Hi Richard I will hopefully get tuned in for the show Jim

Spot on Chalky, this is what nighters are all about Frantic, even messy at times, raw soul that if you weren't dancing to it when it got played at first by Butch, then you missed out on something very special indeed - and I don't just mean the actual record, I mean the atmosphere it created, the buzz it created, the mystique as you say Chalky - friggin brilliant to just "be at one with the record" for those few minutes, then BANG, butch would follow it with G Davis & R Tyler (Walter and the admirations) Amazing nighter records, and will never be equalled Only my opinion of coarse!!!

Here here Tony Magical times indeed

Yes probably

Hi Peter I haven't counted, but I bet if you looked there has been one for sale almost very day for the fast couple of weeks Might be a slight exaggeration, but it seems its not that rare anymore Has it been re-pressed I wonder? Jim

Am I imagining things or are there more of these for sale at the moment than bloody Bettye Swan "Kiss My Love Goodbye"? I assume someone has turned up a load? Is so, why is it still so expensive? Just thought I'd ask?

Sometimes things are just better when you are OYT! I suppose just part of the scene that was!

Any more?

have a rough copy that i would like to upgrade please PM with price and condition & PLEASE no silly prices or "make me an offer" thanks

Will say one ting for JM, he sure knows how to drum up some excitement within his marketplace - fair play to him

Thanks Richard Strange indeed, but interesting just the same Thanks for the scan Jim

Hi andy, Seems that the 689 is very hard indeed At present the 219 mix sounds better to me, but probably because i am more used to it Would need to hear the 689 a few more times But indeed a great record, will need to pick up a decent one as the one i have is a bit rough Best Jim

Brilliant Richard Many thanks Jim

Many thanks Richard that's very helpful indeed Cheers Anyone got a sound clip from the 689 mix? Jim

Hi all I have this on a pretty beat up copy with the "1065 / 219 mix" as its called I know this came out with another "mix" on the same label, but can't seem to find a sound lip on you tube as they are all the same as the one I have Can anyone help and give some info - is the other mix rarer?, was it withdrawn etc? Thanks Jim

Must agree with you steve Don't know about a bargain as such on its own, but compared to some of the "overpriced good records" and the "overpriced crap" on SS, then it would be a bargain I do think its quite funny though when most of the sellers who are looking for that little too much when they post here, end up with multiple posts in the following days, offering them at more realistic prices Always better to "sell" at a realistic price quickly, than hold onto something at a "silly price for weeks and months" Good example of this is Pete S on here, he sells records at realistic prices and sells them quickly It's not rocket science!! Jim

Well said Julie I'm with Harry on this, from the ones that I knew, your records are/were priced fairly Better to sell them than have them price another £10 or £15 higher and not sell them Sorry to hear about your job, but from someone who is starting from scratch again in buying records, there are loads of stuff still out there that you can pick up when times are better Take care Jim

You're bang on there Chalky, and this is the reason many of us stayed on the scene for so long, because there were genuine good people having a good time and not giving a f**k I remember distinctly meeting most of these characters back in the mid 80's, and mad yes they were, but also great blokes Compare this video link with some of the many recent "northern soul" videos on you tube showing lager swilling fat fu***rs and tables filled with beer everywhere - 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT scenes and probably the reason most of us don't travel anywhere Another interesting thing about comparing these videos is the "passion and individualism" that is very apparant at the 100 club, again compare that with recent vids on you tube and you just have people who don't show any passion (probably cause they are too pissed ), most cant dance and those that attempt dance like something from the 70's in a bad "traditional" way if you know what I mean - no individuals there to be seen ANYWHERE!!!! Aother thing that doesnt seem to be apart, is the desperation to dance to a record when those first couple of beats start!! I remember distinctly being in places like Blackburn in the mid 80's and literally "pushing" people out of the way to get a space on the floor when I heard the first few bars of Butch's Just Brothers or G. Davis & R. Tyler (as it was known as at the time) or Dianne Lewis etc. etc. Passion and enthusiasm were abound then and nobody was afraid to show it Although i dont travel anymore, i do know one thing - The scene back then for me (mid 80's to early/mid 90's) was something to be proud of and the characters that went with it it made it all the better End of rant!! Have a good rest of weekend Jim

Great clip Byrney, isn't that stan at 3.00 too?

Richard You really need to get out more mate! Jim

Planning to get a listen to it tonight - when the wife's not looking!!!!

Truth - come back home One of THE best ballads you will ever hear

Cheers

Cheers steve Jim
