How about the underdogs version of love's gone bad, OK not a UK hit, did it get a UK release? but common enough on vip, and so must have done OK US. Thinking of records like the deadbeats and some of the currently popular garage influenced records its definitely left an impression.

never though it was more that a couple of hundred

al Wilson a grand!!

I had, nowhere to run in my head as soon as I heard the title of the thread. Good call it about sums it up for me in terms of a northern motown sound. I I think stevie's ''uptight' deserves a mention for its sheer ferocity, as does juniors 'Road runner' reminds me of a lot of the wheel stuff.

You're spot on youth. Tis hiwthi I'm talking about. I've loved Gil for years, and I saw him in the 90s when he played gillies rock world in Manchester. first time he didn't show and his band played alone, the midnight express were awesome. So I aoologise, a school boy error.the live version is wicked, not heard before, any idea what album it's on?

esther's slaughters Gil's imho

I can understand DG being just pissed of in general about the British R and B boom, whether the British acts credited them or not. Bo didn't make diddly compared to the stones. I felt exactly the same way when the prodigy sold millions to divs, by sampling C. C. Rodgers and Marshall Jefferson's sublime 'Someday'.

Seem to remember dg having a dig at old Elton somewhere in print. Anyone?

3rd is pretty good, definitely a recent release, sounds like it's called supergirl

Thanks for the insight, Im certainly no social history expert, and I respect your views. For me the poor:white, black and every shade betwixt have been sold down the river politically by left right and centre.

Better put than my comment

Thought malcolm x did advocate racial segregation?

I would have thought a man like Mr Manship could and should have had the judgement to know selling this was wrong. Even if it came into his possession I'm sure he had contacts in other specialist collecting fields where he could have disposed of this item without offending the mainstay of his customers. I don't know but if after how long he's been record trader I'd say it was rather odd if he didn't have contacts to trade or pass this onto! However the guy wilfully made a discerned choice to get the best possible price by auctioning it himself. I'd say that's really, really distasteful given the context, as bad a Kosher butcher selling bacon or the Greg's Sausage roll Messiah. All done in the name of greed!

not sure Malcolm X or the panthers were too fussed about love and equality myself, get your point tho entirely

Two from me both obvious, but hard to fault, if you think you know what soul and haven't had the pleasure of these two, then I evy you https://youtu.be/eQPUTMU4Lho

I meant newcomers to djing not necessarily to the scene. Of which there are many.

I spose I just meant prepared to push the boundaries.

Contrary to my earliercomments. It's taken me a while but finally thought of a few:all seem to be missing in action. Killa (not heard of him for ages) Adam topping, come on Adam, it's been a year! And of course karl Heard. Not heard any new comers quite as progressively aggressive in their plays yet.

For me it's now more of a case of I would travel to a venue that puts on the kind of music I enjoy, and see upfront thread.

Couldn't have said it better another good example would be Was gobsmacked when I heard this played, wtf, but it works on the dance floor and has been popular in the last 12 months

I think chalky is pretty spot on as to its origins, but I'd say it was first used regularly about 10 /12 years ago, and with Steve cato's soul or nothing, Adam and mat's move on. I think there was a general appetite for a little more diversity in playlists. I I used the term to promote change in Stoke a little later.

Sorry guys rugby's back room, and Swintons , witton albions dolly room, va va voom, empty bottles, pumping hearts all doing it. Please feel free to add to the list.

here we go again all these have been played on what I'd term the upfront scene. but no doubt I'm going to get a tirade of abuse: as they were all played at wigan/ Stafford, or there not soul, or you cant dance to them, or there played out! delete as appropriate. Sheeze there are some ex rare soul guys who are titsed at not having a scene anymore! really your all welcome guys, you just need an open mind!

there you go it was only a matter of time.

I'd consider, soul function, Burnley, Go Go children, different strokes as some of the Key venues. tunes wise I'm hesitant to post for the sake of being berated by the rare soul crowd, and oldies crew for that matter. Best thing is to get yourself along to one of those venues.;
