Historical Acid House footage

If anyone is interested in seeing the moment when the old jazz/funk/soul underground dance scene was suddenly brushed aside search for Prestatyn1989 on YouTube. Actually as is explained the footage is from a 1988 at the Showstoppers soul/dance weekender (the continuation of Caister). This video is a real historical document and shows vast hordes of smiley- faced teeshirt wearing ravers taking over the main room and the pissed off soul and hiphop fans and the old style djs like Chris Hill skulking round the smaller rooms and the communal areas.

Its amazing just how swift his change in the scene was and many of the ravers shown would have bought their tickets for the weekender straight after the early April 1988 weekender when a mass Acid house culture didnt exist, the main room was still the funk room and they would have still been funkateers.

This is one of the best things I've seen on Youtube as I said veritable historical document of a period that changed British club culture for ever.PS It may even be footage of the very first mass acid rave as up till this point in 1988 it'd all been really about clubs and warehouse parties (the larger scale Acid parties were just about to start to happen) and in the big room at a weekender you'd have thousands and there were big big numbers in the "Reactor" that weekend.

this one is great too
acid and pretty good mcing and a bit of singing
this ep is a pretty beautiful thing - the only release this cat did on his own label matching sleeve and label - 4 mixes trying every range of contemporary style r and b, house, acid - and this intense desire in the record - but alas - his only ep.
