Keamus Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Was bought the hardback last year. Good read including tales of travelling from London to the the Casino and Mecca. Recommended. Edited November 22, 2020 by Keamus 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Neil Marsh Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Same as Keamus - read the hardback. I found the Spurs away at Liverpool and trips to NY most compelling, but it was interesting to see a black Londoner's viewpoint of the Home Counties late 7ts/8ts soul/JF scene. I always thought it was inclusive, Norman's experience suggests very much not. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mickey Finn Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I enjoyed the hardback. The stories about trips to NY and the records brought back (and subsequently "discovered" by others ) are amusing. Was pleased to see a nice word for Mark Roman, the original Crackers dj who sadly passed away in June this year. Unlike many other clubs at the time there was not a racist door policy there, while the playlist did much to attract a lot of regulars. Add to that all the stories about the various clubs and venues visited and you've got a very informed perspective on a large cross section of the UK soul scene at a crucial time in its development. Recommended. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Fish Fingers Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the heads up. Just downloaded to Kindle and was looking for some new inspiration. One of the best books I read (a good few years ago) but in a similar vein was 'Last night a DJ saved my life'. Really interesting and well researched book about the history of the DJ, Inc a chapter on Northern Soul iirc.
