great memories of Guys Soultown all-nighters - many DJ's at the top of their game back then

well said Stevie G exactly what i (and probably many others) was thinking, although if i have a few beers tonight, mines would be full of expletives and get me banned from SS.....it might be worth it in the words of Del Boy...."what a plonker"

tell you what Alan, you like those foreigners !

yes i'm beginning to think the same - sooty sure is a "big hit for himself" SOOTY, you quote - I do recall being the only one Nationally to spin many of the tunes I listed during the period designated....up North and down sarf....at the major Nighter venues including my own St Ives and the Maltings.what with him DJ'ing Nationally!!! firstly, reference this quote - i doubt it, and secondly as Chalky quotes, most had probably dropped them by that time! WTF - I've been on the scene a few years and NEVER heard ANYONE use such a stupid phrase as being a NATIONAL DJ and yes Chalky, not one "newie" listed Sooty, by "bigging yourself up" like this, you sure are leaving yourself open to negative feedback!!!

hi steve glad its not just me!

Please could someone translate all of the above ramblings for me? Is it just me?

this looks great - photos are fascinating

remember buying the album from Soul Bowl in late 80's for a tenner - something about "waltz and choir?" if i remember right - only bought it because i had a great ballad on a 45 - cant remember what the album was like to be honest - sold it a long time ago anyway!

What the **** you on about man??????? Are you on drugs?

Yes indeed Ady, long, long, long, before!!!

Kim Tolliver - Where Were You - Hope this link works? www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB9nFhzQtCY

Thanks Richards - your standards are slipping - lol!!!

Don't suppose anyone has a clip of ALL sides just to compare - Richard - Premium Stuff?

Thanks Byrnie, glad to see you've got my back mate! cheers jim

Nice one Vin, never thought of that comparison

Nice one Byrnie - at least you still have hair - well I hope it's yours and not a "highland" wish I still had mine - I really miss it

Good morning sylvia you have obviously checked my profile and figured out I am 40!!!! - well firstly, you've got your numbers wrong!!!! i am 50 (well in 2 weeks time that is - PM me for my address if you want to send me a present) therefore, having been into northern from the age of 14 (that's 36 years in case you still can't count!!!) CONSUMERS as you call them, can go to whatever they bloody like - however the point I make ( which is still 100% spot on as most on the thread agree) is that this FLUFFY scene that we seem to be witnessing is SO far removed from what it once was BTW I've checked your profile and see that you are indeed a fair bit older than I am - I would have therefore thought that if you have a northern background, then you may have understood Some people just don't get it! regards jim

actually think the film is in with a really good chance in just watched a couple of clips of the others and I suppose the main threat to Elaine's film winning would probably be Pride, about the miners strike - it actually looks pretty decent anyway here's hoping she wins ,

Shit weather is character building dave from a cold central scotland!

Sorry Dave, didn't realise that!

Don't you have a telly?

Well Pompeylor, as you started the adverse comments about the film - you don't seem to have much of a comeback!

Oops forgot this one- Debbie Taylor - I Don't Wanna Leave You magical !

Must agree with you on Four Tops - Ask The Lonely - was the ever a better record put to vinyl? if there is I'd like to hear it - quite simply THE best record ever made (alongside Marvin's "What's Going On" of coarse, oh and Marvin's "Save The Children"

Hi i have season 1, 2 and 5 - £25 for the set plus postage jim
