History repeats itself.

Tell me more.......

Any body know whats left in there ie. unheard? How is the stuff stored these days - has all the stuff been archived on computer for future use? How have the few leaks that occured actually happened? Assuming that 40 yrs on they still have loads of stuff in the vault, security must have been overall really impressive. Col.

Cheers for posting, I really like it. Col.

Really? I have that on a week-ender freebie CD. Hasn't made any impression on me to date. Will check & persevere! Ref future, nobody knows it all - dust off them B sides! Col.

I can see this thread going a bit 'elitist' Can't wait to hear from Mr Dull from Dullville, with his top 10 cover-ups that he doesn't play out.

Good news. I've found an mp3 with a fan fare that takes more account of the earlier years you spent on the project. Beerbarrel.mp3

Funny enough I've just started listening to the CD John gave away on the door at the recent RSG anniv. About 10 hours of music. Brilliant. Thanks John Col.

Nice work Dave Four Trumpet Fanfare.mp3

Am I alone in thinking this is truly awful load of old pap. Dire lyrics & a helium filled delivery. Best summed up in one word, trite. Bin it before it causes some real damage. Col

TB also playing Belita Woods C/U

Todays HOT sound for me is Pauline Shivers - Wont you Come Back Home. Secured TODAY for the pricely sum of £15. Heard the leg end that is Dave Abbott playing it out a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know much about it? Col.

Hi Kev, Just had a look at your site, v.impressed. See you have a base up the road from me - in Farnham. I'm fairly sure that I used to race off-road enduros with the guys in your building. Small world, eh? Col.

I think I read about this in the Daily Mail. They said it was well worth a listen. Col

Thanks for help

Hi Ken, Cheers for posting up. Just started playing through. Love that Shades Of Blue track. I was really taken aback when somebody said they were white artists. Col.

Thanks for your observations Mr Codfromderby. I have taken on board your comments and will pass them on in due course. You may be interested to know that he also intends to present a graphical nationwide map, with hot spots. That way fellow soulies will be able to avoid areas with certain disproportionate levels of either say people that are dull as dishwater barking mad.

Hi Steve, could still be a good topic. Sorry you feel that way. Col.

Yes I know exactly where you are coming from. But he did record a version of it according to the link below on Album D'angelo? Check out https://www.lyricsxp.com/lyrics/a/ain_t_no_...e_al_green.html Col.

Very funny you lot. Surely somebody must take this report seriously.

A friend of mine as part of his degree course is due to submit a paper on the demographics of northern soul. After extensive research on the scene, his findings are nearing completion. Some parts of the paper make quite interesting reading. For example during a study on the social interaction and sociability of soulies as classified by gender, some interesting differences are noted ie Males: 12% Barking mad 70% Reasonable levels of sociability 18% Dull as dish water Females 19% Barking mad 75% Reasonable levels of sociability 6% Dull as dish water I wonder what your thoughts on this are? Col.

Is this really Al Green? Not the sort of vocal delivery I was expecting.....

is that a claim to fame or a disclaimer?

Oh yes I do! ...... by Pikeys Dog, when he's angry with me. Col.

I do peoples heads in.
