The rise of the 'NEW' soulie and the soul revolution.
As i said its passion and i think a justified contempt at what some newcomers excuse for taste is.

Quality classic, it was played regularly on the scene in the 80's. Far more relevant than many oldies given big plays today.

Problem is that records like our peggy and miss st james are often some the most popular oldies and can fill the floor more than the quality, proper rare oldies i grew up with, and thus have come to define what the scene is for many. Now that is shite! Even shitter than peggy march.

Well collecting records in general is becoming more popular. 60's and 70s soul and funk are more popular than they've ever been. Cant see why the two would make collecting on this scene decline. Hopefully many will see the light and collect the thousands of magnificent records that dont fall into nto the top 500 oldies.

The rise of the 'NEW' soulie and the soul revolution.
Re, people slagging newcomers tastes Its just passion really combined with frustration. I think for a lot of us that started on the scene in the 8ts, we came into the scene at a time when a lot of the, ahem, less soulful sounds had been dropped from playlists at nighters. So we were spared the like of peggy march, Holly st james ect. We saw that as progress. To have the often less than knowledgable returnees turn oldies nighters playlistss into something akin to wigan, circa, 77, was never going to go down well with me.

Is it me, but?
you might be right, I never spent more than £20 on a record back then, so might of been £30, I can remember thinking that's a lot, wouldn't pay that much for any record, lol. My top spend was for Roy Hamilton - panic, the guy also had Sam Dees for £20. that would be around 88

If the term northern soul had not come about ?
'Otis not the best artist on stax', blows your credibility for me, he is the king of soul IMHO, who on stax compares with that voice? that level of expression?

Ok fair cop, dave still rules, couldnt remember the details but thought it relevant to bring it up.

Is it me, but?
well I can remember Brownie paying £40 for it at the 100 club in about 87, you could have bought a lot of good tune for £40 back then, probably 4/5 Jeanette's anyway!

If the term northern soul had not come about ?
Wasnt there a thread about an advert for a Manchester band who played at the wheel and used the term to promote themselves? Havent dreamt this have it? It preceeded godin's use in print by a couple of years. Thus disputing his first use in print accolade.

Issue is rarer if this isnt?

think we'd have a far better soul scene personally, the NS baggage isn't helpful. Hey maybe we'd even have a retro influenced yet progressive, cool, upfront scene where people could play what the hell they liked without someone saying "this isn't Northern!". People might actually know what soul is at local nights instead of confusing it a few colloquial pop records that were big in a few discos in the 70's.

£400-450for a quick sale sounds realistic
