant bear the 'hissy' fits! Ill keep watching the thread for the record sales, Im sure they will appear again. As for Ian discovering 400/4000 whatever. He played a lot of stuff first, but only becauase he was one of the few with the wealth to travel to the USA and grab all that stuff. As i have said before, discovering and 'breakin' tunes are two very different things. Ian tended to go for the 'ego' based 'I played it first' approach and move on, very, very quickly. almost like someone on a 'food' binge! Barely tasting what was there!.....eventually moving on to pure 'pop'. Pure sugar! Whilst the scene DID carry on without him. It didn't miss him for even a micro second! He DID miss that whole VERY IMPORTANT period, he was f--k all to do with it and no amount of trying to remind us of his 'past contribution' can make up for that. He was making pop records and people on the scene were finding, breaking and dancing to 'soul' records. Has beens are so boring. Why not bring out a big 'FAT' book Ian. Or are you doing that and this is to wet the appetites of the desperate? Or, better still, just put a link to your web site and do it on there?

F--king hell ! This guy rivals Caligulla in his self obsession! Why dont you do this on your OWN SITE Ian? You really need some help with this menopause thing your going through......

RIGHT! Some of us carried on and whats Mr Levines view on Stafford, 100 club etc. The venues that really moved the scene forward? Had he given up to make pop records then?

Nice! sold Quintessents to Mr Sean Chapman, hope hes playing it out. sounds great.

Whats Movin on? Forget that, I just saw it at the top! Duh!
