I would like to hear more underplayed stuff played out instead of the same old , dont get out much and when I do I wonder why I bother could have stayed in with a compilation cd . On a personal note try to listen to more Phillidelphia International its a bit like cornflakes you forget how good it was .

Brought back memories White and Swales in Stockport looking through the import list and waiting all week to pick your order up . Walked past HMV in Stocky the other week and commented to Jacky that it was all grey haired customers , sign of the times I suppose . I still buy cds rather than download or stream I enjoy the possesion of music on something tangible . Apart the odd compilation not bought much soul from HMV its an overlooked genre and not very well stocked at all .

A dreadfull souless dirge fit for room 101 .

And thats why I would be a useless DJ because Jimmy Caster Its just begun is the best record to start any set anywhere regardless of genre fact 😉

Lee Dorsey was a boxer .

Horses for courses each to their own etc but those three would have me running to the door not the dancefloor .

Linda Jones fantastic but the O Jays for me everytime

Anyway how about ultrasonic cleaning ? Personally prefer lukewarm water and washing up liquid .😋

A cracking list of oldies classic tunes that were for the most part massive forty odd years ago , since then the scene has evolved and embraced many different styles and tempos . All good stuff though a lot depends on context , atmosphere , venue and company etc . Above all enjoy what you like but dont be afraid to dip your toe into the murky world of the more obscure and underplayed stuff you might just suprise yourself .

Thats it you have lit the blue touch paper now 😉

The soul scene is more complex than Brexit not just musically , politically we have been having the same arguements for the last 40 odd years and still not resolved them 😉 All good fun though

Here you go Grahame propper Northern enjoy

Big sounds were so 40 years ago tons of brilliant stuff out there of equal quality and dancibility ( is that a word ?) we all know where a northern tune is going so just get up and dance , be open minded and above all enjoy it . As for CD and mp3s played out not the way it should be done .

Nowadays you can get legit copies of most sounds on cds etc so for playing at home car etc sorted . Boots are just wrong and should carry no value at all . As for the sentencing its theft and deception do the crime do the time .

Sleeve notes on the back of MFPs Junior Walker Shotgun LP . " Music from the heart for the feet " sums it up nicely .

Very sad news RIP Grant

Just to throw you a curved ball my tenor guitar only four strings 🙄

Never really understand the need to write bpoks about the scene its not like any one outside of it is interested and if you were there you know allready . Having said that much better than the sugar coated one that Uncle Russ put out quite a few years back .

Utter crap for the re-invent your youth brigade . I,m all outraged now cheers😜

I will probably be slated but really dont give a toss about new blood go out to get away from kids .

And its dead dead good 😉

Look at the flyer if it says keep the faith anywhere on it avoid it like the plague , that will be probably 90% of venues . And DJs grow a pair and push some boundarys .

Perfectly articulated Sir 😀

It probably did Len and in the following few years the music expanded just look at the wonderfull diversity that Stafford brought about . But I take Joeys points , maybe its the exuburence of youth but in the early seventies from that initial rush of exitement of being a part of something very special 1975 it hit the buffers its hard to explain but it changed . As I have said in a previous post it still has the ability to suprise me and allthough I dont get out much still enjoy it.

After TOTPs and the tourists the genie was out of the bottle never the same after .
