Really peed off I could not make it. Ged was sulking after County got relegated, Julian B was away and I am not yet fit enough to drive that far.

Top stuff apart from G Lemons which is dreadful IMO.

It sounded better with Carl on backing vocals Steve. See you August mate I hope

I thought all the dj's were very good considering their age and lack of dress sense.

 

I exempt Joan from that obviously.

I'm putting me dad's suit on for August

TODAY'S SCENE IS NOT ABOUT RARE RECORDS ANYMORE ...........IT'S ALL ABOUT ANTIC'S , SINGING OVER RECORDS THAT ARE SUPPOSEDLY SHIT ......................IT'S ALL GOOD FOR MORALE ..........TRUST ME ON THIS , IT'S GOOD FOR THE CLUB IN THE LONG RUN .

Carl, we're hugely reassured by your steadying influence mate; we're in safe hands with you at the helm. It's a winning formula!

Carl Fortnum a northern soul chorister ! bugger and I thought it was a newly improved "Taylor Made Version"

Also add a few cheap but cheerful spins to the playlist:

Bobby   Bland Yum Yum Tree

Limitations   All Because of You

Febulous   Peps Love Of My Life

Darrow Fletcher   My Young Misery

 

Lol cheers Dave,

 

Loads of quality cheapies played too, naturally. Bobby Bland, Darrow Fletcher as good as anything

karaoke/singalong?

Yep, helpless laughing

Thanks Carl, absolutely top drawer. Frank foster, f*ck me!

On the other matter, as I recall, "shaken not stirred" was the phrase when you showed it me. Terrible behaviour (and that's without mentioning the vocal accompaniment, 'live', to George Lemons). Absolutely pmsl

We enjoyed it and hope you did if you were there or, if not, that it gives you a flavour and tempts you to come along to the next one in August

I played it at Burnley and once or twice elsewhere I think

Tough one I guess Phil, don't see too often, no real demand, just me and you playing it I think

Thats cos we've got good taste mate lol, and that nice Dave Flynn bloke too

Loads of records from that period aren't there which aren't expensive but defo good enough and have loads left in em. That's the main stuff I look for and play out wherever I can

I'm hopeless Chalks, as you know lol

I'd say 80-100 Pete, probably closer to the latter

Originally it was all I used to do and was what it was all about. These days I have no knees and an hour or two wobbling about equates to several days of 'toothache' in each leg.

Really hacks me off, not the same without it

Russ

Bugger, was just gonna pm the mighty Flynn offering all manner of swapsies lol

though he had sold his to Mick H years ago ?

Okayish sound to my ears, nth special and if it wouldnt be rare...etc

If it wasn't rare ... what? I love that line. What does it mean?

You'd have to rate it and love it musically first and foremost, obviously, and I do, which I think is what you're getting at Marc. However, isn't rarity / exclusivity or however you wanna couch it part of the mystique / attraction and integral to collecting rare records on what is essentially a rare soul scene? I can think of plenty of rare records that I think are ordinary at best but I don't think people own and/or play them simply because they're rare. Do they? (Some might I suppose; they've got 'issues' and too much bloody money then).

If it wasn't rare I'd still like it, still have one and still play it out. All a matter of taste, obviously, and thank goodness for that. Anyway, I'll stretch to $5 if you've another knocking around Adey.
