Simsy

Cool mod in every sense

In Otis & Carla's Tramp there's a line where she says "Otis, you're a country". My mate edited this to make it sound like Carla was being very abusive to Otis. It was hilarious.

Dan masterpiece as usual

Not a soul record but a dude here a work thought that Eton Rifles by the Jam was "he's a right fool" he's a right fool he's a right fool

True Al Wilson cazy f**ker!

On the way in this morning I was listening to Ruby Andrews - Just loving you and she definitely does sing "such a tit head" towards the end of the song, no question. In Cookie Jackson's - Do you still love me, she does say "Ian Sims" during the song. And my mate thinks that Lonzine Cannon number is all about drugs as he says "you call me and asked me for an eighth". All right that last one was a joke, but there are some unfathomable lyrics that have taken years to work out what they are singing about and some I'm still not sure about. Here's a couple that were unwrapped years ago, but it took years to figure them out ... "look before you leap and count, count your blessings instead of sheep". Another was, "Give up you silly fool give up, that's what my friends tell me to do. If anyone knows what the Cairo's were on about; "every day when she walks by, I give her my biggest smile, but it's always in vain and I see it ????" Are there any soul songs you know with strange indecipherable lyrics? Or are there any we can help you with maybe?

Ral Donner - Don't let it slip away Williams & Watson - Too late James Bounty - Prove yourself a lady Dean Parrish - I'm on my way

Rufus Lumley - I'm standing

Got into Northern around 1983 and have been in there with both feet since. Interesting topic though, then and now thing . Now.......I drive a sensible car of Germanic persuasion. Designed to get me there & back in comfort, safely. Then......I drove an S reg Chrysler Avenger, that was designed to overheat and play up constantly. Tinny sounds from shitty cassette player. Now.......I may need some 'assistance' to make it through the night. Then......We stayed to the end and drove back from afar on youth and vitality alone.

Would still like to see a proper film about the history of Motown. Samuel L Jackson perfect for the role of Harvey Fuqua. Any way you want, any way you want , any way you want!

Got sent a great CD for my birthday the other day. Many fine tracks etc. One that stood out for me was, Delroy Wilson ~ I want justice. Top tune

Was just gonna say George Pepp Hairy knuckles for a chick

Lyrics similar to that Gerri Granger c/u Ady plays - Why can't it be tonight.

Have a listen to the flip of this if it's the same as the US issue, it's a treat. All about LSD

What I want to know is why Jon brought this thread back to life after being dormant for a year? Something not quite right about NS dance lessons imo. Think I know what it is that troubles me about them. If it is possible to teach someone how to dance NS style, then they're being fast tracked and in doing so missing out on the discovery experience. Nationally speaking the rare soul fan is in a minority, but if you love the music, it should move you. In through the ears and out through the legs.

Holy moly, £25 for a pressing! Remember Rob Smith - £1.50 worn!

I know we know a Stardust copies' only worth a tenner. But I wonder if it'd fetch anymore than that, bearing in mind the above And the Pyramid boot going for £70 on ebay etc. Think someone should give it a go

Ooh you'll get slated for that on here Gene. I think it's great, got one on Decca

Wise words You're another (along with Baz) that should be in this flick mate, looking younger than your 31 years and you're a good dancer

You could be in it mate, with your youthful look How's yer dancin'?

They had scouts at 100 last Sat. They were after young looking dancers. My mate tried to schmooze on of them

Joe Hinton - You gotta have love (BACKBEAT). Under a tenner and simply fantastic. Great dancer

Had over a dozen items going through then. After losing a mint Capitol, Nancy Wilson for four quid, to some dude in Germany. Thought it wise to use Joanne's ID to put a £40 bid on that LP, which I thought was reasonable. But was surprised when it didn't fetch more. Took my eye off the ball see. Not with Timi though. Paid my £800 tax bill that month. Glad I've still got the LP.

Strewth! No sod wanted my Something Bad LP the other week, my bird was the high bidder

Good call and a great record. Was given a UK issue of this for my birthday yesterday. Which was nice What about the Tops - Baby I need your loving. Would be a sensational discovery. Sometimes played as an ender at 100.
