Just a pointer... If you want to post about the night then it's customary to do it in the actual Event thread in the Events Calendar. This place is really meant for DJs to post their playlists. Regards, Dave (Site Mod Team)

Anything that gets Mr Anderson telling a few stories gets a big thumbs up from me too. Regards, Dave

Have moved to Sales as it's more suited to here. Regards, Dave (Mod Forum Team)

The lady you wouldn't want to be around is in fact the late great..... Linda Jones. #2 is arguably the greatest individual songwriter and producer to contribute to NS... Van Mccoy #3 is The Ad Libs #4 is Weldon A McDougal III of course, with my copy of Larry Clinton, that he helped produce. #5 is.... Yep... Bobby Robinson. You got your nominations in? Regards, Dave

Go on.... push the boat out Pete and go check 'em out. Take a stab and see if you're right. ;-) Regards, Dave

Had some great nominations so far. Lots of variation and a few surprise along the way too. Here's a few of the early front runners to be the very first inductees! Here's a link to the list of nominations up to now: To make your nominations simply click on here: You gotta be in it - to win it! Regards, Dave

I baulked when I saw it too! Regards, Dave

What a fantastic piece of footage! I've never seen that before! I think, recorded at 447 North 60th Street in West Philly, in the basement of Joe Stevenson's house! (Same place that Bernie Williams and Gene Woodbury were done), then leased to Haral Records before being released on Bell, who distributed Haral. Carl Helm was a Philly DJ, so maybe he had some connection to Haral? Varell Johnson was a Philly record guy too. He worked with Frankie Beverly's Maze. Great catch Mike. Regards, Dave

Thread now moved to more appropriate: Radio Forum Regards, Dave (Mod Team)

Can't let that pass Mate. The really sad thing is that you put the chance to enjoy the company and sing and dance alongside LEGENDS, in their own back yards, alongside their family members in many cases, behind some kind of 'holier than thou', misguided loyalty to a scene a million miles away from the people who actually created the music that's at it's very core. eg. Me: "Hello Mate, Can I help you with that drum set?" HIM: "That would be great!" ME: "Jeeze, that was hard work, fancy a beer now we've finished" HIM: "Sure, what they call you?" "ME: "Dave, you?" HIM: "Willie, Willie Henderson, I'm with the band". The Soul Trips to the US were fantastic if you sucked it all up. They were hugely chaotic by their very nature. You never knew who was going to turn up next. Many of us were running round like blue arsed flies in case we missed anybody. I'm not talking just major stars here I'm talking people like group members who you'd given up hope of ever meeting, they came out in droves to be honoured by people like me and lots of my mates. (And in most cases put a few $$s in their pockets). And for those memories alone I'll always buy a beer for the people who set it all up. Not falling out with you, but just putting forward my personal view. Regards, Dave

Kev, 350/400 depending on condition I reckon. Good Luck Mate. If he has any sleeved Mint REO 45s I'm yer Man! Regards, Dave

I gave it only a 1 I'm afraid. Mainly because I thought it was boring! Same old talking heads telling same old anecdotes (with a couple of new ones probably thought up the day before?) Just saw it as an ad for a film by vested interests, which will probably also bore the arse off me. Maybe it's just me, but none of this affects me, affects what I do, or influences me at all. And to top it all off......Waterman, Blackburn, Stansfield, Norman Jay (MBE...ooooh!), Stringfellow etc! But no Goodies doing Black Pudding Bertha!? What's all that about then? Not enough in these programmes about the music I feel. I enjoyed Martin Freeman's Detroit documentary much more. And NOTHING will ever match Ian Levine's TSWONS. Regards, Dave

Thousands did it in 1980. See you in 20 years when you can bore us all wanting to relive your yoof! LOL! Regards, Dave

Yep, It's all being prepared behind the scenes. Should be ready shortly. ;-) Regards, Dave

Just to update Members..... The Soul Source Northern Soul Hall Of Fame is almost in place. We are hoping to establish it and start receiving nominations on 01 August. Thinking caps on Peeps! Regards, Dave

Guide books are like guide dogs......best used by the blind. Regards, Dave

Dave, I'd have thought this was at least as hard to find as the others on the logo. I've only ever had one of these whereas I've had or had the opportunity to own many a Tony Middleton or Edwin Starr demo. Great record. Regards, Dave

Hi Dave, Have PM'd you. Regards, Dave

A number of Members have suggested that Soul Source could establish a Northern Soul Hall Of Fame which the site believes could be a great asset. Not only would it give recognition to people who we, the fans, actually believe should be recognised but, if developed in a way that inductees have their own page(s), bios and whatever else is deemed worthy, could in fact create a place that could contain information about our heroes/heroines all in one location. So to that end Mike has given us the go ahead to see if we can get it off the ground. Ms Lorraine Chandler, who first suggested the project and I will do the initial legwork but it's planned that Members of the site play a full part in it's development. It's envisaged that it would work in a similar fashion to the US based HOFs in that a Board with a cross spectrum interest would select inductees from a list of nominations in a series of categories. Therefore the first thing to do is to ask for volunteers for The Board. Please don't feel that you need to be an intense anorak or that you've not been around long, enough, don't collect 45s or are excluded for whatever reason. This will only be worthwhile if it's the result of a broad mix of fans. If you're a Northern Soul fan, you're qualified. We're looking for an initial six volunteers and each Board member will share an equal responsibility. You can volunteer via this thread or via PM if you prefer. Looking forward to hearing from anyone that fancies pitching in. Lets see if this great idea is doable. Regards, Dave

Lorraine, I've PM'd you. Check your messages and we'll see if we can get something off the ground. Regards, Dave (Mod Team)

Anyone ever seen a promo of either LP? Regards, Dave

Reflections Romeo And Juliet on Golden World San Remo Strings Hungry For Love on Ric Tic That's all folks. Regards, Dave

Proper! Regards, Dave

Good. I hope they took their overhyped prices with them too. Regards, Dave
