see you Sunday mate in Hibs hopefully

bags were the fashion of the time, why does everything of times gone by have to be associated with today's scene or to make it stand out. Its the music that makes it stand out and different to any other dance scene, not the clothes we wear. Flares were a terrible fashion back then and are just as bad now but hey, each to their own. I see more out and about who don't wear yesteryears fashion and still dance the night away and have a good time. Many young uns I've seen who you say are into it are just a younger representation of their parents, same dress sense and same taste in music. The young un's who don't really have any attachment to parents at venues, or who's parents who do attend venues have moved with the time don't dress in yesteryears fashions and don't feel the need to. Are they any less into it? They don't look it. And just which upfront venues play town centre disco/funk or are you making sweeping generalisations not based on experience??? Name the venues!

I've heard plenty of youngsters DJ but IMO they have very little to offer that isn't already on offer. In some cases all they jhave is there parents taste which isn't hardly forward thinking. They don't have the knowledge or experience that many older DJ's have to offer so why shun the older generation just to give youngsters a chance. As far as DJing is concerned knowledge and experience should come over youthful exuberance. In any other music field knowledge is god, rarely do you see younger inexperienced DJ's at the top or even on the radio. Anyway who cares how long it will last, enjoy it while you can or for as long as you want. I will . Even if I stopped attending venues I will still have the same passion for the music that I always have had.

that's where the boot came from isn't it, album version cut to 45 and titled Towanda Barnes.

many thanks

been out a few years but now sold out by the publishers/Bob McGrath.

got to agree with that Brett, luckily I managed to get volume 4, can't believe I left it so long to get it though. I need to try and get them hard bound or protected, any ideas anyone????

Can anyone post decent quality refosoul posts of... Billy Sol Time Time on Domar and Richard Moorhead Don't Try To use Me - Aura

I can't see me travelling all over to venues in 10 years let alone 20. Knackered now with trying to fit home life, work and soul into one week. Don't think there are nowhere near enough young un's to carry on the scene, certainly not nationwide, maybe the odd local night or so. Kids in general aren't interested in vinyl, most weren't even born when cd's were introduced. They all live in a digital age and Northern Soul isn't in the digital world...maybe at home to a certain extent but not in the venues.

he hasn't any of volume four left that I can confirm!!

I think it's an acetate that was sold few years ago by someone in the midlands area, Mick Holdsworth????

your only chance is either someone who stocked them (not that many a far as I know) or someone who is willing to sell your their copies. Have you tried ebay etc?

is that first time anywhere?

what is the "relative" unknown? As you've won sure you can spill the beans

Larry Hammond Sad Sad Day (Sidras Theme), Larry Hammond - Whenever I'm Without You (backing to Happiness Is Here), the alt of Elijah Rocking With Soul. What are/is the other one Dave? Apart from 6x6. It was about ten years ago Dave, I remember Dave sent me an e-mail telling the full story but over the years it got lost somewhere. Maybe someone should get the full story from him once again.

there is also an instrumental version with some male harmony in the background and an acappella version of the Prophets - One Gold Piece.....magic stuff. To say the label is shite is a bit of an overstatement, true there are some average tracks on it but there are also some of the best northern recorded as well IMHO. JD Bryant is in my all time top ten, Ray Pollard, Sidney Hall, Cautions etc top drawer!!!

four andantes is usually vg+ at best when they do turn up. not seen many minters.

Brain's waking up...one of the Larry Hammond tracks uses the Happiness Is Here backing called Whenever I'm With You.

yep thats the one Mike, just trying to remember name of track and artist....

Dave did the Sidras Theme one, two Larry Hammond tracks and another that uses the backing to one of the Topper label tracks, forget at the minute which one and the name of the artist.

which one?

but if thats the counter figure at the bottom of the page it's views not watching. I've viewed it but I'm not watching it.

with postage form the states surface, they cost me around £75 ($125) for each volume. Now sorted I hope with the 4th Volume so complete set now

Hi Paul, he only has volume 3 on his site. He may have them but not stuck 'em up on site....hopefully he's reading this sometime soon.

Does anyone know of any stockists of the R&B Indies? I've been on the eyeballproductions site and they have sold out. I'm missing volume 4!!
