I Need Your Quotes For A Book

Posted

I have just about finished writing a book/booklet that is to accompany a 100 track 4 CD Album Northern Soul Box set to be released by Sanctuary in March.

It's a coffee table style book and I am looking for loads of quotes from people - just one or two sentences - summing up what the Rare/Northern scene Soul means to them, what their favourite club was, etc.

The idea is that these quotes will be used randomly throughout the book.

If anyone is interested can they please send the quote to me followed by their name and where they are from?

The quotes should be sent to me

neil@conceptmusic.com

All the Best,

Neil

Well what is the best quote you can ever hear. I am sure some think your quotes are bad compared to others but this all i can think of for now

People who think they know what good music is cannot be right, until they have listend to Northern soul. It's not a music genre, It is the greatest music genre ever to be made and will continue to be for life.

"This is fuckin' brilliant! It's unknown, have you heard it?" (Kev Murphy & Neil Jones conversation @ 2003) :wicked:

"Listen to this, it's awesome - I bought it blind"

"Blind? Shouldn't that be deaf? Who the f*** watches a record?" (Neil Jones and Dave Rivers in the heat of a niter @ 2006) wacko.gif

"Who's on next mate?" (Some bastard to me while DJ'ing @ Blackpool Winter Gardens @ 2002) :tomato2:

Neil Jones :thumbsup:

This will mean a lot to certain people.........

"Hey Butch, is this lass ok?"

"Yeah she's fine mate, she knows what she's looking at"

"Shit! If she buys all these, I'm looking at a new fuckin' kitchen here!!!"

Robbie Grant to Butch - The Orwell - August 2006 - Just prior to a somewhat disappointing transaction! :fool:

Overheard at All dayer Scarboro 1978 (ish!)

Q:Can you stick "Game players" on mate?

A:Its already playing!

Quotes for a Book - Panch has been compling (for years now) quotes - not sure if for a book or just for blackmailing purposes! - probably not the ones you looking for (stupid things people say - on the Northern scene) its v.funny of course none from me in there!!!!! :shades::thumbsup:

Being into soul music, and not going to nighters, is like being religious, but not going to church.

Why don't you just make them up and attribute them to random people like in the Northern Soul Top 500??? Apparently, I love Barbara McNair's You're Gonna Love My Baby to death...

LOL That's along the lines of the question I immediately thought of Pete :thumbsup:

Apparently I'm inclined to be a little upset when listening to the High Keys....................

especially if I've just split up with my Mrs :D It was actually one of the happiest days of my life ............but how was he to know ? wanker.gif
