Pete Eccles

Here lies the problem of overkill in some parts of the country, Peeps turning up at a busy venue, think hmmm a couple of decks, a handful of flyers, a few mates with some records,boots,cds, a cheap or free room at their local watering hole, and wey hey all these tenners!!!!!!!! eezy peezy!!!!

But thats my point, in the main its a dance scene that doesn't give a shit how they hear what they dance to, but if it doesn't evolve ie new discoveries and giving the opportunity for those who make the discoveries to air their wares, and help slowly re-invent the scene, then they will give a shit, purely through boredom, and just finding something else to get their kicks, Even the most 'oldies' orientated soulie warms to stuff they arn't familiar with, albeit slower than the soulie that has a constant craving for something new, but no matter how slow it evolves it does just that, evolves, Give everybody licence to open digital venues, no matter if the unwritten rule is you must own the originals, then you make the opportunity to 'cheat' even easier than it is now, lots of local soul nights depend on oldies first, then 'boots' of the current top 20, i know lots don't and keep it real also, but if it became acceptable for those with the 'big ticket' rare tunes to use 'digital' format its only natural that it would follow that every dikc and his dog would be doing the same claiming to protect their vinyl, God knows we have enough bandwaggon events as it is, encouragement of the use of laptops IMHO would be fatal! Only a saturday night/sunday morning slightly worse for wear opinion

A great thread this, for what its worth originally and even now if its kept real, that little piece of plastic is what created friendships, relationships, and lifelong marital committments, travelling to hear the latest dicoveries, which to a point still exists, from all parts of the country, meeting to have a great experience and hear so and so's latest play, Allow it in the main to be reduced to a digital scene will in effect remove the access and availability of new discoveries as it will remove the stage for those responsible for inspired finds, it would end up little pockets of local scenes playing the same digital playlists that were played months or even years before, to a point that exists now but their playlists slowly change with what drifts through from the rarer/up front scene, End result - THE END

Blimey, only know Peter on here and we have had some 'fun' in freebasin in the past, get well very soon mate!

John, was amused to see the listen option thought how can you listen to mailers? then had a listen

Gotta say made massive in the North West a few years ago by Terry Davies @ Prestwich, and if its previously unissued nowt wrong with a test press i would have thought? Never covered up by CK IMHO, The first (to my knowledge) of the Chris Clarke 'somethings wrong' presses had this on the flip as 'its my baby' which wasn't a cover up, to late for that, just a mistake by well, whoever was behind it,

Sold mine last year for 20 at j11 (now brookfields) Keep lookin through me records to make sure i did sell it

Just thinkin, not being an expert, why would somebody auction so many 'bigger ticket' items at once? surely this would reduce the amount of interested parties, ie not many can be looking to make serious multiple bids,

Seller has quite a few nice bits on there, all finishing at similar times, interesting,

Take that as a no then?

Have mine for half that

Wonder why he was in your local bank?

Just had a look at my DEMO and its the same layout as the other stock copy, with the VOCAL on the right.

Cheers Simon
