John Weston, Carl Willingham, Ian Cunliffe, Jo Wallace, Jodie, Chris Anderton. Off the top of my head these six have all been over, and are all members of SS. I've been going out to Germany to DJ for ten years now and loved every minute of it, same with Italy. Have a look at the Hamburg Weekender thread that Ralf started, it's not until October, so will give people plenty of time to book cheap flights etc. If you want somewhere sooner than that how about the Baltic Soul weekender which is just over a week away?

It was the item before the snake. Did you see the snake repeat the baby elephant trick and p*ss and sh*t in the studio ?

Well at least the sweatshirt the presenter on Blue Peter is on telly right now and it says "Northern Soul - Keeps On Burning" Don't even ask why I was watching Blue Peter though !

The article is even funnier when you run it through Babel Fish translation The essences use in small bottles and harness their effects if they are smelled in a single dose. The promoters of the Sounds of Unity and Love (SOUL) have made the decision to offer this year only one edition of the festival, conscious of the saturation of the panorama in general and ' weekenders' in individual. The appointment with best Afro-American black music will be east weekend in the discoteca Maite de Luanco, with two international guests who already left his impronta the last year: the British Soul Sam and Steve Guarnori. By popular aclamation, both will return to Asturias in silent partnership. There will be two national guests: Alvaro Alcalde and Agust­n Caparr³s and three disy³queys of the house: Herminio Afonso, Luisma Mart­n and Felix To Dom­nguez. That is, all the ingredients to arm a good celebration and to listen to those vinyls that only puncture collectors with talent and encyclopedic knowledge. Martin Barnfather, known artistic like Soul Sam, says that soul darker with peculiarities of modern combines northern soul of the Seventies and principles of the eighty. Essential in any celebration soul that it boasts in Great Britain, the past left to the agape rock year. 35,000 vinyls The collection of Steve Guarnori surpasses 35,000 vinyls and an expert consomme' in rare is considered soul with numerous exclusive pieces. It published ' soulzin Blackbeat and he is habitual in the Soul Essence, of Great Yarmouth. To the Bilbao Alvaro Mayor groove gets passionate rare to him, soul-funk and modern soul. And Agust­n Caparr³s (Dj Square) it derives towards rare soul from the sixty, r&b, boogaloo or modern nervous jazz. And what can be said of dj´s of the Earth without falling in the flattery, aside from the merit that supposes to promote this unique festival in its species, simple and frees. From morning, all to ' soulear'. Without a doubt that will sound much quoted disc, but of that they are danced.

I thought Steve had just mis-spelled Austrian !

My last three holidays took me to Cleethorpes, Nuremberg, and Vicenza. Do they count ?

Don't think you'll ever manage it. Obviously some records, by virtue of the label they are on are obvious. But then you get a label like Checkmate (From Chicago) which released almost 100% Detroit recordings. Big Wheel is another, the label is supposedly New York based, but the artists are all Detroit artists. Then you come to labels like Blue Rock, which as a subsiduary of Mercury, could release stuff from all over the States. Loma is the same, it was specifically set up to release black artists who were signed to Warner Brothers, but they could be from anywhere in the States. Clearly you could narrow it down by looking at what else an artist released, who wrote it, who arranged or produced it, that sort of thing, Unfortunatly you then hit things like the tracks that were produced in Chicago, or Detroit, on a variety of artists, by the same production team. Take Jack Montgomery for instance. Four releases in total. Two on Detroit labels (Austens, Barracuda), one on a New York label (Scepter), and one on a Chicago label (Revue), all Detroit recordings though. Good luck !

Yes he does know about all those crazy English guys...... Click the link Mike Terry Interview

It's probably more likely that it was a bootleg

Why do you keep buying crap things then ?

Skate and skuffle loo - eddie miller - verve 14995 refosoul

There may have been a second release, but All The Time was definitely paired with Keep On Loving Me instrumental.

Sounds just like the vocal, but with no singing The other side was a regular spin for Gary Spencer before he gave up DJing

Roger still sells them, but tends to only bring the folders out at weekenders. Here's some beginning with A - B Big Maybelle Betty Lavette Betty Lloyd Barbara Lewis Apollas Andantes Alvin Cash Adlibs

Got to say, as a 'norvernner' I found this thread both interesting and funny, especially as I now know quite a lot of the people who have posted.

Just for interest, here's the other Kent cassette which was given away with NME

Well there are at least two within ten miles of you because I've got one as well.

Yes that did occur to me. But I somehow feel that whoever it is won't actually give me their contact details when, and if, they get in touch.

and I've just spoken to him and he said you'd just spoken to him as well Keith

Hi Thorsten, I believe they were specially pressed for juke boxes (although I've never come across a juke box that plays at 33 and has a small hole centre). I've had a couple of them though so whilst it is unusual, I don't think they are particularly rare.
