Mayer Hawthorne is a well known artist on The Stones Throw roster label ... check out some of his stuff if you accept left field this is what Northern soulies will listen to in twenty years time......

I have a copy of ' A Strange Arrangement' and if that is a good example oh his music I'm not sure Mayer Hawthorne will be what Northern Soulies will listen to in twenty years time, but like with the Frank Popp Ensemble I could be very wrong.

Fair point but I never expected a 70 's failed funk record ie : Ellipsis to gain a four figure sum when readily around in the late 70s played and disregarded... ...totally unpredictable world of Northern Soul collecting.....

If there is only one thing i've learnt on this scene it's that's there's no accounting for taste. It's more difficult to get a room full of soulies to unanimously agree on a decent sound than to solve the problems in the middle-east.

In lots of ways that's a good thing.
