Jimmie Raye - Philly Dog Around The World

p.s. I don't like soul music that much. Only Northern Soul. I never listen to 'normal' soul apart from old stuff like Al Green. Deep Soul means as much to me as Pink Flord. If we are talking soul, I get all the soul I need from the Jamaican rocksteady groups like The Techniques, The Sensations and The Paragons who did Curtis Mayfield better than he did himself.

What I'm saying is - in the 'old' days it didn't matter if it was by a black artist or a white artist, people didn't have the kind of mind-set they have nowadays, I'd dance to Julian Covey or The Outsiders and not realise it was different from Lou Pride...it was just a northern record. Nowadays I'd dance to the Lost Soul cos I think it's a great northern record. I wouldn't, however, dance to something like George Lemons because it's a pile of festering wank, despite it being black. So it works both ways.

Sorry, but if you dismiss the Paul Anka record out of hand like that I really don't think you understand the concept of Northern Soul, and I'm really not trying to be rude or start an argument but it's the absolute epitome of what a Northern Soul record should sound like. As is Determination by Dean Parrish. Or is what you mean that you are only into soul music per se and therefore not Northern?

Er, because it's a discussion board last time I looked, you know, where people express opinions - my opinion is that you are talking bollocks, that's all, doesn't mean I think you're a bad person

How anyone can say I'm On My Way isn't a soul record is beyond me. What is it, rockabilly??

There's a UK King lp as well...quite rare...not great

Listing these for a mate - anyone interested please get in touch BETTY WILSON - I'M YOURS - DAYCO EX £1500 REE FLORES - LOOK INTO MY HEART - M & H £800 LES CHANSONETTES - DON'T LET HIM HURT YOU - SHRINE EX £1000 GEORGE HOBSON - LET IT BE REAL - SOUND CITY MINT £800 cheers Pete

Why? I know you're joking but why does it make my taste in music worse than yours just because I prefer one record over another? Why are you in the right? IN MY OPINION the Joanie Sommers is better than the Magictones, thats all. This is why the scene was so great in the 70's - the soul police hadn't arrested everyone. :angry:

Ha ha, I was just waiting for someone to ask me that before I changed it, someone always does...you win a special cd of Lorraine Silver's greatest hits As for The Sweethearts, ask Mick Smith how much he sells it for, bet he says the same as me. There's one on Ebay as we speak...

I might get one if Prada do one

Saw them in pantomime at the Wolvo Grand, 1970 I think...with Susan Maughan. Top qiality entertainment for a 10 year old.

My God, I sell the Sweethearts for £40, it's not even rare! Sam & Dave came out on UK King I think, not even worth £20 on that label.

If it's red and white Atlantic, it's a demo and it wasn't booted as a demo, only an issue - brilliant copy mind, missing the AT stamp

I never left the scene and hand on heart I believe that 1974 -77 were the best years ever! I've never cared whether the artist was black white or purple, if I like a record then I like a record. Today I received The Magictones - How Can I Forget You (Wheelsville), I put on a tape and followed it with the fantastic Joannie Sommers Don't Pity Me...if I had to chose between the two, Joannie every time..

Jamie - try Clownpat! p.s. he has some interesting video material too

Er...I haven't got that !

No probs, just thought it was strange

Paul Anka is actually Chinese and Dean Parrish is an Aztec

How do you know John & The Weirdest are black? Eh?

how come you replied to my comment about Bari Track with a slagging off of Paul Weller - I never expressed an opinion on him!
