  1. But the format does matter and to say it diesnโ€™t is a bit silly, even baby boy is saying that about the soul scene. For a lot of venues it is actually stressed in promotion that it is original vinyl only.
  2. But that something different will be well known to those who do the upfront side of the scene and if you frequent those venues it wonโ€™t be any different. Same for crossover venues which invariably play the bulk of records places like Thorne were featuring. I go to those venues, not the two you mention but the ones I do (not as often as I once did) offer nothing different except the fact they are not classics sounds. Maybe this topic should be merged with tn3bstate of the scene topic.
  3. Oh and no one has private messaged me yet with one boot playing dj or boot promoting promoter? If we wish to improve the scene lets out them and let eveyone know who to avoid?
  4. I think mostvoldies venues are more interested in numbers throug the door. It si only the other aspects of the scene that care first about the music, secondly attendances. We will never have it like we once did, thats the problem for many of us, especially those who want to hear something different. Very few new records, the majority of what there is are from the vaults and on cd which the scene frowns upon. The only thing essentially different is the oldies crowd aren't playing them. The something different crowd including those mentioned are playing very little if nothing new. Still plenty of good nights out there but lets at the very least be honest about what we are going out to listen to.
  5. How many of these venues are playing reissues and boots? If you donโ€™t wish to say in public PM me and Iโ€™ll say it. Iโ€™ve asked this question before and no one said anything. Sounds like one sweeping assumption to suggest the 55 venues are made up of boot playing Djs with promoters who couldnโ€™t give a fcuk.
  6. Even the โ€œsomething differentโ€ or โ€œupfrontโ€ are playing the same records. All the facets of the scene are basically oldies scenes now.
  7. I think some, well many just go too far with the retro look, the size of the flares, the number of pockets etc. From looking cool to looking like a clown for some.
  8. Smart and distinctive? I think it looks ridiculous on many of them. There is plenty of photographic evidence from around 80/81 at the casino and hardly any bags in sight.

    Billboard allegedly but there is no written evidence of this in Billboard ( I went through them all for that time) or anywhere else...all in Russ's head if you ask me.

    It wasn't aimed at you personally Dave ๐Ÿ˜‚ I fully agree with you regarding the unnecessary pigeon holing. I said earlier that it didn't happen not so long ago, Soul wasn't even mentioned yet we knew what we were getting and everything was played under one roof in one room. I think most of the pigeon holing is dealers exploiting the particular in sound of the moment. It should all come down to if it is good or bad!
  11. Chalky replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Whilst Disco is derived from the French discothรจque it isn't a simple as saying everything is aimed at being played in a disco, that isn't what the disco we refer to is. Whilst disco of which we refer to was played in the clubs it is a genre of music in its own right and not about the place.
  12. Liverpool's William Askew once again joins Deanna Gez in the studio for some quality soul music.
  13. Chalky replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Take a look at the Stafford flyers, the only mention of soul was in the club name, no northern, modern, r&b, disco, crossover etc mentioned yet it was all played
  14. Chalky replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    We never had none of the pigeon holes, it was just rare soul or northern soul...no one cared whatbyear it was recorded, everything under one roof and in one room, thats what Steve means. All pigeon holing does is create division.
  15. Chalky replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Disco initially had none of those acts mentioned by Robert, Village People etc, it was solely black music and a natural progression of what had gone before. The VP and the other acts etc were simply the money men cashing in on what was happening at street level and clubs, thats how I see it.
  16. Are we sure ahe is a Witch though and not someone simply there at the time?
  17. Northern Soul Connections #17 Halloween Edition - The Witches and The Warlock Northern Connections #17 - Itโ€™s October. Spooky goings on, as we approach Halloween. Another Witch uncovered? The double life of the Warlock? Maybe, maybe not. Judge for yourself. View full article
  18. It might be niche Des but Diggin Deep sold out their 300 copies in 24 hours, other take a little longer but eventually sell out.
  19. As much as I love soul music, new soul music and vinyl I am now beginning to pick and choose what releases I buy when they are priced over ยฃ10/ยฃ12. neither do I get the 300 press only, it costs very little extra (the price of a dozen sales in most cases) to press 500 rather than 300.
  20. Press Release: The Internationals โ€œBeautiful Philosophy/Too Sweet To Be Lonelyโ€ SJ1013 Release Date: Monday 15th October 2018 Listen whilst you read: Your browser does not support the audio element The Internationals - SJ1013 Promo.mp3 Legendary songwriting siblings Richard and Robert Poindexter often during the 1960โ€™s frequented the CBS Building at 1697 Broadway and 53rdSt (formerly known as the Ed Sullivan Building). On several of their visits they noticed a young man by the name of James โ€œB.J.โ€ Barnes, using one of the buildingโ€™s many rehearsal rooms. Eventually the Poindexterโ€™s invited B.Jโ€™ to partake in one of their open rehearsals. Asked to give their honest opinion regarding his voice, although they both liked him the brothers felt he didnโ€™t have a strong enough voice to be a solo performer and recommended that he join or became a group. The very next day B.J returned with two other singers by the names of Randy and Tony, again the Poindexterโ€™s liked what they heard but felt potentially this new ensemble still needed a fourth member, this situation was rectified with the addition of Douglas โ€œSmokeyโ€ Scott the groups eventually lead singer. An initial recording session for this as yet un- named group lead to the recording of three unrehearsed songs โ€œGive A Damnโ€, โ€œPush Button Loveโ€ and โ€œBeautiful Philosophy (Of Love)โ€ with Robert Poindexterโ€™s wife Jackie Members contributing to the songwriting credits. With the group taking the name of โ€˜The Internationalsโ€™ they released their first single on the Dโ€™ar Recording Company label during 1969 โ€œGive A Damn/Push Button Loveโ€ (Dโ€™ar 102) followed later in the same year with their second release โ€œToo Sweet To Be Lonely/Beautiful Philosophyโ€ (Dโ€™ar 105). The lead track for this second 45 release a further Poindexterโ€™s composition which had been previously recorded on The Oโ€™Jayโ€™s as part of their 1968 Bell records โ€œBack On Topโ€ album project and also by a songwriting colleague of the Poindexterโ€™s Ray Lewis (Dโ€™ar 101). The Dโ€™ar label was owned by Jeff Moore and a silent partner, with Moore overseeing the day to day running of the company. The Internationals later broke up with Randy and Tony leaving the group, leaving โ€œB.J.โ€ and โ€œSmokeyโ€, who with the addition of Charles Stodghill and with Richard Poindexter briefly filling in as a vocalist, became the hit group The Persuaders. Richard Poindexter although a reluctant singer, did sing on both sides of The Persuaders 1971 million seller โ€œThin Line Between Love &Hate/Thigh Spyโ€ as well as a third song โ€œYou Musta Put Something In Your Loveโ€ before returning to his preferred position as a songwriter/producer upon the arrival of a later new group member Willie Holland. Hollandโ€™s vocals would then on feature on the remaining tracks from the groups 1972 โ€œThin Line Between Love & Hateโ€ (Win Or Lose Productions) album. Today The Internationals second 45 is a highly regarded and sort after example of the genre of Soul known as โ€˜Crossoverโ€™.
