what area are you refering that plays The Exits too much?.They must have good taste,Leonard Jewell Smith records can be played all nite for me. Person-ally,if i never hear "Standing on solid poo" AGAIN,it will be too soon.

can't eat,can't sleep,what's this thing that's got a hold on me... CASE OF LOVE,case of love, Paul you got a real bad case of...vinyl addiction. Look on the bright side though....you are not alone

and who's gonna cook the full english this year???

not everyone's cup of tea,personally i love it ,and it's got played at our's by myself a couple of times over the past year.Underated and underplayed IMO,,KEV. (I mean BNAG, not TMFANL ,i ain't got that!)

STEVE L is in the CARIBBEAN so he can't make it

was played a few times courtesy Colin Curtis in the Mecca days,always been a cheapie but goodie

its Ultimations "would i do it over"

Without a doubt the biggest influence for me ,,Tats Taylor. Unabounded enthusiasm,knowledge,the ability to cut thru the crap in the scene,he put up with me for quite a long time.Never tired of talking "soul",and the tapes played on the way back from the Mecca/Wigan were a genuine influence.Bring back tape sounds!! One of the first times i went to his place when he lived at home,he'd got records hidden underneath rugs and carpets,45's everywhere(duke browner on impact was one "hidden" gem).I was still at school at the time ,Tats and just left. Others,,,Roose,Nige Willets,Curly,Mick Padley,Johnny Maddocks,,,,,,,,,dj in the early days? ............Colin Curtis,never afraid to push the boundaries,,,,,,now?..............the list is endless............

the cherry is not to be picked

oops,your'e too quick for me

hi,we all know its Little Ann now,but just been listening to it after quite a while... WHAT A SOUND!!!. Lyrically superb,heart wrenching delivery,ace dancer. Got me thinking,was this record ahead of its time and the benchmark of a change in "northern "style ? (imvo). Richard Searling championed this record at Wigan all those years ago,so I THANK YOU SIR. Seem to remember seeing a 10 inch white label copy at a friends in the early 90's,but apart from that,who's got what in the vinyl department??

...then the nightmare began...released on British due to popular demand, was there no escape from the B&B FROM HELL.......

"WHAT'S BOTHERING ME" (re: timmy thomas,,Tony R ) is the inital question. Like what you like,no need to justify it. I tend to find "soul " in the oddest of places,in different musical genres,sometimes lyrically.( ie Johnny Cash,Leonard Cohen,Smiths). Did used to bother me,years ago, but realised it a personal thing,till you get on the dancefloor of course . Now i just accept that i like soul music in most of its forms,,,not just Northern.

the MODFATHER likes his Northern!!!.So what?.He's entitled to his tribute to the scene. Went to see him in Mansfield area a couple of years back,outdoor,and the warm up dj set was full of "modern,crossover,r'nb,and northern",cos Weller likes it!!. Northern influence spills over into his music,ie:EVER CHANGING MOODS,HEADSTART FOR HAPPINESS,LUCK etc. it's not exclusive to "us" you know . IS IT WORSE THAN LISTENING TO NORTHERN IN TKMAXX.?? take a listen to DAYS OF SPEED and the awesome ABOVE THE CLOUDS ,,,KEV.

do you want one?,,,KEV. think i've got one tucked away somewhere.....

HE STILL WEARS 'EM (sorry enchanted..didn''t read your post )

sorry to hear that Sean,hope all gets sorted soon. As usual your posts always manage to feel positive,even in light of "current" events( ). If you need a Clean Up Woman.......................................send for Tats . ALB,,,KEV.

hi there Steve,nice to see you've not lost it pal (RE: pm from a few months back ), say it as it is, see you soon ,,KEV

Rachel,,,,,it's become one and the same,you can only please some people some of the time,after that,give up

Mick H hasn't got the problem of many other dj's repeating of his toons though,or vice versa.Can't see a problem myself with changing eager,fresh dj's to do a shorter set.Keeps everyone on their toes.The main dj's of course should do a longer spot. oh the other thing,,,dj's should try and listen to what's being played before they go on,,,,,,,,,,,and not hotbox(ooops,sorry)

,gettin re-activated at the moment ,as it ought to!!. Some find it a b*gger to dance to

i'm really suprised to see JJA on the list ,not just for '75, but at all!!!. Like i've said before, a lot of the Mecca stuff bombed at Wigan around that era,and you don't get any "MECCA" at that time than JJA. Be interesting ,to some, if anyone has memories of the reaction to "I GOT THE VIBES ".,,,,KEV

seem to remember MB being played to a near empty dancefloor at Wigan,after it was already established at Mecca,may be wrong,where's Mel Brat??.Of course it went on to be another Wigan classic

couldn't get link,could you post up scan and price ????

BUTCH got it for 1000 USD's,seems like a real bargain at today's exchange rate(£500.. ish).What's not to like about this record,great memories, sounds more "right" for todays scene than ever.
