Oldest tune?

[sample_city]

Righto, I'm hammered at the moment and me mate had just said what's the oldest tune you play on a regular basis?
Mine I reckon will be some Chicago house tune circa 1985/1986 maybe JM Silk or summat , Adam 72 reckons T-Connetion - Do what ya wanna do

The old stuff is where my heart is......

1977, The Coachouse Rhythm Section, Time Warp
1979, Persia, Inch By Inch

etc etc etc

On the house front
1983, Cybotron, Enter (original version of clear)
1984, Gwenolyn, Come To Me
1984, Z Factor, Fantasy (dub is best mix)
1984, Knight Action, Single Girl
1984, Jesse Saunders, Funk U Up (orignal pressing and mixes)
1985, Terrnce Woodard, Jack The Box

etc etc etc

I also love my electro
1979, Telex, Moskow Disko
1977, Kebekelektrik, Magic Fly
1982, Electra, Feels Good (Peas and Carrots)

There realy are 100's. I have quite a few wants some of which are almost impossible to get hold of.......im starting to save already!! Ive also got about 100 records on their way from Chicago none of which are later than 88 and include plenty of original classics on their original pressings inc Marshall Jefferson, House Music Anthem on TX117 etc.

Old tracks are best, real feeling, made for the music, not for the dj.

My brother plays ever year at the O2 Festival in Hyde Park for 2 weekends. He plays the VIP arena and bar so not open to the public. His selection of music (all cd's for convenience he says...) ranges from 1920's to present day!!! Ive not asked to go through his records or cd's recently...wonder why?

He always has a laugh though with all the celebs getting pissed although ends up playing usually from 11am ish to 2am, for 4 nights!!
