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

Cheers steve Jim

Thanks dave is it on your site? Jim

Sorted on Oscar Weathers Thanks for responses Jim

Thanks dave A list of all the un released ones would be great Best Jim

Hi all Interested in picking up some un-released singles if that makes sense What i mean is, stuff that has been pressed from un-issued tapes etc. similar to Kent/Numero etc Was wondering if anyone has done a list (the thread has probably been done before) Thanks in advance Jim

Thanks Arron What name does he go by on here?

Emotions sorted Still after Oscar Weathers

Couple of cheapies Emotions - Stealing Love - Volt Oscar Weathers - Just to prove I love you - Top & Bottom PM with price and condition - please no silly prices and no "make me an offer" Thanks

Sister love is an absolute brilliant deep soul record

So must be worth £50 then

Bump

Ha bloody ha Thanks for the offer

PM with price and condition - please no silly prices or "make me an offer" Thanks

perfect Chalky, got it spot on

thanks, didnt realise that great deep soul record

this is the flip to "dont wanna be your fool", but will cost you more than £30 - probably £250 to £300 i didn't think it had came out on another single without this flip, but i may be wrong jim

I think I'm on it sometimes!!! Never mind all in good humour I hope?

Thanks Chalky The record was indeed sold and I commented that its too fuckin expensive - end off!!! I really don't want to piss a seller or a buyer off, but you know what this is a forum and my comment is bloody justified By the consensus of the replies, all people agree I was just the one that commented what everyone else was thinking - I stand by that - for you who don't like to comment, go read your Woman's Own magazine!!!

Agree with that Byrney, if anyone can get a dance floor going it is without doubt Colin - really looking forward to hearing him
