It's been reissued on CD with extra tracks

So, because I write about Soul music I'm a member of the Hitler Youth, although I fail to see any connection whatsoever between my musings on Black American music from the 1960s (Mostly), and a German military recruiting organisation from the 1940s. If you can manage to make that connection, that frightens me considerably ! However, what I don't do is perpetrate a deliberate fraud upon thousands of people just to massage my own ego, which is precicely what you did with the Four Vandals. What's more I don't think I said YOU were a disgrace, I think I said your actions were, and that I do think your actions were a disgrace and an embarassment to the Soul scene, there, I've said it again now. Funnily enough, I personally think the Four Vandals was a smashing piece of pop music that could quite possibly have made the charts on the back of Steve Brookstein's success, if it hadn't been disguised and touted as something it wasn't. Strangly enough I've never slagged off the Motor City stuff either, because although it wasn't really to my taste, I understood the passion and committment that had gone into making the music as a tribute to those artists. It's a shame really, somewhere you've lost your way and have turned into the very same bigot that you claim to despise, insisting your version of NS is the only true way and insulting everybody who disagrees with you. It's pathetic really. These are my last words on the subject because my time is more valuable to me to waste it in responding to your petty tirades. You've conveniently ignored the comment I made about you suddenly re-apperaing on SS to promote the box set again as well.

Just been an article on BBC Midlands today about the filming tomorrow asking for people aged between 16 and 21 to turn up 'dressed Northern Soul'.

Well yes, we've had this conversation before. I can't ever remember writing it, and you can't ever produce the proof i did write it. Personally I think it's just a fabrication of your over active imagination. However, if I did write it, I probably had good reason to However, perhaps it's just me being a cynic, but what a surprise it was to see you turning up on SS again. Just as it coincides with the need to promote the all new DVD set................................. So transparent !

What ? Before you played the videos, or after

Because when he was a bloke he had a walking stick. Funny story about that. Every month Rob the stick used to turn up at Blackburn allnighter and prop his stick up in a corner. Every month, Jim Eddlestone and Soap used to try and steal it, remove the ferrule off the end, saw about a quarter inch off the bottom of the stick, put the ferrule back on, and replace the stick in the venue. It got shorter, and shorter over a period of months.

Bloody hell, at those prices you can have two back issues of SoulfulKinda Music !

Last seen ona TV documentary about having his K**b chopped off

No idea how rare the single is, but the track is New Orleans, and appears on at least two CDs that are still available Great track

So, to ask the question a third time......... I'm glad to hear that you intend using original music. Perhaps you could let us know what part these people ''The Dap Kings, Sharon Jones, Amy Winehouse*, Mark Ronson*, Paul Weller and Duffy" who are all mentioned in your publicity, will play in terms of original music ?

I'd be surprised if you do get an answer. I've asked twice now and never had a reply

Thank you Ian, so my original question remains unanswered: "I'm glad to hear that you intend using original music. Perhaps you could let us know what part these people ''The Dap Kings, Sharon Jones, Amy Winehouse*, Mark Ronson*, Paul Weller and Duffy" who are all mentioned in your publicity, will play in terms of original music ?" Especially as most of the people named weren't even born in 1974, never mind into Northern Soul.

Actually I'm not. If you follow the link from the Souled Out Page asking about Extras, and scroll down the screen you get to a link which says: Keep up to date with all the latest Souled Out news Join the new social networking site Moli, make Souled Out your friend, and be the first to hear of new cast updates, blogs, shooting news and cool extras on the official Souled Out page. www.moli.co.uk/souled-out If you follow that link you and then click on the bit that says 'Soundtrack Featuring' you get this: Soundtrack Featuring Comments: 0 25.Jul.08, 16:03 BST The Dap Kings, Sharon Jones, Amy Winehouse*, Mark Ronson*, Paul Weller and Duffy. (*in discussions) Plus original seminal hits of the day by the likes of Kim Weston, Dobie Gray, and Dean Parrish. Which is where I copied and pasted my original question from.

And one from Philadelphia Discography HERE

Awesome, and such a shame that the three main people, James Jamerson, Eddie Kendrick, and David Ruffin, are now all dead.
