The blurred line...
I'm surprised this is still debated - do people really still characterise any danceable soul from the seventies (particularly the late seventies) as disco? Added to which, 'modern' sounds have been spun since the 70s - isn't it time just to put this to bed, move on and accept that this kind of soul (disco or otherwise) has its place on a northern dancefloor?

Bad soul doo's
I attended the Modern Soul Allniter at the 100 Club - it was March 1993. I remember enjoying myself and I don't recall attendance being that sparse. I also remember there being other events playing modern soul at that time. Could it be that I like modern soul and the original poster doesn't?!!

They did a brilliant version of Brainstorm's Wake Up And Be Somebody - a real disco stormer!!- The rise of the 'NEW' soulie and the soul revolution.
This has been mentioned many times but this demonstrates that there are 2 northern scenes - one which has chosen to evolve and embrace new sounds and another which has chosen to stick with the tried and tested. One man's stale oldie is another man's classic memory jerker and one man's fresh, new discovery is another man's turgid obscurity!- Japanese 45s source? Marvin Gaye - I wanna be where you are

A nice, imaginative selection of tunes - not an overplayed 'modern oldie' in sight!!!- EARTH WIND & FIRE - HAPPY FEELIN' U.S PROMO 7
Nothing to do with today's oldies-driven northern scene maybe and all the better for it!!- EARTH WIND & FIRE - HAPPY FEELIN' U.S PROMO 7
I see it listed on Discogs but no copies or record of any sales. As stated above, 2 superb sides and a nice 45 to have and to play!! https://www.discogs.com/Earth-Wind-Fire-Reasons-Happy-Feelin/release/2888185- Modern soul records sounding better than when they were released
Not sure why it would have sounded retro in 1980 (the production being pretty typical for that time) but it sounds good to me and I like those syndrums.- Phil Flowers - Stay Awhile Future 12
