    Hi Mand,I agree with you and Barney where would we be without the oldies, listened to some of the new stuff some of its ok then again it just doesnt do what oldies does for me....I went to a venue in Kings Lynn and the Dj said we dont play that shit (he was on about oldies) me been me dicided not to take that and gave him a ear bashing.....was just saying iam a oldies fan and proud of it.......keep the faith.... smile.gif

    Hiya Kev

    Im beginning to think that us oldies lovers are a dying breed so when we do finally stop KTF what will the soul scene be listening to?

    progressing on to something that sounds nothing like the purest N/S music? watered down till it no longer sounds like N/S?

    When that happens I will be at home nursing my corns and bunions from dancing to my beloved oldies

    I have heard some "new" oldies recently sent to me via the post on CD I m enjoying listening to 60's stuff that I can still hear the n/s sound there are definitely some great underplayed oldies out there

    KTF and Happy new Year

    get yersen to the Grosvenor rooms (sutton in ashfield) Barney. went last week, plenty of 'top 500' , the odd more recent biggie but a lot of long since heard quality oldies. the last DJ of the night actually made me take my jacket off and hit the dancefloor again, these were tunes that made me realise what fast rare dance music was all about

    Yep ...been here ..hits the spot alright!

    Mand thumbup.gif

    it was 'mouldy old dough' and 'Johnny reggae' in banbury, and ironicly the fair was owned by a guy named Bob Wilson

    I remember johnny reggae ..that was a tad blue ..guess thats why the lads liked it back then

    Minit ...I just named the thread that because I saw the name coined in another thread

    WEe havent invented another soul room

    YET laugh.gif

    Mand :D

    if ya wants a crackin w/ender get to brid last w/end in june .summat fer evrybody specially oldlies :wicked: welcome ter join us :P

    Question...

    How new or old is the newest/oldest modern soul record and how old does it have to be before its an oldie?

    I,like yourself Barney am an unashamed oldies lover.

    I have tried to listen in the car and at home to newer stuff and the leseer underplayed stuff but it just doesn't fit the sound of the original oldie that gives me the hairs on the back of the neck feel.

    I don't like jazz or stuff that has spiralling sounds or too much sax (there is some great sax sounds in oldies but not spiralling)

    I do like old RnB.

    Listen to whatever makes you happy, I do.

    Also get sick of folks being slagged off for what they wear ...its up to them ...no one else.

    Once upon a time what you wore was a statement and was an apsect of the music we followed .....as we get older we no longer have to "prove " we love the music by wearing "a uniform".

    All personal choice these days, so enjoy your oldies and the answer to your question Barney... No You aren't a dinosaur

    Mand :lol:

    How absolutely gutting for you both

    I'm sure that these will surface on ebay or a second hand record shop where else would they be saleable?

    Its very sad that a collection thats has been a lifes work has gone in one go and the sentimental value must be huge let alone the inconvenience of it being your job too

    we all need to be vigilant

    they arent worth anything to anyone else except on the soul scene are they?

    so theyre gonna reappear over the next few months

    I really hope you get them back all in one piece

    I have to say that I "know" ( term used loosely) a lot more folks this time around I think its a lot more social today

    But as to numbers I cant get the 48 million quoted by Happyhammer are they counting evertime a person goes thru the doors that person could have gone to the venue eg 300 times therefore same person classed as 300 different people

    Anyone get my drift??

    I lost myself for a moment LOL :D

    Mand

    need to get to this ...big part of my life in the 80s was the palais!!!

    gr8 all niters there

    remember 1 niter when steve whittle played the american youth choir and the place was HEAVING!!!!

    good good memories

    it was always heaving as I remember but I mostly did the alldayers queueing around the block

    if you look at the new pics of the palais on the facebook group you'll see that the building next door is gone and theyve added a glass part to the side of the palais which is another new room

    actually you can see it on my avatar

    Look forward to seeing you there

    Mand :wicked:

    Great Topic! Not soul records but I remember from our local fair (Hurst Green; Black Country / Bham border) Lazy, Crazy Days of Summer - Nat King Cole + Paper Sun - Traffic. What a contrast...but striding out in "stiff as cardboard" Levis and a off white zip up wind Cheeter, what memories- Ade
