I'm in agreement Skippy(!) I may not agree with all the comments, and frequently don't, lol, but at least it's interesting to read and more importantly I think it gives those new to the scene an insight into the mentality and humour that is rife amongst the majority of Soulies. However, I have to ask the Welsh Man and well known sheep lover Mike (and I still think he looks like The Master from Dr Who!!!!) to edit those that still insist on attcking my stunning looks and sense of style on these very pages, otherwise I'll be getting Dolly The Sheep to spill the beans about that night last summer when.........

Yes, my wife's thighs wrapped around my head :-) Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?!? :-)))))

Oi Joan! Isn't Mr Bicknell 'The Daddy' (?) and therefore you have sulled his reputation and earned yourself the boot from the Century soul event...DOH! :-)

Continental 4 is a BELTING tarck and spun by Jo Wallace at SOULGATE this weekend to much applause and many running to the decks to check it out, including me! How about Razzy 'I Hate Hate', it's £10 of great Crossover ender magic.

Spoke with Taff and he belivies it is the same as the Supremes and yes it is a great record.

Are we talikng as bad as the unissued Orange album??? If so, I'll run for the hills now!!

Isn't the same group that did 'What goes up must come down'? Memory failing me at the moment. IMO this is a great dancer, obviously white I'd say, and a belting toon. Sadly out of my price league as now a family man but one can but dream that the great soul man in the sky will smile on me next time I'm in the States rummaging through the racks of s***e in the local record co-op

or even old enough - b***** keyboard!

Oh Smith! Your ol enough to have been there when Burt was thinking of writing it, let alone owning it :-)

assume the same as D. Warwicks, Dusty Sprigfields versions?

Or even spooky - DOH!!!!

If Ady's not available buy one of those 'Dancing Gophers' dolls because they dance EXACTLY like the Big Man !!! I placed one next to him at the Dome some time ago and it was spokky I tell ya. LOL.

We had a dance comp at the Plinston anniversary last year (and plan to do so this year) but agree that in the end the standard isn't like the old days however we feel that we have levelled the playing field somewhat by the introduction of our selected toons to dance to. Last years was the Latin Soul version of 'I watched you slowly slip away' by Al Escobar & His Swinging Camels (if memory serves) which had most of the Hall in stitches and the dancers in total confusion. This years is a gem - be afraid! Besides, tradiations should be kept alive but maybe tweaked a bit :-))))))

Twas about a year and a half ago on Ebay that they started to emerge (and I'm looking for the email I got from the guy's mate who said he'd got loads of them and to watch the auctions). Low and behold somewhere around 30 copies were sold from the same guy in the space of a few weeks. Not denying it's a great record, just pointing out what I witnessed and i still hold to the view that it's over priced. Having said that, and looking at the MADNESS (or is that Insania?!?) of prices at the moment (see Gayle Adams for example) I don't think anyone listens anymore :-)

And well overpriced as I've seen loads of copies on ebay and in boxes! :-)

Sandy Holt was also the UK kick boxing champ if memory serves me correct and was a fantastic dancer, lots of spin kicks etc. He's been on several TV progs about NS as well

If he does smash them for a mosaic surely a huge mosaic arse would be more appropraite and a symbolic gesture?!?!?? I'll get the door......

Andy Rix's retired!?! I am not happy!!!!! He has always been one of my fave DJ's, despite his resemblance to that character out of Ren & Stimpy (lol) and did a blinding set at the Plinston when he came down for us. Please tell me this isn't true :-( If your reading this Andy drop me a line mate as i would certainly have you behind the decks again at the Plinston. TheBigO

Whilst DJing I've been asked for such classics as 'Skinhead in the snow'; 'You've got VD' (Bobby Valentines Bad Breath in case your wondering); and my own fave 'I've got a car Load' which turned out to be 'Manifesto!!!!!!!' - ah, the joys of the soulful ear

Sadly Ady I did! Saw the Video on MTV Base earlier today, not sure if the said model did anything for me though :-)

On the subject of Arthur's 45, and I am sure that Nick Brown has one doesn't he?, I did speak with Craig Moorer in the US a few years back about getting it and he said that he'd had a few of them in but sold all of them off cheap as he didn't rate it and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. Anyone confirm?

Ah Johnny the old Northern jape of playing a cover-up .... Happend to me with Jacko at a local Sunday night event where in made me big said toon up, having rushed all the way back from Stafford with it, whereupon I, like any decent soulful DJ, slapped it on the decks only to be confronted with some mindless PAP that was drowned out by the even more mindless laughing of all the assembled soulies....needless to say I check EVERYTHING given to me before spinning these days.

The only person I know of to have recently tracked her down in 2002 was a journo by the name of James Maycock and he stated then that she was reclusive it won't be easy. Dont have a contact for said journo either. Sorry.

Can I just say at this point I got mine some 8/9 years ago for the HUGE sum of 50p from a car boot sale in Blackburn - would this be what they mean by a boot record? :-))
