New Style Manship Site
Updated appearance is an improvement. Just had a quick play - looks like you can only access those artists/titles that are for sale. Think there was mention of this before, and talk of maybe a fee to access full database. Perhaps John can advise how this will work?

Soul Patches
I have a spare 1st and 2nd anniversary Casino Badge. Haven't really thought about it, but might be willing to let them go if anyone was interested. Not sure of value though?

New Book: On The Right Track With Dj Ginger Taylor
Good luck to the guy if it earns him a few quid- however after deducting 300 images from the 126 pages it doesn't seem like we're gonna be left with much

7" Record Box 100 Capacity - Silver - Rounded Edges
I thought that Ted, but in practice it allows you to hold the box closer to your body and stops it banging against your legs. Great boxes IMO.

All Dayers
Last truly great all dayer I attended would have been Whitchurch or the Ritz circa '74 - '75. Don't think I've been to any since. Went to a Soul Night at Whitchurch about ten years ago and couldn't believe that it was the same venue. I seem to recall it being massive when the dayers were on but it was in fact much smaller than I remembered. Happy days

Best Bassline
Fred Hughes - Baby Boy Not the most technically accomplished bassline you'll ever hear, but wouldn't be much of a tune without it.
-
Speed Up And Slow Down
Would have to plead guilty to this - some records do sound better after a bit of tinkering about. Been caught out by it as well though......never forget buying records such as La Lupe - Fever, and Faye Adams - Hammer, and hearing them played them at normal speed

Do You Allow The Playing Of Boots At Your Venue
I think a lot of what you've said is probably correct..........unfortunately

Northern Soul 'urban Myths'
Did anybody really jump off the balcony to dance to Sandi Sheldon?
-
Do You Allow The Playing Of Boots At Your Venue
'Booted out' so to speak...........
-
Original Vinyl Only ?
Thank you - full circle achieved

Original Vinyl Only ?
-
Original Vinyl Only ?
And not much of it has been booted so OVO generally not an issue.
-
Original Vinyl Only ?
Apart from being great music to dance to I think it's because there are so many records out there yet to be 'discovered' which makes it far more interesting. Being less mainstream than Northern adds to the appeal. IMHO of course.

Oldies That Still Lift You Up
Ha - what great taste you have.. this is the one I would have chosen had you not beaten me to it. A great and timeless record that still sounds fresh.... listening to it always makes me smile
-
Original Vinyl Only ?
IMO playing of non-ovo is symptomatic of the general "dumbing down" that is so prevalent today, but as has been said by others, each to their own.

Good idea... trying to explain this to Old Bill though.. hmmm
