Stu I agree there's isn't a right or wrong but hopefully we can find some common ground...........for once My personal view is I gauge a tune becomes an oldie by time from when it was first played on a regular basis,so I think tunes that were played in the 90t's early 00 are becoming oldies? Patrinell Staten was massive in the 90t's & I think it's an oldie now??? Cheers Martyn I'll add my playlist to my original post as I think that will give people a starting point to discuss? Cheers Martyn

First I'll get my apologies in?..........Mike feel free to move this if I'm in the wrong forum?Sorry if this has been done before but could find anything? This is a genuine question,not trying to cause some oldies,newies war Djing last night at an oldies night,it was advertised along the lines of digging deep & finding a few forgotten things along side some of the better known tunes? So part way through my set I got the comment from someone of........"These Aren't Oldies".........it was a bit tongue cheek as I know the girl making the comment but I think there was a bit of truth for her behind the smile? In no particular order............ Sharon Scott-Could It Be You RCA The Q-That's The Way Hound Carole Waller-This Love Of Mind USA Robert Thomas-Salvation Charay Candy & The Kisses-Out On The Streets Again Scepter The Wooden Nickles-Nobody But You Omen Gladys Knight-No One Could Love You More TMG Lew Kirton-Heaven In The Afternoon Alston The Philharmonics-I Need,I Need Your Love Soulin' The Montclairs-Hung Up On Your Love Paula Emanuel Laskey-I'm A Peace Loving Man Thelma Jack Montgomery-Do You Believe Scepter Mike Vickers-On The Brink UK Columbia Gordon Keith-Look Ahead Calumet Bunny Sigler-For Cryin' Out Loud Decca Ketty Lester-Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid RCA LaVern Baker-Wrapped,Tied & Tangled Brunswick The Paramount Four-You Don't Know Southern City Joyce Kennedy-I'm A Good Girl Blue Rock The Satisfactions-Take It Or Leave It Smash Anthony & The Aqua Lads-I Remember Goldbee The Astors-In The Twilight Zone Stax Gwen Davis-My Man Don't Think I Know SS7 Walter Jackson-It's An Uphill Climb To The Bottom OKeh So my question is "WHEN" does a record become an oldie,what's the criteria,is there any hard & fast rules?? I hear tunes played at (upfront)nighters that are Wheel oldies but have stood the test of time & are still accepted with open arms.On the flip side of that you get new releases becoming biggies on the oldies scene? Cheers Martyn

I remember knocking one of these back because the kid wanted £30 for it & I'd just missed out on one on Roger Banks list for £20 & thought he wanted too much for it...........still a two figure record. Cheers Martyn

As a printer this sounds more likely,easy just to shove some black ink in the duct & carry the run on. Cheers Martyn

Thanks boys some great info. Sounds like it's had plays from time to time which I thought but without ever really taking off to reach the monster status it deserves,which is a crime when you hear some of the dross that has become monster sounds............better not go down that road or I could be here awhile Cheers Martyn

Kev Other side of Soul Clinic has been played..........."So Sharp"..........might be a bit of a stomper for you though Cheers Martyn

Rob Took me awhile to track one down,not one you see for sale that often?..........good hunting Cheers Martyn

It's Wilton for me when it first came to my notice but other nighters as well after that,can't say I remember it from Middleton but that means nothing Cheers Martyn

Thanks Dazz I'll ask Dave next time I see him. Cheers Martyn

Hi Marge Dodson - Be Your Baby Decca........is a tune I love & have heard it played out over the years at nighters but never seemed to hear it on a regular basis? Has it ever been a regular nighter play back in the day? If so when & where? Played first by who? Any info would be most appreciated............... Cheers Martyn
