Thats the one, I had the insight to bang it on CD. Love it to death

I understand what your saying Len and I would sooner be in a rare room than the top 500 room personal. About 10 years ago I put a soul night on in Nottingham and Rob Thomas volunteered his services for the first night, as all DJs were booked I shared my spot with him. He played things like Marrying Kind, Hey You, Oh Baby, Whats Your Game etc etc. It was 100% brilliant. Unfortunately it emptied the floor and gave a feeling of no atmosphere. Time for safety and back to the oldies - Full floor Robs record selection was ace but not right for this night. So I see it as if your going to DJ at a venue where people are paying there hard earned cash and want to dance to top 500 then its your duty to do so even to the extent of playing a record you dont like yourself. Remember there the top 500 for a reason. Even though Robs session was awesome. You could blame me for being the promoter and putting Rob on - and I would say it was the first night and I had no Idea 250 would attend all wanting big oldies Mick

Think Steve got the answer on No 4 of this thread.

Back in the day 1977 Monday night was Natts Palais Tuesday - Night off Wednesday night Ingosoll Chesterfield Thursday night Italian club Nottm Friday night Colmans Nottm Saturday night Alnighted (anywhere) Sunday day alldayer or/and Colmans in the night This was a typical week, there were more venues back then and every night of the week offered a healthy choice of venues. Looks like Sundays are starting to get busy again buy imo the scene was bigger in the early days but there were no weekenders so that may adjust things a bit

I know where your coming from and have thought similar things myself. Let's hope it dies down and returnes to normality like it did in the late 80s. The route course we all love the scene is the music of our soul heros and as long as we stick to that we won't go far wrong.

In my opinion Notts has/is always been a huge supporter of the of the NS scene with top Djs and venues. We have more venues every week than I would care to mention, top promoters and paying punters. Some things are out of our hands.

Record prices are weird, if your buying there's worth good money as everyone is after if but if your selling there s--t as they have had there day.

Washed Ashore in my book is soul soul soul and nothing but soul but wtf do I know.

I have lived in Notts since day 1 and I would like to say that I would like to be counted out of the clown show. Bol---ks Bol---ks Bol---ks

Give me the Avons anyday.

And this is why I love YouTube

Sad sad news I had the pleasure of visiting her at her home about 10 years ago. She was a super lady as well as a extremely talented song writer Will be sadly missed

No problem in actually listening to it Ted. I was just stating that it wasn't on YouTube. Unless someone knows better - but I can't find it.

Great site

On occasions I have come accross a record for sale that looks intresting but not known it. YouTube has always been my first port of call for a quick listen. Never failed me.

Cheers mate, I got the only bootleg - it was made by one of the present owners. Not into bootlegs but this is a bit special. I just wind up Mick H with it. Micks got one and I think there's only about 4 others.

Just wondering if you have failed to find a track on YouTube I know unissued stuff will be missing (not all though) Even the unissued shrine tapes were up for a while I but can only find the lower one now Anyway the two tracks that I failed to find were Job opening part 2 Del larks and Im A Lonely Man The Dynamics GOD BLESS YOUTUBE

Yep thats the one, it wasn't a pod cast that I had . I bought the plain white cds. It was a donation towards something or another. Back then in 2004 some of these sounds I think changed my view towards soul music Diane Lewis - You Aint Got A Chance Karmello Brooks - Tell Me Baby Monique _ If You Love Me These three are the kind of thing that gets me, Well done. You should of been on at Wigan in my books

will check when I get home and let you know One CD was called from Trinidad to Detroit (or something like that)

If my old memory serves me correctly but you can bet your cotton socks I will scan and put up tomorrow

Hey Pete, I bought a couple of cds from you years ago White label things. One mentioned Trinidad. Looking at some of those tracks on them you should of Dj`d at wigan

Yea and I seen Vivian (The Young Ones) smash his foot through the floor and kick some dude in the head Slide this to 3:20

Not funny when its your livelihood and good name Tosser deserves a public flogging
