Emerald City Soul Club is already three years old, and it’s still
one of the very best things about this city. The people are spiffed
up (both vintage and au courant), the jackasses are scarce
(usually), and the soul is rare and hot (one night, a DJ put on
a Junior McCants record worth $16,000 for the floor’s dancing
pleasure). The line will be longer than the Lord, so come early and
have a drink. Once you’ve achieved proper lubrication, get out
there and shake a tail feather. (Lo-Fi, 429 Eastlake Ave E,
254-2824. 9 pm, $10, 21+.)

You’re kidding about a record being worth $16k, right?
who picked the clip art for this? i don’t think they get the concept of soul club…
@ 1. Nope.
$16,000 is nothing compared to what some other Northern 45’s go for.
Last I heard there were less than 5 copies (prolly more like 3 known) of that 45 out there. White label DJ copies only as the artist DIED from a brian tumor right after the record was recorded. And $16K is for a VG graded copy, a mint copy would then rate $60K+.
how does a brian tumor differ from a brain tumor? fnarf? jubilation?
fnarf will know. I heard he once had a nasty brian tumor grow on his thigh.
I played a $5 record and people danced. Must be my skillz…
