Cant Chalky - I am in Edinburgh preparing for a Latin day - at Fettes College ( I do a presentation on Roman Military life in the late 1st century) Fettes College is the school that JK Rowling used as the inspiration for Hogwarts - £21000 a year to attend and its where Tony Blair went to. Google it and you.ll see what I mean. I would have been interested in attending and hope that a synopsis of the day will be published. It would have been interesting to see what someones perspective is about the scene today as opposed to what might have been called "The Golden age" as I think people are now involved in it or go to nights for very different reasons than they did when they were young. As for Ady - I dont see where this fits in to the day- I have a lot of time for him and his crew in what they do but is anyone really interested in the trials and tribulations of licensing etc - I may be wrong and again I hope that Ady will provide a synopsis of his presentation. If your going Chalky would appreciate feedback! ATB Steve

Just noticed Dr Gibsons last couple of lines of the invite! She quote- I am very keen to invite fans to the event and would like to put the details on this site. Best wishes, Lucys " She uses the word "Fans" - Are people going to wear Shirts with Northern soul on and have a scarf around their neck with the same on it! Its condescending! If she had said "All welcome" or used the term "Delegates or Attendees" which is what is usuall the terms used for Participants at a symposium/seminar. Using the term fans equates it to some sporting event and therefore missed the whole point of what "Northern soul" is about IMO

Social anthropology my backside! Its a seminar on people who have different views about the subject matter thats all. Some may have research papersto discuss but a seminar on Social anthropology and Northern soul it is not IMO Question is it going to look at the Ergonomics of records? From the above I think not. Will it discuss Human directional value of postural movement in regards to high and low frequency sound - I think not! Its a "Get Together" to try and scientifically describe some behavior aspects of the scene and Ady to tell us the difference between it s like now as opposed to 30 years ago when I worked part time at Global as far as licensing etc or has it not changed Ady? However it should be interesting to hear and I would very much welcome submission papers to be published here prior to the event - It will either make it more of interest or kill it off completely! One last thing - Anyone from the "Soul Police" running an alternative event entitled - "Dont talk Bollox- as you know nothing about the scene":thumbsup: Now thats Social Anthropology in its simplest form!

Could be one of those tunes that gets a revival!

You cannot avoid customs no matter what way you send it! Those that dont have a customs sticker on it usually have a maximum value for Compensation in the same way as we have recorded delivery which is £41- Fingers crossed it dont come cracked NEV! ATB Steve

This the trap I fell into regarding what format. The Lost Someone on King is totally different record Album only - On "hell" Polydor Be careful of Reissues of the album (180g) rather than the original.
