I'd say that was the best shop I've been to in Dam too0, freindly staff too, its in the 9 streets area if my memories serve me well, and had some wonderful orig funk albu8ms on display behind the counter last time I was there.

Alabama shakes, just came across this act on r6 this morning, and mighty fine they are too, anyone else like it? have the album? seen them? top notch on this track at least methinks!

top stuff youth! !

Ptetty certain this was early 87, I'd say around spring time.

I think a lot of folks from other scenes would find it pretty bizzarre that Dj's and collectors dont want to share there music and ideas on the northern soul scene.

cant believe how big 'pegs' were!

shite, I'd love to be there, but the missus is bleeding working nights again! top artist.

some marking, probably not the one's your describing, can be quite evocotive and apealing, who was he or she? are they still living ect. I have a pressing with 'pete lawson' scrawled on it that I'd never part with even though I wasnt close to pete, he was one of the scene's beautiful, mental characters.

noin alcoholic bar I seem to remember?

great prod and song on this, and the voice aint as bad as much of his stuff but It'd be better with a whole lot of other 60's soul singers vocal on it. I can hear a fantastic version by chuck or Clyde Mcphater in my head.

oh christ pass me the rennies, those words are proper sticking in my throat, LP only? I want one!

I was just asking about the state of play in general and honestly hadnt considered 'the true meaning of modern soul', but its certainly been informative, I'd assumed there was a little more coherance to the scene, if by the sound of it, you can call it a scene, rather than various scenes.

I think what's really dawned on me recently is that in all too many nights/ nighters of the northern ilk the focus is on collecting and collectors, or even ego's and egoing, rather than purely the music, its probably not as bad as it was in the 8ts and 9ts, when nighters were often allnight record fairs for many, but there's still a sizable portion who never dance and seldom listen.

Boogie? indie soul? club classics?

Interesting, What did he play Steve?

great point, please dont take ignorance on my or anyone else's part for contempt.

Sorry Chris, I really will try to make to next one, but for me, and what I meant by modern was uptempo sounds from the 7ts to current releases, crossover (tends) to be lttle easier on the feet. But hey what the hell do I know, that was the point in asking in the first place, what role does crossover play on the modern scene nowdays? Would I hear, say a midtempo, super soulful groove in the same set as some contemporary soulful house tune?

Bob sinclair is just plain terrible Keith imo.

Is there an instrumental version?

Thanks Pete, I suspected 'the lord said' was hard. gloria's not a bad version, the verse's are ok but the chorus a little weak.
