Does Anyone Have A Soundfile Of
Colt 45s Lady, lady: Does anyone have a soundfile of this track, in MP3 format (preferably) ? If so, I'd love to have a copy, having been lucky enough to hear it, a while ago. Thanks, in advance...

Wanted - Couple Of Intrumentals Matta Baby/subway Riders
Yes, I've heard that, in the past, as well, I think instrumentals are fine, as I started off, buying 6x6, all those years ago; even have the Comp LP which was devoted to them. Funny, but I bet you the seller of the '45s your looking for, might not like Intrs, but will try and charge you.........££££ sorry, I don't have any of those, you mention, but Good luck from another fan of instrumentals...

What Is "two-step"?
who cares? just dance to the music, rather than bothering to classify it; If you like the track, that's good enough, isn't it?

Ike Turner
-By a coincidence, recently, I'd been listening, on my portable CD player, to some of his, and Tina's work; will they play 'funky Mule' at his funeral?? Sad news, but we do, at least, have his recordings, like, for example, the original recording of 'I idolize you'; real deep, down and dirty, bluesy song.. R.I.P Ike; you were a real hip guy

Northern And Funk
What this scene needs is a..... ....Pope, Ayatollah, or Imam.. .....of Rare/Northern Soul.... pronouncing on the 'keeping of the faith' (???) ..who's for the first Public Execution, of a Soul-Heretic?

Playing Rare Originals @ Venues: Does It Make Sense?
Well said Mr. D. I have, as a simple punter, thought about this for a number of years; in fact I recall commenting, to a certain DJ, at a well-regarded venue, on his box-full of blank-label boots. The records you talk about are treasures, and, frequently, the Master Tape has been lost, so, whilst their exposure to play-wear is limited, they are not going to last for ever. The most important element is the sound; it's what's in the groove that counts, not the medium, through which it is played, ultimately.

Northern And Funk
WELL SAID, Dave Thorley; I recall being told, by someone, some 6 to 7 years ago, that the NS scene was 'all R&B now....' (!!!!!!) There is, in any, interest group, for want of a better word, a 'fundamentalist tendency', who believes that only they know what really is, for example, Northern Soul, or a track fit to be played at such an event. Frankly, I find this type of 'True believer', amusing, in their denunciation, of any thing they don't like, for it must be a..... .....work of the devil???????......

Songs That Make You Sit Down
Soul Brother Inc.-Pyramid...Not a bad track, IMHO;been played at a 6Ts 'Do' ....But, records to 'make me sit down': any 'clanky' R&B track Billy Ocean-'Love really hurts without you'-YES!!!!, (aaaagh) ...and any track that does not appeal to me; and that is the important thing, 'cos 'SOUL' covers a lot of different tastes, and resulting sounds, and that's why the scene is so long-lived.

Sticky Dancefloors
Likewise-the only way to move-I'd recommend the Kent Soul Club Venue Floor, (Function Rooms, Star Hill Rochester); but the leather soles are the way to 'glide'

Chart Motown
Who was that by? (joke) 'Love is like an itching in my heart'-yes, yes, a brilliant track, but then it should be, since the Funk brothers were Playing.... Playing chart sounds; 'Ain't No Mountain H...' has been played at the 100 Club; The main issue is that there is so much rarer, and lesser known material, which is what is expected at 'Scene' nights. However, being too prescriptive is what eventually destroys people's enjoyment, of the scene, and with it, the scene, itself...

The Silly Season
DID Ian Levine produce this???-I recall that it is on 'Jumping at the Go-Go' (?) So someone else must have thought it worthy, in some way... In any case, NS/Rare Soul covers a wide range of styles; there are some truly awful records in all of these genres; funny, I keep thinking of R&B, though.....
