There's no point in answering people's comments on the thread about "Souled Out", as they risk being deleted, and I have no wish to type out comments that will be removed.

Mike asked those going off-topic to start a new thread, and so I have.

I will try to be at least more civil than I am on A.N.S., but I refuse to be castrated.

I will not post on the "Souled Out" thread unless it is to specifically comment on items relevant to the film, and my abject horror at the Soul Police dissing it before it's even been made.

I have opened this thread specifically to answer comments and fight back. I realise that if someone puts a nasty comment on one of my videos on YouTube I can be as rude as I like back to them and delete their comments, and block them from having any further access to my videos at all.

I have no such luxury here.

As I said, I shall try to be civil, certainly to most, but find it very hard to be civil to those few for whom I have ZERO respect.

Let the curtain go up.....

The stress, frustration and probable anger that would evolve for Ian and others must totally outweight any benefits of Ian getting involved in other threads surely.

With some people having pre-conceived idea's and seemingly never forgiving Ian for tracks he introduced some time ago, it would be impossible.

This is Ian's area of expertise and he's been open enough to discuss anything so I can't see the need.

I felt that too, Jayne, and no offence I assure you.

Nevertheless, I've ordered a copy and just hope I get to see it before we all disappear into a black hole.........

That is my biggest worry today.

CAN'T SOMEONE STOP THEM ???

Anyone who knows their Doctor Who, think of "Inferno". Professor Stahlman was so sure of the benefits of his scientific project, that he ignored all the warnings.

This just sounds like that all over again.

Why would you think that? I was gonna buy it anyway - after watching the trailer I'm even more persuaded to do so.

Then it certainly wasn't a mistake.

Thankyou, Smiffy.

With respect Ian. Utter tosh!

The Large Hadron Collider will reveal to us even more about how God made the universe. It will increase our understanding and can only be beneficial.

It's one of the most important scientific endeavours in the history of the human race so far. Period!

What puzzles me is they must be paying £25 to buy it in, in the first place.

I think Kev Roberts will be most flattered that he sounds like the voiceover of a major TV advert. Maybe there's a new career just waiting for him out there.

When the Earth is imploding inside a black hole that's growing exponentially, I shall phone you and remind you of your sage words, just before we're all crushed to a singularity.

And some things are better left alone.

I apprehensively offer you this in the hope you will all enjoy it as much as we do.

I just pray I'm not accused of sacrilege.

Think of it in the same way as you think of Erma Franklin doing "I Get The Sweetest Feeling", as an extra and a complement to the original, not replacing it in any way.

If that happens you won't need to phone me as we shall co-exist together in that singularity (together with Mr Trouble et al). So I'll be near enough for you to just tell me. Save on the phone bill

I rather like the way this came out. Brand new although filmed ten years ago. (Not really one for the purists though).

It's sound business ken to launch the product in this way. I don't personally like the spiel, but the net has to be thrown to catch all the shoaling fish, not just a few isolated sprats. You'd be surprised how many sales are chalked up to 4am impulse buying, especially those that come in after a beery night out on the tiles. I've done it myself. Who hasn't?

BUT, in this case we're not talking about a mini trouser press, we're talking about some of the most iconic names ever to grace a 45 in the flesh, at least as far as this scene is concerned. I personally feel they thoroughly deserve it.

The original SWONS was never about sound business. As a business decision, it was appalling. But.... As a time capsule to document the singers we love, it was a labour of love.

It was never appreciated at the time because of the way the videos were edited.

Ten years later, that has changed, and any bitter criticism now, this time round, is likely to be personal and aimed at me, rather than a genuine criticism of these wonderful 200 performances.

we're talking about some of the most iconic names ever to grace a 45 in the flesh, at least as far as this scene is concerned. I personally feel they thoroughly deserve it.

And so do I, and so do most people I hope.

I want Wienerworld to be glad they trusted me and agreed to release it.

How true Macca

Not quite the net, but came home one evening and put on the auction channel on Sky

ended up buying 5 international footie tops signed by, Beckham, Raul, Figo, Ronaldo, & Zidane

I was p**sed and ended up spending £900 on them, my missus went ballistic In my drunken stooper i looked at her and said "Am I bovvered"

We live and learn

As a time capsule to document the singers we love, it was a labour of love.

And how many of those great soul singers have we lost since then?

That is my biggest worry today.

Ian If it happens it happens, don't forget when they tested the atom bomb they did'nt know what was going to happen it could have caused achain reaction and destroyed the earth, look on the other side side something tremeendous may come out of the experiment. or then again.

About fifty of them.

I don't want the world to end before people have a chance to buy their wonderful copies of "Northern Soul's 200 Greatest Floorfillers", Mark.

Or my life will not have been fulfilled.

Well people, my J J Barnes CD has arrived today. It and I are off to the Italian weekender shortly.

Have a nice week & dont leave me too much to catch up with next week.

Well people, my J J Barnes CD has arrived today.

That was quick.

I am so glad I could find one for you. It has been deleted for the last twelve years now.

And Colin Curtis is now really championing "I've Seen The Light"

It's Verna Francis. I needed someone to do "Because Of You" and if I'd done it on a man, people might have slagged it off, as Jackie Wilson is so sacred, so I figured having a female version would be better.

Here she is on a track off "Northern Soul 2008". (Yes, we know the intro sounds a bit like Babe Ruth).

Hi Ian,

Have you ever worked with Fantastic Johnny C ?.I use to love- Don't Depend On Me.

I believe you've worked with Garland Green but have you done anything with- Sending My Best Wishes?.

Also love the Freda Payne-Memories & Souvenirs track (from I Tunes).

It is a brilliant alternative version! (You're right about the Jackie Wilson being sacred point, it very definitely is!) She reminds me a bit of Beverley Knight (but better)

(ops just realised Ive replied to the wrong clip.....)

It's alright.

It's the same singer.

I thought long and hard about who should do "Because Of You". It was such a big record at The Mecca and has carried on and survived since then, and is still popular to this day, so I needed the song to be on the box set. But Jackie Wilson has been dead for nearly thirty years. If Shenton Dixon had done it, the vocal would have been wonderful, but no-one would praise it when thinking of Jackie Wilson, so I decided it had to be a female version or not at all.

Also love the Freda Payne-Memories & Souvenirs track (from I Tunes).

Steve

It's one of my favourites. I only wish there was a video but there isn't.

I'd just like to keep the trailer on the current page, so people don't have to go off searching for it.

Here ya go.....

Gary The Master Blaster "Cafe Reggios"

great !!!!!!!! but only as the first 10 -20 seconds to a tune...as an intro

a pop question for you.

Do you know who Mickey moonshine was? Some say Chris Rainbow, others say Paul Nicholas. Wondered if you knew with your connections?

Very genteel on here at the moment....cucumber sandwich anyone?
