How many times can I vote ???? Tony

That was The Old Grey Whistle Test. BUT remember The Tams Hey Girl Don't Bother Me on TOTP. Oh Dear Tony

Excuse Me! The air at Wigan was stiff with the Great Smell Of Brut! Your Fragrant Friend Tony

No. This Mike Raven is the guy who also starred in a few low budget Briish Horror films Blue Rooms early 70's you must know Alan Kenyon and Hutchie an all that crowd eh? Tony

This is just for you. Drove by the Civic earlier. Guess What. It's Handbag Night at Heywood on Saturday! (Knew you'd be thrilled) Norbert the Narc

Stuff me! That's on a par with "Man with no shoes should feel pity for man with no feet" Tony Confuscious(or however it's spelt)

Chris Savoury. Tony

OK it is NORTHERN SOUL, and I can deal with it. Yes, it is a handy monicker, and when you see a Northern night advertised you know why you're going,i.e. not for a battle, bonk & curry(although 2 out of 3 ain't bad ). So I ain't arguing just putting up my point of view, which you may or may not agree with, we are all individuals. Adios Tony

Errr, now that Ive got your attention. Obviously not the music, I love it all(well most of it, I defy anyone to claim they like every sound they've heard) from 60's R&B through to 2000's err...R&B No, it's the term I take issue with. I much prefer the term Rare Soul, after all noboby ever said "I'm gonna sit down and write/produce/perform a Nothern Soul record(well there are exceptions to everything )" Whenever I'm asked what music I like I just say Soul and leave it, cos you just can't explain, and Northern Soul still carries the burden ,to the unknowing masses, of Footsee,Wigan's Ovation etc etc. All comments gratefully received Tony

Thanks Paul I was desperately trying to remember H.B.S whilst I was typing! Thats the one that seemed to be photocopied sheets stapled together,right? Tony

Well Jack,whilst I am certainly no expert, and trying very hard not to come across as some pedantic old tw@t It depends on what you mean by "our scene". As the Soul scene kicked off in the sixties playing mainly( but not exclusively) UK releases, some obviously more obscure than others, the earliest mag would probably have been Home of the Blues which became Blues & Soul. In the seventies we got Black Music, Black Echoes,all of which were aimed at a wider market but still had interest for us. I would suggest that true fanzines had their birth during the mid seventies. I am sure that there are more knowledgable people on here who could give you more info. Over to you Mr. Rimmer?? Cheers Tony

Oh fcuk me. It's not that friggin' Steve again is it???? Tony

The only thing anything like was the reports done in Blues & Soul, and 1 issue was mainly about The Torch, printed either just before or just after the Major Lance Live Recording. If I think on I'll crawl in the loft and find me battered copy. Tony

Weeell ,there is a single on Granite called Pain, but don't know what it's like. While we're on the subjct of fillums,The Five Heartbeats-there was some awesome tunes in that which didn't make it to the CD soundtrack. Did they come out anywhere else?? Tony

They are in Ripponden West Yorks and if you live close-ish, you can collect and save about £8 carriage. :good: Two Records for me that Cheers Tony

Got one for sale if anyone interested Tony

Well that worked then. Cheers Tony

Ta for that. BTW can I take afew posts back? I quite like the idea of being a Semi-Known Gem Cheers Tony

Well, looks like it is a rare one Guess I'll hang on to it . Tony

Don't usually draw a blank from here. However 1 last try. Ronnie Walker--Now There Is You--Gala P-5202. Any info on rarity,value etc. because as I said can't believe it's listed in Manships Rarest of the Rare. Cheers Tony

Hmmm no info yet ,it must be rarer than I thought. The only reason I'm asking is that I've just seen it on Manship's Rarest of the Rare section which gobsmacked me as I never thought that it was all that. Eee, every day another suprise Tony

Used to collect Ronnie Walker's stuff, got the above on Gala but never seen it about much,anybody know owt. Ta Tony

Picked up a copy of Move Baby Move by Frankie Brunson on Fairmount and was told that this is really Frankie Beverley!! can anyone confirm?? Ta Tony

Legend always had it as Millie Small,but who knows? Speaking of Jackie Edwards picked up one by him on aladdin-Hush/I am in love with you no more. Anybody any info??

Motown Chartbusters Volume 3. That under one arm, a bottle of cider under the other, got you into every party going. More recently keep returning to Soothers & Movers, every track a mid tempo delight. Tony
