like what you wrote summimg up the family !! you thought you were very special belonging to .looking up to the bigger lads that told you about their trips further afield and you trying to copy them on your local scene.until the time came for you to spread your wings and tell your experiences to the next generation.amazing how it never leaves you.

just goes to show...you cant keep a good "cult" down....northern soul has OUT-FASHIONED, OUT-STYLIZED AND OUT-TRADITIONALISED EVERY OTHER MUSICAL GENRE. IT DOSNT HAVE TO GO UNDERGROUND TO PROTECT ITS SANITY AND SALVATION AS IT MAY HAVE DONE IN THE LATE 70'S/EARLY 80'S. the fact is undeniable, any other musical advancement as magnetic as 60's uptempo soul/dance music is NON-EXISTANT.

....THE TRAGEDY OF TODAY'S YOUTH CULTURE AND THE LAST 2 1/2 DECADES......LEARNED NOTHING......GOT NO ROOTS.

WRITE JUNK, PRODUCE JUNK, LISTEN TO JUNK.....MINISTRY OF SOUND?...DRUGGED-UP JUNK.....FOR REAL "R & B" READ: NORTHERN SOUL!! SORRY IF I SOUND ANGRY WHEN I THINK ABOUT THIS, THE COMPENSATION IS, THAT MAGAZINES OF ALL CALIBRES ARE TURNING TO OUR SCENE TO TALK ABOUT MUSIC THEY CAN RELATE TO, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY MUST FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT WHAT I AM STATING OR ANY OTHER SOULIE, FOR THAT MATTER....ITS THE ONLY MUSIC ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET WORTH LISTENING TO AND LENDING PRINTED MATTER TO.
