Just ensure you keep your eyesight in spec then Rod.....otherwise you could end up with a nasty headache

Awesome track buddy

I'll stick to one, as the thread title suggests, and having heard it played "out" last weekend, just reminded me of how good it was loud..... Whole lot of shakin' in my heart (since I met you)- The Miracles.....

Cetainly not from expertise Andy, but you've partly answered the latter part of your question....unless anyone can say differently???

Amen to that Neil.....

Oo-err Tezza, whilst I share in particular the Burnley "ethos" with your goodself,....If work allows I wouldn't mind the "musical fayre" that the forthcoming Coventry "doo" in particular, should offer as it's both pretty local, and Sounds pretty awesome, irrelevant of what time it starts or finishes.(wish there was more of this ilk that I knew about personally!)...The DJ line up sounds pretty decent also ....The point is I suppose, is in reference to "doing exactly what it says.. etc..." cheers wilxy

Whilst I love all the upbeat Motown sides,both classic and unreleased obscurity, a few more downbeat items that hit the button ..... What's going on-Marvin Gaye Way back home-Junior Walker................ and my fave- I wish it would rain-Temptations.............MOTOWN 50 and still loving it! wilxy

My collection comprises of most of the Detroit labels, however the only problem being, is ...............the wants list outweighs the wallet

Mossy, If they've got to push you around on that old delapidated machine in your avitar for 6 months it's a wonder they're still walkin' matey

I thought my all-nighter "experience" was finally over following personal events at the start of the new millenium,whilst considering my original jaunts to Wigan,Sheffield (Samanthas), and Yate, in the seventies, which were only interspersed by intermittent forays to Stafford, etc in the eighties, (due to paternal responibilities),and latterly in the nineties Winsford, Keele, and the 100 club.......However, much to my own amazement, within the last two years,whilst possibly due for "enforced" retirement and settling for the odd Soul night here and there, have rediscovered the original zest, for all things "uptempo", (moreover 60's uptempo)particularly due mainly to my personal piece of "Soul Heaven" that is the Kestrel Suite Burnley.....(There are several other niter venues worthy of note, and which having attended,) and whilst my musical taste, from a vinyl collectors perspective spans most eras and sub-genres Soulwise.....It is Burnley that has re-ignited the "flickering flame" that otherwise would have possibly dimmed for good.........Whilst appreciating the thread title, and furthermore apologies for slight diversity..........."never say never"

Once again and moreso once more too often, we lose another gifted person who has enlightened us if only musically.....I truly hope there is an afterlife.....as in the next perhaps I'll have the chance to tell them all how good they really were.... or hopefully are......Keep blowing that sax Mike .....Respectfully...wilxy

RIP Levi Stubbs.....much too sad for words....

Yep, that's identical to the one I've got framed and hanging in my "soul room" ....which doubles as "my" bedroom.....it has faded however .....and I snore (sometimes)

I agree with Maria O and furthermore......would be aiming to clear a near eternal wants list

Having just listened to it Pete......I'd take it back mate

Des, what is it about you and food? I'd swear you knew something more than you let on

Deeply saddened by the news.......RIP mr Wylie........a True Legend

PM'D you.....

Without "beating about the bush",and having frequented the venue on many occasions over its duration, and taking on board the"warts and all" experiences personally encountered, I for one am grateful of the "privelige", that has had so much influence on my "social life" to date and for one have no regrets for the overall experience. ...I do wonder however how much, critics who never actually had the opportunity first hand, tend to somewhat knock the place...... they may have never had the opportunity of actually visiting......just an observation.....

Absolutely superb thread which throws up both valid and diverse opinion! especially from a sellers perspective......but alas is only determined by the buyers willingness or ability to pay the asking price! Unfortunately ability often comes a poor second to willingness, and budget is a key factor.....however sometimes the "find after the chase" is more rewarding.....particularly when achieved at a "snip".......The "truth" is out there.......

Good read as usual Rob, thanx...wilxy
