I`ll keep trying then

oops! sorry what about REPERATA & THE DELRONS-ITS WAITING THERE FOR YOU

Heres one that might fit the criteria,-DICK&DEE DEE-MAKE UP BEFORE WE BREAK UP-WARNER BROTHERS

Well said that man, great post ive been looking for that for a few days now, but have not been able toput it into words

Hello its a forum thats my opinion!!!!!!!!! am not dismissing it its just not for me, and i bellieve in my opinion thats why i posted it on an open forum, each to there own james thats my opinion and if you can read into that then your a very clever man

And i quote from post 93, its attitudes like this that are causing the northern scene to fall on its ARSE, i personally would like to know where its falling on its ARSE, as ive said in numerous posts on this thread it is a well put together record, but not my thing, and the comparisons that were made were regarding the new release concept, if the northern scene is falling on its arse so to speak i don`t know where? its as healthy today as it has ever been, progressive forward thinking venues in all genre`s of the music usually full to capacity, weekenders sold out, so all i`m awaiting is when it picks up if this is falling on its arse

My thought exactly adey, think its just a verry clever publicity stunt that after 150 replies has worked!!! as for on its arse, as ive said guys like yourself and others picked this scene up when it WAS on its arse, and fair play to you and others, god i remember go into do`s in the mid-eighties, with a hand ful of die hards in attendance, its allways been a super ball effect this scene and allways will be, and no one man or tune will change that

To me whats happened here is we were asked our opinion about this record, and when those who didn`t like it aired there opinion, they were told they should like it and then it turned into a slanging match, as ive said earlier in posts, the question was asked on an open forum on an opinion on this tune, and opinions were given for and against it, i appluad james`s enthusiasm on this record but some very suspect remarks were made to those who didn`t like it, it is a very well put together record, and as ive said i wish the band every success in this venture, but for me its not a great record, probably i`ll be slated again for these comments, but i refuse to have something i don`t like rammed down my throat until i do like it, the last comment i made accused me of being a part of why the northern scene is on its arse, i don`t know where the author of said comments is going, but i find the scene at the moment as fit and well as it has ever been, some great progressive venues, great oldies venues, over my life long involvement with the scene ive seen it go through pits and troughs but has bounced back due to mainly the dedication of its members

thanks for that seemed to have a few on PHIL LA SOUL

Had a few with the "CHIPS" sticker on reading "THIS SIDE IS HOT THANKS A LOT" wonder where that sticker was from, must have been a distributor or something like that

Would love to know what them THREE PIES in that pie warmer at the end of the record bar would look like now!!! the same ones were there every week as long as i went we even marked one of them to see if they were allways the same ones national treasures them pies, they wanted carbon dating

Had some good uns off theremyself paul over the years, if you can be bothered to troll through the millions of classical music albums, val doonican, and perry como`s

i was shocked as well pete, but you neer know if it was on the crossover point between black & blue issues

Knowing how to read a dancefloor, to me a dj should be able to string one record after another together and keep the floor going, also i think one thing that seems to be sadly forgotten nowadays HOW TO USE A MICROPHONE!!!

Looks ok to me think its about £40-£50 hope this helps

yeh chris feb 1981, the records were out of tony`s collection that he was selling, daren`t tell you how much they sold for back then, needless to say i bought the al williams w/d for if i remember rightly £30, those were the days

Whatever the outcome here, isn`t this not an open forum? wasn`t this thread started to find out what peoples reaction to this record was? if critisism is not what was wanted then why ask the question? there are certain comments that are very dubious and that was why i was agreeing to chalky`s post, i was not comparing the record itself to records like duffy or frank popp merely the concept of newly released record, if theres one thing the northern soul scene holds it history and history has proved that new released sounds as with those ive mentioned have not stood the test of time, whilst i wish the band every success in there venture, but i can`t personally see this being played at local events 10yrs down the line, as i do believe that the scene must move forward and have allready said the vast amount of records that are unplayed/underplayed is immense, you are asking for an opinion and thats what were giving here thats all, nothing personal

As YOU! quite rightly say TIME will tell, and we`ll see in 10yrs

Smoking ban would go down a STORM

Correct chalky, great reply weve been round the block seen them come and go, what was the lat one everyone was going nuts about regarding this sort of thing FRANK POPP where is it now? there is plenty of overlooked stuff still to be played [look in the media section} from not only the 60`s but from every genre of the scene, without having to resort to new releases,

Love the record chalky, thaks for the tip. has a certain sound of the four tops about it imo, good flip as well

Thanks guys very intresting

Don`t know matt, just wondered as i`m not up on british stuff
