Very mixed bag right now - so many people with different agenda's - taste's. Nowaday's people's health n circumstance's - sometime's dictate their need's from the scene. As an example some that used to spend most of nite on dance floor now spend more time listening - changing the tempo they like to hear played out. One thing I don't understand - hear a few mention fed up of oldie's - yet don't frequent the more upfront venue's and never look to see what dj's are on before a night out - then feel the nite they attended hadn't been what they expect. Too many venue's, especially on the same nite, but that's obvious to anyone, say no more.... Imo seem's to be a bigger divide today on music taste's, but that I guess has been inevitable with the amount of year's that the scene has been part of our live's.. Don't feel the scene is in a relaxed and comfortable state with it's self right now... Karen

If I had the chance there would be so many For me it would have to be - Darrow Fletcher aged 15 in 1966 - recording on his Step fathers label - Jacklyn - named after Darrow's sister - recording "What have I got now". Word's fail me...... Karen

Glad someone else remembers it, and only went once - not just me then Was after Wigan closed. Karen

Up to a few years ago I used talc. Always had respect for others that didn't though, put a small amount on side of floor then stood in it when needing more. Don't understand why people pour it all over spot their dancing in no need. I've since discovered the beauty of having special soles and heels on my dancing shoes. They come in different surfaces - smooth, slight, med or very gripped etc found the cobbler in my village very helpful, so I no longer need talc. People must have just stood and poured it onto the floor for it to get into everything. I danced on the carpet week last Friday so didn't notice. Karen

Old and dark run down venue's often have the best atmosphere, along with the old musty smell that comes with them I also love smart venues such as Lifeline at "Ye Old Bell Inn", atmospheric, cosy and offers everything you need for a top niter. Imo. Think it was Wigan Tiffany's went once hated every minute, too smart and Palm tree's, just didn't do it for me. The venue, unless really bad and rundown isn't that important, except must have decent toilets. The reason's I'm there in the first place is what matters most to me Karen

Great record - one of my favourites on the dance floor - fraid it's un-issued. Karen

I feel it's a bad idea - the reason! We all have non soul friends and a lot of us have children, my daughter is 15, has lot's of mate's round so they have been exposed to Northern all their live's. A few think it's ok but much prefer other type's of music. My sister came to a few venue's in the early 90's, but didn't continue, non of her friends took to it either. It seem's to me it's something that's a part of you or not - that simple. We found it without the modern technology available today - giving far more access to it than ever before. In the 70's it was just word of mouth and were still here What I'm trying to say is that new people that really want to get into it come along with friend's that are already on the scene. Could be a worry that if put out into the mainstream and become's common place, that it would attract general around town folk, just coming along to get drunk, cause trouble or pester female's - wouldn't make for a good atmosphere Imo Karen

Curtis Mayfield - Move on up has depth n feeling to the voice that can't be re-created - but that goes without saying. Think he has a fabulous voice to hit the high note's - and sound's better than most in the chart's today, certainly should be making a living recording. Not being critical - just making an observation - especially put against the original, he's voice needs to flow a lot more, does a lot of with holding slightly and stop start style of singing ( not sure how to describe what I mean ) this dosen't apply when he hits those high note's - he hit's those perfect Karen

Think this is great - love the voice when hitting high note's & the various change in beat makes this my type of dancer For some reason I've alway's been attracted to Acetate's & have a desire to collect them. Very nice. Karen

Sending my sincere condolences at this very sad and difficult time. My thoughts are especially with Charlotte and William. Karen x

An all time fave of mine is - The Crow - Your autumn of tomorrow - Inner ear. Karen

You've a very pessimistic outlook their Steve I can only speak for myself - I go on the record it's self - whether I like it or not - a record is not good just because a certain DJ plays it - like wise it's not rubbish cause they don't either Karen

C L Blast a great fave of mine - intro has me running for the floor - whether dancer or not most can't help their bodys doing some of that swaying stuff one record I managed to keep hold of when last collection was forced to go - seems to be having lot's of plays at mo Karen

Must agree with you Phil - think that looks - well just perfect - brilliant design Phil Karen

I agree I don't take into account previous history on artist/recordings or value/rarity - I judge each tune on its own merit - listen to it independantly,never swayed by other peoples opinions etc - have a mind of my own Karen

Phil - don't ever apologise for loving such an awesome record be proud n shout it from the roof tops like I always do A couple of years back one for sale near £2000 mark - in recent months I had one in my hands for £800, didn't have the cash or would have bought it then n there but thank god he saw the light n put it back in his play box - so now I pester him to play it out and I get to dance Not telling who though as when I've got the cash it's mine... Karen

Ian would be able to help you - loves his foreign stuff - in New Zealand at mo - but still comes on here now an again, hopefully he'll see this Karen

Given it several plays - does nothing for me at all Karen

Hi Derek Got a feel of stuff we termed "Modern" back in the eighties - not my kinda thing now but would have suited that era - what year is? Karen

Sorry don't care if it's dog rare that's bl*ody terrible. Imo of course Karen

Forced to sell some stunning pieces in the past that I swore I would never, ever part with Got 3 very special records sitting in my box right now and no-one can take them away from me this time Not gonna name them though - don't want to tempt fate do I Have a good day everyone Karen

Still only the guy's posting Jo - actually it's quite nice to know their big softie's at heart What does that say about the female's though - apart from you and me of course Karen

Forgot to put c/up - but then saw you and Cookie had posted at the same time stating c/up so didn't bother to amend. Karen

There's another one for me - now 7 Karen
