What a record! Can i slip in the queue behind Hermann for a copy?

Personally i feel 60 minutes is just about right. Enough time to build a set and short enough to make an impact!

Great version from a fantastic l.p. Didn't know it got a 7" release so thanks for sharing.

Same here, i bought one of the Daptone ones and butchered an old record box to make it fit in so it has adequate protection. Ideal for traveling (especially with airlines that only allow one piece of luggage - thank you Ryanair!). Wouldn't trust this style of bag without some added protection though!

Wow, would love to actually hear it WITHOUT the hiss!

Mine's a bit predictable and boring but i'm kinda attached to it now. I kinda identify a lot of folk on here by their avatar anyway as opposed to the username.

Absolutely love that Nina Simone track, one i've had for years. Has it ever actually "had it's day" and had big spins etc.? Either way, sublime record

Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune!!!!!

Brilliant track that has had quite a few spins at "Soul Or Nothing". Sounds great played out on a decent system.

Frank Beverly & The Butlers "If That's What You Wanted". First heard it on an Inferno compilation way back when and it just blew me away (still love it to bits).

Been playing it out for a while now, always gets a great response and sounds amazing on a big sound system. Fantastic set opener because if anything the crazy random drumming at the start grabs people's attention

Dealt with him in the past but never will again for the reasons stated already. Lives on another planet and his manner leaves a LOT to be desired.

Cracking tune that i've been playing out myself recently. Obviously somebody's paid WAY too much for it but it is getting a little tougher to find, took me a while to track down a copy so i guess it's a case of someone looking for a while and getting desperate.

Absolute bargain! Cracking tune

The Who "Quadrophenia" l.p.

Wow, really like that! Thanks for sharing.

Have to agree with everyone about Swan flight cases. Just recently got a custom case to hold 150 records and they were extremely helpful (good price too!). I also have the 100 count box from them which realistically holds around 90 if you're using cardboard sleeves so your best option is to probably go for the "custom" 150 count ones. Just e-mail them and let them know what you want.

If you join Steve Cato's initial post with Paul B's, that about sums it up for me really. As a 41 year old that's been on the scene for the last 20 years or so, i class myself as in the middle (too old to be young and too young to be old) . I think it's a natural progression to explore and embrace new sounds and that's why the smaller events like "Soul Or Nothing" with it's upfront music policy appeal to me more these days. It's exactly where i see the scene going when the 'young' folk are eventually in the driving seat and i certainly see myself as part of that scene. I spent a few hours at a local pub do in Chorlton (Manchester) on New Years Day run by a young crowd and the music and passion in that small room was a complete eye (and ear) opener and if this same music and passion is the future of the soul scene, i can't fookin' wait!!!!

"The Northern Soul deejay's of the future, where are they gonna come from?" We're here already!!!!

One of my all time favourite records. been playing this in my sets for a few years on and off, always gets a great reaction. Introduced to me many many moons ago on a Kent compliation. The production on this record is incredible and i couldn't believe my ears when i heard the guitar in the mix on the original pressing (didn't seem as prominent on the Kent comp.). Would love to hear an alternate version.

Kenny Young - Bargain of the list!! Amazing record, if you don't know it, buy it! Why isn't this massive??

Really sad news, was only listening to them last week. Superb vocalist and their covers of soul tracks were sublime.

I have the 'box' room (i.e. the smallest room in the house) for my music room. My top tip would be to get some bespoke shelving for your room to make the most of the space you have as opposed to lots of boxes on the floor etc. This may be a little expensive i know but it's worth it in the long run as you'll fit a LOT more vinyl and it will look the business so you'll be inclined to spend a lot more time in it. Best of luck with it and here's to many 'lost' hours.

One of the 'played to death' oldies that still commands me to the dance floor. Don't you just love the drumming on this record, outstanding!

Alright mate, where the f*** have you been for the last couple of years??? Back on topic, the sleeve notes have always been (and still are) so entertaining and informative. So many tunes, Ady i salute you.
