1975 The Windmill Youth Club, Conisbro Dean Roach + Plus Guest DJs (Seriously) The Place Youth Club, Conisbro The Assembly Rooms, Rotherham Baileys nappy nights, Doncaster The Brickyard WMC, Mexbro Boylans Record Shop, Conisbro 1976 First step into the big time - Four Seasons (Later Rudies) Disco, Scarboro. Cleethorpes WinterGardens. First Nighter, and the only 4th year on the train. Why did they not have O Levels in Northern Soul!!!! Ed

Now that does ring a bell, or pluck a string in this case. Was it uncovered? Ed

Well What a splendid offer. If you email me your address at edyc1@aol.com, I will post a tape of some of my 'slightly obscure' tunes in return for a tape of your 'slightly obscure' tunes including instrumentals. Sorted. (Always wondered what tape swoppers were!!)

A little tip. If you can use the internet to pick up radio, try a few USA stations offering R & B/ Soul etc. Chicago/NewYork stations have some great Oldies shows and its worth the try. Even in the 80s, most of the records played at soul venues, especially Northern, were still oldies, and the Jazz Funk scene played - well - Jazz Funk with not much soul as I remember (Another brick in the wall - seriously). Ed

Looking through some of the 'fave' records listed on recent polls, some of them I like now but could not stand the first time I heard them. Top of the List 'Don Varner - Tear Stained Face' Loathed this at first but years later complete change of heart and I love it. Any other nominations?? Ed

Thanks for all your help, but none of the suggestions jump out. I guess I will have to go to a revival night over there and quiz the Old Jocks. I am guessing it was a Poke spin, and probably covered up or an acetate, as its never come out on the 100 or so CDs I have aquired. I am not sure my vocal interpretation of the tune will be any more use than the ding ding ding written down. Is that Leaking Boot chippy still open up the road? Ed

You would have thought the Church would not want to be associated with the once raunchy Miss Lauper, but as you know SEX SELLS. I would have thought a mint original Gospel Classics in a walmart cover was more fitting. Shame on you Pastor. Praise the Lord.

Yeh The wheeltappers and shunters club. Satdi neets. Order Order. Them wa days lad.

Not sure, but the dancefloor used to fill up. Then again it did for Black Soul Music. Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Black Soul. Im sticking to Ding ding ding. Forget Na Na Na. Ed

Lets guess. You Clot (old style) You Chin (new style) You Chav (topical) You Clit (risky) You Carp (fishy) You Cuty (nice and PC) AT LEAST YOU DID NOT JUDGE THE POOR SOD. How much did they offer, I can write Clive over Ray for a few bob. Ed

No Nope, none of them. Falbala - Jesus. More like a very basic Champion with a driving beat from the lead guitar. Played at the same time as stuff like broadway sissy, similar speed in terms of dancing. Ding ding ding intro like a harder version of the intro to 'Your love makes me Lonely'. Now I cant stop twanging my imaginary guitar string. Ed

Willie J & Co - Boogie with your baby Eddie Parker - Love you baby JL & TCOT - Manifesto Vibrations - Cause your mine Sandi Sheldon - Gonna Make you love me Triumphs - Coming to your rescue - The definition of 'get on that floor. Ed

Is that the one you won on Bullseye. We all know Jim Bowen started off as a DJ at the Wheel.

Look, there was no dongs only dings. No rings only dings. Some dings were faster than other dings, musically speaking. Anyway its about 28 years ago since I last heard it, but the dings still dinging. Come on you ding lovers whats the dinginging title/artist/label/value.

Trades considered. Everyone short on the dosh I suspect.. edyc1@aol.com Ed

Is it the 'instant' label with the saxaphone emblem and a red and white background? Ed

You see the problem was that the first wintergarden nighters had the DJs just through the door and you could go up and see the disc. Then they moved it up to the stage at the back and made it impossible to see what was being played. I blame the DJs. Probably covered up anyway. Ding ding ding. Ed

This is a real long shot. I only ever heard this at cleethorpes. Ok goes like this Ding ding ding,,,,,,,,ding ding,ding,ding ding ding ding. and repeat. A fast stomping instrumental with a distinct guitar opening. Sorry that all I got. For years I thought it was soul step by the dogs until I heard that tune off a CD and its not the same record. Think think think. Ed

With about 50 replies, some quality choices. In the days before it was called Northern Soul, I assume then that only mid to uptempo soul was played. Maybe the Northern Soul tag was a curse allowing too much variation to the core underground theme of danceable soul. In recent years I have noticed the RARESOUL being favoured to NORTHERN SOUL by many who insist it has to be a soul record in the first place. Ed

Although the words Northern Soul do not guarantee a record is in fact soulfull, it must be said that the majority are. Whats your top 3 that prove this point. My top 3 Tomangoes - I really love you baby - Washpan. Gwen Owens - Just say your wanted and needed - Velgo. Dena Barnes - If you ever walk out of my life - Inferno. Ed

First heard this at Wakefield Unity Hall, along with Seventh Wonder, Lovelites, and an instrumental of Fight the Power. Great toon. Ed

His other item he sold looked at bargain at £6.50 though, thats if you like fishing. Ed
