If in doubt stick any copy that you own in the bin, the world will be a better place for it.

And that would be £20 well spent.

The scenes poorer without characters like James.

But sheep are safer.

I actually felt sorry for the female DJ because she was getting an awful lot of grief for playing a few cheap records (bootlegs, reissues or whatever they were) at a local event. Is that really a threat to those who are obsessed with expensive records?

Good to see this thread going some way to redressing a sense of balance.

There was a real pack mentality / public lynching feel to the previous one.

major league soul music

I don't know that either!

So pls reserve

Thanks again.

39. Vision of paradise - Benny Johnson - Today 1525 - EX

40. Thats when it hurts - Terry Huff - Mainsteam 5585 - EX

Two lovely 70s records (especially IMO the flip of Terry Huff 'Just Not Enough Love')- if I didn't have them already I'd snap these up!

Not known to me, but I'll take a punt on them.

Pls reserve for me, Thanks.

For across the board quality uptempo soul, Arthur Fenn.

I would like to nominate:-

Terry Jones - for his selection of awesome soul records and his stage presence, simply magic.

One of very few DJs I've seen that have actually "worked the floor"

Impressive to watch.

.At £20 a head it took the piss a bit hearing same ones over and over again

Imagine how those lads would have felt, they turned up at 4.30am & were still charged the full £20 to get in

Venue closed at 6am. Gutted I'd say.

If DJ's are popping in and out and not there for the whole event how about having somone write down in big letters a list of what has been played in the sets before them so that they aren't tempted to repeat.

A common sense approach.

Must be on the wrong site !!!!!! I thought this was a nortern soul site ?????????????????

Whats nortern soul?

I had to watch it again.............

Me too. Its the theatrical equivalent of a car crash.

One of the things I always liked about the scene was that it was always a bit underground & slightly cool.

Dance competitions posted up in You Tube like the one below are ruining it!

Viewed one way its hilarious, in another way its a bad joke.

All thats missing from that circus ring is the promoter to come in dressed as a ring master and a clowns car

Parp parp.

Search out the Prequel To Carlitos Way. Brilliant film, brilliant sound track.

Should anybody be visiting the shop, don't be too embarrassed to ask for the really good stuff, which they keep in boxes under the counter

Who do you think would win in a fight between a sausage roll and a minced pie?

BLACKWINGS HAS MY ANGEL

SATAN IN HIGH HEELS,

DOING THE DEVILS WILL.

A WALKING LESSON IN LOVE

SHE'S GOT A TALENT FOR LOVIN

These lyrics always make me smile. Ive met a few like this.

Kev

have you got her phone number?

Not a soul record, but worthy of inclusion on grounds of comic appeal...

"You walked into the party/Like you were walking onto a yacht/Your hat strategically dipped below one eye/Your scarf it was apricot/You had one eye in the mirror/As you watched yourself gavotte" ("You're So Vain")

Understanding - Patrick Green

"That lady you saw me talking to,

She was a second cousin of mine.

It wasn't really necessary

For you to act such a clown."

Over a stately but swinging soul background, complete with horns and female chorus (a wonderful cameo by Jewel Bass), the song quickly becomes an anthem for put-upon males, the story of a righteous man throwing off an emotional burden.

The signature line--the line that defines the song and burns itself into your memory--is:

"Seven years bad luck.

Broke the mirror in my pickup truck."

No scene is pefect. Northern Soul is far from it.

If you are go looking for problems/issues that is what you will find.

Soul Bros, lovely sincere people - fantastic shop.

Sadly no soundfiles on web site, unlike Crazybeat.

This normally is just so hard to sell even at its "book" price of 25o UKP....

If anybody has a M- copy for £250 I'd be interested.

Saw Sham 69's Jimmy Pursey in Hanley cop shop once & he claimed he'd been to Wigan, don't think he was very impressed though.

Thats probable. He went to Woking Centre Halls mid/late 70s.

I met him a couple of times & he was a solid bloke.

Quite a few people from Woking made the trip to Wigan.

Paul Weller also lived in Woking.

My mate Dave Grigglestone was always popping round his house for this n that.

I couldn't see what all the fuss was about.
