Thinking on, i wonder if the ending has left it open for a follow up film ?, The two mates walking across the bridge at the end with the MVPS playing. Maybe they'll get to go to the states finally on that record trip, that would be a good film. Or the next film will be set 40 years in the future in 2014, the lads in their 50's bald and still mad on the music, lots of possibilities.................

I saw it at the quad in Derby last night ,and have to say i totally enjoyed it. A Hollywood blockbuster it wasnt, but on the budget the film had, it did a superb job of re creating the social deprevassion of the early 70's northern England. Although i saw the trailler previously i went with an open mind. Maybe a bit over violent at times, but there was a story line, and it wasnt a cheesy documentry. Funniest thing for me was in the cafe area after the film, they put on a northern soul mobile disco lol.

Kindly Shepherds - Lend me your hand - Checker Anyone got one for sale ?

Calvin Arnold - Mini Skirt. Clean copy wanted, Venture or UK release. John

Robert Thomas - Salvation - Charay Would anyone have one of these for sale, been playing it on youtube a lot, would like a copy. Kindest regards John

Thanks for that, suspected that might be the case, also i wonder where the Lana release fits in, was that the original release ?

Just wondering if anyone knows if Golden World white Demo's exist of this track, only ever seem yellow ones, and also google image search only brings up yellow issue copies, and i dont recall ever seeing a demo.

I would say early nineties too, think i got mine from Bretby also, remember Chris Anderton playing it there, maybe that was the place. John

Northern soul is all about broken hearts, the records we sold but wish we hadn't, Relationships which come and go, friends that we miss, passed on or otherwise. But we still keep going back for more...........

Maybe both at the same time, the backing track was played & Marion was in studio 1 & La Reine was in studio 2, & they never met.............

Well he's not responded, guess he posted that reply in that bar in 69' & it's only just appeared...........

Chambers brothers also sounds similar to Paramount four on Southern city

One of my reg spins too when get the chance to spin, it also sounds very similar when played side by side to the royal premiers - I can make it if i try - MBS. Little Charles is also one of my fav spins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOhOnFpJLAc

I've heard of people who do NS dancing lessons, maybe clapping lessons could be the next thing......

Seem to remember lots of copies around at one time, not seen one for along time.

So does that mean Andy's next list will have lots of rare Ukrainian soul records on it, maybe lot's of unknown stuff. Maybe the Garlic Chickens on the Kiev label........

Great thread, and agree with all, however, another part of growing old is respecting other peoples views, and there are Soul people out there who are quiet happy listening to the sounds they are familiar with, and that view should also be respected.

That's the one, i wonder if it's rarer than the original ? daft question i know, but the original is on verve so they'll be 1000's of copies printed of it, but maybe not has many boots ?

Any info on the 'World Soul' Pressing that crops up sometimes ? ( Titled 'Walk on by', instead of, ' You can split ' ) it doesn't look like a UK pressing. Not often seen.

Ode to a night shift worker, i'll be singing those words to myself tonight

Levi Jackson - This beautiful day Emanual Laskey - i'm a peace loving man The Legends - Fear not Barbara Carr - Mama told me The Bleu Lights - They don't know my heart

Never noticed the difference before, however i usually have my fingers in my ears when it's playing.....

Happy new year to one and all.......... Best Regards John

Heard The Tams played twice this last weekend, & both times the floor was packed, maybe the next big sound, D.J's get your copies out, give em a clean & get them on the decks.
