WOW....people are selling "Footsee" for £5. Scandalous! Steve

No sussing involved. I'm not trying to be anonymous. I'm stating a feeling. .... and wondering if anyone else feels the same, simple as. Steve Handbury West Yorkshire E-mail and phone number provided if required

There's something called "Bare foot" which apparently is the most natural thing to walk on / in Oooops, jus realised you said Ladies..... I'm sure theyll agree with me. As a bloke then, try Air Wair's.... the ones that lace up to the knee. Keep you comfortable, keep you dry, keep you stable and , the down side, may not make you look like a lady

Actually Roger, as Im sure you are well aware, I've been in the real world since time began Steve

Bugger...waslooking for an 8 ball (black ball) smiley and there isnt one.

How much "time" have you got.......there must be thousands

Say no more squire.... say no more. It was made to skip

Think the only way is a really good clean unless it's inherent in the record. Isopropyl alcohol and a good cleaning cloth should do the trick. If that doesnt work, then its more likely to be in the pressing and you aint gonna do diddly squat about it other than two pence on the needle (not recommended). Maybe a higher grade stylus would help but its no good if you want to play the 45 out Steve

....and just in case you think this a put down of the scene, it's far from it Steve

Thank God for that..... I am normal Love CeeLo and he's got a far better voice than some of those on the records that we value so dearly. OK, they are rare but come on, in many cases they are rare for a reason and I'm sure I don't need to explain why Steve

For the intro: I love Soul music, I love Northern Soul music... always have and always will I've been into it almost 40 years. I would even go as far as to say that I love all variants of soul music. However... this is the question. Have I moved on too far where liking the something such as the Kanye West / Jay Z album is a step too far. I think its a brilliant piece of production. It uses samples from such soul heroes as Otis and Curtis. I'm also drawn to the Amy Winehouse / Adele / Paloma Faith sounds, simply because they are soulful. Whats wrong with blue eyed soul? Does that make me an outcast bearing in mind, like I said originally, my roots are within the Northern / Modern soul origins. Same with (and yes there has been a thread about this recently) the fashion side of things. What is wrong with keeping up to date music wise and letting those that will delve into the musical archives to plunder our soul heroes work but yet move on with the music / fashion world of today. Hope that makes sense Steve

Good

What ever happened to Tony "The Vicar" Clayton apart from the obvious which went on at the time?

Think Mr Rix has the full inventory on this one if my memory serves me right. Cooooeeeeee Andy.... where are you? Steve

...............And what about Lainie Hill "Time Marches On". That was huge for a while at the Palais until it went, as we would term today "Viral". Best Steve

Flighted means that strips of angled metal (aluminium normally) are secured to all the joints on the carcass. All faces are covered in an aluminium sheet and on all the corners have protectors added. Steve

Bitter, me,surely not.............................

................................. and it was mint :(

With that in mind I think I screwed up when I sold mine some 12 months or so ago..... and I thought £200 was a good price. Bugger!
