Is this the same song that's also known as "I Want To Hold Your Hand"?

Two weeks to go. Here's a new release that might get you in the mood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssoxXkEPLHs

Anyone who thinks there is going to be anything remotely like a "Quadrophenia" effect following this film is living in Dreamland I'm afraid. The film won't be that popular amongst the general public and music that is almost 50 years old isn't going to inspire youngsters to go to a do every week. Even if it did a little bit, they'd probably be put off my sneering old gits who take a dim view of having a different slant on things

I like Gregory Porter. "On My Way to Harlem" is fantastic. "1960 What" is not. It's a bloody mess imo. A pretty tuneless one at that. Not everything that Soul Sam plays is great unfortunately. Particularly when it comes to new material.

Yeah it's not a good cover. Not sure if it's the worst thing he's done. That's probably "1960 What"

I only bought this myself last week. Great album. Standing By Your Side is my fave so far.

is the mix downloadable?

I notice that even the recent Northern soul book only devoted about <20% of its content on post Wigan.

I've always liked it. Great song and great production and I think it's well sung.

No sorry, I haven't seen it before. I'd love to hear the bonus tracks though.

And Caister . It looks really good. never been to the Brooklyn Bowl before.

How about Earl van Dyke's "All For You" over Marvin Gaye's "Lucky Lucky Me"? Not sure this strictly counts as the MG was unreleased until a long time after.

Is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/This-Loves-Real-Chapter-8/dp/B0014Z4LBE/ref=sr_1_5_title_0_main?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1407829320&sr=1-5&keywords=chapter+8 Fantastic LP as is all of Michael J. Powell's 80s stuff.

Vocal for me almost every time aside from the aforementioned Sidra's Theme and Liberty's "Girl You Better Wake Up"

What I've heard of it sounds great.

Otis Redding - Otis Blue. The ultimate 60s soul LP.

RIP Idris. "I Believe In You"

derr. Of course. But surely most of the pictures would've already featured in the earlier book?

Isn't the book the same one that came out last year and can be bought separately?

John Harris was on the original CD listing. Has it now been pulled for copyright reasons?

Really? I've got Ben Aiken. I used to love it at the time but haven't played it for over 25 years. How much out of interest?

Didn't Chris King also DJ at Wigan?

Why did he do it? The ammo?

RIP Bobby. Soul hero. Legend. I'm so pleased I got to see him live at the Kentish Town Forum about 18 months ago. Despite his frail health, it was still a wonderful concert.

That's a great intro. So is Lamont Dozier's "Don't Want........."
