Seems the people with the smallest cocks

have the smallest collections LoL

I'm sporting a button mushroom at the moment.

Come over to Tadcaster on 26th,you will probably here it there. One of my all time faves since i heard it down 100,spun by Butch.

Do i have to play to the floor?

All my 45s are still in actual Schweppes crates nicked from the Co-op in the 70s - lovely deep orange colour & not out of place on display. I've often wished that me furniture was half as well-made.

I lived in a Schweppes crate for a few years.Compact and bijou.

Think this one has not had a mention yet, THE ATTIC, DONCASTER, this was located upstairs above the co-op store,

was there on the last night when it was raided and shut down right there and then forcing people out onto the streets

at about 3am, if my memory serves me right,

Does anyone else remember this place.

Tony.

Was rightly reminded of the Attic in Donny by Al Taylor,when we started the Attic in Mansfield.Its all been done before lol.

a bruised orange, you were spoiled, best i got was a clout round the earhole

Probably deserved it.

Babycham crate for me Derek.

just spoken to carl fortnum can confirm that the vick release is the same as the mica, very rare on vick, carl as had his copy since the 80s never seen another!!

value of the vick release????? jms says £200, which is based on carls copy which scan also appears on rarest of the rare

interesting stuff

Didn't JM auction one last year?

I see he "legally" wants his customers to be happy with their purchase.It says so in The Legal Bit.

Get a room you two !!!

Only the Persuasions are Acapella i.e. sung without backing - the others were sung with backing then mixed with the backing tracks removed - a different kettle of fish altogether !

You're right Mike,technically,but its only a bit of fun.

Hi,taking a spring off from the "Would Marvin like it" thread...lets have your fave acapella tracks...any artist,any soul genre....

Thanks for posting the accapella version. I feel a thread coming on.....

Anglo American had one on last list. VG+ or VG++ rather than Ex or M- but only £35 or thereabouts as I recall. Bargain.

It went v.quick as well.

ive pitched up and down and will always do so....only by +-2.....tunes like ronnie mitchells hang loose is a great record but impossible to dance to at normal speed for me and probably everyone not under 21 and/or on a gram of speed!.....take it down a bit and its a top uptempo dancer everyone can enjoy.....

i fully understand the arguement about originals v any other format but keeping to the 'intended speed' or not playing it at all is bollox IMHO....but each to there own ;-)

dean

Agree on Ronnie Mitchell,sounds better down a bit.Nice old Torch spin.

and for those who think its wrong what would you do if you were on the floor dancin your arse off to something you didnt know....ran to the decks to find shock horror it pitched up a whole +2!!!...does that mean all of a sudden you wouldnt like it ?...and wish you'd never have heard it?...cos thats just odd

Or when you get to the decks thinking "This is brilliant,just like mine at home but better.." only to discover it is your version,and you never knew how good it could really sound.....

Not totally against it when done right,but isnt this practice creating something out of almost nothing.? I'd get it wrong anyway and pitch up when it should be down.

@ salliejane - Gwen Kousar,how did it go down?

Kev.

Thanks Dave.Always happy for the Dave Godin's of this world to contribute to meanings/definition's.!!! Teddy Johnson and Pearl Carr??..wish i was old enough to remember them Dave..

I do get it, I just think its an idiotic premise.

Going by that rule then .... there were no NS 45's made in the 1960's as none were termed NS cuts when released or at anytime in the 60's.

........ If its NS then it was NS when released in the 60's

If its a beat ballad then it was a BB when released in the 60's.

Only looking for a moment in time Roburt.In relation to the NS scene.In the UK.

And no,there were no NS 45's made in the 60's..because the term hadn't been coined.

As for BB's,well thats all about beats per min.....but on the NS scene...

Flairs is a bargain bside where do you live is a killer crossover harmony tune + 3

Pitching it up? .As you say killer tune though.

Typical of me.Sold this some time back.Bargain price,you know who you are..

The technical explanation from wiki, not sure how accurate this is as I haven't checked sources or elsewhere...

Beats per minute (BPM) is a unit typically used as a measure of tempo in music and heart rate.

The BPM tempo of a piece of music is conventionally shown in its score as a metronome mark, as illustrated to the right. This indicates that there should be 120 crotchet beats (quarter notes) per minute. In simple time signatures it is conventional to show the tempo in terms of the note duration on the bottom. So a 4/4 would show a crotchet (or quarter note), as above, while a 2/2 would show a minim (or half note).

In compound time signatures the beat consists of three note durations (so there are 3 quavers (eighth notes) per beat in a 6/8 time signature), so a dotted form of the next note duration up is used. The most common compound signatures: 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8, therefore use a dotted crotchet (dotted quarter note) to indicate their BPM.

Exotic time and particularly slow time signatures may indicate their BPM tempo using other note durations. Beats per minute became common terminology in disco because of its usefulness to DJs, and remain important in the same genre and other dance music.

In this context the beats measured are either crotchets (quarter notes) in the time signature (sometimes ambiguously called down-beats), or drum beats (typically bass-drum or another functionally similar synthesized sound), whichever is more frequent. Higher BPM values are therefore achievable by increasing the number of drum beats, without increasing the tempo of the music. House music is faster around 120-128 bpm (from regular house music to UK Garage), Trance Music ranges from 125 to 150 bpm,[3] and Jungle music generally ranges between 150-180 bpm. Psytrance is almost exclusively produced at 145 BPM,[citation needed] whereas Speedcore and Gabber music exceed 180 bpm.

What on earth is Gabber???....Dont answer that...lol.
