Thanks mate

Is this a soul source record for a topic changing topic so quickly 😂🤪

Just like there is no genre called Northern, there is no genre called popcorn, the are both scenes that pull from several genres. It could be that half of popcorn is Northern, they didn't find it all. Have to agree though it is becoming a parody of the scene it once was, it not so much about the music anymore. It seems to be more about the circus surrounding it and I'm not referring to the dress just the whole goings on on that side of the scene. But each to their own. As for the sayings, I've never used them and none of my mates have, yes we had them on badges, patches, flyers etc but no one I know used to go round saying keep the faith when we left in the morning or keep on keeping on (koko). I immediately think div when I see grown ups using all this nonsense. You should read some of the nonsense from some on some of the Facebook groups, good comedy writes itself. I get where the sayings originated and what they meant but the context in how they are used now are far removed from the civil rights of the 60s and 70s black America....I would guess some of those using them have no or little idea?

Its no secret but will do

What has dancing into your 60s got to do with the question that started this….quoting the daft terms we have picked up along the way?

Plenty….its a great term I think and totally sums em up 😂

There isn’t t a current price, I doubt very much you would prze it out of the collection of the current owner.

I just think anyone using these today are just divs trying to look like cool northern soulies 🤣 Does anyone seriously use these whilst they are out?

So we should only post positive comments? It's a forum, a place to give opinions. It isn't about hating for the sake of hating, I just do not rate her, never have, never will.

Martha Reeves (a few times 🙄). Mary Wells, Ruby Andrews who couldn’t remember or didn’t know the words, both times I’ve seen her.

They were brilliant, the backing singer/horn player was fantastic.

The best Djs IMO are collectors. It is the depth of their collections and knowledge that give them the edge. Hot boxers come and go. Everyone seems to equate Djing with spending lots of money but that shouldn’t be and isn’t the case. There is certainly no nee to resort to playing bootlegs. There are countless 45s well within the budget of most good enough for the dancefloor and I would sooner hear these, a set put together with imagination. There is no skill or imagination in a set full of expensive classics.

But many top Djs played carvers/emi discs throughout the 70s and 80s. It was the only way you heard many sounds. These days though there is no reason or excuse as the market opened up most of the top records turned up and there are p,enty of Djs who can do a set with the biggest records. No reason for anyone at any venue to be playing carvers or boots.

What a load of tosh. Richard Searling, doesn’t dance, Butch, Andy Dyson and I can think of many others who you never or rarely see on the floor. You don’t need to be a dancer to put a set together. I do agree that there are many cheque book djs who cannot put a set together, dancers or not.

Sorry but I’m in the “what has she got to do with this forum” camp. Just never got her nor the fuss around her, poor singer IMO, don’t think she had anything soulful about her act tbh. But as said each to their own.

The acts are all listed at the end. Chuck Carter and Chuck Jackson would be great to see.

Have to say the footage is extraordinary, simply superb. Mark Kermode gave it a glowing review on Wittertainment, film of the week and his best film of the year so far, the best music film/documentary ever. He has watched it four times. Here is his Guardian review.... https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/jul/18/summer-of-soul-review-questlove-documentary-harlem-cultural-festival-1969

Ady Pountain had it, George Sharp too if memory serves.

Hamilton Movement twice the price of Norma, this is what makes a mockery of the collecting scene and just goes to show its an ego trippin Dj led scene. Loons. Cajun Hart 🙄 It was a tough sell at £400 a few years ago. I’d want the demo and the UK issue for that.

The UK sellers add the postage on a bit more knowing most will pay it rather than go to the states, vultures.

Really? I’ve always found UK sellers to be far more expensive than any US seller in general. I’ve often bought from the US rather than give my money to a greedy Brit who often mark their prices for Lps 50 to 100% more expensive.

This weeks show with a 3,2,1, selection from Kev Roberts....

It was big before the Dome, Kenny Burrell. I was at the Dome, it was sh*te then and it still is.
