God, you've got me wondering now............I think I recall some tune at some point with the backing track.........maybe I dreamt it too.......or maybe it's the wine!!!

A PERFECT EXAMPLE - BRILLIANT!!!

I heard it was 'cos they didn't want skid marks left on the dance floor off your trainers!!!

That makes two of us then!!! Hope to see you at the next one Longy Caz

Just had a look at the previous posts. They seem to go down the same line,, bringing up other venues in his local area.............this guy has obviously got a very big chip on his shoulder!!

Pre Northern Soul days, Hot Love by T-Rex. Tainted Love post-wise as it was the only record I knew the first time I went to the Casino!!

DEPENDS WHAT'S IN THE MAIN ROOM..........BUT IF R&B IS IN EITHER ROOM, THAT'S ME HAPPY AS A PIG IN POO!!!

Cracking tune Steve..............someone should be snapping your hands off for this!!! Wish it was me but spent up at the mo!!! ATB Caz

Fair do's Nev!!! I don't care for it much either!!! Might pass you on the motorway sometime soon! Caz

Nev, Racking my brains here!!! For the life of me I can't think which venue you mean, lol!!! Caz from the Boro

A great blast from the past!! Haven't heard this since the year DOT!!!

You're a fortnight too late to be making comments............you're usually much sharper, lol!!! I just thought I'd get in first for a change, lol!!! How does it go btw.............GOOSEY GOOSEY GANDER, WHERE SHALL I WANDER!!! Caz x

You're very brave buggerlugs.................. Caz x

LOVE THE 68 COMEBACK SPECIAL - ELVIS AT HIS BEST. TO ANSWER THE QUESTION 'HAS ELVIS GOT SOUL' - I ONLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO 'IF I CAN DREAM' AND THE ANSWER IS DEFINITELY YES!!!!

Totally agree about the supply and demand and I am by no means an expert!! Have only been collecting for 2 years at the most. But thankfully I've got some good mates who will always give me some very good advice! I do look at Popsike but they don't tend to give a lot of really recent buys IMO. So personally would rather go with 'word of mouth.' Carol

Many thanks for this info. Another one to add to my wants list!!! CHEERS, Carol

Yep, James Brown and Fatback Band.............brilliant!!! Agree with your comment about War though, they ewere slightly off the wall so to speak, a few of their tracks did have a slight Latin edge to them. My point was though that back in the olden days there wasn't as much differentiation (hope I've spelt that right, lol) as there is these days.......jazz funk, disco funk, latin funk or whatever funk, just plain old funk!!!

NOT 100 PER CENT SURE, BUT I THINK THIS WAS AN LP TRACK. COULDN'T TELL YOU WHICH THOUGH. ABSOLUTELY CRACKIN' TUNE!!!

WAS INTO WAR NOT LONG BEFORE I GOT INTO NORTHERN. ME AND BABY BROTHER..........ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! STILL IS!!! YOU CAN CALL IT WHAT YOU LIKE!! DUNNO IF IT'S JUST MY AGE OR NOT, BUT IN MY DAY IT WAS JUST PLAIN FUNK!!!!

I Personally don't mind, as long as I can keep up with it, lol!!! A couple of tunes spring to mind, My Baby Likes To Boogaloo I personally find just on the slow side to dance to so am happy it's cranked up a bit. Also Stanky Get Funky - I can only presume that it's been speeded up many a time and i therefore got used to that tempo, as the last time I heard it played out at Bidds it was a lot slower. A few of us on the dance floor were looking a bit miffed at the time as it was too slow!!! In the end we sat down as it just wasn't the same!!!

Back in my teenage years it was acts like Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam and Dave etc, that got me into it all in the first place and 30 odd years later that pretty much hasn't changed. They're all still up at the top with me personally and I doubt that will ever change!!!

Looks OK to me!!! Mine's a STRAWBERRY MIVVI BY THE WAY!!!

Just happened a couple of months ago. Was playing a spot up in Whitley Bay a few months ago. Sorted me tunes out all ready for the Saturday night. Unfortunately, left one of 'em on a dining table chair. Our lad came in from work and plonked his backside down to take his working boots of and...........CRACK!!!!! The record was My Elusive Dreams - Moses and Joshua Dillard. Fortunately I had a reissue on Mojo in my box too!!! PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolute class!!!!!
