There is series of 5 interviews with Eddie on you tube, where he speaks about deciding on the Irish trip as an opener. Well worth watching. I’ll grab a link later on.

The one thing Eddie pillar is especially good at, is story telling! This will be a great read. Love the cover pic as well.

The flip of this 45 is really good, you should check that out.. Ralph Weeks & The Telecasters - Gua Jazz.mp3

I’ll take this one malc

Can I ask, does this Lp have better audable tracks than the Horaces releases, given there has been 30 years since those came out?

Very excited about this album release, ‘We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue’ is a firm favorite in my house... Malc

I was very excited about EVERYTHING / EVERYWHERE, and I enjoyed the film. But it lost me halfway through, somehow, I just didn't care about the ending, but I love Michelle Yeoh, actually I felt much the same way about the last series of Star Trek Discovery, that Michelle Yeoh wasnt in!! I actually wished Star Trek had all perished, it would have been far more entertaining that the crap storyline they did film. And who here thinks they really underused John Carpenter, he should have had a far more prominent role...with some far better lines... That said, and sorry I've clearly gone over to my Trek side, who likes the new Piccard series? I actually think it's very good, but I think I’ve seen that story line before in Discovery?? an entity has taken over star trek headquarters and all that, any thoughts terksters...

Have you? I'd love to go watch her perform live, I hadn't considered that, thanks for the suggestion

Very subjective topic, it's whoever you have grown up with isn’t it...? My first hero's Tony Reynolds (Outrigger, later 'The Ship Ashore'), Pep, Harpo, Max, Ted Massey and the crew at the Old Vic, Martin Red (Martin Redmond) for what he did at the Hummingbird and early shellys, if we travelled for house, it was always the Flying Dj's, Brandon Block, et al, and we always turned up anywhere Justin Robinson played. in the 9ts, it was everything 100 club, so all those guys, Ady, Mick, Butch, and of course Dave Flynn, Shifty, Irish Greg, Alan Hanscombe, all the Capitol soul folks... as I said, very subjective..

Pm'd ya mate

Not Soul, just a very very cool track and video, Ive been transfixed on this all day... Give it the thumbs up!!! Malc

about to say the same, 'Oh WOW', I've never been to Thailand, but with views like that Alan!!

That baby is very disconcerting... here is a picture of another body sculpture made in Soap, which degrades with time and weather, taken in Santiago De Compostela a few years back. I did look for the arms, I guess they assumed the arms would go first, so they didnt include them, that said who would steal the arms? lol

Hi folks, always after sleeves, anybody got good condition sleeves from the following Aussie lables? Sue, Chess (Plastic or Paper designs), Atlantic (Green), Festival (Blue Logo), Festival Hits, Astor, Verve (Brown or White/Red). I also always need W&G, but they must be the corresponding overseas pops series, generally the ones that fit the WG-S-8000 series, as most of the blue label stuff was licensed from the UK and USA, and those are the records I collect, not that country racket from Tamworth!! The sleeves normally state pops from abroard, or list non Aussie artists... I'll see if I can scan an example.. cheers all Malcolm

Sold my Pat Johnson at £200 a few years back, I love that track but it took a while to go, think I had it at £250 to start... if it plays through ok Nige I'd be interested in that 45... Malc

Ha, Simon Mayo went to my school in the West Midlands, said it was dump... he didn't stay long...

Great track that Shades record...

Can’t argue with that, I knew I’d get proven wrong as I wrote that out, I think there are the classics, Human Beings, Sheep etc plus loads more, but there does seem to be a steady stream of unknown stuff being offered up. As I say I collect garage, I don’t need converting, I love the stuff. It’s a hard nut to crack this one, but to say we / they/ the new unwashed don’t have that Motown sound as a base as it was to folks in the late 6ts early 7ts… that is different…

Anybody got a nice copy of this one? I managed to warp mine, how I did that I’ll never know. This is a common cheapie pls don’t pm me with silly 50 quid offers… Lee Lamont - I’ll take Love / back beat Cheers malc

How about just great film scores, You can’t beat Clint Eastwood in Magnum Force, the music or the film… but that opening music is a killer! It’s NASTY!

Just some thoughts... Let me start with Garage posing as Northern Soul, seems to have crept in big the last ten years, I like garage records allot, I collect them, not all of them of course, but I hear people saying this allot, and I'd have to agree, it's not Northern Soul. The other music that's become a big part of 'now' is the new productions in a Sixties, or Northern style. I buy some of them, but my sense is that music genre has its own scene, and I think that it will on the whole appeal to more diverse and younger audience, thats not 'Northern Soul' is it? In addition, the reissue and unreleased market has never been so good, so the 'Soul Scene' today does have allot of new streams of music feeding into it. As to Tim's point above I think he is right, Northern Soul seems to have lost its way, if you hold the past against today, and I think that decline started after 2002/3/4. I think the internet has made it more accessible to all, a good thing, but it's definitely watered it down, add in age, and the fact that there were only so many traditional 'Northern' soul 45's out there, it is inevitable that the Northern Scene would change, so much so that for some it has become unrecognisable. Recently I've really enjoyed allot of Colin Curtis's radio shows, especially the chats with Pep and Tim Ashibende, and there have been lots of posts and info on classic sounds, the Showstoppers thread for example on here. I hadn't thought about it much, but I think unconsciously there is a yearning from some for what traditional Northern soul was and is. It's has captured my imagination again, and reminded me of life before Ebay and Discogs, like most on here I preferred printed sales lists, swapping tapes, calling up and making your order, and boxes at venues. And I think the prices of original 45's has in a way tainted things, there were always rare expensive records, that’s the core of it, but auction sites with common records, making silly money, aside of the argument about the market dictates! and all that, it just puts me off it. I can’t offer any thoughts on venues, as I don't get out any more at all, although I do sometimes flutter with idea, I just wouldn't want to turn up somewhere and find the music is so diverse I could not get a handle it...or they played crap music... Maybe Rob (Lionelonthevinyl) can explain where 'wolfies' is, not heard of that one Rob..

ahhhh... you're right there... Still, not worth £115 either BAH HUMBUG!! laughing

I'm reading 'A People Betrayed' by Paul Preston at the moment, a history of the corruption in modern Spain, thankfully which is now lifting, Spain is looking up, it's a great country and culture... But it reminded me of a film somebody send me as a DVD on here from the last Film thread, can't remember who it was, thank you btw. It's called 'Butterfly's Tounge'. well worth watching, directed by Jose Luis Cuerdas. Thought I'd break up you French film buffs! I'm joking.. Laughing

If you have Netflix there are loads of great Spanish productions to check out. I especially like ERRMENTARI (The Blacksmith and the Devil). Well worth watching, and you get to practice your Spanish while you're at it... ¡gran película! "A blacksmith holds a demon in captivity, torturing it as revenge for his troubles. One day, an orphan girl stumbles upon the demon's enclosure and unwittingly releases it."
