Popped along to a local pub night running a NS night, accompanied by Brother in Law, who is not into Soul music at all.

Predictable discussion about what constitutes "what a NS record is".....

 

Managed to give him some idea (I hope) by using my own theory, that there is no such thing as a NS record, only records played on the NS scene.

But he accepted the general idea even by throwing names such as Helen Shapiro, Tom Jones, Paul Anka, Bobby Goldsboro, etc.

 

But when this came on over the speakers........I was lost for any answer

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was that Mavericks record played somewhere as well. My son reckons it's northern.

It was a bubblegum record from the late 60s, remember it at the time. Absolute rubbish imo, similar to the ghastly Simon Says. If this was played at a night purported to be a soul night I'm shocked. Was it the Wigan Casino pop era? I never went there so hard to judge but am amazed that things like Nine Times Out Of Ten were played. Did it sound good when everyone was "stimulated"? I was going to say thank goodness things are better now but a friend visited a certain club in the south east of England and he told me they played Joe 90. 

It would sound even worse if stimulated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!green and clears couldnt make that sound good,unless you were a cafe hangout greaser into such shit as choons like this were are and always will be in my opinion ,but hey one mans meat is another mans poison(Some like chalkies I fuc...g hate them and always have)
