    I better not say anything, cause i wasted a members time by posting this i left all my "test" wants/avails up - ones that did to check its working ok and a member took time and trouble to pm me a list of what he can fullfill ouch all i could say was sorry
  4. seen a few posts over the week with people asking mods to move/merge etc threads/posts in the actual thread problem with doing this is it may not get seen till later on or may even get missed if things are busy best bet is to use the "flag post" feature when you hit that it automatically sends a note to all mods of the forum that automatically shows up when they view the site so will be aware as soon as they see it its on every post - bottom left hand corner under the "last played" bit
  5. have seen the pye dd about at boot fairs i got some bbc tape only ones from 80s ? one of em featuring unissued stuff by the tymes never paid it much attention I picked up one of the charly northern comp tapes in a saudi arabia street stall in 90 or 91 very odd... as it was one of a double tape comp and obvisouly bootlegged at the time thought was a odd choice to bootleg espically to do just one of two

  9. Eddie Foster Dreams of Wigan - Black Music 1970s The music is black american and obscure - ghetto sounds which never made it, the followers are mostly white and fanatical - working class kids in the industrial heart of Britain who dance like there's no tomorrow to records most of us will never hear. The Northern Soul Scene is a strange mixture of good and bad, of burning dedication and grubby exploitation. Despised by some, misunderstood by most, it is the ultimate Underground scene. Tony Cummings investigates...
  10. nah not me the main photos were by Doug Coombe who ok'd the use if you check the flickr link (below) he has also got some of Melvin Davis, LJ Reynolds, Andre Williams and more up there link here
  11. things a bit clearer The recently passed on hermon weems was the person responsible for the boxes and as such led me to highlighting dave weldings obituary as an article can read it via link below, plus added links and images https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/soul-articles/hermon-weems-obituary-r2068

    smiling at simons post as it features some of the same examples i used to use when going on about searching for that elusive "buzz" don't think age is a major factor Ian just a combination of attitude, anticipation and stuff like that, another example i'd say was the first few lifeline nighters at sheridans

    wants page in refosoul has over 400 flagged guess a few may be fullfilled or a case of people just hitting button but for those with a lot of sales gathering dust may be worth a look /more/?wants=wants i
  15. just a shout for anyone to pass on a sort of snapshot whats going on in 2010 view did you dj during the last couple of weekends ? if ya did how about throwing up 3 of the interesting tracks you played ? along with a few words on each track... could be how they went down, why you played, risks that paid off, ones that didnt go as well as thought etc etc or whatever sure that with a few words could be an interesting thing could even drop a refosoul link into it all
  16. store been mentioned a few times a couple of years ago with fire and such here's a blog with a few nice recent pics would do all my boxes like that but just know after first one they just go to ratsh*t once the intial enthusiasm has tailed off https://parkaavenue.b...rn-soul-in.html
  17. find it happens with a few things now nowadays aint really gave it much attention for years, you then play it now, and for what ever reason it sort of takes on a different aspect you hear things going on that didnt really notice or grab you before dunno why it may be just that nowadays quality is so much better or hearing it in a different sort of enviroment if you wanna get scientific guess someone could even argue a case it may be something to do with your ears/listening changing as get older (you lose different frequencies)
  18. laughing here cause i once asked someone i know who had it details at a noisy venue after a few "you whats" i gave up as couldnt hear him and then later thought to meself did he just call me a f****bufffon anyone like to add it to refo ?
  19. aint been in there for a while, looks like a lot more members have left their mark since then nice one! https://www.soul-sour...p?app=membermap next round of improvements for this should be starting soon
  20. used to offer podcasting on here 5 or so years ago can't remember what happened with it all- more than likely a mix of not getting used enough and "improvements" good job i suppose as have seen some of these podcasts over 100mb nowadays
  21. yep just one of many gateways to all the info a label live search can be added fairly easy will do on next round of improvements on too late adding data, nah thats all in hand hopefully be able to get going with that soon its always been a step by step process , it used to be a struggle to get members to put up an actual title at one time as said on other thread recently whole front end of refosoul is done by myself, and as its now finally a fully intergrated part of the site, can be easily tailored to fit time availables really the only factor nowadays

From the sharp suits, stylish choreography, and distinctive vocals that epitomized their onstage triumphs to the personal failings and psycho-dramas that played out behind the scenes, Ain′t Too Proud to Beg tells the complete story of this most popular "and tragic "of all Motown super groups. Based on in-depth research and interviews with founding Temptations member Otis Williams and many others, the book reveals the highly individual, even mutually antagonistic, nature of the group′s members. Venturing beyond the money and the fame, it shares the compelling tale of these sometime allies, sometime rivals and reveals the unique dynamic of push and pull and give and take that resulted in musical genius. The first book to tell the whole story of Motown′s greatest group, with all-new interviews and previously undiscovered sources and photographs Gives the last word on enduring Motown mysteries, including the deaths of Paul Williams and David Ruffin and the truth behind Ruffin′s tumultuous romance with Tammi Terrell Reveals the secret "can′t miss" formula behind the Temptations′ thirty-seven chart hits Draws on more than one hundred interviews with the group′s associates, industry figures, family members, and most importantly, founding Temptation Otis Williams Ain′t Too Proud to Beg takes a cohesive and penetrating look at the life and enduring legacy of one of the greatest groups in popular music. It is essential reading for fans of the Temptations, music lovers, and anyone interested in the history of American popular culture over the last fifty years.
