  1. Wonderful clip ... i need this book !
  2. sounds like clapping to me. seems to continue for 4 bars, then into the chorus? probably ........
  3. Drum intro to Edward Hamiltons 'im gonna love you' i think the drummer hit a dustbin lid, instead of the snare drum EDIT: sounds like band leader twatted something on the 4, to bring the rest in on 1 ? it does it a few bars later as well ? hmmmm
  4. Very sad. if any record had to 'Epitomise' the Northern scene, it has to be 'You don't love me' RIP friend, i'm gonna play your song LOUD !
  5. Surely the first 'Northern Soul' Niter was at the Twisted Wheel ? The phrase wasn't coined until a certain Mr Godin paid a visit . I know its a daft statement, but before that it was Rhythm & Soul , R&B/Mod clubs... same music obviously, but no 'Northern'
  6. Wonderful ! a little backing vocals would have made it extra wonderful
  7. i have a copy of Brothers gonna work it out . it has 3 tiny edge cracks, but otherwise pretty much mint. the 'cracks' don't affect the playing surface, but because of this, you can have it for cost of recorded postage
  8. i remember seeing this a few years back, scoured YouTube/Google tonight, with no luck. anyone got link hidden somewhere?
  9. was that the first £100 record? i have vague memories of it being a big topic of conversation , 77 ish
  10. gotta love Barbara Lynn, huge talent, great singer and a left handed guitarist (like myself) so many wonderful records to choose from
  11. looks a good do
  12. Bridlington! For the wide variety of sounds . 5 rooms: main ballroom is classic Northern soul and current floor fillers Motown cafe: does what it says on the tin, classic 60’s & 70’s Motown Clubroom: Spotlights clubs from across the country, this is my favourite room, you hear a fabulous range of stuff in here Then there are the Modern, Rare and Boogaloo/Mod rooms . Remember , every room has its own bar and proper dance floor . So no wandering about , looking for a drink I have tickets , should you decide to buy some . £30 for the whole weekend
  13. Jeanette !
  14. I'd buy The New Wanderers , if available seperate
  15. THAT is the playlist that kickstarted my journey
  16. unless you 'know' for sure, theres no way of telling on any late 20th century recording, if an upright (acoustic)or an electric bass is being used. i defy anyone to know otherwise. ? slap bass is a different playing style entirely, so that doesnt count
  17. was this an AR biggie? i seem to remember him being associated with it ?
  18. i believe the final niter at ST Ives was sept 77
  19. Reminds me of Oddfellows. Crazy prices, on this and many others
  20. ah, cheers for the info. much appreciated
