I didn't say the scene was dying it was an idle wondering is all i really don't go out much and as mark said previously the music has taken many turns and as I am getting on in years i prefer to tap my toes to the gentler pace ie-seriously soulful. I still love my soul but have stayed away from venues that just churned out the same old rubbish time after time. The "age" thing came up after I looked at some pics from one of the oldies weekenders and the mean age was prolly 60 . I m a member of a ladies only ( sorry gents) vinyl freak FB group where the age range is really young and the lady collectors are from all points of the globe its all genres but mainly soul & boogie its great place to hear new stuff. The thing is we have all built up our various collections over the years and now that I have more disposable income ( kids all buggered off lol) I have no desire to buy big ticket items anymore cos I much prefer to select records that suit my pace these days and most of those are about £10-20. But I recently had to catalogue my records for insurance purposes and the value ( book price blah) is astounding...Who will want these little discs of vinyl after I am gone? I don't DJ much anymore unless someone twists my arm...My eldest son I used to take to venues with me he loved the music and has a small collection of vinyl himself which he has now asked me to sell as they have a baby on the way he has no interest in inheriting my collection to keep it would be purely an asset to sell...it wont be long...coming to a car boot sale soon...

it is a sad state of affairs when none of us are getting any younger to turn on the PC log in to SS and read the news that another of the soul collective has lost the fight for life...at the moment it feels like almost one a week and if it isn't soul fans it's soul legends passing away... are the young uns going to carry on our stalwart way of life?...i know most of the rest of europe tend to have a younger scene than us old farts still harking back to wigan etc but will they be as avid?...will our record collections be adorning the pasting tables of many a car boot sale? i would like the opinions of some of the younger members here to soothe an old soul who really hasnt been out on the scene as such for quite a while due to a mixture of factors...ie-i am in nursing and we work shifts and the old cant be arsed syndrome...maybe a new interest will spark out of that film northern soul...i fecking hope not cos that just made us look like a bunch of drug taking anoraks...is it all as vibrant as it once was...memory permitting...

anyone?

this years 100 club anni single please if you are going to have a spare ...cant make it again due to poxy work also still wanted the monzas instant love Cheers in advance

here's a thing I have distanced myself from the whole soul thang...not been to many a venue ( apart from seriously soulful in bristol)...not a bloody clue what is being played currently......still buying what i like mind you...have a partner who has not a clue but kinda likes the music i play him... where currently should I dunk his uneducated head into the world of soul music??...i kinda miss the soul scene it soothes my spirits ( if it's the right venue lol)...where do you place your unknowing other...bearing in mind his significant other has no interest in oldies nights...

cash waiting £75 paid for the light blue label £150 for the blue and white dependent on condition...PM please

in fine ty ezzie...still sitting on the fringe of the scene and cant be bothered to go anywhere lol...hope you are fine and dandy

sticking a star on the label design to alert you to the "re-press" thing is another of the recent counterfeiters shite efforts that really makes me spit ( and a lady should not spit)...who is mass producing this stuff? it must be someone who has access to the records/ labels to scan. I lose the will to look at ebay lately as you have to trawl through endless listings of this stuff and its all available pretty cheaply if you dont care if its OV or not...in a dimly lit venue some of them could be passed off as originals...and sadly they are even counterfeiting relatively cheap records too an example being a couple of numonics tracks ...tenner each for an original?? and i have stock (original) if anyone wants them I think personally the film northern soul has a lot to do with the recent spate of counterfeit items as its mostly tried and tested oldies and maybe a younger/seen the film generation with the new found vigour for vinyl will buy the songs in any format...and the film was shite to boot! ( pardon the boot pun)...
