Ay up mate There's nowt wrong with them - oldies or not. I don't have many records left these days - theft, fire and an explosion along the way deleted many and I sold a lot too before I got seperated. I just pick up the odd one or two bits these days - mainly 70's and some albums. Bought a few 60's bits of late - mainly down/mid tempo stuff like Maxine Brown and the Freddie Hughes thing I posted - that sort of style. Also like newer stuff and have some 80's and 90's stuff kicking around too. Anyway, good that your back - nice to have you around buddy. Peter

Spoil sport! Peter

I don't know anything about the artist or the record - it's just one of those tunes, that, well, has that kind of something which you can't quite put a name to. Peter

Interesting. I hope yer pal takes good care of his new pup! P

That's nice mate. Peter

As someone has already said most of the posters are probably British - one of em is from near Ilkeston! Peter

This post made me laugh At least where you are they don't sound violent. I had to dj with one once, and although he is was a lovely guy in person, i was warned that he was a savage and dangerous person in his youth, prone to beating the living shit out of people for little reason. You got the vibe that he knew how to handle himself, also he seemed to be missing pretty much all his teeth. Likewise have you ever accidentally taken a drink on the dancefloor at a northern night? Fuck me,i thought i was about to be stabbed when i crossed the corner of the dancefloor with my drink. The other week i was djing at a local spot where i get free reign to play what i want and a bunch of older, football casual looking folks came in. I recognised one of them as a dj from a northern night and another from those nights. I nodded to say hi and the dj nodded back. I was playing 60s psych, kraut, weird funk etc, not exactly what they would have been into, but not miles away from it either. I had typed out the whole story, but it is kinda long winded and the short verision is they decided to just fuck with me until i asked them not to and then threatened to kill me and i had to involve the bouncer to get rid of them, who also wasn't exactly thrilled at the prospect of being beaten up by a bunch of 50+ yr old hard men. An easy way to wind them up is to say that jazz funk and modern soul are just another way for them to describe disco music. I agree with you though, they are, for the most part, cunts. Keb Darge is a lovely chap though Peter

It's orrible. Peter

Cheers Gary. I like it. P

Just bought this cheapie from the states. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biT5TFLS3rc Peter

Just bought the DVD from tinternet. Petre

Yep, here you go.

Hi Steve Wasn't there two threads running? One titled "Ike Strong" the other "Which Ike Strong is Butch Playing" or something like that. I could be wrong - don't take much to confuse me! P

Not according to the other thread it isn't mate. Peter

Just working my way through the show now - great stuff. Two new tracks to me, amongst others, (I know I don't get out much) which makes the show worth a listen on their own - the Ann Bogus and the Barbara Mason sides. Simply stunning, top drawer soul music. Thanks for sharing Sean. Peter

I don't buy much these days although I have bought some albums recently. Nearly all of them came from Discogs - I really like the site. As has been said uk sellers are often way over priced compared to non uk sellers. Bought from France, Italy and Germany recently all cheaper even taking postage into account. I don't think I've ever purchased anything from ebay. Peter

Nice one Sean. With three hours to go at there will be something in there for everyone. You're guaranteed some decent soul music if Mr Hampsey is in the house - so fill yer boots, and lets be having yer! Peter

That's cos I forgot to post anything Ste! Here you go - http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/50888123 I hoe this is what you and Tom were referring to - or I'll look a right prat. Again! Peter

Here's a bit of info. Looks very complicated to a simpleton such as mesen! Peter

From the other posts we can only assume one thing - you's got cloth ears indeed Ian! I've got dodgy hearing in one ear too! Peter

It's worth a listen just for the Gwen Owens side. Peter

Getting a bit techy aren't we Richard? Thanks mate I'll have a listen in the week. Peter

You mean illegally pressed as in bootlegged I presume? Peter

Hi Steve Hope your well. I might be interested in the Simon S book - depends on price and I've no idea how much it's worth. Happy for you to put a price up in the thread or pm me when you've dug em out. Cheers buddy. Peter

Fantastic record. Now i've posted that I remember saying the same on your last sales thread - ended up buying the book! I haven't started reading it yet. Sorry, your last sale fell through Mark. Someone will buy this. Peter
