I can't believe I'm writing this and getting embroiled, lifes too short but I guess it shows that I have stronger feelings about it than maybe I thought I had for some reason ... ... that's the bit that fascinates me actually, where the strength of feeling comes from? Is it underpinend by some mythical 'code' that you were brought up with which was underpinned by who you knocked around with, which clubs you went to, how elitist you are, how much money you've got etc etc? Me, I think it's all tied in with the other (done to death) threads around too many DJs, venues etc etc. As a kid starting to buy records I can remember being daunted by even looking in some people's boxes for fear of exposing myself as an idiot who knew nothing (which I was). I certainly harboured no thoughts / dreams / pretensions about every dj-ing anywhere cos the lads who did that, and there were only a few of em, had been at it for donkeys, knew about things like producers, matrices, stamps etc etc and, more importantly, had earned the right to play out to paying punters because of the depth of their knowledge, commitment and collections. That was just how I thought and was taught to see things, very heirarchical and to some minds elitist you might say. Healthy? Encouraging? Dunno but I'm still at it 30 years on so didn't discourage me. In fact, it instilled in me a kind of pride in the elitism and hierarchies within the scene and made clear that it is more than a hobby or a social thing - to me anyway. Gaz Kellet said two things to me which made me laugh at the time but, on reflection, prove yet again that lads like him were ahead of the game and had it right (IMHO of course): - You can hear the Magnetics in Tesco, it's all fooked - They used to look down their noses at me as if to say f*ck off and buy your gear and I respected em for it So, IMHO (which is worth jacksh*t of course), if it's a first issue, you've got the original acetate, LP etc good on yer. If it's a different cut, unissued etc good on yer for rooting it out and bringing it to a wider audience. If it's owt else I wouldn't play it and I wouldn't knowingly attend a venue where a promoter or 'dj' would knowingly play it after I'd travelled and paid to get in. I have a room full of CDs and boxes full of tapes which contain pretty much everything I want record wise. Going out and hearing someone play the real mccoy is different gravy though. Don't put feckin lumps in it atb Phil ps. I still know nothing, am not a dj and never will be!

sorry if this is in the wrong place Mike / mods ... Anyone who's bought off me in the last week or so sincere apols for the delay in getting your vinyl out. I sold in excess of 30 records which meant I ran out of mailers (doh), hence the delay. All now parcelled up and ready to go so should be with you tomorrow all being well cheers Phil

Thanks mate Think you'll find though that it's The Goodies and it's truly, truly awful (IMHO of course, wouldn't do if we all liked the same stuff)

Paul Tony Foster has been chasing Johnny McCall - I need you. He'll be gutted if he misses it so drop him a PM PMd you re Sonics atb Phil

I've still got one. It's in in the section with Trammps, Candi Staton et al:whistling: Can't beat a bit of disco, our mam loves it and always asks me to get em on when she comes down Ronnie Walker - you're the one Maxine Nightingale Tell you what I can't stand though, that flippin' 'it's better to have' thing, is it Joe Tex? Always reminds me of Black Puddin Bertha

PMSL

couldn't sell mine (mint) and ended up trading it for 500 or thereabouts

Fabulous, a bit of MILF action on SS, things are looking up

Gary try 'Georgeous George' (Niel Holden) on here, I know he has one or at least he did atb Phil

No. Stop. It's all too awful for words. (Rush - spirit of radio )

Oh mate

get yer glasses on dad!

Having another go ... .... you never know I suppose (Fascinators turned up last time I tried ): Four Andantes - hipper (MoDo) Mystics - put out the fire (Twinight / Orr) Cash waiting PM or email me at: Philt88@ymail.com Cheers

oh aye, both sides fantastic IMHO. I think loads of records of this type slip by many folk unnoticed these days due to [what seems to me anyway to be] an apparent preoccupation / obsession in some quarters with 'banging uptempo'. Just on Decca, thinking about things like Connie Questell 'world ...', Bunny Sigler etc etc. Shame. Or am I just going to the wrong places? Good luck Melv, shouldn't be too hard to track one down at reasonable money mate.

Eyup Johno I know, it's something I'd rather keep to be honest but needs must n all that. Hope to catch you soon mate atb Phil

Having a bit of a clearout as seem to have records scattered all over the place at the mo. Rather than post 120+ records on here I've a word version which I'll gladly email to anyone who wants it. (All relevant details / info etc are included - in a not too Domaresque way I hope - on the front). Loads of decent stuff, including some rare bits n bobs, at what I hope are good prices. Email me at: Philt88@ymail.com for a copy. Cheers Phil Nb: tried to attach as word file but no joy. You'll need word 2007 or converter which is free and quick to download I believe
