Happy Feet

So was this Europe's first Lowrider scene , as opposed to the UK's Deep Soul at the time in the 70s ?

Merry Xmas & a Happy & Healthy New year to everyone, thanks to Mike & the admin team for all their hard work, in keeping Source going .

Hope you had a great birthday Wilxy , all the best Dave

Very honest , I was not & wasn't making any derogatory comment regarding the seller , just amazed the record was sold for so much , that's all .

Here's some more pics , from the pre auction description the buyer was fully aware , nothing left to the imagination or nasty shocks later , must have wanted it that's for sure .

Is this the most for a cracked record this week , amazing, great tune but amazing

I'm sure it was featured in a earlier topic , taken at a midweek session at the Casino , maybe a Wednesday night promotion , not at an all nighter , lots of youths standing and watching the dancers , probably a local newspaper feature.

Perhaps we could ask one of these AI wizards , to do a cover of the " Invitations , (changing the title & lyrics to ) "We Don't Allow ( no mobile phones in here ) " got a ring to it don't you think 🤔

I suspect Peter it's already happening , you've only got to listen to some of the recent releases on a certain label from deepest Leicestershire , aimed at the dance floor , limited copies making them cherishable , until the next batch is released 😉. Answer don't buy them !!

If memory serves me right The Shepards was played and very popular pre 100 Club at the 6ts soul nights , and then early doors at the 100 Club too . I'm sure someone else must remember 😏

Would copyrights be an issue Mick ?

The Premier League is now 32 years old & the Big European clubs have been discussing a European Super League since 1996, that's 28 years . A hell of a lot of clubs have almost gone bust trying to keep up with the big 6 , they couldn't care less about the rest of the teams in the Premier League or the EFL . At least one club was eventually relegated to the National league. The same problem is as big an issue in Europe , Barcelona & Real Madrid even tried to broadcast their own games to avoid sharing the proceeds with the rest of La Liga , and issues in Italy within the Serie A . I hope it never happens either but it's been bubbling under the surface for a long time now , Greed is the issue.

Your so right Soulandy , & long term it will the Premier League that will disappear, too many games etc , and the clubs who are already involved are complaining of fatigue & injuries. Plus all the International competitions. Years ago it was proposed, albeit as a Blueprint , but that's how these ideas are born . European Super League ( that's if the right clubs finished in the top 4 or 5 , they didn't , but they will one day ) Championship 1 & 2 (made up of clubs with a decent Stadium & Attendances) The rest in a North Division 1 & South Division 1 ( to help and stabilise the lower leagues , more local Derbys less travelling etc ) National League . The European Super League is not going away , just on a back burner for now . Yes the current format is much better for now but it won't be too long though before another takes its place . Enjoy it while you can

Personally I think it's a back door route to the very much hated European Champions League, but great if your a Liverpool fan . Just look at the bottom of the league table and the difference is quite alarming, & proves that some of these teams need to be in a division 2 , which would allow for a promotion & relegation system, not a closed shop . But anything would be better than the " Inconvenient Thursday Night League's " Thursday, Sunday etc,etc. You've only got to look at the very poor Premier League positions of past teams involved in it , including relegation to the Championship in a few cases. As a football fan who watches most football across all Leagues on TV , it's Ok but if Bolton are on Sky sports+

Parcel dumped on the drive sticker on the bin , again for a neighbour 5 houses back down the lane , sat where anyone could've seen it , yesterday my wife sorted this one , I didn't know of this when I posted my 1st comment . It's an epidemic.

Where we live , out in the sticks , it's the same postcode for around 30 homes , all the homes have Names not numbered, but the amount of parcels we receive, from Amazon, Evri , DPD , for others is quite amazing . They usually just leave them , just inside the gate in full view of anyone passing , last week in the carport 15 kg of Harrington's dog food , & last week left behind the dustbins ( which stay out on the lane) 2 x record boxes wrapped & quite large to hide for me delivered by DPD . The thing is the cheeky buggers take a photo and post to the customer's that they've actually delivered the item , It's time I started billing them for completing the delivery ( the companies not the neighbours) it's a bloody disgrace.

Ok , been a while I know , I asked if anyone knew anything regarding silicone slip mats . It turned out they where silicone rubber , and our friend Tiscapitol gave some very good advice , which I took on board and ordered a set of decent silicone rubber mats . They're slightly recessed and sit on top of my original reloop felt mats , the sound difference is much better and if playing a dished 45 ( as long as its dished the right way ) no need for any sleeve etc for support .

Hi Blake , Pmd you, Dave

As has been mentioned before , a certain individual came out with " there are no more , they've all been discovered" & pursued a career of tailer mades and crap , since then approx 1975 there has been hundreds of discoveries, and as the tempo has slowed and with the acceptance of varying types of soul music , long may it stay original,. AI is just another form of tailer made surely

I know I've posted this before cheap as chips, but determined to one day get it to play , the track looks OK .

Completely random nothing similar , then out of the blue ,Terry Callier, Ordinary Joe , Morrisons Kidderminster must have the machine on permanent random ?

Talking of Daughters , our's decided to phone home at 2:30 am a few years back , whilst attending an all-night rave to tell me she was in the chill out room with a few mates , and how chuffed she was ( having been brought up in a home with Northern always in the background) that she recognised Frank Wilson & none of her mates had a clue what it was . Relieved it was nothing serious ( hiding my annoyance at being woken at such an ungodly hour ) thanked her for sharing it with me & went back to bed , when I told the missus who had also been woken by the phone ringing who & why she responded " That's your fault" .

Grand Slam of darts , tonight finished with , Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up , Sky Sports
