There's one on gemm for $15

I think I was there, tell me, was it at Cleethorpes 'fantasy Island'

Not read all the threads for the weekend, but interesting to note how many are saying 'dance floor busy allnight' I wonder what that means exactly, mmmmmmm

Looking for this if anyone has it

Well done young man love the Buddy McKnight

Absolutely fabulous to see British bands making their own music drawing inspiration from American soul music beware of the soul police on here though. (If it ain't American and black it can't possibly be soul)

Great playlists, definitely somewhere I would go for a local ATB night

All the American boys certainly enjoyed the Royalties, they soon shut up when the cheques started coming in, including BW

taking nothing away from B.W. But love the history of british boys born in the 40's learning their guitars in the 50's listening to American RnB full credit I say, I ask one question, would that have been anyone of us? Long live the Stones

Jagger and Richards for me everytime

Not easy to get these days, prefer the flip myself

Aye up Terry, how ya doing mate yep agree, especially sheridans, bleeding freezing in the winter. The music took us there, as all the places you and I frequented. The music is the driver, fook what the place looks like. As for the places the grockles go to, wouldn't be seen dead not because of the venue but because of them.

What a stupid thread People don't go to places because of how clean or unclean they are, they go because it suits their musical preference.

I appreciate that Chalky, but some serious advertisement going on here and a lot of people in the soul scene have genuine desire to give to less fortunate, hope Barry doesn't mind me saying, he helps out with food banks, sorry Barry if i'm out of order, that's one example, there are many more, I would genuinely favour to purchase an item like this if I knew some proceeds were going to a worthy cause. that's the only reason I ask, sorry if i'm coming across abit blunt

Usually buy them from charity shops ta very much, or other outlets which I know that proceeds go to charity, if you knew me you would know I was telling the truth, may I, answer your question with a question, Why will no proceeds be going to charity?

Will a percentage of the proceeds go to charity?. That would be the only reason I would ever buy this book, it seems to me while I still have my memory everything is still colour illustrated

I think following on from Paul's post, probably a good story about the ordinary joe's on the scene would perhaps be to regionilize a collective, i.e The Wolverhampton Story, this could be on the lines of say the book Pete Townsend used for quadrophenia, which tells the story of Newark mods. This would introduce the characters and would tell their stories individually and also collectively as well as giving a good insight into the Northern soul scene through the eyes of ordinary people with some quite unbelievable tales to tell I think one book or film or documentary about one person would perhaps not capture peoples attention or interest as well as a collective. The truth is always stranger and more interesting than fiction, don't you agree?

I understand pete and that's exactly what i'm talking about, 'it's not all about me' and that's what seperates people. I understand your thread though, it's the people that don't who would have the most fantastical tale to tell. I think peeps like Ted Massey would have a lovely tale to tell, or even yourself or terry, or Paul aka MrC, but maybe that's just me. For instance most peeps don't know about the poker room for the wolves lads to the side of the stage at wigan atb dekka

Hi pete Maybe if I could ask a question with a question Would you want to write a book? Maybe some people, just don't see themselves as special, people with humility, unlike some people, even on here who seem to be living 9 lives consequtively, who then appear to be boorish and a braggart, Trouble is, through our humility we don't perceive ourselves as special, throughout history there are many heroes who shun the limelight. That is a shame but I understand that perhaps they just see themselves as ordinary and just want to get on with their lives, humility at it's very best, is a god given gift.

Trust in your records or don't do it

Just want to say, what a great thread this has been cheers Len for all your responses

I think as always the 'scene' will find it's own level, smaller clubs playing more specialised variations, big clubs for the masses until the masses have buggered off, then back to finding it's own level again. I for one am optimistic for the future 'scene' and it's ever lasting longevity. Younger generations on the soul and scooter scene which are inextricably linked will keep the music alive
