Thats probably the way I would have seen it Nev, horses for courses though and I suppose it illustrates the diversity of the scene, James highlights the 100 Club and I can see where he is coming from cos I have had some of the best nights of my life there and I must admit the place does demand to be rocking from the off, but as you stated it is good to go somewhere and take in an alternative concept like listening and waiting to hear something you aint heard before, and that is basically a big part of why I go to venues, theres not a better buz than hearing something you don,t know that knocks you over when hearing for the 1st time, great example being the DDA at Lowton who encourage a "no pressure on the DJ" culture, don,t get me wrong, the dancefloor is important but I wish that I had a pound for everytime a record received great applause with not a sole on the dance floor at the DDA. Like you say a lot of collectors/punters go to places now to listen and debate and have the odd visit to the dancefloor while still religiously appreciating the music they are listening to, horses for courses though and theres room for us all, just keep loving the music. Heres a few more early plays Tyrone Ashley-I want my baby back-Phil. la The Capitols-I thought she loved me-Karen Jimmy Lewis-What can I do now-Era Four Sonics-Easier said than done-Sport Classmen-Doin me right-Pearce Albert Jones-Up to the sun-Bumpshop Friday, Saturday, Sunday-There must be something-Dig Good debate this, any other takes, post up your lists Best to all Kev

Some would argue best time to DJ, play stuff you think should be getting wider aclaim:- Flairs-Where you live Caesars-Girl I miss you Delwands-This time (I,m gonna win) Florida Spiritulaires-I remember Lee Shot Williams-It aint me Jo Ann Garrett-One woman To name but a few Kev

Absolutely Nij, Salvadors in my top ten of all time, just that I am a shite dancer. Kev

Sure is

Yeah, remember trying to dance to The Kansas City Playboys version at the 100 club over 20 years ago and abandoning the idea after about 30 seconds, Salvadors "Stick by me baby" is another bannana skin. Kev

Took the words out of my mouth mate, awesome stuff, my mate interviewed him in the early eighties for a soul show and he told me he was the cleverest man he had ever met, tied him in knots. Kev

Here, Here, give that lady a ceegar, his finest hour IMHO Kev

Here here Richard, its got the whole package, you,ve summed it up perfect, another one that will always stay with me although different again from Jackey Beavers the harmoniously perfect Magnetics "Count the days" Sable another back of the neck job. Kev

People who wouldn,t know a SOUL record if it hit them straight in the ears and only respond to records when certain big name DJ,s play them while all along they have heard the same record on many occasions but played by lesser known individuals, you know the scenario "have you heard that record that so and so is playing now f-----g brill isn,t it" "hold on a minute mate, so and so has been playing it and you haven,t mentioned it before now" Kev

Two unissued tracks spring to mind straight away, both from the Temps, "Forever in my heart" and IMHO the far superior version of "Angel Doll" Regards Kev

Would be hard to disagree with that Mark but another Invitations record that runs it close is "Living together is keeping us apart" the intro is Philly production at its best but ironically I think its because of its long intro no matter how good that has hindered it as a dancefloor winner cos after the intro Lew Kirton comes in on top form, great record, another great record but with the same problems as above The Four Flights "All I want is you" on Almeria.
