Bit unfair to say I know nothing about NS i have been travelling far and wide up and down the country/europe to all-niters/mod nights since i was about 16 so for about 7 years. I know it's nothing compared how long some folks have been into it but I do try to find new stuff all the time and not just chase the oldies! I Dont really know enough about modern or xover, I've treid istening to it but i just cant see the connection to uptempo gritty Rnb/Soul. The only modern track i remotely took an interest to was that one of the remix of the 'Nina Simone' track, sorry forgot the name, anyone know which one i mean? Cheers

Bloody tax man aint charging you enough if you can afford to keep clarence reid he aint doing his job properly . I cant believe your selling the 'Sonny Knight' mate, A hard record that never turns up. Once it gets more action it's sure to be on lots of poeples wants lists. The Jay Walkers aint bad either .

Rnb dead , not a chance! I had the pleasure of Dj-ing in Barcelona at the 'Boiler club' and I can honestly say it's the best night I've played at closely followed by the Pow Wow. There was lots of younger people and a good mix who are into the music/vinyl also people who are just out for a night of dancing to quality music. It was refreshing to see so many young fit women people loving the music for what it is not how rare or expensive it may be . People shouldn't get boged down with the term Rnb. The key is to play a range of music that makes you want to dance Rnb, Soul, Mod, Boogaloo, Latin etc. It sounds so simple but so many people forget this and before you know it the Rnb room is empty only left with the hardcore punters who are out most weekends and sometimes you cant recover the atmosphere you tried to build up all night. Thing is with northern rooms you find poeple dancing to any old shite but because it's rare or a certain dj plays it they feel obliged to dance . I always think to myself "what would a group of younger people think if they walked in and heard tunes like Church Street Sally, Jt Parker, Rudy Love, Manny C, The Jokers, The Isonics, Bobby Valentin, Parisians, Danny Owens, Rufus Wood they would be on the dancefloor having a great time. Long Live Rnb! Long live quality soul music! Modern + Xover will be the one that suffers Callum

You could always sell me Clarence Reid if you need some cash . I've Just compiled a CD together full of new stuff I've bought recently, Lanny Hunt IMO is the best tune on there, what a fookin belter about 1.40 seconds of storming Rnb/Soul, I'll pop you one in the post . any joy with selling the Lil Gray? Cheers

Nice sales mate Lil Gray is a top draw Rnb dancer and one that doesn't pop up too often, getting spins at some top niters. Lanny Hunt could become a monster of a record in the hands of the right Dj. If someone like Karl heard played this I think it would rocket though the roof, a)because it's a seriously rare record & b) it's an instant floorfiller . I got my copy off manships around 3 months back for £405 slightly over priced but once I heard it i had to have it, totally new to me and very much my kind of sound. A classic case of Rnb meets uptempo soul!!!

Agree with matt on this one. It's all about finding new quality records. There's some great stuff being turned up on the Rnb scene. There are Still lots quality records out there being found that fit into that category of 1960-70 that you wouldn't call oldies . My theory is: Modern is Shite

not that it really matters but there's a issue of Zu Zu which is much rarer than the demo + it's cheaper at the minute Callum

Now Sold!

It definately does grow mate especially 'I love you' side. 'Honeybee' hit me instantly great dancer would go brilliant with Danny Owens I just need to find one now .

Thanks for posting up both the soundfiles mate, I'll figure it out one day. I'll definitely get you a beer next time we're out. Just had another listen to both sides not sure which one I prefer, a quality double sider Callum

Yeah i've tried that but my bloody laptop saves files as Wav rather than MP3 god knows why and i dont know how to change it. I've tried downloading software but still no good cheers mate

Much appreciated mate, I've sent them out to loads of people already

You're not wrong mate, the NE is where it's at . Happy New Year to You mate, Speak to you soon Callum

Hi Folks, Up for grabs a double sided rare Rnb dancer. Discovered and spun by Hoss it's not even semi-known. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy whilst round Hoss's having a vinyl session, I would't dream of selling my copy but i have managed to pick up a spare. PM if interested + I dont know how to post soundfiles but if you send me your e-mail I'll send the soundfiles across Lenny Johnson - Honey Bee / I Love You Baby - C/U £200

On hold, I think?

Strongly advise someone to buy 'SO SHARP' great tune, have seen these sell for £80-£100. Hoss played it at lifeline and it went down a treat

hope your well mate, we'll have to meet up for a RNb/Soul vinyl session again soon!

Banny Price - You Love Me Pretty Baby - Jewel WD - Mint - £375 (tiny piece of writing on label) Many Thanks Callum

Hi mate, Yeah really good to see you at NCS mate, didn;t really get much chance to catch up you always dseem to be selling bloody records .The other biggie was LJH - Iwont be your fool on Arvee Thanks for posting the soundfile mate really appreciate it! Speak to you soon mate Callum

Hi Ted, I'm useless at soundfiles I really need to sort it out. If you send me your number and I can give you a ring when I'm near the deck to give you a listen down the phone. If anyone has soundfiles of these tunes and dont mind posting them up for me, I'll buy you a beer at a niter somewhere Callum.

You're right Eddie top tune and quite a hard record, I haven't played the flip Shocking! I'll have to go and have a listen incase it's that good I dont want to sell . I'm terrible for that buying a tune and not listening to the b-side, shocking! Herbie Goins is now sold! Thanks

Hi mate, Long time no see, I hope your well I know I'm still in two minds about it but if the right offer comes along I'd accept. It's a great record always goes down in a strom either in the Rnb rooms or Northern main rooms and like you say very hard to get your hands on a copy + it's in MINT condition Good to hear from you mate Callum

Leon Thomas & Mary Lou Williams - You Know Baby - Mary - Ex+(close to mint) £350 (Pounding 60's sound somewhere inbetween Soul & Rnb just how I like it, great niter record) Dorrie Williams - Tell Me Everything You Know - 635 - Ex - £185 (A hard record to pick up, female belter + not that well known getting always packs the floor) Many Thanks Callum

Two stunning tracks Denbo, Would love to own copies myself I cant beleive I missed the JC Pomonkey was talking about on ebay, I'd of had a serious snipe on it . Edith Brown I've only ever heard Andy Dyson spin this it's one of those tunes that I'd travel 200 miles to hear out loud in a packed club, awesome!!! JC has gotta be worth around £1300+ not sure on Edith Brown though?

you're right lobster I posted about 6 months ago but still no joy ,I've been after it for a while it just doesn't seem to pop up. Great tune!!!
