Not being a Northern doo frequenter, I also didn't realise that Soulutions was getting played in NS venues. Is this widely the case, or regional/venue releated? Who is responsible for pushing this on that scene? I can understand how it 'fits' the NS scene beat/style wise, but thereby lies the slight frustration for me......so many great records overlooked because they don't fit a beat pattern. Doesn't really matter so long as those records make it in the modern rooms, but some even struggle to get airplay in that environment........ Cheers, Mark R

But danceability and quality aren't mutually exclusive.............. Cheers, Mark R

I know Mark, but by definition, people on niche music scenes like ours should never be afraid to go against mass opinion!! Cheers, Mark R

Hi folks, Hope some of you can join me for a festive edition of The Music Box on Starpoint Radio on Tuesday 23rd December between 5 & 7pm..............it's been a while!! Cheers, Mark R

If it keeps it out of the modern rooms then that's great! Good records get left out at the expense of rubbish like this..............if you want to hear a good Bob Sinclair tune, try "Darlin'" feat. D-Train.......... Though I realise here we are talking Northern rooms, where the latter wouldn't fit........... Cheers, Mark R

And I turned down a Troy Dodds @ £75 off Steve Kennedy (R.I.P.) back in the 80's! Cheers, Mark R

I realise that mate......it's a free world and folk can bid what they like. Just spoils it for the rest of us. ...... Cheers, Mark R

I think the price is astounding too, but are thumping dancers the only records that qualify to be worth big money? I don't understand that logic at all, and actually think it's a sad reflection on just why people like/want a tune........ On a serious note this just puts these records out of the reach of us mortals......a real shame.... Cheers, Mark R

Might help..... Cheers, Mark R

Hi Fluff, yes I do! ! Wouldn't have known it was the Anniversary one though. That might have been the night I keeled over in the queue.....bit of a blur now. I went to one which was a packer and I wasn't too well and the crush of the queue did for me. The only time that kind of thing has ever happened to me.....bizarre! Cheers, Mark R

Blimey, didn't know that! To be honest, it's a few years ago now so I can understand that it might of just caught the tail end of the major label promo 12"..... Cheers, Mark R

Was this really on a 12"? Good record! Cheers, Mark R

Same supplier? Cheers, Mark R

I used to get show tapes sent and my mate always used to write on tge case "featuring Richard's latest best ever xxx!" LOL Cheers, Mark R

Don't want to end up off topic, so just one comment on this from me. You can't have it both ways......the original is CD, the vinyl is a copy........what would you say if I played my 7's off CDR? I'm pretty sure that would be frowned upon. What's the difference? Is it about vinyl or original format? For other threads really.... Cheers, Mark R

A recent example being R. Kelly "Share My Love"..... Cheers, Mark R

What the man said! Cheers, Mark R

I'll do better than that.............I'm off to Dingwalls on Sunday.............GP, Patrick Forge and Kev Beadle!! Cheers, Mark R

Wasn't the Sam/Richard swap deal something like William Powell (Bobby Jason) and Larry Houston (Top Cat)? It was a bit of a miss match for sure!! Cheers, Mark R

I'm sure there's another one, pretty much his last Wigan spot. And the other one I'm thinking of is a list of Morecambe spins.....includes a cut from Johnny Gills Cotillion LP etc.... Cheers, Mark R

A bit different in style, but I've always loved this........ Jazztronik - Real Clothes: Sounds wicked back to back with Silvetti but now I'm giving all my secrets away! LOL Cheers, Mark R

Not aware of any vinyl release on this......great record. As Jock said, Fish brought the album in as a new release in 2007.......he might just gave a copy but no vinyl I'm afraid..... Cheers, Mark R

Keb plays The Royal Esquires as the Embers in the Leicester video as late as '84......... Cheers, Mark R

How can there NOT be more of those? Cheers, Mark R

Rushbrooke, Evison & Minshull on the first one, Brian on the second one? Not sure it's Evison, looks to tall, but the rest I'm reasonably confident with. Great pics.....clearest I've seen! Cheers, Mark R
