It's a pop record and this is a soul site

I'll use it sparingly ...........you can have too much of a good thing......

66 years old, better hold on to the CD and do him a tape from your dansette

Paul....you're mate sounds more blinkered than some on here .........anything by the Sapphires on ABC, most things on Ric-Tic and let him work that one out......

Using the mic when DJing is part of this scene's culture, and IMO when used well a DJ can add to the atmosphere of the room, and I think it really helps when playing something fresh (or fresh to most) to encourage and inform. Although there's been times when the DJ just rambles on, and inside I'm screaming ffs just put the needle on the record ..... and then there's the DJs that say no more than "this is", and "that was", fine occasionally but not on every record.........it's just dull. On the whole I'm definitely on the side of use the mic if you're DJing........it's what DJs do.

Im on it .........30 minutes

Not a great ratio, but plenty on here have a broad appreciation of all things soulful, though you'll find them mostly on the media threads listening rather than bitching Take me to the mothership............or Lifeline, Boomerang, The Attic, Dab of Soul, Soul Essence and other like minded planets of enlightenment.......

I heard the new Stevie Wonder the other day on 2....middle of the road music, so far removed from soul Never been a fan of Stevie..........not much of a soul output in the past 30 odd years... ...though I was taken by Sensuous Whisper from his Conversation Peace album in '95...quite a choon...

Every home should have one The 45 should be taken for what it is....a later limited issue, not contemporary with the LP release, but nice to have for $10. If you want proper.....it's the LP

No need for encouragement Barry ...........you just have to check out the naff merchandise at Prestatyn to know that the worst is already available

Top CD John..........right up my street Didn't know the Step By Step tracks......LP I guess ? Now I know why Chris posted the Ovations as a want recently.....good choice Mine's still in production....gotta get the excuses in early

......and no doubt will again very soon.......... ....and then again after that..... ......first time I've heard House For Sale called middle of the road Northern...so at least that was interesting... ...Millie wil be pleased

You Attic boys are not gonna deal with this problem if you're in denial..... ......can I suggest you drop some proper Northern in to future playlists......... Mary Saenz Bryan Hyland Muriel Day Holly St James Val's Mrs. Mills C/U Peggy March .....all dance floor winners I'll be at the next one to see if Franc's with the program

There's no accounting for taste on this site

Sour grapes....don't get it

Another case of different strokes..... We've already had two essays (though one must do better), so I'll be brief.... Comparing and contrasting music policy always stirs things up, especially as in this case, the policies are at the extreme ends of the scale, one stuck in the past and the other refreshingly progressive. If you don't like the music policy, then stay away, simple as.......... It seems that some people can dish out criticism, but can't take it.... I don't know Kev Such but I had a number of phone conversations when I first started Creative Soul.....he wasn't happy that I had started a "competing" night on his doorstep, he even tried to make the point that his night was progressive............yeah right!! 'Cos everyone knows that we share the same policy

....and then there's some that "dance" that really shouldn't....the one's that can't find a single beat in a whole record

Yep, that's what I understood

I'd reccommend the Ocean Front LP if modern soul's your thing, there's a couple of nice deeper tracks on ther too....nice version of Zingara's "Loves Calling"
