The most annoying trend in charity shops recently is the "know alls"who when asked what price to put records out at answer "i'll check the guide" fair enough try and get as much monmey as you can , but these plebs price records at book prices irelevant of condtion etc - The charity loses money as the prices are too steep , I bet if you asked some poor chap in Somalia how much should you sell the my fair lady soundtrack he'd answer "you can a have it for a quid" So annoying and I know it's for a good cause I usually make it even more worth my while by changing sleeves into company bags or throwing plastic covers on the ones I am buying. Still the same price. Try sticking to the fleapit ones if you can, away from the wannabe record collectors that have hundreds of 78's supposedly worth a fortune, lol. H

Which colour of cardigan did Val have on, I might have that LP....

It's been a while since I found anything half decent in them but to find them in near mint is wonderous. Here's the theory......... A pocketfull of people in a small town that followed the fads in the sixties and seventies when they were teenagers. Say an average of 20 years old in mid sixties will age and be at least 60 nowadays and believe it or not had cast aside their tunes in a loft. Not much years left in them and as the grim reaper touches, relatives are sometimes in a hurry to clear things out and thats how some tunes find their way into the charity shops. It is morbid I know but as one chapter closes, another one is about to begin. I know of a few old mod types tearin' up the street on their mobility scooters. I've got their number and it makes for interesting reading in the obituaries. There will still be a mountain of classical and some c*nt from Preston to go through even then. H

Hate it more than Larry Trider and thats saying something. Riddel telt me ye hud that in the boax Tubbs,lol H

It doesn't matter what place I visit I like to have a "guid pruck" and last week I found a box of 12" priced at 10 for £5. Should have bought a pair of pants prior to looking in the box though.. Chuck Jackson - All over the world, Nightmare. Another copy doesn't go a miss. Upfront 9 album including a rare groove 12" of Loleatta Holloway's Runaway. Smokey Robinson - Love don't give me no reason, Motown. Joyce Sims - Come into my life album with nice Barbara Acklin cover " Love makes a woman. Streetsounds Comp with Lew Kirkton - Just can't get enough, nice. Mary Love-comer - Caught up 12" CoLove Records. Jay Player - Love is the answer 12", Bevnik. 7" Way of Life - Trippin on your love, had the 12" so why not? Worthy addition to the collection and restored faith in the many charity shops that haven't turned much up for ages. Ya beauty!!!!!!! oh Yes !!!! H

pmsl This must be the ultimate jest, the guy must be sh*ttin' himself. Nice one folks. H

Just pulled it out, youre right I have the reissue as well and the track I mentioned is on British TMG911, Norman Whitfield production. Been listening to You got the love for some time now, cracking tune. To think I bought it for "Rose"and hardly play that track now. H

Little Charles - I'll Guess I'll Have To Take Whats Left - Jewel Nice one Supercorsa!!! Jimmy Ruffin - What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted - TMG 577 (20p car boot - Manship has listed for £10!) Try the flip I think it is "miss me a little while baby" , lovely H

I thought as much........ You are Rizzo the Rat. You have few friends, but are loyal to those you do have. Maybe if you didn't smell like sewage you would have more. SPECIES: Rodentia Digesta Lotta Grub HOMETOWN: Brooklyn, USA FAVORITE MOVIE: "Rat On A Hot Tin Roof" FAVORITE SONG: "The Pest Is Yet To Come" FAVORITE FOOD: You got it, I'll eat it. HOBBIES: See "Favorite Food". QUOTE: "When do we eat?" I dont think I will be alone being this type!!!!!!lol H

the whole rhythm of that record just makes you move, I believe you Pete H

This thread has been quite informative and it is good to see encouragement to new blood or youngsters on the scene. Surely at the ages of 30 and up we are all accustomed to Dj's on the scene and what policy is played at regular do's, is it not then the punters choice to arrive at a venue of their liking and know the type of playlist expected. I recently got involved in an allnighter for charity for kids 14 - 21 and played what you could call a "KFC spot" right bang in the middle of their "happy hardcore and nightclub sounds. I started with Sister Sledge-Thinking of you, and Jackson Sisters- miracles, before hitting older stuff but nearly everybody knew beat of the tunes and were interested to find out more about the music. It certainly showed me that todays music is lacking and a change from the norm is welcome. H

If it's in the box, it'll get played but don't be askin' fir stupit stuff like dub reggae at a northern night. That's just silliness and shows some times that some punters are only on the scene to take the p*ss!!! There is still a lot to be said about attending a night with a "known" DJ. I go to be educated AND entertained, the DJ has to have previous knowledge of preferred classics and also show the perspective of delivering future tunes to the crowd. I believe that the advent of everybody and their auntie being able to listen to most tracks at home takes the sweetness out of listening to top tunes on the floor. There is many a tune that I have sickened myself listening to it by playing it repeatedly making harder work for some proffessional DJ's that really DO break new sounds. Haydn

Cheese hand's small but mighty

Wilko Johnson, what a man Tony?

If you listen to the song by Crystal Motion........ "You're my main squeeze and everybody else is cheese" Does this qualify in this smorgasboard of fromage hilarity? Haydn

On what album? If you look for a CD album called "Deep Beats-Modern Soul" cat no DGPCD 710, you will find it on that if that is any help Kenneth Haydn

How much did you get the Turbines track for Hippo? H

Forgot to mention Tony Michaels-I love the life I live and live the life I love-Golden World Used to end the night at Samantha's. Haydn

It´s gotta be George Freemans "Down and out" for me. Castanets! valiant, Top sound, agree with that one. Also- George Perkins-I'm so glad your mine-? Bobby Bland - I aint myself anymore-Duke Ronni Goodson-I wouldn't give a nickel-Uptite George Jackson-I dont have the time-Mercury Clyde McPhatter-Lonely people cant afford to cry-Amy George Smith-I've had it-Turntable Little Sherman & the Mod Swingers-The price of love Ernie Washington - Lonesome track think thats enough for now, would bring a tear to a jap's eye, Haydn :dance: :dance: :dance:

Had a listen to this again recently and found it to be a good tune but anybody got any info on it?? The copy I have is on a comp and writers are unknown, label is under copyright control.

This is news to me, sorry to hear it as well. One of the best in a long run of DJ's. H.
