Will be interesting to read your playlist, as a lot of soul night playlist read like the back a soul collection from a 90's cd. once again, good luck

Northern soul scene is alive in the present because we are alive, not so sure we will leave a 'legacy', not sure in 50 years time when we are all gone, that the Northern Soul scene will still be here. 3 cheers for past and present, but 'Legacy', not so sure. Perhaps another debating point

Although not quite a teenager in the late 60's early 70's Motown influenced me greatly However, it was the Small faces, Humble Pie, Free, Ten years after, Taste then Rory Gallagher which became my main interest Going on my own to sheffield city hall from Barnsley at 13 to see Wishbone Ash and Rory Gallagher, this then lead me to finding original american artists like Sonny Boy Williamson, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells etc, then Northern soul, 2 tone and Ska got thrown into the melting pot, but i'm really a Blues Boy at heart.

Excellent set, not fair to pick any out but Emanuel Laskey what a tune

In a nutshell

I asked a similar question last week, concensus of opinion was that, if it's a legitimate pressing it's ok. However same qustion asked on a different forum lat year and I got a completely different answer. Basically go with what you are comfortable with, I tend to go with original, be it 12" or 7" and leave the legitimate pressings alone, but thats just me. ATB on that one

Moved to newark 2 years ago and got to know the boys this year, Ride mainly with Armed forces scooter club

14 of us from Newark for scarboro in same hotel, just do b&b's mainly these days, know what you mean about the tower, Knackered my suspension at I of W last year, make no wonder I fell off

Hi mate If weather good will probs ride through on the saturday just for the day as it's not far from Newark. Got scarboro and cleethorpes booked up so far for next year, will fit in more as the year progresses. atb dekka

Maybe worth a call and try and get the boy a set, like I say i'm sure he will be far happier with scoot scene

It's a scooter rally mate 17th November. My advice is stick to the scooter rallies, (nationals and regional) more friendly, more respectfull, better etiquette, Great mix of music and people (No handbaggers, bandwagon jumpers,) outsider piss heads trying to take the mick would soon be dealt with, rapid. Local soul nights can be clicky and snobby, choose wisely and be among friends. Otherwise, good luck

Shame about the Scooter, what happened did you have an accident? Good luck and maybe see you DJ on the scooter scene, a lot friendlier than the soul scene

Pretty conclusive what everyone thinks then. Guess i'm wrong. I stand corrected Least I was right with my original thoughts, until swayed on here by others, oh well live and learn

Singles released retrospectively from albums, 'cashing in' are and I don't care how you dress them up are Boots.

wasn't talking about unreleased, read the post Talking specifically about retrospective i.e popular album track being pressed 'booted' as a single

But that makes it original vinyl, thats my point. fat possum LP was released in 1998, that is the original, pyramid is a boot

Not too long ago I argued the toss that Johnnie Taylor - Blues in the Night - Stax was not a boot It was released officially by stax in 2006. I conceded the point as it was retrospective it must be a boot. I immediately bought the album. R.L Burnside has had a release of 'it's bad you know' on Pyramid records someone is selling this record for £50 I immediately flagged it as a boot. Pikeys dog argued that it isn't a boot and immediately cited kent etc. I say all records that are not original vinyl are boots, anyone else agree. After all would you play out kent, Grapevine etc at an OVO event, I certainly would not

Any one can press a record in retrospect. It's a Boot

Boot

Mate I can well believe it, don't know whats worse the shit you talk or the shit they sell Hope your well Kev

First time I noticed the tat mountain was years ago at Prestatyn, and those days it was proper nighter peeps attending. So weigh that one up,

'Function at the Junction' Right where's my free weekend trip

A man with a sense of humour, whoop whoop Enjoy

Mate Am I reading this post right, are you now a promoter? If so 72 to 2012 is a big bloody jump, are you Neo? Is your soul night called the nebuchadnezzar? Hope you find the truth and your night does well, cos I for one am in need of saving, now wheres those bloody pills

Fantastic record for a great price there Kev
