Yeah should be able to get a picture Do you think an original is very rare then ? I must admit I never thought this type of record would be in vogue in 2007 , we had a Goldmine at Rock City us youngsters with the help of Dave and Johns imports

nice record , but I was shocked when Arthur told me he'd traded Trace of Smoke for it

coffee , thats good for ya Arris Movement

Its nothing to do with the individual or name Steve it's a question about the music selected .. Ive seen top names do very early spots in the 80's and then drive off to another nighter (Pat Brady told me he was doing three nighters on any given Satyrday back in the 80's) . Im sure lots of DJ's have warmed up in their time its just a thread for what you would play really or would you use a sales box or any other tactic

Quite a worthwhile thread , I bet some promoters are having a rethink now ....but maybe not

Great stuff on em as well my first soul record was on curtom plus all super cheap back in the day

Yep , play what they may play and make them move on .... Turn the Heat up

With Dj's ,these days , only adding about 5 tunes a year to their playlists or little hotbox's the above is sound advise

I do thing that as its usually collectors who come early doors , that someone should spin from a sales box ..or is this a very bad practise ?

Dave do you hang about with Gavin these days

This sounds about right .. How about B-sides like Magoo

Ahh ha

Sorry cant make it James ..Val did play some poppy stuff imo at the last SR all-nighter amongst some gems

Hey do you remember Searling playing Quite storm stuff at peak time .... around 1987 ?

Ive done some real storming sets to the bar staff ya know , ps. I did play from my sales box once ,in the first 90 mins , it was very successful

So theres a only a few punters in and the night is young ..What tunes should you play and what tempo ? Simon

1982 to 1991 for me , loads of newies and only Keb made it onto Top of the Pops .... or was that a bit later ?

There's just too many !

Yeah I just about remember these Ian Clark was on ..Plus Johnathan Moore ( Coldcut) had a small rare groove gig there for a while .

Im a fan of his too .. check his 70's dancer "this time time its for real " Jar- val Southern soul at its best , https://www.sirshambling.com/artists/J/jimmy_braswell.htm

One maybe two copies , Soul Sam could tell ya the otherside or Graham Ellis who had it on tape in the 80's ps. Dont forget the Skegg Weekender in November lads .. details here .. https://www.starsandstripesimports.com/events.html

A real stormer , I like it

You gotta to shoot to score Tony , always in the box at the right time me .

It is called Main squeeze pete lol .. I reckon the lead on "Stop over looking me " squeezed em too

Wow Tony , it seems you found the first copy , John Anderson turned one up for Sam 1985
