I like quite a lot of what I've heard. From a personal point of view, I could never figure out why so much of the Northern scene went so doggedly down the R&B route for 'new' sounds for so long, in particluar the early stuff and the stuff that is very 'country' etc to my ears, when the funkier stuff always seemed a more natural 'progression' . Just my taste and view.

Doubly surprising is that a proper UK rarity - Joe Matthews on Sue - acheived a fraction of the Jackie Edwards.

Mmmmmm, now, let's see..........I like the Supremes.....but, then, I also like Christine Cooper..........so.......which one is best? There's only one way to find out..................!!!!

That's it Matt..........

Depends what you mean by 'unknown' or 'not really known yet'.

Good price at £40 too.

I agree...............whilst also being fairly forthright too.

Spot on Rod.

Try reading my post properly Angela before commenting. Thanks,.

Spot on as well Steve. As you well know, being one of the DJs on the night, the crowd at Weston Super Mare on the Saturday of the Jubilee weekender certainly reflected this type of 'mood'. Whilst on the subject of Weston, another aspect of what is, to my mind at least, unacceptable in DJ terms is this nonsense of taking a classic Northern track and superimposing some unnecessary, banal and trite alternative lyric and vocal onto it - I refer here to the abomination that has been done to Luther Ingram. I would ask "why?", but I sadly know the answer, so no point in bothering to ask. Who buys this crap? What I would also like to know is why do people put up with this type of rubbish? They wear their 'Keep The Faith' paraphenalia and then do the exact opposite and trample all over the faith they so sanctimoniously advertise. Maybe that is not directly relevant to this topic thread, but it certainly is questionable DJing to my mind. As a paying and travelling punter that night (door tax for 2, 120 mile round trip from Cardiff plus £6 bridge toll), that sort of thing makes me feel short changed. I guess I should storm up to the decks and aggressively demand that such rubbish is taken off and "some Northern played" instead!! (I should stress, you Steve, Keith Money and Ginger played varied sets with a good nod to the mix of crowd that night)

I wouldn't argue with that Joan and it never ceases to amaze me how many records seem obvious to me yet people don't know them and vice versa. That's the beauty of it all.............or at least should be. But a lot of the comments on this thread make note of an increasing intolerance (always been there but seems to be getting worse) from 'hardcore oldies diehards' who will not tolerate anything outside of the narrow view of what they regard as the standards, the instantly recognisable and safe. Strange thing is, many of these people that I've observed (admittedly down south only in recent years) appear to be folk that may well have frequented Wigan and the like in the 70s and may well have not had a detailed interest in the scene since, but they seem to count a lot of Stafford or later 'classics' of the last 15/20 years in there too. Prime examples would be Jackie Wilson 'Because Of You' and Ruby Andrews 'Just Loving You' (I know not Stafford as such and both well known for a long time before, but have become 'standards' within the last 20 years). It is this reluctance to acknowledge (a) why they liked the scene in the first place (though I do wonder how many actually truly did), i.e. because it was different, vibrant and exciting; or, (b) that records they might not personally know are actually 'classics' by most reasonable definitions; or, © that others in the room may have travelled a lot further to hear a particular DJ and their less well-known stuff and that pressurising that DJ into complying with their narrow view of things is a form of selfish facism. And that latter point might be more symptomatic of a wider problem of intolerance and inflexibility in society and the very reason most of us first enjoyed the Northern/Rare Soul scene in the first place! Off my soapbox now and back to work. I thank you.

Well my contribution to this is, fresh or not, is this. I realise and fully accept the reality that many punters couldn't give a stuff about what format a DJ is playing something on. I think however that any self-respecting DJ should fundementally want to stick with the principles of OVO and I think it is disrespectful to play stuff off CDs or bootlegs/reissues/pressings when you know (or even just have a fair inkling) that the DJs beside you will have those very same sounds in their boxes on OVO - that is just plain LAZY and, frankly, arrogant. I attended a fairly large event recently where name DJs played big money, rare, classic oldies on pressings, denying a decent, principled collector/DJ the opportunity to play those same 45s in his set, out of his hard-gathered collection. Those DJs knew (or at least had a good idea) that he had those 45s on originals. Pathetic, arrogant, lazy and unacceptable. As for Colin Curtis, well before my time, but I know he is a true legend of the soul scene in the UK of all eras and formats, a pioneer and rightly still a leading light in championing new and obscure soul. But what has he done for the Northern Soul scene recently? If he pitched up at the Ton Of Dynamite room at Gloucester to play a batch of diligently dug-out discoveries/forgotten oldies/rare funk whatever, I would be in there like a shot to hear a man put together such a set. As a DJ at an oldies event - a complete irrelevance to me. Although, if he was digging out those forgotten Mecca sounds we hear so much about instead of the usual, same-old, same-old.......well, that would be a different thing altogether. That might be more in keeping with the Colin Curtis I have heard so much about over the years.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has published his own record price guide! F*ck me, our economy's in a worse mess that I thought!
