Thank you. I didn't know I was being accused of being a dinosaur? 🤣 If I am it is quite laughable and whoever it is obviously doesn't know me. They only have to look at some of the playlists on this topic to know otherwise. Again thank you, glad you enjoyed it, makes it worthwhile others enjoy them as much as me.

The Northern Soul Top 500 Final Edition
As the comment by Chatty was probably aimed at me given the names mentioned....I was at a venue this weekend just gone. I attend one or two a month work permitting, I work 4 on 4 off so work as many weekends as I don't. I did dance quite a bit Saturday, with many I danced too probably in the 500 (I have no idea what is in it btw). I have no desire to hear the top 500 week in week out having spent most of my nighter life promoting lesser played, semi and unknowns, that is still my outlook now, for some its like listening to the same episode of top of the pops every week, how boring. I do love the classics and that includes many of the top 500, some I don't, they are after all what I grew up with initially and what got me into the scene. I don't think I have been derogatory to the music, but like I said I prefer to hear something different on my nights out and have been vocal about this over the years. Some people/Djs just don't know when to give a record a rest, familiarity breeds contempt as they say. I didn't contribute to any of the Top 500s either.

Garnet Mimms - As Long As I Have You(Studio Version)
Tough to find on the French 45. It is on a couple of LPs.

Jaded Hearts
It’s not you I’m having a go at. I get cover versions but why do people have to think they are acceptable to play at an event? Northern Soul is eitist and driven by the rarities and exclusivity. Naff should be left to the muggles.

me ears are bleeding! IS this a p*ss tek? If any Dj played these I would want my money back. Why do people feel the need to mess about with a scene that has been going so strong for decades with crap imitations?

Mixed Emotions - Gold Of My Life - Rock-Way (1st Issue)
A year later mate the one with the Engineers name. Then on Cole around the same time if memory serves. "Am I Imposing" was early 00s. Early topics
-
Mixed Emotions - Gold Of My Life - Rock-Way (1st Issue)
The first issue is the Rock Way issue that doesn't credit the arranger. The Dutch one is as far as I am aware a year later in 1976. Elijah Cole was one nutty fruit cake 🤣

Hayes Cotton - Black Wings acetate.
It sounds unfinished to me the 'Has" version

Hayes Cotton - Black Wings acetate.
Subjective I guess? Many don't like a harmonica in records. I don't particularly but I do prefer the take with it in, gives a bit more oomph.

Discrepencies on recordings that shouldn't be there
Was having a catch up with an old mate the other day and the conversation turned to noises or discrepancies on recordings that shouldn't be there. He mentioned two, The Caressors "I can't Stay Away" and what sounds like a motor bike kicking ups and shooting off towards the end of the recording, definitely something there. Also mentioned was Little Charles & The Vee Jays on De Carl, the creaking of a door opening. The dog barking on the bootleg of Candi Staton was also mentioned. There must be loads of examples of this type of cock up that snook into a recording.

Well done and thanks for the hard work that goes into making Soul Source what it is

Hayes Cotton - Black Wings acetate.
There are a handful of the acetates, maybe 8 or 9 that Tim got I think in the early 90s, maybe 91?

CULCHETH with CARL & MARIA WILLINGHAM
Great record. I gave it a bit of a kick/revival some years ago on the nighter circuit after it had been ignored for years.
