Anais nin Carms

I am so pleased to read that we have reached a quiet and peaceful point of equilibrium and harmony on who had the first poo at the wheel .. God lumey thats a big word ..ok pppppppeelease lets have more memories I would love to see a blog type post of someones virst visit ..smells ...sounds...fashion.... you know the viiiiiibe I shall be down there later today , no doubt a few Ghosts of the past will hitch a ride on my back and transform me into swinging chic mama as they do.... be nice to see Clarence play some Ska actually . Now he is an old boy from the beginning too I believe? And here is another one Lesley Rushton come on down ..... Art work ..from Manchesters Finest Art Gallery .. FREE to all Carms

Anyone got any old Wheel photos ?

I do believe in Christmas .... My Larrys just arrived !

I am positively droooooooling

It hasn't got here yet I used to have the Ike & Tina and also Love Larry Atkins ...this must be one of the all time best backing tracks.

Dj's that stand out for me this year are (besides the obvious one ) Jumping Joan I found her sets so well put together and as mentioned by others they don't have to be expensive to be good , its all about a good flow and a great sence of what works for the floor and also throwing in stuff that nobody else plays. her sets are inspiring and imaginative. Ted Massey This guy seems to have everything I could ever wish for , he is more than capable of playing my dream set , he seems to have all the sofisticated soul sounds that are my personal favourites that I could never afford in a million years. hearing him play this year was like having my own private Pole dancer my ears were in ectacy. MariaO - Most Glam D'Jessss She still looks hot behind the decks and has a collection that sizzzzzzzzzzles............ please leave me Karmello in your will.

The big question is will it arrive for Christmas still not here booooo wooo

They are now in the post Craig hope you enjoy them ... I think you will just wish my pressy to me would get here in time for Christmas from Ohio ...eeeem its been fifteen days now where is my Larry ?

I have one for sale Carms

Don't forget lot Otis , Sam & Dave , Arther Connolly along with early artists like Sonny Boy Williamson

Big hug for you Mace & Niki & Derek for showing some festive spirit . Yes they are a really nice couple and yes they are just making a living just like other people that do T-shirts and beer mats and clocks and cards and northern soul knickers ..Why not tea sets and mugs?. Not my personal choice but hey ho lets live and let live eh . I have seen many people buy from this stall at weekenders so there is a market out there ....its all part of the Circus as they say It must take ages to pack and unpack that lot when they set up stall I am always very nervous when i give them a hug that I am going to knock the lot over with one my burlesque moves Carms Mery Christmas .... tis the season to be Jolly ..... fa la la la la ...la la lala

Craig I have a little christmas parcel ready for you that will give you a kick start in 2011 , its just a matter of deciding when is the best time to send it . Your call really , as youknow how bad/good things are up there withthe weathe rconditions. Let us know whats best . Kind Regards and Merry Christmas Carms

That is so nice of you Keith , you are a lovely human being . I can't imagine how it must feel to lose all that you have collected over many years . Looking at the lost records list I see you are partial to some R&B , tell you what if you PM me your address I shall send throw some of my R&B out of my sales box.

Keiran I am sure dealers don't look at other postings and hold back because someone else is trying to sell the same record ... go for it It's an open market place regardless of position or stature or the fact that they pitched first ...its a free market on here . ..isn't it ? Think of being at the record tables at a do ..many boxes some the same records ..many prices. I had a great find the other day I saw a record listed by a dealer at 85.00 pounds and found the same record in the states for.... wait for it .... 15.00 pounds I do admire your manners though something you don't see very often

I would have to say no Stevie . I never went myself even though I lived in Manchester in 73 and I was 17 at the time Maybe Wigan was coming to its end then ? The crowd I hung around with at the time were what we used to call "Townies" Wigan would have been thought of as "in them there hills place" We used to have fun in the city centre . Rafters Tiffs Fagins and Tramps to name but a few the guys I was with were ex wheel guys .... Never a mention of WIgan ? or an inclination to go. Plus they ejoyed BEER and lots of it so they tended to stay close to home where we could get a Manchester night bus. Wigan goers were an extension of the next generation of souls I guess , and they interpreted soul in thier own way , just like all the others places that followed up to TODAY. So I wouldn't agree with whoever made the comment. Can't say that I lke everything that came out of Wigan , Can't even say that soul went white with Wigan.... as the wheel had the likes of Stevie Winward as a hero , I think Wigan went a bit crazy though with the likes of Poppy tunes being acceptable Tony Blackburn and Pookie bleedin Hudson but then thats my personal taste or lack of it coming to the surface. depending on the readers point of view. Lots of great soul came out of Wigan.... in the earlier days Spencer Wiggins comes to mind ooooooooh yes have to play it now

Lyrics are just awesome oh how he is suffering and she is so mean to him I think she has PMT lol How can she not respond and to such a pleading heart. I think he sounds a little out of breath at times ... do you think she has worn him out I shall never own a Ty Karim ( same backing track ) so this will do for me .... thrilled to bits that I shall have one for Christmas . I usually try and buy lesser known sounds but this is just pure soul heaven to my ears even though its "classic"..... couldn't resist it really .. the new coat and fancy drawers will just have to go on the back burner... beside I have always found men prefer vinyle Robert be sure it will come to a good home , give me a few days to arrange payment its like Wells Fargo here at the moment , everything is at a stand still with all this snow.

Owwwwwee you can have a hug Its will be my christmas present to me .... contact you off list later on how to pay ... oh you are such a sweet santa .. have to go to work now through mountains of snow with holes in my wellingtons and a thin coat.

I adore this record I would eat bread and Jam for it for a whole month ,but alas its Christmas and I have 115 children to feed and a nail scratch on my old killer heels that desperately needs fixing .... reduce it to 95 and you might have a buyer A pleading Miss Lollo..brigi...dare .. well Mr Sugar did say to always go lower .. if not no worries .... bet I made smile with my cheeky bid

Oh the other side is not to my taste at all Kev

Oh very nice , didn't know this ? Another one I like is Sweet Love child

He is big on my scene I just love his voice when he sings Baby I love you ........... my knees go all wobbly

Flynny I could kiss you at times lol ... I must ask do you and the Mrs ever not agree on what is a good tune ?...eeem that would make a good thread Tunes couples disagree about ours would be Poookie Bloody Hudson for one , makes my ears bleed when I hear him play it I shall have to play look away in moments of pleasure ... do a montano bay in reverse on him lol

Kev using my R&B ear I would put my money on BOYS on the reo label .... nice sax break if you like that sorta swing baby a very wiggly tune .... enter denbo

Thanks for the offer Kev I am going to have Marks at 20 quid Must admit I wasn't struck on it at first but then that chorus got under skin and then I saw the floor reaction to it east of the pennines .... a grower as they say , Browny still doesn't like it .... but I caught him singing it a few times Saturday I got a song that will get on your nervers , get on your nerves ....get on your nerves Carms x
