In mellow mood ... Clarindonians - when I'm gone Alton Ellis - just a guy Slim Smith - my conversation

Great, moody tune. Low fi as i recall but hey ho; cheap at that I reckon

Fabulous, absolutely love them

Quality, all night every night; that's the idea. No egos, not about djs, promoters, money or any of that old b*llocks; just trying to do it right musically so it flows and doesn't dip in quality or consistency.Thanks for the really encouraging comments, much appreciated.

Think Carl played it at Grumpy a few months back? I am usually wrong about most things though so may have been a mysterious c/u or somat?

Tail-Gate Really nice vg++ with only a handful of negligible light marks. Two small Xs on play side £450 or thereabouts??? Not sure! Cheers Phil

Just occasionally, things happen which lead me to conclude that i reside in a parallel universe.

Richie Andrew had one for sale I recall, 'twas ages ago mind so may have gone by now but worth a punt if you're struggling Atb Phil

We try really hard to get it right so cheers JB n Pete. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thankfully, we always get a really good crowd in but if everyone who says they're gonna get along to Grumpy ever does we'll need a bigger boat! Probably won't happen these days but I do still dream of a good-sized chunk of 'us' getting it all together just once in a while, bit like it used to be; how awesome would that be. Here's hoping ... ... in the meantime we'll just keep doing what we're doing for as long as people want it. Anyway, come on down in April, be great to see you. It'll be more of the same, guaranteed, no compromises; plus different guests who all fit and add to the night. (I know I help put it on but if I came across somewhere where those records were being played one after another I'd bloody go, why wouldn't ya? ) atb Phil

You too mate, you ickle teaser lol

Black Jack 1402 Need this back so if you've got one PM with price and condition cheers Phil

If memory serves the script was ... - wind your neck in and keep a low profile, you're nobody in the greater scheme and no one gives a f*ck who you are, what you think, do etc - Turn up anywhere and everywhere possible using whatever means possible - Get as broad an overview as you can about what's what, what you do and don't do. Get out and about beyond your local comfort zone - Work out what you think you're into and why - but be prepared for that to change beyond all recognition (you'll look back and think 'what a knob' at some stage) - Dodge scary people until you pluck up enough courage to speak to the odd one ... eventually. You'll feel safer knowing the odd nutter - Speak to people who know what's what once you've plucked up courage to look through a box, some of them might even look after you record-wise but you'll drop b*llocks and look an ass along the way for sure - Have no aspirations whatsoever about dj-ing for at least 20 years, if ever - Accept that you'll never have any bloody money - Draft a pre-nup making clear that you'll continue to be a freak, stay out til all hours with other like-minded freaks and spend every spare penny on daft records (if s/he won't sign ditch em) - Laugh and dance as much as possible, sweat you nads off, lose yourself and find that place that only those who really get it go to Looking back, wtf would you lol????There's only the last bit really but if you get there you'll know immediately that all the other sh*t is absolutely, totally and utterly worth it. atb Phil ps. Then spend the rest of your life trying to find it again, sounding like your dad, and being p*ssed off when you can't. There's nowt like it
