So now it’s descended into promoting events.

I did say in my first post that Mr. Manship would know.

It’s bloody brilliant anyway.

If you listen carefully to the Southwind track, it is simply the instrumental parts from standard Lou Pride vocal spliced together, and then doubled up, ie. first half = second half.

The story at the time was that it was a brand new recording, and that the added piano was linked to an Al Green session player, although the pianists name was never mentioned.

The aforementioned "Love's On Ration", is the backing track to the Four Seasons - Watch The Flowers Grow, using Vocal Elimination technology with added hiss to try and cover the remnants of the vocals.

Both tracks appeared at the same time, around 80/81 but it could have been an extra year either way.

I need to have another listen to both the vocal and instrumental. I would never have guessed it was the same track. But everyday’s a school day.

I can’t help you, but I’ve always thought it was fantastic.

Mr. Manship is probably the man?

Jesus wept. Just confirming my opinion there Paul.

Oh, and don’t forget to show films on a screen on the stage. Soulboy the movie, and the old Wigan casino documentary from the 1970’s.

Jesus wept. Just confirming my opinion there Paul.

It’s about opinions, we all have them. My earlier post was simply “my personal” opinion.

Good luck to everyone else.

Hmm,

Well for what it`s worth. I and many others are in our mid to late sixties, still dancing( and quite well in some cases) , yes there are divvies as you call em and they were also plentiful in the mid 70`s so no change there! I agree with the videos of some events but other events on show look pretty decent so it all depends on what you watch imo on that one. As for the mix of music yes at some events they want to please or draw a crowd of as many as possible, so go "off piste" with  an eclectic mix which in many cases is as far removed from northern soul as gets and is truly awful..I avoid these  events period. On your final point I agree, the music is very special and to me always will be, so I can put up with a few divvies, the occasional look at me pratts , the pott bellied I love NS but I really never knew it until tonight and all the other minor irritations, cos it sure beats playing crib and listening to Val Doonican down at the Derby and Joan. So as long as I can I will be out on the floor lost in my own little World with Frankie Beverley, The Parliments, Alice Clark, etc. and leave the moaning and griping to those that must. Lol.

 

What keeps you going, if you know every record?

To me, the magic was always hearing something new.

Back in the day, the ONLY way to hear the music was to go out.

What’s your motivation?

Everything has a lifespan.

I’ve found some new hobbies and moved on.

Has everyone seen this?

Not at all, just funny that we like the same genre of music but might rate records quite differently

Well I’m not really a soul music fan. I’m more a northern soul fan. 
It’s about the song for me. Even the greatest soul voices have made some terrible recordings.

To me, the song writers are the real heroes.

Take the record in question, the Jades. It’s the actual song that does nothing for me. The vocals and the backing are excellent. But that’s just my personal opinion.

Taste is a funny thing isn't it, I think it's superb

Indeed it is, and thank goodness for that.

No offence intended. 

I must agree with that Jades 45. Bloody bad record that is. I wouldn’t give 5p never mind £5k.

I think there’s a definite drop in prices on certain items, but others are mind blowing! 
Very strange.

Yes and yes ... 

Any idea on current value?

Is this record still sought after? Worth much?

WTF! Curtis Lee??

Help ... that's an absolute horror:
Please correct me, but I thought vinyl or metal acetates have an absolutely short lifespan or limited playback time ... !!

As a collector and connoisseur, don't I have to try to get them on vinyl as quickly as possible?

Maybe that's the reason why I never really dedicated myself to this topic ...

Well that’s what I would do if I had any good acetates.

But here’s another thing.

What’s to say that the people that are transferring your one off acetate to vinyl, aren’t making a copy for themselves???

I know for a fact that this goes on.

Another turn I didn't expect. At least its not all about narcissism and online curated soul.

'Pornthern Soul'

That’s bizarre!!!

It was played at Burnley by myself and Cliff Camfield. Great record, very silly lyrics though.

I can’t remember who I sold it to now.

Leon Haywood 'it's got to be mellow' either on Evejim or Decca (USA) or the British cover version of Jason Simms with Music Through Six on Domain...

That’s it, that’s it! Brilliantly done my friend, thanks very much.
