And that is how you produce a dance tune...clean crisp bass and instruments beautifully seperated by some tasty engineering....old school style.

OK, something really obscure - big favourite of Greg Edwards, and the pubs along the Old Kent Road back in the day, probably featured musicians from bands such as Light of the World, Imagination and Incognito: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93CVRqljpPU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93CVRqljpPU[/url]

I used to live in the OKR back then. Up near the 'Frog and Nightgown'.
Gigged in some of those Pubs as well.
A night out, was a night out, when pub crawling the OKR.
Oh dear....messy...:)

Out of interest, what record store did you work in?

A.1. Stores on the Walworth Rd. It had a stall in East Street market which is why we could open on Sundays. Yes, OKR pub crawls were something else!!

Oh, yes. A1 Records!
I used to live on Massinger St, just off East Street.

Blimey, we might have even crossed paths.
I used to visit the both the shops and the stall.
I often used to see Danny Baker and Pete Waterman in the shops. :D

Didn't they have a small record label as well ?

Yes, and Lindsay Wesker and a couple of other Kiss DJs.
I worked for the label - we had huge success with the Gipsy Kings, and also Steve Walsh. Also had a lot of success with an MoR act by the name of Rose-Marie, who then successfully sued, so the label folded :(

When did you live there? I was born locally, went to school behind the Thomas a Beckett pub, and worked in the shop as a Saturday boy from 77, finished at the label in about 91.

(Sorry Ian for the thread hijack)!!

I was born in Bexley, but my parents were from Bermondsey, We all moved back up to the area in the 70's (well, Rotherhithe, near the Bricklayers Arms).
Me and my wife then got a flat in Massinger St in 1989 and we then sold up and finally left the area in 1999.
Funny enough, was recently talking with some old friends about how the whole area has changed.
The Beckett certainly has some history (and myth) associated with it.

Yes, Rose-Marie. I did some Bass deps for her around the time it was going on, or just after. :(

Great Bass on this Gene Chandler track.

If you want to continue, you must post a Disco track. :D

You must remember going into the 'Green Man' when the band 'Sprinkler' (later Risky Zips) were playing ? Very Popular at the time in the area (Steve Stroud on Bass - Excellent)
Dennis Waterman used to sometimes sing with them (or they backed him).
Here they are, actually this video is in the Becket in 1985. Look carefully, you might even be in the audience. :D

Yep, I realised it wasn't the UK Proms.
Just been watching some of the other shows.
That Orchestra is great. So organic with the Disco tunes.
