If I Had A Convertible And The Sun Was Shining
Sun shining, roof down, any Staple Singers album. Drove a friend to London once, listend to the Beach Boys all the way then he asked why i changed to the Dead Kennedys when we reached London, makes perfect sense to me.

Great Records With Truly Awful Intros?
Just for Dan In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a miltary court for a crime they didnt commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they servive as soldiers of fortune. if you have a problem, if no one else can help and if you can find them maybe you can hire the Soul bro's inc.......i i i im your guy and your my

Living With Non Soulies
I used to go out with a northern soul girl in the early 80's and hated it. I know its selfish but i dont want any other considerations at all nighters, so i swore i never would again. Then i met my wife at the 100 club about 9 years ago and have the best of both worlds, she loves the music and dancing but realy dislikes the "scene" thing. So we play music at home all the time but she rarely comes to nighters, bliss

Great Records With Truly Awful Intros?
Surely the worst ever..... theres a new girl living in my neighbourhood. URGH. Always hated those spoken build-up intros too, eg Soul bro's inc, great tune but toe curling start.

The Best Ender You Ever Heard
I dunno. why do you think i took a wife, Certainly wernt her cooking. I think the best ender would be Angelina oh Angelina, probably the only record that would make me want to leave a nighter. Nails down a black board.

James Walsh Gypsy Band
Didnt realise it cost that much. After an afternoon on the sauce once Jonny T was going to give me a copy as a prezzy, if i knew it was worth a 1er i'd have taken it. Class tune.

The Best Ender You Ever Heard
Lenny always finishes the welly nights with the O'jays - I love music. Always thought that was a nice touch, everyone leaves feeling very optomistic. Personaly Simsy i kin hate the four tops - baby i need your lovin cos it means its the end of the night and its at least 5 weeks till the next. Talking of which it IS 5 weeks till the next and i'll just be back in time i'll leave you to spell check l8rs Mark

Ace Spectrum "if You Were There"
I picked up the isley bros one for a quid in a second hand record shop in brighton about 6 months ago. he had a few copys there so if your in the area... it was in the needles area, a lot of soul in there so the locals could probably direct you.

Northern Scene
This topic got me on my regular nighter rant of people taking for granted what we have. Wigan, Yate,Stafford etc all had empty nights and people complaing about youngsters or music policy. Now theyre gone and people remember through rose tinted specs. The last 100 club was empty by its usual standards but it was the best nights music and dancing ever, till the next one. I get as much out of nighters now as i ever have and the 100 club, ncsc or wherever are far better than wigan yate or stafford cos i can go there and enjoy myself now. I love it more today than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow.
