Thank you to Mick and his mods for what is a truly wonderful website which up until a few months ago I always took for granted, never really appreciating what they have to do to keep this website flowing.

apart from the occasional rant which can become personal the site is well policed, the piss take is kept within the paramters of whats acceptable, the humour sometimes makes me LOL, the exhange of information even regarding old venues always bring a warm glow to my face.

However one part of the forum which EVERY day never ceases to truly amaze me is the knowledge some of you have acquired regarding labels, matrix#'s, writers, this tat and tother, sometimes I shake my head in utter disbelief at the extent of it all. Its like the google search of Northern Soul.

Keep it up its chuffin wonderful.

while you're in a good mood Paul,buy your missus those boots!!! .

Agree with all the above,fantastic stuff.

Our members have made a total of 500,462 posts

That is quite incredible. Many thanks for keeping this going Mike, some of us may be a right pain in the neck sometimes but I'm sure that we all really appreciate your efforts.

Boss.

Showing your age again, Sean.

Gaffer!

Got to agree. This site has been a godsend to me as I have been off work sick for three months now.

My symptoms mean I can't go out much.

But the site means I can still feel a part of something.

Thanks, guys n gals.

Top site, top people and a top scene, share it, enjoy it...fantastic.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Top site Mike here's to your next 500,000 from the guys at Funky Feet.

I have to agree that many members are very clever and know so much about whats what on the scene and soul in general.

For example a few days ago, I quoted that Danny Williams (WLGAY) was a great white singer, and was up there with Paul Anka in terms of the so called 'blue eyed soul'.

Its was gracefully pointed out that Mr Williams, a South African, was in fact black. So long sucker!!!

Oh lord its hard to humble.......................looks like like I went down a snake, but am now looking for my next ladder.

Anyway, without this site, we would all be less informed, and probably be more opinionated.

Keep the faith

Ed

Agree with all above .

Top site,I visit most days & always learn something about collecting I didn't previously

well said Paul, and in agreement with your words totally. Massive pat on the back soul world people. x

Thank you Mike,

Without this site I would never have connected to old friends I havn't seen in years and the brilliant memories I had long forgotten bought back to me. I love it.

Must agree

I posted a question about a really insignificant record (the Volumes - I love you - Chex) and was staggered by the amount of information I got back from around the globe. The knowledge of members and willingness to help is truly inspiring.

Please, please, please keep up the good work.

gary

this site has given me the opportunity to meet some fantastic people in far off lands who share the same passion for black american music as i do, and i couldnt ask for anything more. keep up the great work mike and co. and its a pleasure to be a part of the experience that you have created here.

Im a SS addict.....................fantastic sight in every way...........great thread BTW Paul. Mike & the Mods keep up the great work, It must be a real labour of love sometimes, but I for one couldnt do without the sight now. Thank you.

Russ

Got to agree...thru SS....have got to know and meet so many local and not so soul folk who otherwise would probably remain just faces amongst this vast scene.I also love the music postings as well...i dont think enough praise is given to Mike and his Mods for all the hard work and effort it must take to keep a site like this productive,,...and keeping us lot in line.....even though...i admit to being one of those who like to push the boundaries ....oh the hell could imagine the Northern scene being as vialbe as this 30 years ago......well done guys.....XXXX...Delxx

Yes a big thanks to all those in charge! great site.

Enjoyed readng allsorts of what artist are connected to other etc

Put me onto loads of nice records, I've sold a few, brought lots more.

And most importantly makes work more bearable!

Good thread and good points.

Just looking into a 'swaps/trades' section in sales now as well. Which will hopefully be fun and interesting.

Totally agree brilliant site ,ALL are yesterdays , events ,The Knowledge and endless list of members of who were legends & my heroes from the 70s and 80s plus it also made me aware of the so good untouchables who are nothing more then money grabbing bullies .

Met so many friendley members .

keep up the good work

Love it,addicted to it,greatly appreciate it,thanks Mike

Fantastic site,You can always find the info you need and more.Keep up the good work.

i rarely post but log in daily.great site,well done mike and mods.

Hello Bill - long time no see. Yeah, you rarely post but when you do it's normally a load of crap! Love to Carol - Ade

Must admit that since I've been on here it's so easy to get hold of sounds that otherwise would have been really difficult to track down. Example, I was on my way to see a mate in Kiddiminster in July, getting stuck in the floods, when I heard "where is the girl?" Ben E king on radio 2. I'm ashamed to say I 'd never heard it before, but it knocked me for 6, fab record. After asking on here for a mp3 copy I was quickly supplied, two people only to happy to send me a copy with nothing in it for them, only the fact they'd helped someone. Thanks so much Mike and everyone on SS

my favourite (new) Mod is pete smith who has finaly gone over to the dark side poacher turned game keeper

allways been a great site, makes me laugh out loud regularly mike and the other mods do a great job
