Rest in peasce Chris. Concur with Frank his words back in 7ts HBS got the word to many in the Cambs, Northants, Home Counties about our thursday night club in Addison Centre Kempston, many of which am still friends to day with, respect

Was thinking the same plus JJ Barnes "Aint it the truth"

Hey Steve After checking that he's not on the run from ya, have pm'd you Best Danny

After watching the biggest global farewell of all time , just her performance alone was worth it. Siedah Garrett's singing live in front of so many Motown legends for the MJ tribute, that girl can sing.

So many great bands put on in their prime, along with casino top two venues i've had the fortune to venture yet never seems to get a mention... tymes, harold melvin, bob marley, 4 tops, junior walker and tons more

Harry the term "coloured lad" I used to use that innocently back in the day too but when you really think bout it, is sh%t

Play this side alot - who you gonna run to- lenny curtis (where do i post soundfile at mo)

Behind the ladies handbags eh, guessin you were in the ladies underwear section again

T¡ mo bhr­ste tr­ thine!

ROY my love slow FIZZ

Am the first to admit to being a luddite, but think amplification of sound and electromechanical instruments such as a Hammond organ or electric guitar is a little different to creating muic via electronic means such as a synthesizer which imitates a Hammond or piano... can sound a bit souless to some ears. Its modern technology and general lack of gospel plus the usual gold chains, bitches and swimming pools, crap lyrics that I cant stand with modern RnB

What all wet and full of custard and someones hooter??

Cheers Rob Got the cd today mate, sounds great driving along in the sunshine

Wasn't Sunny in the original Brotherhood of Man who did United We Stand Divided We Fall?? Yeah your right there Phillip, with her sister Sue, your not as daft as you look

Webby get off the pc your like a man possessed Holly St James

Thats almost northern, this one by session singer Sunny always had someone doing "northern" to it

Suprised this didnt get any feedback, top stuff (for the modern room) another link for track/sale https://www.rarenorthernsoul.com/?gclid=CIv...CFVsA4wodDAP1tw

Hi Rob hope your well, has his own version of "chains" ever been on a 45, noticed its on the cd, fantastic

For the most part "newies" from back in the day, now called "oldies" were far more instant/obvious to the ear and the uptempo dance floor. Nowadays NS is more wide ranging and sophisticated, newies tend to be less immediate to most and grow on the dancefloor over a number of plays. We forget that some have not been listening to rare soul that long. it can go over your head, and it's maybe a little different to the latest TV ad music some got the introduction from.. If you're at a venue with a big empty floor, no matter how great the music and people the nights will miss that buzz from the floor filled with dancers. A pub with no dance floor pressure is an ideal place for upfront stuff especially the mid-down tempo pipe and slippers stuff Over here (at times out of necessity at a start up club) we constantly attempt to introduce new people to the scene, the payback is some old reliables albeit in small quantities to keep possible converts interested. At same time we still manage to knock out a fair share of something different. There is room for the dj who warms up/sets the mood/gets people dancing early with quality well known sounds, putting his indulgence second to getting the night up and running..What's wrong with a bit of known amongst the lesser known tunes over a night. Preferably if you have a venue sufficiently filled with up for anything dancers rushing eagerly to the floor once doors open, that is utopia and I am envious you lucky bat*rd Danny

Alrite Nev, yeah not everyones cuppa rosey but am with you mate damn fine record, and Tim Brown deserves the credit for raising its profile, that rare 'soul review' cd on goldmine prob the best one of the last few years also included Louis Paul and Dusty Wilson, remember PS saying DW was crap too before changing his mind d

Eduard (Ty Karim on here) had that in his sales list Last November for 12 squid

without the naff dancers approach there would be no scene and no one to play your exclusive tunes to! as far as changing views if the same tunes where played at every venue i have to disagree because you know what your going to get at different events and make an informed choice.... as ive said a D.J is judged on his set with most punters and not whether its ov! god we have lives to live, do you think we have sleepless nights about it? I think most rare soul collectors just need to admit they have a habit they cannot control and not try to justify it by slagging off anyone else who dare play a re-issue. I have sleepless nights every month ,it's the name of our club I didn't think I slagged off people who play reissues or boots just said they should be upfront about doing so. Dancers (this includes many a dj) have differing views, some want to dance to same old all night, others willing to hear something for the first time now and again. Rare soul records should remain just that, theirs tons of expensive and cheap tunes no need for them to be hammered by lazy dj's who show no inclination or imagination in looking to keep the scene fresh. Original vinyl ensures you'r gonna hear something different from guys passionately pushing their latest purchase irrespective of cost and cover ups do add a bit of mystery and increase interest in artist when finally revealed. You wouldn't have heard it anyway if not for the crate digger willing to play something unknown. Legit re-issues tend to get hammered too. How many unknowns at an any format night?
