Its a secret weakness of mine, the earlier the better, jersey stuff on keytronics, movin, 111 east ect, is where its at for me in this genre.

Whats Next
When I first got into the scene it was beat ballads, 15 year since it were crossover, nowadays everyones on the funky northern tip. Wha'st next? Gospel, uptemto 7ts (stuff termed too disco int past) or even a return to soulful house?

The Next Generation
I suppose thats the real lagacy of this scene and back from the first mod generations, even surpassing the music, its the exclusitity the feeling of being into something different, something thats yours, or more importantly ours.

Is Evil Bay So Evil?
I used discogs a lot about 5 years ago to buy classic house and proto rave stuff, to replace the stuff i'd sold to buy northern, LOL. I could buy the same tunes now for around 1/2 the price of less!

Is Evil Bay So Evil?
Along with paypal fee's, I find for selling low value stuff, its absolutely an absolute rip off to frank, but thanks I'll be mindful of how good value they are next time I call at sotherby's.

the bleeding prices they charge to sell things are mate, and there nowhere near as explicit as they could be about charges.

The Next Generation
Seems like there's a growning crowd looking for an authentic, credible, alternative to the ultra comercial, 3rd hand regurgatations that pass for youth culture nowadays, strangly enough as George pionted out in the excellent last issue of soul up north this seems to be concentrated in the more cosmopolitian city areas, just the kinda kids who shunned the scene in its hey day. When Northern soul was all about kids from the provinces. Thats only an issue as many city kid hipsters are notoriously fickle in there aproach to culture. Hope those on board, stay on board.
