Only need Deuces Wild now. Thanks Dave

Been asked by a very good friend if i can ask on here for a couple of mp3's for him. Need them before next March's Prestatyn & if you can send e'm me i'll tell you why as it's important to him. They are, Keep On by Deuces Wild & Take me back by The Flock. Would be really grateful if somebody could send e'm me via pm or e mail e'm me at modernism@blueyonder.co.uk Thanks for looking, Mart...

Played in't net didn't you Steve

Have been asked by Geoff & Martin from Soul Intent if i could post this up on here as they're not members of this site but quite a few of they're regular punters are. "Due to circumstances beyond our control Soul Intent will now be moving to The Prince Of Wales at Renishaw near jct 30 of the M1" Soul Intent will still take place on the 2nd friday of each month as usual. Click on the following link for more info. https://www.modernsoul.net/ Realise this should have probably been posted in events but felt it would be read by more folks here & Geoff & Martin don't want anybody not realising & turning up at the old venue & having a wasted journey. Good luck with the new venue guy's, Mart...

I'd say it's rarest on Lotusland by the amount of time we have waited for the re-issue Any news on it Andy?

Hi Simon, Got an original of the Pages & everybody says it's a boot when they see it until they check the matrix. Like John says thats the only definite way to tell. A lot (but not all) of originals have offset labels so the centre hole cuts into the title. Mine dosen't so thats why folks think it's a boot. Also not all the boots are that smudgy so be careful. Funny thing is over the years i've seen more originals than boots so i'd say the boots are pretty scarce. Another one that throws a spanner into the works is ZZ & Co & to this day i still don't know the difference. Heard the so called boots were in fact originals & the so called originals were 2nd issues. Look very similar to the Pages boots. Any connection John?

Bloody hell Sean, you got a good memory. Pass the old club 60 every morning on my way to work on Shalesmoor & the old doorway is still there to the cellar bar. The upstairs is a printers & i'd love to ask if i could have a look downstairs one day but he'd probably think i was mad (no comments!). Remember John O'Hara as he used to live in a flat on Harcourt Rd just below my Dads house. Had a Transit van with O'Hara's Playboys painted on the side. O'Hara's playboys moved to Germany i think & had a big following there in the 70s & 80s. Wonder what John O'Hara is up to now? Probably doing backstreet clubs with the likes of Frank White if he's still with us, hope he is.

Will pm it you Simon.

Errr i can't Shane. Not my bit of the site C'mon Baz, help him out mate.

& so you should be sorry. Oh how the mighty have fallen. All that power you once had & now it's all mine. Mine ya hear, all mine Well mine & Baz's.

Sorry Shane but i'd rather listen to Etta James than some poor imitation. Not only that, it's in the wrong part of the forum & who's gonna move it now youre gone . Should have used the clip player as well. Tut tut.....

Lets Stay Together - ? - white label test press 12500 refosoul Knew i had the cover of i'll be around somewhere & this is on the other side. No info on the artist though as it's on a white label test press. Guy sure can sing though whoever he is.

Just found the clip that Kenny posted up so you can have a listen. dont break that rule - marvell love -new world recordings 11022 refosoul Also worth looking out for Yesterdays Love by J D Jones on the same label. Very similar & if you like 1 you should like e'm both.

Just PM'd you Steve.

Too right Sean. Here's another that fits in nicely with the above list. Give A Smile - Betty Wright - 10475 refosoul Back to the sound quality topic though. Given the choice between a 7" or a 12" i'll always go for the 12" if possible as the sound quality's far superior but what's the best, a 12" that plays at 33rpm or a 12" that plays at 45rpm? Obviously the grooves are closer together on the 45rpm copy but it spins faster so what's the difference from a sound point of view?

Wish i'd known this before we booked you Sean Tell ya what Quinvy, i wish i was as misinformed as Sean. What he don't know ain't worth knowing

Put the Modernism tag on hold for now Sean. Somehow it don't sound right for stuff that's over 30 years old if you know what i mean. Gonna concentrate on Quality (hey we got you kicking things off) ahead of Quantity at the new venue & probably only have 4 or 5 nights a year & hopefully try not to clash with anything else. As for the music policy, gonna try to keep it as varied as possible playing stuff from the 70s through to present day releases & if we get the opportunity to bring in DJ's who are new to the South Yorkshire folks we're up for it. Anyway back on topic. Seems to me that crossover is an uncomfatable partner on the Modern scene & the Northern scene too for many. The majority of the Northern crowd like there Northern with a bit of Crossover on the side & the same goes for most on the Modern scene too. Before anybody comes on to shout me down i think the Crown at Spondon proves my point perfectly. Central location, great room & most importantly bloody great music but it dosen't fit under the umbrella's we pigeonhole as Northern or Modern. Just a shame folks can't judge a record on it's merits rather than the year it was made.

Will pm it you Rod. Can all site members not to post mp3s up on site & to send via mp3. Know it's a pain with the clip player down but it'll be back soon. Thanks, Mart...

You ain't seen our new room yet Sean. Should be a cracker with your good self on alongside Brett Franklin who's rumored to have one or two nice crossover tunes Getting tickets through tomorrow so i'll send you some. Roll on the 27th Jan.

If the tools are there then use e'm if you want to. End of the day it is 2006 & if you can enhance the sound quality then go for it. Currently playing Thieves In The Night by The African Twins in my spots at-8, yes you read it right-8 & if my 1210s would go slower i'd play it at about -10. Why? simply because it's too fast (about 130 bpm) & it sounds better to my ears slowed down & is more dancefloor friendly. We're not getting any younger you know & these old bones can't keep the pace like they used to. Will post the normal version & the slowed (& edited) versions up if anyones interested when the clip players back up & you'll see what i mean. Another good example is Don't Break That Rule by Marvell Love. Sounded great in the late 70s/early 80s at the normal speed but so much better for todays scene at about -6. Think Sean Hampsey mentioned this on site before but can't find it but i'm sure he'll confirm it.

Oops. Should have seen it what with bieng a mod i guess Slap on't wrists due. As for buying it i think i'll leave it for the 60s collectors.

Fancy something a bit different for Christmas? Well get bidding for this then https://cgi.ebay.com/VELVET-UNDERGROUND-NIC...1QQcmdZViewItem
